Because cotton can fray, is it bad to make a hammock of out it for my rats? I would probably fold and sew the edges..

does anyone know of a non-electric diy rocking mechanism that can be driven by a weight or a spring. it can be a crude version as i am using this for my outdoor hammock. can’t seem to find anything on the internet, but i may be asking incorrectly.
This mechanism only needs to run for a little while driven by the weight or the spring. It would not be a perpetual motion machine. It would be similar to a baby swing that’s wound up or a clock driven by weights.

I know it’s very expensive to redo a deck but I need a simple 150-200 sq ft patio where I can place 2 chairs and a table, maybe a hammock. I really love the outdoor stones but it gets so expensive to build with them, so I wanted to stick to a small budget. Can I use 20in tiles that are normally used for large living rooms or bigger bathrooms for outdoor patio (I can get them at a good price)? If so, what would the process of installing them be and the best stone steal to use?

I’m a biker that travels a LOT. I’m trying to find a hammock that folds up small enough not to take up too much room yet have something to keep the bugs away. I don’t want to use my paracord but it might be unavoidable. Does anyone have any experience on the matter?

"I looked at Thomas, who was laying down on the beaten hammock, folding his arms behind his head. He sighed, and then spoke, which was indeed something rare, "If you want to hear some elaborate story like Keir has, or a heart wrenching one like Marguerite has then your only going to be disappointed." The dull features of the cabin rocked slightly as the sea pounded against the ship. I didn’t say anything, forcing him to continue his back-story. "My life was simple as can be. I was born to a very poor, and very big family. We had absolutely nothing. But we were content. As bad as things got, I’d always tell myself things would be okay, and they were, until this very harsh winter came one year. I lost four of my siblings that year, two of them were infants. Mama told me that the angels were needing them in Heaven, but I knew they died because we didn’t have enough food… or water, or clothes, or anything." He stopped talking, and I could see his young eyes glossed over with tears. "I ran away, because I knew that if I was gone, my family would have one less mouth to feed. They’d have more hope for survival."

This is a part in my story, towards the middle. Thomas, an eight year-old boy, tells Faline, a runaway-princess, who’s recently turned pirate, his back-story.

I’m in ninth grade, so please don’t expect anything professional!

First of all. It is not a bed per say. I remember it from my childhood but I don’t remember what it is called. The bed is sort of like a hammock. The part where you lay down is similar but it does not swing like a hammock. The bed/hammock I remember was much lower to the ground and was held up by four small poles on each of the corners so that it would not swing. There was no mattress and like a hammock it was more like a couch length sized piece of cloth tightly attached to the four poles and the sides. I remember that it was also portable as you could fold it in half and take it wherever you wanted to sleep. And like I said the bed/hammock had the length of a normal sofa/couch. I tried being as specific as possible but that is all I know. Thank you for taking the time to reading this and I hope that the answer is obvious to you because I don’t know it haha. I hope I get the right answer because it’s really killing me that I don’t remember what this darn thing is called!

Homemade Nimblewill style stove of 26 gauge steel. I sized it down a tiny bit from the online templates (www.thru-hiker.com lewill_stove.php) so that it can better fit a Snow Peak 700. It worked on its first use, but not as well as it might have. I think it was the lack of draft at the bottom. I may make a new bottom with holes and see how that works. Notice too the high quality 9-year-old’s cinematography. Notice as well my Mora Bushcraft Triflex in a cameo role as The Firestarter. I should add that the whole thing including the little tyvek envelope I made for it comes in at just under 3oz (that is less than a Nalgene bottle). It is a bit rickity, but it held up a full Snow Peak 1400 with no problems.

In which we set up the Dual Tripod Hammock Stand, using four poles that are six feet long, and two poles that are eight feet long.
