    I was thinking you needed a place to set your drink just as you mentioned needing a cup holder. Good demo

    @enjoythewildUSA – Not sure of your definition of Sport Nylon but it is the standard 1.9 oz ripstop nylon, used in a lot of outdoor projects like tarps and tents. I got it locally but it is widely available online too. The webbing straps are also sold locally and online. Check your local Wal-Mart, some have it others do not. The straps I used are spares from my boat cover.

    Now all you need is an amazing wilderness movie theater, and you’re all set.

    Oustanding design!!!! A few questions, is the nylon “sport nylon”? Where do you buy the strong, light weight straps? Great great fantastic job! You’ll make the guys at Econo Challenge proud with that.

    @MrBillTroop73 Ha, You are assuming I thought of the hem idea from the start. I was half way through when I realized I should probably do that. Next version (2.0) WILL have two wide hems :) )

    Jim…

    Superb!

    Was thinking, (oh oh, run away!)
    if both hems were big, then it wouldn’t matter which end you put the stick through, which may help if you’re trying to set up camp at dusk, and may give even more options for use?

    Just a thought.

    Excellent demo Jim. The poles were a good size and it looks like the chair fits you well. Thank you for using dead wood for the demo. You have one very beautiful area to explore!

    Great Jim I have to get a sewing machine and make one. Also the background music you have been using is really relaxing enjoyed it.
