Hello all,
Does anyone know if any of the hammock tarp makers are using these newer fabrics. I want to get a new
tarp. A little smaller than my dyneema palace and better coverage than my dyneema...
Another operator TQ OTW. Glad to have you back Mr. Carr:))
Hello,
Decided to have one made.
Thank you all.
Looking for a cuben/DCF fanny pack. Diy is fine. I would
like one that zips on side and not a top zipper.
Thank you.
Thank you all for the replies. I found one.
Sincerely,
Ohoopee
Great. Thank you very much.
I spent the night in the primitive area last night. I usually spend 5 or 6 nights a
month April through December and I usually pick a backcountry site or a Wma. I
was unprepared for crowded...
Hello all,
I lost my double ended stuff sack for my Sparrow. Does anyone have one
to sell before I go to the vendors?
Thank you.
I do enjoy mine when I want a large tarp.
The worst part about summer ending is having to put away my 50's.
I have a couple LL winter TQ's though:). I still have to pull the
trigger on a full length 20 degree UQ.
16 years of Brickhill. I had some buddies that strung hammock across game trail several years ago.
Horse almost dragged them into marsh. Year 2, do not use moss for toilet paper!! Year 6, do not...
That's what I was afraid of. I have been just taking a tent for last 16 years but was hoping I was missing something!! lol.
Can I throw a rope over a limb and loop the end and then tie to the loop?
I go on an Annual Cumberland Island hunt and I have a strategic question.
The location of the campsite has 200 year old huge Oak trees. I haven't tried a hammock there
because the location I...
This was my experience also.
I use both. If I could only have one for both winter and summer it would be
full length. As I get older, 56, I have noticed my extremities get a little
cooler when temps drop into the 30's. I...
I agree with Cmoulder. Only thing that changed for me when switching was
the actual sleeping system and knowledge about different knots and angles for
hanging hammock.
Load your pack so what you might possibly need is readily accessible. Light, rain jacket,
gps, first aid kit for example. Remember to take some mole tape or such for any hotspot
that starts to...
I always have an apex insulation piece, tyvek, dyneema poncho and a small sit pad of some kind.
My plan was always to just use the tools I have and follow "Sydneyhornblower's" general
plan. My...
Mine is similar to this. I have plenty of overlap at bottom.
I picked up some of the longer titanium stakes a couple weeks ago. I read somewhere
he has some red glowire and I picked it up today:)
I am in for 3 please:)
I agree 100%. I drive 5 hours north and head up into the Smokey's for summer months. South GA isn't the place to be swinging in a hammock in July.
Glad you shared, that color combo looks good. I love my LL quilts.
The older I get, the colder I get at night. My summer quilts are shorter but I sleep
much better with a full length quilt in winter. My Operator Habanero 50" is perfect
for spring, summer and...
There are several studies done on fabric color and heat absorption. My understanding is
the darker colors absorb more heat but are cooler because of the absorption. One of
the reasons Bedouin's...
Do what works best for you to enjoy your trip:))). You can fine tune it along the way.
I ordered a replacement part for a well known stove maker 5/16. Still
haven't heard back. I am pretty confident that when I emailed about
it I was told in an auto response it could be two weeks...
Have you considered a hiking pole that will extend longer? I have
found multi-use gear to save me a little money. I was just looking
for the same thing a couple months ago and found some used...
My Camo dcf tarp is so it blends in more. Probably $1500 worth of gear at my
campsite every time I leave. Im not so concerned with other campers as I am
with someone just passing by. Not really...
Dern sure looks like downy goodness!! Someone buy it so I don't keep looking and
start eating some doughnuts so it will fit!!!
I remember now why I went with the split. I had just switched from floorless
shelter to hammocking when I got the DCF. There were some posts about
how the continuous ridgline could cause...
I always use a split also on my DCF. No issues.
One of my first tarps was an Asym Kiss tarp. I had the same issues and below is response I received from builder. I never did get all the cupping out of the tarp and I was using traditional tarp...
I just ordered some of Lawson's UL tent stakes. I have been looking for some of the longer UL's and these
were the only American made ones I could find. They have been out of stock until recently.
I have found that below about 70 at night requires some kind of insulation
under me. I dont need anything on top other than a light sheet but
backside pressed against hammock required something. ...
Buy once cry once. Dream hammock. I bought 4 different cottage hammocks all were good hammocks
Eventually ended with the the more expensive sparrow that I wanted to begin with. May not have...
I leave for 3 day trip at 6am. My new SLD wide sleeve should be here by 9am:(((.
Thank you for the suggestion. Still looking for a few of the Lawson 7" titanium shepherds hook.
Hello,
Im looking for Lawson equipment Shepherd hook stakes.
Thank you.
I just ordered one of SLD’s double pocket wide ones for my WP. This thread reminded me that
I wasn’t happy with my old one.
Type in "snake skins" in advanced search. Mikeim posted about skins for his
Cf tarp.
Just a fyi. One of the brands has little pockets on each end for line mgmt. I can't remember
which one but I think its a two piece and I prefer one piece.
Ga summers too hot! I use a 50 or just sleep on an apex blanket. Really can't imagine venting
a 20 enough to sleep. Still 90 at 11pm July and August.
It also made me remember that my xpac seek outside pack probably was one
of the reasons my pack was so much heavier coming out after the NC storm
a couple weeks ago and a plan for alleviating it...
Thank you for the observations. I remember similar results posted somewhere when
I was researching before my purchase. I had forgotten about using shammy to wipe
down the tarp though!
Thank...
Happy early birthday Shug. Thank you for your vids and advice.
Very well put.
I will add, having both the dyneema tarp with doors and the Dyneema WP, that the WP gives me more options. I camp in all seasons and all weather and the extra protection saves me...
I got mine last week! Nice to have everything off of the ground. Put it to use earlier this week
on a backcountry fly fishing trip. Thank you Papa Smurf.
Up to the top.
