Interesting, He is a runner so that may cause some discomfort
I dont think its the size of the hammock he is using a Skeeter Beeter from Grand Trunk which is almost an eleven foot hammock... He was sleeping on his back when he experienced the pain... Now...
So have a friend getting into the hammock world and he experienced not knee or shoulder pain but Hip pain in the hammock from sleeping. Any idea how or why? I know I read a post about this when I was...
how long are the straps?
Semi finished last night and tried it out and they work great so far the total cost has been 15 bucks for a 3/4 quilt that I would say is at least rated for 50 although I'm looking forward to see how...
Classic usually means the bottom entry or Velcro
Seems like a solid choice. While I don't use much from Eno in my personal gear they are not cheap in manufacturing quality. Like the other post if you can get it cheap do it and then sell it later to...
Yea i was wondering what the side channels even do. They seem to me that their only function is to adjust the placement of the under quilt. I mean i guess they do make the bag somewhat closer to you...
So im not sure if this is a brand new idea but I am having a hard time finding someone who has done this.
I came up with the idea of using a kids sleeping bag as an under quilt. It is about the...

So as I hung in this for the first time my one spreader bar snapped in two... this could be very uncomfortable hammock but it is a cool thing...
no that wasnt it ill post pics in a bit when I get to go out and hang for the first time
Sorry bad description... The ends that would be the same side as a gathered end hammock
Price was 25 bucks which I bought immediately so the wife could try it before I got her a ridgerunner
So yesterday I went to a local army surplus store to look for knick knacks for camping. Lo and behold I found a bridge hammock that appears to be a military jungle hammock. I couldn't find a picture...
Welcome to Hammock camping!
1. The RL should have a bit of tightness to it but nothing near a guitar string. Typically if you hang it anywhere around a 45 degree angle you should be fine. Unlike a...
lol hilarious responses... and yes it sounds ridiculous but it is a step in the right direction to get up to the Cuben Fiber lol.... She is not an outdoor enthusiast as myself and is learning the...
Just curious about what is on the mystical secret side of the forum you get if you donate.... I would love to donate but need more firepower to convince the wife.
I have never slept with one... the Local REI had one for a few months and i checked it out. felt to me like a high quality sleeping bag.... I mean for me I think the TQ is the last ingredient needed...

I dont know about that.... Wouldn't want to do that but if needed you could
that is a correct lay... you could change it and have your feet towards the zipper and head toward the net... either way is a good lay though as long as you are doing this diagonal lay
Been looking for a while at different water filters to go backpacking with. Heard about the sawyer and saw it on dutch's site and thought lets try it (btw it cheaper there too). I made the purchase...
Agree with that... Although I am not a huge lover of knots it was cool to learn the technique for HH. I however like a much easier setup so i just tied the ropes together to make a big loop and...
classic means bottom
is it just the hammock or does it have the fly and snakeskins as well?
Honestly this is the reason I joined this site... there are so many forums out here but no real genuine help there. I know I probably have annoyed others with my questions but have learned so much...
Mods can take this off... sold it to a friend
daily bump
mods: can close changed my mind on what I want
For me I use and HH now and I will say it is miles better than an ENO but I still love the ENO... The ENO is so much better for what it is intended for it is a lounger and a quick set up. It is not...
Ok edit on this... Went to hang my hammock at my parents when I visit them because it is honestly a more comfortable lay than the old mattress that they have... Huge wind and rain storm came...
OK guys trying to sell this pack before I move... new price is 60
I actually live in Chester now... It is strange that I can't find anyone with my tastes in outdoors until im ready to leave lol figures
There is also the Clark Vertex which I have heard is the best two person hammock around... No idea how you would hang that indoors but beside that i would agree with the others that 2 hammocks are...
Thats what I like to do as well... All i use is a pair of tree huggers and carabiner but cutting down on that weight would be good
price drop to 80
I for sale my first bag which is a Lowe Pro rover plus AW.... Great bag and it is atleast 5 years old but function and looks brand new. Been stored in a smoke free home. I have used it only a hand...
Thanks... really liking all of Dutch's stuff and just order my first item from him... which is just a sawyer mini but looking forward to switching out my figure nines for his gear for better weight...
curious does this do any damage to trees at all... I know for the gram weenies who carry only 2lbs of equipment they are not worried but for the rest of us our packs can have some major weight to...
Walmart and hobby lobby have them... you need to go to the sewing section not arts and crafts in walmart
No reason to pick on ENO like that :lol: Hammock Jokes
Had two great approaches already but a bit steep... looking for 70 or cheaper if you got something lying around
Yes for me I had to take my wife to a simple park to "test-run" all the equipment before we go on a big trip. She would never go out without a sleeping bag now.
The best way to use this product and it isn't great in my opinion but the wife likes it because it make her feel secure, is to go ahead and either have a built in ridgeline to your hammock with...
Hey Guys,
Moving from the great state of Virginia where I have been to almost every major park and I am looking for some new adventures in this state.... I have already decided to climb mt....

Here is another method
I see the point of the question... At first I hated that idea because i do have gear I would like to get rid to buy more gear:lol: But now I love the rule because I have learned so much more and even...
Wow... real dedication there... props to you!
Honestly houses built before the 70's are more likely to hold the forces needed than even some newer houses today. Codes in mini states make certain features like the 2x4's being weaker than...

Here it shows how you would get into it
Poco is hammock friendly just so you know... However sites have very limited trees for more than two and sometimes two hammocks are a challenge
