    Sorry. I have made a tube from the material and then using one length of webbing stiched it along the the full length with a loop sticking out at each end.

    The bottom loops go ‘ right way along”, is that English for “all the way through”?

    This makes a great chair for the outdoors. However I make my tripod chair with a hammock folded in half. Just as easy to set up and tie with the stick at the bottom. I like the loop idea, I haven’t thought of that to keep the tri pod solid and the stick from slipping, I just sharpen the poles to stake to the ground and my weight drives them just far enough and evenly (if I choose the right spot) I suppose I could use a net hammock to replicate the loops and just pass the two poles through it. ty

    A second skin is a good idea. I have found in the cold you really feel the wind around you.

    I couldn’t quite make out what the material is called (’hyperlast’?). I was also thinking about making a chair like this. My idea was to use two layers, that way you can still use it as a sack/ bag (always handy), mosquitos won’t be able to bite through and you could put insulation in it. I am looking for the strongest, water-repellent, lightest material (that can be stuffed small and dries quickly).

    Cool! I can see that for me this would be very useful on extended camping trips. lightweight and not much to carry on your person.

    He expressed some of his feelings about this project under our video. I just wondered if he had an opinion about this version. Love the extra straps. That will help when you set up the chair on good old Canadian Shield!

    I had the spelling right the first time Ricola.

    sorry Rikola. It’s an herbal cough logenze from Sweden. Works a treat. I thought you had them in the UK too.

    I was saying how much I liked it by placing an order. I Probably couldn’t afford the international shipping. It would probably be more than 10 GBP.
    But hey just for giggles why not find out the costs and let me know? I appreciate the offer. By the by the reason I need it bigger is that I’m bigger than your mate. About 20 stone.
