Re: £13 ebay hammocks, any good???

I always go along the lines that you get what you pay for. I love my hammocks but they aren't cheap. I like the crab and sling method of hanging them so I go with those.

You can buy big bags in most large supermarkets but it's a lot cheaper to visit an Asian supermarket, they sell it in huge sacks, white rice stores better tha...

Re: ever used Kydex?

I have a kydex sheath of my Merc Worx Vorax and on my Böker Tomahook. I also had one on some things I carried in South Africa. Kydex is your best friend if you want to keep it in place.
