Yes, please find it when you get home. I will definitely need pictures to help me decide. I know that since I am using a ULA Circuit I probably wont...

Eventually, hammockers find the hang angle (or hammock end distance) that works for them. A common rule of thumb - more a starting point - is to hang...

So nice to meet you and your son. Thanks for all the info on your hammock stands. I’m excited to get one for motorcycle camping!

I'll offer a video a made on the subject for some help. There are several factors that could cause it. Best and quickest option is a pillow or...

My son and I had a blast. So much fun hanging out with everyone. I'm glad I had a chance to meet many new people. I don't think I'm going to want any...

I have a spare one in 10d. I know the pack cover part is a large or maybe XL. The jacket part is big on me and I wear XL stuff. It has one small,...

OP not talking about using a pad. OP wanted to know if the HH mylar reflective system would work at those temps. For most. It will not.

Why not put the 3 stake out side of the tarp on the leeward side and use the 2 stake out side on the windward side? Or, just flip that middle tie...

That depends on which photo you're looking at. I have, and still do use a few different ones. I have a Tensa Solo that I use when kayaking,...

Lowtech, what pole are you using?

Any chance you would be willing to sell me the two sections that you don’t need? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll take it. Both. Any discount for both? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

There is a lot to say for getting yourself a bottom-entry bugnet and trying as many materials and weights as you wish in relatively cheap and fast...

I'm a side sleeper, and find I can only get really comfortable in an asymmetric. My Blackbird is way easier for me to settle into than my 11' dutch...

+1. That is why I always carry proof of my IQ and a fake Mensa membership card to show them. Believe me, it has worked every time...so far anyways....

Can't believe no one has mentioned Hike the Hudson Valley! Check out the West of the Hudson hikes. You can sort by difficulty and the views :)...

I have a buddy with a haven and he uses a Chill Gorilla tarp with his (12 x 12 I think). It gives him more protected area than the built in tarp,...

Thanks Ibgary for the Kelty Tent pole set up, and I am glad to hear it works. Also, thanks for the great picture! It has everything and is in a...

Got day three available to see now! It was a pleasant paddle even though it was cold. Lots of beautiful cliffs and some bald eagles visited me. ...

For sure. I always use a different tarp with the Haven for more coverage. If you want you can see me using a tarp the same size as a Minifly in...

So, with a miserable of 38 on my Mechanical Aptitude score at induction in the Navy, does it matter which insertion slots are for the legs or top...

Seems to be a valid option for touring in kayaks, 2-piece paddles are 45" and 50", which makes the 'head' end 5-inches higher than the foot...

Welcome to HF, Brawny Tried the Hennessy lashing. Hated it. Never tried the descender rings myself but it works well for many. I used the...

brawny, Welcome to the forum. You and I traveled pretty much the same path. I started with a Hennessy. The first thing I did was abandon the “Knot”,...

I'd been thinking of making a DIY version of the Cricket before finding out about the Tensa4. Here are my sketches describing the components. I may...

That’s a good correction because I thought it was going to weigh 350 lbs. :)

Yes.

I went to Glacier in 2017 on a motorcycle trip. We camped in Fish Creek CG. It was a beautiful spot, and there were several suitable trees to hang...

No matter the temp and how warm it was, I was never comfortable and truly warm in a sleeping bad/pad combo. Only an under quilt brought true warmth...

Keep an eye out here for used UQs they come up fairly often. You may also want to check out Arrowhead Equipments apex underquilts. They're cheaper...

You can take a peek at my Tensa Solo at 3:10 in the video below. Jacksrbetter make UQs specially for...

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll have to read up on the Costco blanket DIY UQ options, and look a bit closer at the cottage vendors offerings as...
