Dude, Im WV aswell. I had never heard of Seneca Rocks before your videos. This is such a work of art. You guys have a real masterpiece in just one tree. Been looking to make a tree net and after seeing your two posts, I am 100% sure I wanna craft one this summer. Thank you for a dope tour and inspiration.
I live in Virginia on the border of west Virginia. I was going to make my first full sized tree net "tree house" any recommendations on how to find others who enjoy the hobby around us?
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)!
Where are you purchasing your eye bolts? Wanting to start my first net and collecting supplies. I’ve searched a bit not finding what I need in SS. Thanks!
You said you chose brass eye bolts for asthetics. But since its so much about saftey and the longevity of your tree nets. I just wantes you to be aware that copper and brass will kill trees. Stainless is a good way to go because its safe for the tree and generally wont be eatin away by the tree like raw steel. We had a neighbor that didnt like our trees and his view. So he drove copper and brass nails in a few places around the trunks of the trees and within a year we noticed them dying. By the second year they were dead. I know you just chose a limb which is better than a trunk, but it will ultimately work like cancer into the tree and kill the whole tree. Ya may wanna do your own research because maybe not all trees react the same way. Also I do concrete snd the old timers used to tell me they would toss old copper pennys just inside the perimeter of the concrete forms before pouring concrete. It kept nearby trees from growing under the sidewalk with the roots and pushing the sidewalk up. As well as weeds from growing to. Cool stuff ya got going, be safe😊
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.

Awesome to hear! Looking forward to YOUR tour video in a couple years :D
Found your channel last night at 2am. And now a new video. Life is good

You could put tarps up for shade and to keep rain off you then its like a fabric tree house
great idea!
What a great project, nice to know your channel. I am vietnames
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the updates we add in over time.
Dude that cool af but damn that a lot of money up in that tree
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!
Chopper's have handlebars. It's an aircraft, bird or helicopter.
🐦
Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
More to come this summer!
Definitely want to build one of these now
Couldn't recommend the process more. It's never done, but always a creation none the less.
This whole channel is such an inspiration to me! Thank you

@FourthMoonCamp thank you for the information, that sounds amazing! I can't wait to see more.
Where are you purchasing your eye bolts?
Wanting to start my first net and collecting supplies. I’ve searched a bit not finding what I need in SS. Thanks!
This is the company I've bought nearly all of mine from:

I use their ultra convenient ebay store, indushardwareco

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