Being able to setup in areas where a tent would not work was my original motivation for exploring hammocking. On a group trip on of the crew used a...

I avoid line/fabric on line/fabric when I can. Split rings are lightweight with no sharp edges. The cheaper kinds can act like fuses - they will...

Lots of ways to do this, so here is my option for tarps. Easy Grab Cord Ends...

I second the idea of incorporating a split ring if the grosgrain is lightweight and you decide to use a soft shackle.

yes, but i wouldn't use a normal softshackle for this (it is "the wrong tool for the job(tm)"). if you want to keep the same functionality as the...

2mm Lawson cord works very well with Lineloc3 hardware. Not to say Zing-It doesn't, but a less slippery cord may help with your issue. ...

I'm going to guess that you're using a split ridgeline? I use linelocs on one of my tarps but not on the ridgeline. On the ridgeline I have soft...

Thanks to all for the comments, we have very few nights of conditions like this, and it is question of luck and ability to pack the backpack fast...

Wow, those pictures are fantastic! We just got our first snow of the year in the NE, your pictures look so much better than my driveway.

For the line locks (linelocs?), using the slippery half-hitch like Shug suggested works really well. It's easy to do, and quick to take apart. I...

I use a .175 lash it soft shackles/prusik on a CRL that connects to the split rings on a WB superfly. The WB has very lightweight grosgrain, so I...

Another option is to tie a slippery half-hitch on the line lock after setting. Also make sure you are using the right end of the line coming...

That fabric and the landscape… *chef’s kiss *

Thanks for hosting another wonderful Holiday Hang, Tumbleweed! This December hang is part of my holiday tradition and the Sunday snow really got my...

From the NY State Parks website https://parks.ny.gov/camping/things-to-know.aspx : Please do not injure the park trees. NO nails, screws, ropes,...

Ask if their ban on hammocks is policy or law. If they say its the law then ask them for the statute that states you can not use a hammock. If they...

I have a Jungle Survivor, its sized the same as an "Explorer" (meaning "Explorer"= large vs "Expedition"=smaller) and this works:...

I have used Hennessy and ENO's for years and recently bought a Circadian Pro. Love it. Here it is on my Suwannee property which hurricane Idalia...

Yep, after further review! It looks like a crappy weekend for camping. Alas, another time....

Hi LMB, Looks like Valens will be wet and miserable this weekend, yeah, a normal EGL weekend at Valens. I was thinking of maybe venturing a...

You need to join me one of these times tom tom. Always great views up there and winter brings fewer crowds. Didn’t see anything yet but I’ll keep...

Beautiful!

PM inbound.

Any updates/thoughts on the bike ride. I do a lot of bike packing with my hammocks.

Ups and DHL FedEx etc all use a flat rate tier of brokerage charges.. you get hit regardless based on the claimed value of the items from the sender...

Wish I could make that lol that trail is on my todo list

I just hung up the phone with the reservations person at Letchworth. When I asked about hammock camping, she said, "Nope. Not in our park." So...

I will make a more official post in the coming weeks but The Lobo group campsite has been reserved for May 2nd-5th! This group site is fantastic....
