Jeff's Homemade Gear

All-in-One, which serves as a 3.5 oz pack cover, gear hammock, hanging food bag, waterbag, tarp, groundcloth, sleeping bag foot cover, cover for the end of a hammock to protect from the spray that comes under the tarp, etc. It's so versatile that I think it's definitely earned a place in my pack.

UPDATE: JRB now manufactures Jeff's Gear Hammock and Pack Cover!

Hammocks

DownHammock V2

DownHammock Version 2. Olive drab version with 6 oz of 900fp down and no baffles.

Down Hammock Version 1.

WarmHammock Version 2 has 0.8" PrimaLoft insulation and better darts than the first version.
- WarmHammock Version 1 has 2.6" of integrated Primaloft insulation.
Two Layer Hammock holds a foam pad between the layers.
Jeep Hammock. I hung my hammock inside my Wrangler. There's enough room to sleep, but not much more.
The Cinched Hammock copies the Crazy Creek's support channel. Doesn't work so well with stretchy 1.1 oz material.
Kids Hammock, which can double as a gear hammock when I camp alone.
Edison Hammock, a failed attempt to create a shaped footbox.

Hammock Accessories

Half Underquilt cuts weight by using a torso pad for the foot insulation, like the DownHammock, but is adjustable for temps and I can use it on different hammocks.
Blackbishop Sack is really just a stuffsack with a hole in the bottom...it's used about like snakeskins. Pretty convenient.
Zippered SPE Mod puts a zipper on the SPE to put any bag on a pad sleeve like a Big Agnes, but also has SPE wings for use in a hammock.
- My first Segemented Pad Extender (SPE) based on Ed Speer's design.
Kids Underquilt and Top Quilt, which can double as additional insulation for my JRB Nest.
PeaPod Hood. Keeps the PeaPod's Velcro from scratching my neck and face, keeps the warm air in when I move around (no bellows action), and prevents my breath from condensing inside the PeaPod.
HammockSock windblocker, provides 10+°F of warmth and a bit of protection from drifting fog and drizzle. (Versions 1 and 2)
The TravelPod is a more user-friendly version of the Hammock Socks.
Slingshot Tarp Tensioner to prevent Sagging Tarp Syndrome.

And the new and improved Tarp Tensioners Part Deux

Hammock Supports:

Cinch Buckles on a Hennessy Explorer Ultralight
Garda Hitch on HH with No Modifications
Ring Buckle Supports for a webbing support system...quickest setup I've had yet, and more adjustable than ENO slap straps.
Crazy Creek Buckles for a webbing support system.
Tree Huggers. Just straps with loops at the ends.
1" Polypro Hammock Straps (a la Speer-type)
Spectra Hammock Supports
Hammock Tubes (aka HH Snakeskins or JRB Python Skins...some mesh, some silnylon, some untreated nylon.)

Other Gear:

Bushbuddy Stuffsack since they sent a mesh one that wouldn't protect my pack from soot.
Food Bag with a strap on the bottom for hanging it as a bear bag.
Gravity Filter made from an 8L Walmart Dry Bag and a Katadyn Hiker Pro filter.

The above filter replaced the Sawyer Inline Gravity Filter I made because I didn't like the flow rate.

Backpack...basically a copy of the GoLite Breeze. Weighs 6 oz and uses a removable sit pad as the frame.
My Super Ultralight Spoon weighs about ONE GRAM...doesn't even register on my digital scale!
Alcohol Stove kitchen set that weighs 2 oz including stove, Foster's pot, pot stand, ground cover, wind screen and lid. I just need fuel, fuel bottle and cozy for freezer bag cooking.
Nesquik Windscreen functions as a windscreen, ground cover and very stable pot stand.
Fuel Bottles for denatured alcohol weigh about 3/4 oz for a capacity of 12 fl oz or 4 fl oz.
Hand Loops from HH Tree Huggers give me a convenient way to hold my hands up while hiking so they don't swell.
Jardine-style Headnet that I can use while hiking or laying in my hammock.
The Half-Bag / Insulated Pants are a prototype I made to see if insulated pants would be convertible to a half-bag or elephant's foot for sleeping.
Water Bag, 1+ gallon capacity, less than 0.5 oz.
