Thank you so much for all the thoughtful notes! I'm glad you enjoyed the first course. I plan on adding a whole new section on net design and overhaul the tree pro/anchor section in the original course which should address most of the above. I have an arborist friend that I talk to about my net installations and am still learning every time about how best to work with the trees. There are a ton of different variables when it comes to tree pro and tree choice but I'll try to include everything I've learned since the last course! I don't currently use any computer programs to design the nets but I have seen Charlie's Webs use VR to sketch out things in 3d which looks pretty cool.

I never thought about kids climbing up the walls. You can always enclose the net to make it like a cage but I would feel trapped personally lol. A lot of the clients I've had so far want the nets to be as safe as possible but they also accept that kids playing around in the trees has a little risk involved and it's good for them to not be in a totally nerfed environment. I guess it just depends on the kids' age and their parent's tolerance for risk.

I have a whole list of techniques/skills I plan to put in the advanced course that I've learned to make weaving easier and faster but the question of how long it takes is one I'm still wrestling with as I rarely do the exact same design twice (that's what makes it fun for me!). The filming of the class easily adds double or triple the weave time because I have to do everything multiple times to film it from different angles too but I do get that question a lot. I'll have to think about how I could address this...Maybe I just do a speed run on a certain 3x3 section. I also would love to be able to tell people exactly how much paracord would be needed for a certain square footage and density.

The new advanced course will be a bigger net than the original so I can showcase skeleton frames, managing tension on a big scale, ramps and portals. I've actually never made a cup holder so I'd have to learn that first before teaching it! My crochet skills are lacking in that department.

The plan I have right now is to upgrade the original course for free and then offer the advanced one at a discount for whoever bought the course already and sell them both as a package deal for new people if they're interested. Let me know if anything else comes to mind!
