I don’t have the others, but can agree on the Winterdream. I’ve used it almost exclusively for two years and I really enjoy it. The doors are great and I enjoy the external poles. You can always...

No worries! I appreciate the clarification.

Was that a Ridge Reaper by LL, or a different UQ? I couldn’t quite tell from the pics. If it wasn’t the reaper, did you experience any side gaps? How did you attach to the Banyan?

Thanks!

...

Maybe check out the thread I have going titled “Fitting UQ to Banyan”. Just Bill shared some great tips and a video on getting a good fit to a bridge style hammock. Best of luck with it!

Another thank you, Just Bill. I had the chance to set up today after watching your three part videos. I set up a separate ridgeline above the Banyan. I tried lifting the UQ suspension on either end...

I felt the same way about the ridgeline on the first setup I did. However, when I set it up again the next day, I made sure to have the suspension about chest height and I pulled the beetle buckles...

Thank you for getting the pictures of that. It does look like a good fit to the Banyan. Did you happen to feel or notice any gaps when laying in it? I’m especially interested to learn if you noticed...

Thank you for setting it up and sharing the photos. I’d love to know more after your weekend trip in it, in combo with the weather you encounter. Again, thank you!

Thank you for sharing this, Shug.

Hey Just Bill! Thank you for that video. I believe you had it posted somewhere else on the forum, and I couldn’t find it again. I was wanting to go back to it, but I appreciate you posting it again...

Well, I’m happy to help in the testing phase if it moves things along! Hahahahaha. Thank you for the info.

When I looked over these as an option, the vids on YouTube by Spiguyver and Fugal show that there is a mod that have to take place to make these work (i.e. removing the metal hardware and integrating...

I’d love to hear your follow up on that! I didn’t consider AHE, because they made a point of noting on their website that the Ridge Creek is not meant to pair with the Banyan. I have an AHE UQ for an...

Hi all! Part of my hope with the Banyan was that I would be able to plug and play the UGQ Zeppelin with it; however, I’m getting sizable air gaps along the sides. After speaking with UGQ, it’s clear...

I received my Banyan last week, and I tried it out this weekend. I have a UGQ Winterdream tarp, with side pull outs for the external pole mods. I found by having one side a bit higher, I could get in...

Something like that would be great. What did you use to attach the grommets and where did you locate the pole? Thank you!

I appreciate that, Shug. I have a Winter Dream from UGQ that I could give a try. But with the limited funds at the moment, the Superfly is out of reach.

Hello all. First I realize I haven’t posted in some years, but I’m just recently getting back into hammock camping. Second, I’m unsure if I’m posting this in the right area, so if not, I apologize...

I've had the same issue using an Exped Synmat 9LW. It creates a strain on my knees by hyperextending them. I haven't found a way around it yet. I believe I brought it up in the Kool Aid drinker Amok...

Score! One shirt and two stickers. I might go back for another shirt! :-)

I'm happy to support and endorse. Like so many others here, Shug inspired me to get back into camping and to try hammock...

Can't wait! I'm subscribed every way I can be to get in on this. :)

Looking great Shug.

Thank you Paul, and thank you for answering my email inquiry about this the other day too!

Thanks all. Hope to try again early next week

Is that the usual mat that you use in the Amok?

Do you find you don't have the support underneath your legs for your knees? Or has your pressure adjustment taken care of that?

Thanks, but the Footbox fabric was just where it should be.

Well it was blessed Christmas. I found the Amok under the tree! It has been rainy and foggy while visiting family, but today was a nice day. I have the Exped SynMat 9LW. First, the setup was a...

Merry Christmas. [emoji319][emoji320] Great view.

Thanks for the behind the scenes shot. It's pretty cool to engage "my" vendor. While I know my KAQ UQ/TQ and pillow were made at the other shop, it gives you so much more appreciation to see the...

Really wish I could join you all. I've been hitting up Millpond over the summer - granted in the family/drive up sites. It's allowed me to get to know my HH better. And I get to squeeze some carving...

Thank you Paul for this sale! Orders placed. Pretty sure I've maxed my hammock budget for a while, but looking forward to the UQ and tarp!

I only paid $125 (including free shipping) for my 9 LW at Backcountry Edge last week. Looks like the price has gone up, but if you sign up for their newsletter you can get 20% off.

Got my exped 9 LW in yesterday. I played nice and followed the instructions to allow the foam to expand for 24 hours prior to inflating. Laid on it for an hour in different positions. You can feel...

THANK YOU! I was hoping so! Already Ordered my exped last week in anticipation and hope for a sale. Yes yes yes! :)

Glad to hear you are well. I really enjoy the Hickery Bros episodes. Not only is it lighthearted, funny, entertaining, but it helps me learn and inspires me to get out in the woods more. These are in...

Picked up a top quilt last night. Thank you!

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Learning a lot by searching the threads. So much catching my attention, especially the Amok. Might be moving to the top of the Christmas list. :)
