SLD Winter Haven, UGO Winter Dream or WB Superfly?

I ordered a Superfly yesterday morning & tracking shows it should be here Monday, wasn't expecting that kind of turnaround

Smart.

Ya i got CBS this past winter. Diy poncho liner did not do well in 8 degree weather. Lol. Going all out this time around.

I hear that. One of the blessings of being in the lowlands on this side of the Cascades for hammock camping, as I'm sure you know, are the mild wintertime lows. Where I am there are fewer than 100 calendar days per yer with overnight lows below 40F and only about 20 nights with lows below freezing. I camp in places that are colder than that in the winter, of course, but not as cold as where you are. Camping where Shug camps would terrify me -- which is good, because if it didn't it would bankrupt me buying all that gear to, you know, NOT DIE!

Man your in a good spot! Here this past winter its always been under 30's majority of the time and in teens for several weeks. I was not ready for that and after 2 weeks of CBS this year I am spending the cash for good insulation.
Shugs a trooper! Seems he isn't affraid of the below zero camping. Frozen eyebrows lol. He really has his setup dialed in for his area.

Just FYI
I may be doing the poncho liner wring but it was good until low 40's then just didn't seem to help at all. Used a emergency blanket between it and the hammock and helped a but but still wasn't good fir 20 degree weather. I had a DD 4x4 fully enclosed packed with snow on all sides and still got super cold!

That's the nice thing about Warbonnet. Not a lot of selection but has a lot of stuff ready to ship if you need it fast. SLD is the same but asking for a different material only adds a couple of days.

Man i wish ordering a hammock was that way lol. I hear lots get it in 4-7 days from time of order but mine they said will ship by next week friday. To me worth the wait! I love WB!

Thats why i opted for custom order. 2-3 days linger is not bad at all.

I ordered a SLD Winter Haven late this afternoon (Friday) After a quick flurry of back and forth emails between Jared and myself regarding some customizing issues and fabric choices, tie out location etc.. He said that he would start it this evening and likely ship Monday!
Pretty much instant gratification in the world of custom detail gear manufacturing. At no time did I express any need for speed of any kind.
Side note: I chose a 78" spacing for tie outs/pull outs to help to accommodate the ends of the spreader bars on my WBRR hammock.

Ok I ordered! Woohoo!
After many emails with Jared finally settled on his recommendations.
12' strait edge with mid tie outs ! Cant wait! My first SLD purchase. From what I read it might be here before my XLC! 👍 Will post pictures when it arrives.

Best wishes for years of happy camping with your new tarp.

Thanks and same to you!

I am wondering if I should go a heavier weight material.
1.6 silpoly? Anyone have experience with this?
