DIY Hammock Mount for your Vehicle! *Experts Only* - Kootek Hammock GIVEAWAY!

[@owenparker6651]

Great idea and well executed. Instead of sanding the weld seam from the inside of the 1" pipe, I'd add a little groove to the outside of the 3/4" so it would fit nicely since it would be so much easier and not require an additional tool. Just a thought. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas. Always interesting to see...

[@PatrickRemington]

You are welcome! Thank you for your support! Yes, you could do that as well. I Should have mentioned that!!

[@PlmbrProtctsTheNtion]

Looks like a great spot for a small grill base also. Table on one support for prep, and grill table on the other. I’ll probably be building this one next weekend! Great job Patrick, and thanks for sharing!!

[@RhysOrwin]

This is incredibly impressive. So many smart little adaptations like the rings. I'm blown away.

[@PatrickRemington]

Thank you! much more to come!

[@justarando]

Duuuuuuuude!!! This is my favorite project ever. Definitely building one for my rig. Super badass ideas for the adjustable tire mount and accessories. Your channel is pure gold.

[@Nathan-wf3fr]

Absolutely brilliant. The stool and table are superb ideas. I’m inspired and thinking of duplicating your build and making two opposing stools and using my slide out drawer as table. Hitch dinette. Looking forward to the carrier build next. Thanks for sharing and teaching.

[@PatrickRemington]

Thank you! Yes, I also thought it would be thought cool to have a slide out table for the stool.

[@TK8286]

I love this series. I’ve been hammock camping for years. I was thinking about how to build a hitch mounted one of these since I first saw a wheel mount. Then I realized other people have designed them, just like you did. I had been hung up on how I wanted to make the arms break down. Seeing your build really helps. I had the idea of the stopper rings, but I wasn’t sure if they would work like I hoped it would. You have prototyped it for us. The use of the threaded pipe is brilliant, because you can buy short lengths and readily get your hands on them. I hope to eventually build version of your rooftop tent also. Keep up the series a Videos. There’s a whole lot of us out here that need the inspiration to build gear cost half or a third of what the retail versions are.

[@PatrickRemington]

Thank you! yes, much more to come! Glad you are enjoying the channel!

[@Ade2bee]

Just come across your channel now and it’s amazing, the way of hanging it from the wheel of the vehicle is genius

[@rolandwimpey]

This is awesome! I've been just looking into doing something like this. Love hammock camping and I don't always end up where I can setup in trees. Thank you for sharing your talents and ideas on these!

[@PatrickRemington]

You are welcome! thanks for the support! 🙏🙏

[@WLAlan]

Well done Patrick! Working my way through your builds and enjoying every one! Keep up the good work and I’ll keep up watching 🥳 Thanks for the videos.

[@jrmorgan1212]

This is an impressive video. These hammock builds are very practical and well done. I have built my version of your wedge tent and bat wing awning and am very happy with them. I haven’t welded in 25 years and don’t own one currently but you’re giving me the itch to get one so I can give these type of projects a try.

[@PatrickRemington]

Thanks you! Glad you are enjoying the projects. Yeah 25 years is way too long! New machines make it way easier that it used to be! Get a yeswelder!

[@joefoster259]

You might be able to adapt this to a weldless design.

[@eugenioguerra5958]

Good job Patrick. Very ingenious and practical. I was thinking about a stove or grill base, but already I get people commented on that. I like it. Thanks for sharing

[@jhjspecks]

Really like the set up. Not only for camping, but we do travel ball and the chairs or ground is not always the best place to rest.

[@dkironworks4037]

Love it, hope to have a truck in a few months, this would be an excellent addition. Glad to find this channel. My greatest frustration with hammock camping was finding a place to hang it at most camp grounds. You can also soak galvanized parts in vinegar or an acid bath to help remove it as well.

[@snicklefritzd3612]

Yep, built one myself last year...used it on a cross country road trip. Great way to see a sunrise or sunset.

[@PatrickRemington]

Nice!

[@briankane8523]

Always love designing something so innovative then finding one online for cheaper….great idea and build.

[@russellcollier1599]

Damn it! Now I have to build one. Hammock ordered. Ugh. Thanks for the great work and ideas.

[@elmo4vt1]

Very cool! I was just thinking about buying instead of building my mount.... I think this has pushed me back into the building camp this winter. Like the accessories as well. Great job.

[@brandon84107]

Congrats on the 70k mark, well deserved!

[@PatrickRemington]

Thanks man!

[@freepilot7732]

33:11 be e able to rotate the table arm 180 closer to the seat. Presto an eating area.

[@Lexon19]

Great video! Very well explained. I'm not a welder, so I'm curious if you had an idea for design that didn't require welding. Not as customizable, but could be a cool alternative.

[@PatrickRemington]

Thank you! I'll be thinking about it! I'm sure there is a way

[@RamChickPig]

Can't wait for the hammock mount for the rack carrier. Thx for the video.

[@doyou3914]

I just found your channel. Nice job on the hammock mount. I made my own hitch mounted hammock stand out of a couple old trampoline frames. it was essentially "scrap steel". I've heard it called "upcycling" when you recycle items and change their original purpose to suit your new goal. As luck would have it the leg post from one frame was a perfect fit into the other frames leg post. I used the larger diameter pipe all the way up as my hammock support legs. I cut the smaller diameter pipe into pieces and plug welded them into the larger pipe through holes I drilled into the bottom of the larger diameter pipes. This allows the pipes to butt together snugly and I didn't need the "rings" you welded onto your legs. Liked and subscribed...

[@PatrickRemington]

Nice! That’s a great idea!

[@kl3vr]

Really great ideas! I had started making a freestanding folding hammock stand to use under my awning, but the tire mounted version would be perfect and much lighter. thanks for the inspiration!

[@PatrickRemington]

My rooftop hammock mount works on the ground.. not sure if you saw that video

[@MonkeyMikeOutdoors]

I think thats the same brand hammock I won at my last job! Very nice mount brother!

[@danperlea5034]

This is one of the coolest builds I’ve seen, mostly because I’ve been wanting to do something exactly like this and you just gave me the motivation. I have all the tools, now just need to do it! Congrats, and thank you!

[@PatrickRemington]

Thank you!! I really appreciate it!

[@mattrodgers7354]

I'm getting everything ready to build the 270 awning off ur design excellent content

[@KevinDrewlo]

Looks awesome! The extra thing would be a way to hang a tarp over your hammock for inclement weather.

[@PatrickRemington]

I like that idea! Thank you!

[@utilityart]

Might have to steal that idea for the tire mount. I have too much going on in the back of my runner to have a hammock back there.

[@AndrewPowerTower]

Entered the giveaway, but I'm confident I could build this if I don't win. Congrats on 70k!

[@PatrickRemington]

Heck yeah! The next mount is easier to build..

[@linaassad5848]

I was thinking of this from long time, amazing thank you so much 🤩

[@PatrickRemington]

Welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@rolandojrdelgado1886]

Your ideas makes me follow your channel! Thanks for the ideas, I always prefer DIY too

[@PatrickRemington]

welcome! Thanks for joining up!

[@chiphill4856]

I like the channel! I have a 2002 Land Cruiser that can use several of your designs!

[@markstang7080]

Looks great! I know you set the arms at 140 deg. side to side, but what's the angle off vertical from the back of the vehicle?

[@PatrickRemington]

About 115 or 65 depending on how you are looking at it

[@johnsaucerhunter]

Very ingenious idea.BTW... those tables look like they'll survive the Apocalypse !

[@robertstoyles]

Right now I'm working on a trailer/wagon build to haul my kayak and camping gear behind my mountain bike

[@marvinpenick3859]

thanks for the great videos. I made your canopy for my minivan build wish I could post a pic Thanks

[@PatrickRemington]

Welcome! Glad you are enjoying the channel!

[@Vik_ter]

I love your builds. Im definately copying this one, if you dont mind. Keep your videos coming. Thanks for what you do.

[@PatrickRemington]

You are welcome and thank you!! 🙏 All my builds are meant to copy!

[@icey5white]

That stool and table would really change my life. The only thing i could think that would make it better would be if the table could swivel closer to the stool and you could write on it like a desk or possible eat on it . Maybe a longer table ?

[@FrancisRoy]

Creative and brilliant. Awesome work ! I’ve just started to learn flux core welding and those projects are really inspiring me.

[@PatrickRemington]

Thank you! That's awesome! I wish I had learned it much sooner than I did. Welding is something I really want to promote on my channel.

[@michaelmcgrath7304]

Great video! Unfortunately I now have another project to do. Thanks. 😉 Keep ‘‘em coming.

[@PatrickRemington]

Thank you! I definitely will!

[@tomwalker5514]

What is the wall thickness of those pipes you are using? Great video!

[@garymyers4496]

Great job on all of the items very good job!!!.

[@dmo848]

And again, another reason i gotta learn to weld. Been wanting to just do it now for years.

[@PatrickRemington]

Can’t recommend it enough! When I got started welding I was like, what have I been doing with my life?? Wish I had learned so much earlier!

[@PatrickRemington]

Yeswelder is a great machines for the price

[@dmo848]

@@PatrickRemington they all shot up in price. I was going to buy just a basic stick welder. Now I can't even find a cheap 1

[@alanosborne1947]

Good job,I would love to make my own hanger but I don't have a welder even though I know how to weld. Also here's a tip for removing the inside pipe seam..... use a 3 leg brake cylinder hone! If your subscribers don't know what a hone is well then they shouldn't attempt to make this hanger!! 🤣😂

[@PatrickRemington]

@@alanosborne1947 thanks for the tip but I’m not sure now we’ll that would work. I can see a hone tearing up on something like this. Its good for somewhat smooth surfaces but as it spins it will be violently smashing into that weld seam and bouncing over it. Much better off with some sort of sander

[@joecastaneda6272]

Have you built a hammock chair mount for a hitch? I'm looking for some ideas. All your stuff you build are awesome I especially like your awnings. I'm building myself a roof top tent kayak trailer out of an old 50s truck bed, I'll be pulling it with my 2022 Kia soul. Crazy I know but I commute from Boerne Tx to Austin Tx daily so I had to get rid of my truck to save gas. Incase you were wondering why lol. Thanks again for your cool videos.

[@PatrickRemington]

I haven’t built a hammock chair mount. Glad you are enjoying the builds! Im hoping to build a self supporting awning pretty soon. I was wondering why btw and if you had left me hanging I don’t know what I would have done.. 😂😂

[@PatrickRemington]

Thank you! You definitely should! got more to come! the next one is easier to build

[@BTBLive]

Do you think a thick wall Galv conduit would be strong enough? I see aluminum pipe being used I would think it's stronger than that.

[@PatrickRemington]

No it would not be strong enough

[@DeadriseWoodCrafts]

Patrick did you or can you make plans available for this?

[@itsdoncartagena6485]

Question, whats the weight capacity on this one? The one amazon sells is only 300lbs and planning on using this with 2 person

[@glinand]

30:27 the wheel looks unhappy 😁

[@PatrickRemington]

That’s just the tire flexing a bit.. the wheel isn’t moving

[@David-Tiger]

Fantastic build. Very helpful. Question though, do you have an instructable for it or a list of the materials anywhere?

[@PatrickRemington]

Thank you! I don’t. The reason I make these videos so detailed is so you don’t need any other resource. I give all the measurements in the video

[@robertstoyles]

I built one like that built I had someone that wanted it so I sold now I got one that I can setup anywhere

[@nay20channel]

Wow, great idea, can I use it to modify my car rear bumper?

[@mrbgpati]

Congrats on 70k!

[@PatrickRemington]

Thank you!

[@PAFishandTanks]

Great video 😊 though I would have enjoyed watching you make the tables too 😉.

[@overlandtowater]

No nice I sleep in the back of the suburban in foul weather but man you cant beat hammock camping

[@zlot4hire]

I love the idea of these but I've always been concerned about the weight capacities. I drive an outback with an official tongue weight of 100lbs and I'm closer to 300lbs. Was wondering about wear and tear long term on the vehicles, assuming I could afford one of the kits. I'm assuming the tire route would be more sturdy?

[@PatrickRemington]

What year? I have a 2013 outback and the tongue weight is 200lbs. 2021 outback is 350lbs. I’m not worried about that at all. I personally would not put 300lbs on the tire mount. That’s a lot of force on the strap holding it to the tire.

[@zlot4hire]

@@PatrickRemington it's a 2015

[@cory4152]

I would mount a small vise on there for sure.🙂 great job wonder what the weight rating would be?

[@PatrickRemington]

Thank you! I would say about 300lbs. About 250 for the tire mount. If I got a beefier strap the tire mount could probably do 300 too.

[@twoasoner3602]

This pretty much rocks. I love your projects. QQ, Did you record building those tables? If so, please release them, they are sick.

[@twoasoner3602]

@PatrickRemington. Is this legit?

[@GoneBroke]

My wife and or kids would love one of these. Great build and looks very sturdy. What do you think would be the weight capacity?

[@PatrickRemington]

For the tire mount I wouldn’t go more than 230-250lbs. My wife and I both got in the hammock when in the hitch mounted position. Should have done a clip of that. We are about 310 together

[@GoneBroke]
