Good stuff, welcome to the forum! I'm right down the turnpike from you, but work in Tulsa every day.
I love the Zeppelin bend, but I never use it as a slipped knot. I've never seen the need for that, so I'm curious what you use it for? I've also never tied it in the bight, never thought about doing...
Gotcha! I guess I know in some part of my mind that the bugs are absolutely horrendous up there, but it's been a while since I've been there, so it's easy to forget.
And in that kind of wilderness...
I started to write a whole story, but it started becoming a book, so I'm setting it aside for now (perhaps a future thread!). I have 4 kids, currently ages 11-19, and they all absolutely love hammock...
For this purpose, I would say the two knots are somewhat interchangeable. I can't speak to Bob's reasoning behind it. However, I use a Blake's hitch in climbing rope for climbing trees, and trust my...
Drop price to $150.
Bump, price drop to $165.

There's a good HF thread on it here: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ck-Experiences
This kit is...
I have one and love it. It's a good value compared to similar products from other companies. I've had mine down to 30º and been comfortable.
The BHT is a great trail. I actually hiked it twice with a couple of my kids last year! It's like an old friend. I know the trail well, which actually makes it fun. And I also enjoy taking little...
Good to know, I hadn’t paid attention to that! Not that I need to spend any more right now...
I have seen Sintax77’s videos on it. I still haven’t carried it on an actual trip, only car camping with the family, so far! I may try it sometime soon though on an overnight loop ι’m planning.
I’m just curious! Yes, the Draumr is heavy. But it’s also comfortable, and can be convenient with the way the pad provides bottom insulation. So how many of you are willing to add the weight?
For...
There is a WTB (Want To Buy) sub-forum in the same forum as the FS threads! And that works too.
Sold, thank you!
Price drop to $165 shipped to CONUS.
Up for re-homing is a Warbonnet Ridgerunner, with bug net, brown, double-layer with cinch buckles. It’s in excellent shape, stored in a smoke-free home. It has only been used on trail a couple...
Well, I was hoping to be able to sell this pack to be able to trade out for some other needed gear. Perhaps I'll just have to work out another way to use it.
Price drop to $170 shipped to CONUS.
Dropped price to $180.

There's a good HF thread on it here:...
Yep, and I knew better...
Of course, if I had set the tarps up properly, it wouldn’t have rained at all!
Just finished a great weekend of car camping with my family of 6 and my brother’s family of 5 at Arrowhead State Park on Lake Eufaula near McAlester, OK. I didn’t get any pics because I was too busy...
Even more disturbing is that you’re hanging in a spreader bar hammock. I think Dutch would consider it to be a far worse blasphemy to defile his bling with such a contraption.
:lol:
I was posting from my iPad previously, and was having errors uploading photos. So, here are a few from my setup!

Thanks for that. Somehow I’ve missed that video. Now I need to hop on YouTube and see what else I’ve missed...
That makes me feel a lot better about it. Now to get out and try it for myself!
Here’s my initial impressions from the time I had yesterday to enjoy my new Draumr in the backyard. It is extremely comfortable, and I am overall very pleased so far.
I do have a couple minor...
It showed up today! I love how Amok was ahead of schedule on this. Everything looks very well done.
Awesome photos. Tracking shows mine arriving tomorrow. May have to throw up hammocks for the kids too and let everybody sleep out in our woods tomorrow evening.
I love that cup. Means that the first thing you do when you get to camp MUST be to fix coffee! Like I need an excuse...
My issue with whoopie slings on a hammock is that they limit how close you can be to the trees. Sometimes I'll just attach a tree strap directly to the CL, just letting the WS hang because of that...
My order date was 8-30, just got my shipping notice! Now to wait until it processes so I can see delivery time...doubt I'll have it for this weekend's adventures, but it should arrive by the 1st,...
I also ordered Woody Green, but on the 30th. So hopefully my tracking number will come tomorrow!
When did you all order?
Nice. Waiting on my tracking number. Tried to hold my breath, but realized that would probably prevent me from enjoying the hammock. :shades:
Got an email notice today that shipping is beginning, and we will begin to see tracking numbers on Monday! I ordered mine on the last day of the pre-order (I forced myself to wait that long to make...
The weather has been getting nice here in NE Oklahoma. I haven’t had a chance to hit the trail yet (too many projects going on right now to have a weekend off), but I’ve spent a few hours in hammocks...
Sounds like a great time. Would love to join up, unfortunately, that’s the same weekend as the Home and Garden Show in Tulsa, at which I have a booth. So there’s no way for me to make it! But I’ll be...
I bet they’ll have backorders for a while, so if you’d prefer a different color, I bet it will be pretty easy to sell for the cost of a new one if you’re willing to wait.
I ordered the green, but...
Just got an email from Amok - XLs are enroute to the US warehouse and are on track for April 1 delivery! I'm looking forward to it. I keep wondering if this is part of some elaborate April Fool's...
Anyone know why the site is down? When I visit the site, it shows an error message that it is missing the MySQL extension.
Perhaps they're having website trouble, in which case, I can certainly...
Fully concur; love my MMP. It generally takes me just a bit longer to get packed up in the morning, but the versatility is well worth it. I’m surprised it’s not more popular than it appears to be....
Price reduced to $100 shipped to CONUS.
Very low mileage - it’s been used a total of 7 nights by adults
Comes complete with all original items.
Click link below for more info from the manufacturer....
I’ll take the Superfly.
Lagavulin here. A little pricey perhaps, but a bottle lasts me a long time, and there’s nothing better on the trail! It’s like sipping a campfire, in a very good way!
I’ll take the snake skins.
If that's the choice, I think the RO is far more useful, as it is easily accessible. You can add another shelf later if you want, or, if you need that much "passive" storage, use a gear hammock or...
Excellently! Glad to hear good things are happening.
I like that suggestion. I'm going to have to try it out!
