I lurked these forums so hard before actually going hammock camping that my only regret is not finding out about HF earlier in life before I invested in a tent setup :lol:
I'm extremely thankful...
I use an Arrowhead Equipment Cub pillow. It's a tiny little thing that just goes under your neck and has a cord and hook to clip it to your ridgeline. I like it so much I use this pillow form factor...
I use an Ashley's stopper knot in lieu of a bead. It's a good bit bulkier than a plain overhand knot.
Also don't sweat it too much on trips where you have a big margin for error! Lots of places here where you can go car camping on a 55F night with not a chance of rain, and lots of skinny trees to get...
Yep! PM me if you want campsite recs for the Bay Area :)
I seem to run ~15-20F colder than average, so 20-25F insulation is perfect for me. The typical camper who isn't a winter mountaineer will...
I love this idea, I've been trying to get more friends into hammock camping recently! :cool:
Realistically, if someone is not committed and is just getting started, I'd just say to get whatever...

Several years ago I foolishly hammocked on a warm summer night with only a sleeping bag and woke up miserable with an icy cold butt. I swore off hammocks. But then I got into backpacking. And as I'm...
Yeah, I factored the reported weight of the hammock with no hardware/rope since I'd splice in amsteel replacements. I think the full kit as of now is around the same, 12oz.
Hmm that's a really good point, I don't actually know yet what length I'd prefer backpacking in. Those fully custom pieces look great but I don't feel like I know all my preferences well enough to...
Lurker first post! In love with hammock camping and looking to upgrade from an inexpensive netted hammock. Any favorite UL recommendations? Just the hammock+net, I'm happy for now with my...
