I made a tq and uq and with just a base layer went to 35 and was very warm. But I am also a warm sleeper. Looking to try it lower and see how it works.

I finally got away the end of last week and did the old military rd, broadband loop. The leaves had mostly all dropped but it was still beautiful. Had a light rain the last day but not a downpour...
After mine has been tossed around a little you can't even see the holes anymore. Have heard some say to throw it in the drier with a tennis ball for a short time to both seal them up and fluff it at...

I was finally able to get my new quilts out this last weekend and test them out. I have also made a new 12' 1.1 dl hammock so was trying it out as well. I made a dl so I could use padding and...
Just giving the heads up. I have had an emergency come up and unless I can swing I miracle here I prob will not be able to make it. Working on it though

Was planning on it. Worried if we start making a lot of changes it could mess up those that have made arrangements to accommodate this schedule. We could prob make slight changes if it isn't a...
We are two weeks out but I have a hunting trip Thursday thru Sunday next week so wanted to get this all set up and lined out. Here is what I have.

I plan on getting down fairly early on the 4th and we can stash water at each days stop. We will also park a return vehicle at queen wilimena and any others along the route that need to pull out...
. I set this up so that anyone that can only make a portion can still join us. One other guy is only doing sat and sun and we will have his car waiting for him and the end of the second day. If...
I would like to see this be a yearly hike so hopefully you can make it next year. And the water issue is already well known so we are going to make stashes along the way.
Finally got time to call the forest service and they advised that there is not any problem at all parking a vehicle at horsethief
Just FYI. My wife ordered a dress last month that said it was out of Fl. When it didn't arrive when promised and was then reported to have been delivered to Al. Instead of Ok. We found that it...
I will check and see if multiple day parking is allowed. If so we can drop your vehicle off there.
If no one is coming up from DFW, I think we can make arrangements to pick you up in McAlester. Will have to check and arrange the time table for the most efficient time.
You bet. I think it will be a lot of fun and we might even make it a yearly event. Will be fun seeing what others use and maybe learn some new tricks along the way too.
That's looks good. Will have to make that another trip to take. Looks like this one would be great for just a long weekend excursion.
OK so here is my idea. Nov. 4 thru 10.
Nov 4. Meet up at Talimena State Park. Those that can get there early with me. Take a vehicle to Queen Wilhelmina State Park. Do water/food drops (or...

Just picked up two more at the Cedar Hills Tx. Costco.
Have you seen the smokehouse set up? https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php/84822-My-New-Smokehouse-Outfitter-Winter-Shelter
Not sure if this is what you looking for and he doesn't...
Sorry my phone auto corrected for me. They are called tarp flyz. https://www.dutchwaregear.com/tarp-and-quilt-stuff/. I can have my tarp in and adjusted in just a few minutes. Will come in real...
Didn't get good pics if them I guess. I used 2 Dutch hooks and 1 freeze. And also got the continuous amsteel ridgeline and zing it for the continuous loops from him also.136094
Once i removed the channels I just pulled the sides apart and shook it as best I could. Your right tho, there was still some left in the pieces I cut off of the sides but it wasn't to bad.
135870135871135872As we all know when they make the Costco throws the down is injected into it and then sewn trapping a lot of the down and not allowing it to expand. When I made my TQ I cut a off a...
A walking foot attaches in place of the foot (dah) but it differs from normal feet in that the foot moves back and forth with the feed dogs. 135425
Once attached it pinches the fabric between it...
Well if you would like to join in you are welcome. How long were you planning to be out? Looks like we will either be doing the third week of Oct. Or first week of Nov.
Thanks everyone. Sounds like we are all in the same page when it comes to our "own" made equipment. I did end up inheriting a walking foot from my daughter-in-law (since she wasn't using it) and...

Zig-zag stitches are classifed as stretch stitches and would be used on seams that would be required to actually stretch in length. Straight stitches has worked good for everything I have made...
Rais'n hammock nailed it when he stated that the squares are sewn with the down already in the quilt. When I made my TQ I ripped the long seams leaving just the center seam. I then shook all the...
Thanks and I have to agree with you completely.
Ok so maybe a winter tarp was to ambitious for a 3rd project. But I think even with its flaws it will work great.135325135326
One thing I did change was the tree attachment. I didn't like...
Yes we will avoid primitive season.... Mainly because I will hopefully be participating in it that week.... Lol
+ two, recomended also in the above order.
It will be open to anyone who wants to join in. As it gets closer we will set some what of a schedule and make sure that we have enough water stashed for the number going. I think it will be nice...
135108. When I was sewing up the tie out straps on my winter tarp, the vertical shaft drive gear broke on my Singer fashion mate 257. I replaced the gear and retimed it and had it working until I...
Of course we could do this at any point that has enough room. Queen Wilimena would prob work just as good.
Yes was thinking about starting at Talihina SP because i figure it would be a good rally point and plenty of room to park. Then if we have anyone is joining or leaving along the route it will just...
Sounds like we have quite a few interested and should be fun. I am checking maps and trail info to try and figure out what will work for everyone. The Okla. portion is the hardest part with the...
Ok just had a thought. If we plan this along the Ouachita trail we can plan it over several days and others can join in where they can along the trip. It will require more of schedule but will make...
We hadn't decided yet. Wanted to hit it during fall foliage was our only requirement. I have been to McGee Creek and it is awesome. Hasn't been on Ouachita yet but will be sooner or later. Once...
Thanks, it was 15" from each side for a total of 30". Makes for a nice cross section under your butt to keep the foot box in place on your legs too.
I decided I wanted use of the full length of the original throw so I decided I wanted to put a round end on the bottom and not loose any length sewing up the end. I also did not want all the extra...
Anyone have a preference on where? I have only been to McGee Creek show that way hiking. Have rode the talimena drive many times during fall foliage tho and it is beautiful during that time.
Anyone interested in a trip during the leave change this year? I am open on date and location and figured if anyone is interested we could figure out a time and location to enjoy.

Well I discovered to always double and triple check your design. This is actually the second one I cut out because I failed to double the measurement for the pockets. I made mine 5" deep and only...
So I finally made my first piece (practice before I try my winter tarp). Its been a long time since I had home economics back in Jr. High. 132887132888132889
Hello from Moore, OK. Sounds like we have to same ideas for the use of our hammock systems.
