The econ line has doubled in price over the years.
For me it depends on the wind and if I want to hear it flap around. I mostly tuck them in the tarp
I’ll just rent a cabin
I had a 20 degree premium UG incubator as my first UG. I found it too hot for summer weather and quickly bought a 40 degree UQ for summer temps. I continued to use the 20 UQ for my colder trips. I...
Blame Facebook market place.
Maybe the should take it off the website then?
I have those. They came with my UGQ Bandit if I wanted to attach it to a sleeping pad
Are you going after the quota season? I managed to snag a permit for the weekend after labor day. Starting at the same place, but we are starting from Bubb's creek. I'm planning on tenting though,...
I'm in depending on the weekend.
I have an in reach mini, and it's the best investment I've made for the trail . Two years ago I was section hiking the North County trail and my father in law had a massive heart attack. The family...
If you do Morrison Loop, there is cell coverage if you stay near the campground. I've hung my hammock in the vicinity and was able to use my phone. I might be free the weekend of 4/16-18th.
After reviewing the website I was mistaken. Morrison now allows mountain bikes. That would explain the new additions to the trail system the last few years. ...
The whole minister creek loop "system" is 10 miles, but the northern loop is 6 miles, with the "forks" campsites about midway. When you do Minister Creek, hike the loop counter clockwise. The...
Yeah not a fan of Devon. He basically banned people from the group who didn't hold the same opinion as him over a particular court case.
That's good. Hopefully mail delivery hold ups will be finished by then
[QUOTE=Bobonli;2039804]That’s a 68 liter pack, right?
The main compartment is only 45L. That means if you like to have all your gear IN the pack you are going to need smaller gear or higher fill...
My opinion is if you're going to get a down hood for your quilt, just get a sleeping bag.
Maybe it’s been discontinued?
I live in Western NY, and also do trips throughout the state. If you're planning to use the quilt through three seasons, get the zippered foot box. That way you can open it up and use it as a...
I have the Xenon will tarp. I have the panel pulls on mine, I use the trekking pole pod to make the tarp more spacious. One thing that the Journey has that the Xenon tarp doesn't, is a tieout point...
where about are you in PA? I'm in WNY, area (Buffalo) and always looking to meet new people for adventures. I love going to ANF. I backpack and kayak camp there a lot. With the current...
I have a hard enough time trying to find trees to hang my 12' tarp to, while still maintaining a hang angle for my hammock. I can't imagine how it'd be with a 13'
I only use it when I am in my tent, under my air pad. It's kept my heat bouncing back to me
I would so go, but I have to work that weekend at the Sabres game. They're probably not making the playoffs this year so once April rolls around I'll have more free time. LMK if you have any other...
After watching that video I lost a bit of respect for UGQ. He basically said that after they got a bad review from Darwin (who has a substantial following) they stopped with Youtube for a while. But...
I have to go to a wedding Friday, but I might be down for Saturday. Ive been trying to come to a group hang for years
I usually fall asleep on my back in the hammock,but during the night I always manage to end up on my side. At home I'm a 100% side sleeper. Even on my side in the hammock, it's more comfortable than...
Its not a new product, but I'd like to see other color options for the Econ series. Whatever happened to the red?
Here is a link to another forum post about the tarps. I forgot they had named them quest II and Journey II.
...
There was a run of journey and quest tarps that were outsourced a year or so ago. They were manufactured overseas and sold ready to ship and at a discount compared to the custom USA made ones.
it appears the lightweight fabric and single layer hammocks are all out of stock.
She's only trying the hammock again so she can have content. She will be back to a tent after getting views.
OMG they killed Kenny!
I have a thunder fly, and it works great. My friend has the mini fly and wishes he had gotten the thunder fly instead. His complaint is that when its windy the breeze comes through easier and makes...
Oop. I meant to say side sling. I dont have the side car. My bad :)
I use the side car to hold a water bottle, layers of clothing to put on/off during the night and jacket. The peak shelf holds my head lamp, phone, battery charger and wallet. I had the peak shelf...
Darn. I can do Saturday to Sunday; I have to work Black Friday :(. Oh well, maybe next time
I have a set of 40 degree Econ quilts, a Premium 20 Incubator and a UGQ 20 Bandit. I like the HG econ line and find that for the majority of my trips this year so far (spring, summer, fall) I have...
The Dutchware Halfzipped might work for you as well. It's made with a symmetrical bug net so you can flip your lay. You can also unzip the bugnet and tie it off to the side with toggles.
When isn’t there a lot of deep mud at Dolly Sods?
When I did the trail 2 years ago ( clockwise where the loop turns from the connector trail) there was a bunch of downed trees about a mile towards the end of the loop. It made finding the already...
For the amount Reserve America makes off of fees, you would think they would be able to have a website that doesn’t look like it was designed in the 90’s.
I have a set of 20 degree and 40 degree quilts. I have used the 20’s in spring/fall and the 40’s in summer. Also, when I have taken a friend out and he’s needed to quilts for his hammock we have...
one of my tarps is an asym tarp that I made from Dutchware’s Xenon Wide asym tarp kit. I’ve really only taken it out in the summer and it’s experienced a few stroms. However, since the fabric is...
Currently listening to Dutchette on the HYOH podcast, and thought I best mark the date down on my calendar now. I’ve been trying to attend for a couple years but “life happens”. Hope to attend this...
I'm from Western NY and hit up Allegheny National forest several times a year. There's a ton of trails to backpack over several days. Minister Creek is a great loop (do it counter clockwise);...
Dang, you beat me to it. Was just going to share that one.
You could always make one. Even if you don't have a sewing machine, it's an easy project to hand stitch.
Have you looked at the Massdrop down pine blanket?

Hickory Creek is boring. No views, not many water sources. It's also hard to navigate due to there being no new blazes, and the older ones fading away. If there's lots of fallen leaves it might make...
