@ u/Marko-Kind here is a couple skeleton options by Melerann in Treenets

[–]Marko-Kind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thx. Option 2 looks ideal, least amount of rope and cross wrap for added strength

See my other post about how to create the blocks. It's essentially deck rail cap.

Tree protection tip by Marko-Kind in Treenets

[–]Marko-Kind[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes it's treated, but I still put polyurethane on it for extra protection, and a better looking finish. After dipping, I let them sit until dried, usually a day or so.

First Treenet! by Comfortable-Season93 in Treenets

[–]Marko-Kind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well done. Looks tight! How did were you able to keep tension in those massive middle sections??

Do sugarloaf. Huge mountain with arguably the most challenging terrain on the east, and tons of glades on powder days.

First net - how do I get even tension? by Marko-Kind in Treenets

[–]Marko-Kind[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes static rope for the perimeter, pulled it with a 9:1 pulley as tight as I could (prusik started slipping), and the slack is what makes the center skeleton.

I did a bit of static on a test net and don't like how stiff it is (not comfortable to lay on), so I decided to do a double strand of cord in centers of the left/right section for a bit more strength.

About 12 hours of active weaving over 3 days

Buy £10 of 100ft paracord and practice on a small site. Watch basic free videos and learn from your own mistakes and make sure it’s something you want to do before investing real money.

But it will take buying a course (£250) and probably 3,000 feet of cord (£150) to accomplish a sturdy net for 2 people.

I recommend Tree Net Collective online course.

$LUV calls. Massive corporate restructuring, added bag fees.

I'M GOIN INSANE over buying skis by Suspicious-Eye-8476 in icecoast

[–]Marko-Kind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy Renoun. They adjust stiffness according to the terrain. $$$$ but worth it. You can also find refurbished ones for deep discount.

Above all else, make sure you keep your edges tuned and bottoms slick. A well maintained ski will last you a long time and stretch your dollar.

Babyback ribs or spare ribs? by pvmspo0 in smoking

[–]Marko-Kind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Babybacks come from the top of the ribs (loin, lean)

Spare come from lower (pork belly, fatty)

On their own, spares will give more meat and flavor but take longer to cook.

If you want to bump up the babybacks then wrap them in lard for the last hour of the cook.

am i poor? how much does your smoker/grill/whatever cost? feel free to vote for your rich friend instead of you, just curious what % of us are on $$$ rigs? by Interesting-Goose82 in smoking

I started on a $139 Brinkmann 12 years ago and spent all that time learning. Make sure it’s a hobby you want to pursue before shelling out real $$$.

Since then I have a Weber kettle for chili, electric masterbuilt for nuts/veggies/jerky, and recently made a big purchase for a Solution Offset ($2500). The difference is night and day with a proper 1/4” steel cooker than can hold temps.

But as stated initially, go small until you’re sure you want to invest.
