If you are using the ResMed Air Mini 12VDC converter, which is 12VDC cigarette style plug to the Air Mini plug, it should only be pulling 65W of power or 5.4 A - well within the capabilities of the...

This is from Renogy's website about the 266 power bank:

I know the AC adapter for the mini puts out 24VDC to the mini, so that may be the issue.

For those who weren't there in March, the nexus for getting this topic going was an encounter with a homeless mother & adult son couple that were camped at Yates right in our area in which the mother...

Slept in my Haven Safari this past weekend using the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Topo Luxe XL pad in place of the OEM Haven pad. The Therm-a-Rest pad fit the hammock perfectly and performed outstanding! I...

I just came back from 4 days in the woods using Bill's BGBH. Easy to solve the ridgeline issue...just take the ridgeline off each 'biner and once you flip the hammock, put the ridgeline back on the...

We miss seeing you here. You & your better half were mentioned this weekend about past hangs. But it was wet & muddy so you didn’t need any of that.

Purdy Boil contest in the books. I’ll update when I return home!

Fire is going, blue tarp is up, hangers are starting to arrive. Come on to Yates everyone!

Brought Gorilla tape with me & taped it up. Good enough for this weekend at least.

Never tried it....but just out of curiosity, why?

Without looking at the hammock in my hands, the pole attachment points would be in the same place, ends would be ok, only the storage pockets...

The only cost for any food I cook & offer to everyone is a smile and a thanks! No donations accepted and if they are pressed into my hands it gets transferred to Phantom towards the firewood.

As an FYI, I'll be making up a big batch of Fajitas Texanas for dinner Saturday night on the flat griddle and everyone is invited to grab some until it is gone (that is after I get my share first!) :)

A little damp for the weekend, but I'll be there with a popup and rain gear! And this is the best weather for mid-day hammock studies!

Testing out my new alcohol stove for the contest....

I'll be using my Haven Safari hammock again this hang with a slight modification this time around. I tried it at a hang before but the stock Haven pad, which is the main structure feature of the flat...

I would vote for moving to a paid group site, although I must admit my vote would be void as this is likely my last Yates Place visit. I'm moving to Maryland this summer to be closer to my daughters...

Early? :scared:

There is plenty to explore in this forum as to types of hammocks. For us "big guys" I prefer using Bill Towsend's BGBH or Big Guys Bridge Hammock, although there are several other different makes of...

I'll be there as usual. Will have a pop-up with me and a 2-burner stove available for anyone to use with plenty of fuel.

Quarantine ended Tuesday morning and I'm on mask until Saturday. I was going to try to make a go of it this afternoon for the rest of the weekend even having to wear a mask & "social distance", but...

Testing the alt code from my desktop - °


worked!

As in type up post in Word, then cut/paste post into the forum?

Yeah. Symptoms started last night, so 10 days of isolation would take me to next Saturday...right in the middle of the hang. Will see what the doc says. Don't want to infect any one of you fine...

FML! Just found out this morning I tested positive for COVID-19. Felt like hammered dog shart since last night & took a test this morning. Go to the doc tomorrow morning to confirm it & see what my...

This is one group hand everyone gravitates towards 2x a year (the time-change weekend in the Spring & Fall). Great people, loads of forest to space out the hammocks, tall tales told around the...

Great to see you're still innovating Bill! And wait, a bug net with a floor & zipper????? Would that fit my BGBH?

Just pokin' a stick at this thread. It's almost been a month since anyone has posted here! Not going to use the hot tent for the Fall hang. Temperatures are usually warmer than the Spring hangs...

This is a great group hang for your 1st! Very laid back & relaxing. A lot of attendees have years & years of hanging experience and it's a good opportunity to see different hammocks, tarps and...

Didn't happen without pictures!

Sweet Jesus..it's posted! Of course I'll be there. Will bring a pop-up canopy to help keep people dry in case of rain. And will take full advantage of an extra hour of hammock study time Saturday...

I had some of them figured out on my newer BGBH and this clears it up and makes sense for the rest of them. Thanks Bill!

And just like that I'm out.

Remember that scene in The Godfather when the movie producer wakes up in bed covered in blood? That was me yesterday, though not quite that bad. My surgery site from...

I can do that rock hopping. John Rock is still a go! A very slow, heavy breathing stroll up the hill...but still a go!

I hope it's been replaced. I don't know if my legs & lungs will allow me to take the Phantom Grappler alternate approach to the camp! :)

Good. Best purchase I've made to help support keeping me on a CPAP while hanging!

You know I'll be there. I always look forward to this hang! Beautiful spot for hammock hanging.

The battery I mentioned is in stock right now as of today: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0791WDZTW?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Yep - this thing gives you all the privacy you could possibly want with plenty of room.

Yes - that is the one I purchased. And while I do prefer the open tarps for warm weather, the ends on this one open & tie back to allow enough airflow through the tent if it ends up being warmer than...

Welcome back!

"Pricey" is a major understatement - but I guess if you're in the desert you gotta do what you gotta do. Good luck with the stand!

No. Just bought it a month ago. Used it for the first time at the Yates Place hang a couple weeks ago. It's actually $30 cheaper now than when I bought it 2/8.

I now use my Dreamstation 2 with this battery: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0791WDZTW?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details with the 12vdc power cord for the machine. I just turn the humidifier &...

Bill's Big Guy Bridge Hammock in use this past weekend at Yates Place in NC inside a OneTigris hot tent (no stove).

I started a "Trip Report" thread over on Trip Reports for the hang.

Back home Saturday night to avoid the wet pack up Sunday. As usual another fun Yates Place hang. Great to see surprise guests Gunner & the Terminator who stopped by for a few hours to visit and see...

Burn is done and there is plenty of trees for everyone! Come on out!
