I have thought about soaking a liner in permethrin and using that, but it would weigh as much as the bugnet and take up as much space.

I have thought about soaking a liner in permethrin and using that, but it would weigh as much as the bugnet and take up as much space.

Ah, got it. Thanks!
What is a HUG? Is that a Dutchware thing?
I will be riding my bike through the Rockies from Banff Alberta to the Mexican border. In areas with mosquitoes they tend to be extreme. The areas with...
I’m looking for a minimalist hammock setup for bikepacking the Great Divide. I will have to bring a tent as my main shelter. Bringing my usual lightweight hammock and bugnet is still too bulky/...
Very nice!
I made two Nalgene cozies out of reflectex. I fill my bottles with 1" or less of ambient temp water, and the rest with boiling water, I put one between my legs and the other at my feet or at my side-...
Hmm, well I clicked on the "Full Screen" icon, now I see... Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Here's a rambling video with a bit of a ranting review of my Outdoor Vitals hammock set up and then plenty of footage of Henderson Lake during fall foliage.

Sweet! Wish I could visit this place!
I enjoyed the video! Would love to see it on full screen which it will not do for some reason?
Love the pics!
An overnight hammock camping and paddling in the Adirondacks.

Yessir! You know my first hammock set up came from a newish company that apparently has poor quality control. I got some good stuff and some that was clearly defective. When dealing with their...
Thanks for checking it out! The videos are improving as I go.
Thanks for the encouragement!
I'm working on making better videos.
This is a bit from a recent trip at Moose Pond in the Adirondacks. Coldest temp got down to -5F. When I say it is 5F degrees, it was actually -5F. I think my brain got a little frozen on this trip! I...
Thanks for working this out Brandon! I am loving my Warbonnet set up!
Okay, so I just want too give an update. Brandon sent a new UQP and I have used it with no issues. I did leave my UQ hanging with a little slack on the elastic band connector - which made me a bit...
Part 3 of our trip through La Verendrye.

It seems to me that a little more flexibility need to be included in the design. That zipper area is pretty tight down at the end. Hmmm?
Again I would like to stress that this hammock is very...
I would agree, but I did close both knobs inside. However, I did forget the rubber band that was included and used a piece of shock chord with a prussic knot to attach my wookie to the CL. I may have...
Interesting background on Speer. I was not aware of his adventures. Right up my alley!
Anyway, yeah, I think zippers are a real weak point. They worry me- especially on the new ULA pack I just got....
Eek! that is not good to hear. Well I will say that the hammock is excellent and super comfortable other than the UQP blowing out. Brandon just let me know that he is really trying to figure this...
Would you be able to post a pic? I put a piece of shock chord on my CL to hold the whipping, but maybe I need to use a longer piece? The way I have it now the whipping is pretty much directly under...
Of coarse I would prefer that none of us have had this experience, but I am glad to know that I am not the only one. Thanks for letting my know! Did they figure out why it happened?
Your'e got it, that was my set up. I had installed the wookie UQ.Hmmm, I wonder if the UQ somehow put pressure on the zipper end?
No senior moment, just poor description on my part I guess.
The end of the zipper- basically the stop popped off, with maybe a few teeth. The fabric beneath it appears torn- as if I took a pair of...
Yes, it was all set up properly and the hang was perfect. It is bewildering to me.
I just took my WB Blackbird XLC out for its first hang (not counting setting it up at home to make sure everything was clear before going out into the back country).
I was very excited! For once I...
Pharaoh Lake is a great spot for swimming, but the fish are just as carnivorous as the bugs! I received a bloody nipple and my wife a bloody belly button from large red breasted sunfish at site #6....
Sweet! What great views!
Great photos! I hope I get to make out to your part of the world some day!
Here is my second TR video. I got about three or four videos in before realizing I had to change the way I shot to get widescreen.

Back country canoe tripping sometimes with no good tent site options, new Adirondack sites have sloped tent sites, waking up in puddles in designated tent spots, and finding Shug's videos.
Here is my first TR video. I eventually figured out what I need to do to get widescreen a few TR's later!
Hope you enjoy!

Yeah, WB Ridgerunner was at the top of my radar, but I am learning more towards the Chameleon for its versatility. I like being able to switch my lay to the other side in a symmetrical hammock. I am...
Mine means beaver in Mohawk. My great grandmother was Mohawk from Northern NY. I am a pack canoe camper and spend a lot of amphibious time in the Adirondacks.
Shug! and the idea that I could stop anywhere on a remote paddle and hang a hammock without having to find an open flat spot for a tent.
Hey there! I finally caved in and joined the forum after watching all of Shug's videos and hanging in various hammocks for a little over a year. I do not have much time to be on forums, but I know...
