Not sure what exactly that is. I thought about that mesh like the millennium seats. That would give it some rigidity and help with comfort. Just not sure where to purchase.DaveT1963 said:Have you thought about sports netting for the material? Lightweight, string and allows air to flow... also dries fast so you can wash it
Basically the same as my modified sitdrag but with polyester webbing and #69 bonded nylon thread. Still have the belt to add with aluminum cobra buckle.g2outdoors said:Nicely done. Specs? Materials? Process?

Me too. But it would have to be WAY LIGHTER and smaller than my aeroDaveT1963 said:I had a net maker make me a seat for my hammock seat and I wouldn't trade it for hunting. Completely dead quiet, can be dyed to color, lightweight, incredible strong and resists mildew and rot. I am not sure it will do much past what you already have. I sure wish I had the gift and desire to sew my own - just can't get into it. I am still hoping the new tribe guys come out with a minimalist saddle. I would sigh any waiver they want just to have them stitch it up
I've been looking at DIY hammocks and actually ordered my material to make one. I also have an idea for using the Alpine BOD harness that attaches to a mini hammock at your hips. Just a little slack between the hammock saddle and the harness so that you wear the harness with no pressure on it and your hammock saddle works just like the sitdrag with the belt being the BOD harness but in the case you fall, the BOD harness holds your weight instead of the saddle belt sliding up your gut. The saddle and harness are connected to your bridge. May not work out the way I'm thinking once I get into building it, but its a plan.DaveT1963 said:I had a net maker make me a seat for my hammock seat and I wouldn't trade it for hunting.

That's sorta how I tried to use the sit drag. With the rock harness and with other harnessesswampsnyper said:I've been looking at DIY hammocks and actually ordered my material to make one.

Just remembered I got some of that stuff from when I lined the inside of my gillie suit.redsquirrel said:http://www.rockywoods.com/Fabrics-Kits/Mil-Spec-Fabrics-Hardware/Mil-Spec-Heavyweight-Mesh-Fabric
My custom saddle that I've been working on is built with this mesh. Its very quiet and I'm happy with it for the purpose. Just need to get the whole saddle part worked out lol.

Definitely let us know how that material works out.swampsnyper said:I ordered that vinyl coated polyester mesh. It won't hold any water and its stiffer. I want some stiffness to the material for support.
