Yes, thanks for commensurating and listening to my complaint. Yep, 90-100% humidity this past weekend and Monday. The tent was no problem I think because it was double walled and we didn't notice...
Hi all. We just returned from a long weekend car camping, and experienced an unexpected problem. My daughter and I were doing hammocks under Grand Trunk tarps, easily covering the hammocks. There...
I am in that area. Hotter that heck right now, but I'm a 'maybe'. I'm not a frequent backpacker, but Three palces I went in the last couple years:
* Washington State park near DeSoto - nice...
We hiked up as far as the falls last summer. Carried a pack and only about 15 lbs. man, that was tough on the legs. Up and up and up, no respite. But just beautiful. The wife didn't want to go...
I don't have a hammock with an attached bug net - so I use Eno bug nets for my/my family's hammocks. Things I like:
* net is really loose and allows just about any hammock sleep position or...
Paperjuice: I just realized you may be asking about the GT stock rope kit. If you mean what comes with the hammock, that is just plain rope, no tree strap. The rope is doubled, about 4 feet long like...
Hmmm. That does not sound like it will be worth the hassle. At least it was't expensive.
I made some tree straps out of tubular nylon prior to learning and experiencing the issues with nylon for suspension. I have not used these yet, does anyone have experience using nylon as tree straps...
I have two sets of them and like them (like, not love).
I will preface this saying that I am in a novice stage. There are limitations. Note what you get is two rope suspensions, each comprised...
New guy here with a directly related comment/question. I have a good length of 1" webbing and am thinking "what-if" I did not attempt to sew (particularly hand-sew) but either tie loops at the ends...
I just measured mine laid out on the floor straight from the stuff sack. 116 inches. I'd imagine they gain quite a few inches after being laid in.
Yeah, thanks for the tip SilvrSurfr, at least...
Sorry, yes Grand Trunk Double (no 'nest', but the same idea). Very comfy an roomy.
Yes, Oldpappy - that beak cone is exactly the idea I was thinking. Though, i was concerned ifn' they don't also...
I have a GrandTrunk DN hammock and ENO ProFly tarp that are the same length. Long story, but I was familiar with the ProFly with my Eno DN and so got another. I left for a short trip with the GT...
Yikes!
I'm a complete noob, and I too have been wondering what is a typical comfortable yet safe height. Yeah, the first time I or my wife sat in my hammock, I was pretty concerned about what-if....
Cool, thanks. Yeah, I expect the swingin' will be a good thing when I can settle down and go with the flow. I'm hoping we get some rain to cool it down and to add water to the creeks before next...
Revisiting backpacking, now in my 50s. Working to get family enthused too - we are 20+ year car campers. I like cozy backpack tents and pads, but sometimes get back soreness sleeping more than a...
