we'd love to eventually invest in a better camera setup, rather than just our cell phones. Hopefully the next time it's worth doing an update video, we'll have better tech!

welcome! Hoping to see you at one of our campsites sometime soon :)

@@FourthMoonCamp would love it!

@@JayCWhiteCloud definitely a great season! Hope to see you soon!

@@davidhaynes3202 there's advantages either way, for sure. I've been in twenty year old nets that were built both ways, and they age differently and require different upkeep. Heck, I've visited nets that are straight through bolted multiple times in the tree and honestly, those seem to hold up the best.

you're 100% right. You're supposed to select healthy hardwood and cut it off sometime in the fall. We didn't learn that until after this video, but funny enough, we've had oyster and chicken growing this fall! It's highly doubtful it's from our efforts, since it's been such a short amount of time, but we'll take it as a sign to keep the efforts up!

A fantastic entrance way to a special camp.

yep! We couldn't really afford to buy everything for the purpose, so most things are repurposed random crap, now in a tree. Might need to update the title.

you should check out treenet collective's work. Their stuff is top notch coordination.

I'm so sorry, we're only at 1000w in the yurts. But the yurts are now paired with a converted luxury school bus that has full power! It's called the HippyBilly Hangout, in which the bus is your kitchen, living room, bathroom, etc. And the yurts serve as bedrooms!

the most common method is cutting away the old parts that no longer work, and filling in the gaps with newer material. We primarily use old ropes/cordage to begin with, so we are usually looking to give ropes a second life before they are truly retired.

great idea!

truly. a life changing way to use old rope.

thanks for the heads up, looks like we gotta get those out of there and replace them with stainless!

Thank you! Hope you enjoy the updates we add in over time.

Thank you! Cheers!

Slackliners are certainly the most active treenet builders right now. So linking into slackline groups/meetups is a sure way to meet similar thinkers. I know reddit has a treenet subreddit too, that is a fun place to bounce ideas off others remotely. There's also a new-ish company called Treenet Collective, that works to increase treenet info accessibility. You can certainly visit us and Moonshine too! We offer day tours and overnight camping in the net; allowing you a ton of time to see up close how it has been built (and evolved)!

@FourthMoonCamp thank you for the information, that sounds amazing! I can't wait to see more.

🎉🎉🎉🎉

Can't wait for you to visit!

all sorts. exclusively static rope for structural and infrastructural components; 5mm to 14mm for those parts. Then paracord and other small cordage for comfort and substructure. Also flat webbing for woven flooring and dynamic climbing rope for walls and artsy installations. There's even 1.25" 12-strand amsteel in there; MBS 110,000lbs. We'll use anything we can, if it's robust enough to last a few years before we have to fix it up.

This was originally spliced by two slackliners for their cargo van that they were living in. They used it for all of their bedding, pillows, blankets, etc... above their bed in the van. They made it strong enough that when they were on the road, they could take it out of their van and use it as a spacenet on the go, even being used for highline spacenets potentially. When they moved out of the van, the net was retired here as an artistic installation. It is 44 rows by 44 columns, meaning it has at least 2000 splices. But actually much more because of how it ended up being built and reinforcement of the perimeter.

@@FourthMoonCamp Love it, have you looked up how strong Vectran is? This might be slight overkill for some bedding. 😂

@@WildGooseChase oh for sure, it's way overkill. Wade has a bit of an irrational love for vectran, haha.

@@FourthMoonCamp I totally get it!

there's a whole bunch invested in this creation over the years. many people continue to contribute to it today. It takes a new form constantly!

This is the company I've bought nearly all of mine from: www.industrialhwe.com/ I use their ultra convenient ebay store, indushardwareco

thank you so much! come on out some time to see it in person!

Dziękuję

yes! I definitely will record this week! Sorry for such a delay!!!!

Coming soon!

Check out Yokum's Stables if you're ever in town!

Awesome to hear! Looking forward to YOUR tour video in a couple years :D

We use 3/8" stainless. 4" deep. Been working great for the past few years.

come on by sometime and check it out!

thanks! just made some bacon and ramp pesto pizza yesterday. TASTY!

HOLY COW! Cannot believe you mentioned the cougars. WE SAW ONE A FEW MONTHS AGO!!!! Thank you so much for your recollections... This is such a special place, and we're so happy to have a chance to share it!

@@FourthMoonCamp I sent an email. Let me know if I can be of any help...Blessings, j

Couldn't recommend the process more. It's never done, but always a creation none the less.

dang, honestly never actually thought about that... There's at least 300 stainless eye bolts; at $4 each, that's a conservative $1k in the main anchoring system. I don't even know how to estimate the rope and cordage at this point. There's no less than a dozen old 60m climbing ropes, another dozen or so of 70m retired ropes. Something like 300m of the 5/8" HTP perimeter rope, another 2000m or so, of static ropes btw 8mm and 11mm. Another 500m of old accessory cord maybe? Then there's something like 10-15, 1km spools of paracord, plus another 20-ish 100-yard spools of paracord. I'd guess something like 500m of decorative ropes for random things. Maybe another 1km of retired slackline/highline webbing... definitely lost count on those retired rigs. Then there's all sorts of other stuff, likes the swings, lyra, silks, etc. and all the hardware and equipment to permarig it. Slings, carabiners, hammocks, shelves, blah blah blah. Plus, this video doesn't even have any of the highlines rigged yet. Part three will be a yet fuller tour, with the highlines rigged off of the net. Those highline setups are like $4k, but rigged in a wayyyyy overdone way because of being a permarig. Even the tapes are deluxe. All that's to say, that's not even everything. Like the silly ripstik or custom made signage. If I had to guess, we're around maybe $40k in materials? I'd prefer to not think about how much my time would cost in labor hours 😂

@@FourthMoonCampyou and your tree are an inspiration! I hope to have land and trees one day to build my own. Thank you for the price breakdown, and I think your methods will be the ones I use

@@georgeofthesea Awesome to hear! Check out 'Treenet Collective' too, if you get a chance. They also offer an online classroom for learning treenet weaving. They travel the world building them and are good friends! Definitely different from Moonshine, but it's good to have several methods in your toolbox.

🤘🤘 Best part is, it only grows over time!

thanks! not really sure what our "lane" is, but we're gonna keep on truckin'!

ok!

😂😂😂😂

heck yea! Send us a message on instagram sometime :)

@@FourthMoonCamp I totally will if I'm ever in the area

aw shucks, thanks! I hope you get to visit one day!

More to come this summer!

heck yea! We've got some strange projects coming up.

thank you! part two comes out tomorrow!

Thank you! Truly a labor of love and time. Come visit us sometime!
