    I no longer own a Western style bed and will never ever go back to them, I sleep so well in hammocks. The housing market is also utterly bonkers in my area and I LOVE that hammocks let me make a...

    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 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:

    I have some $10 400lb rated anchors screwed into studs in the wall, and I spliced myself an extra set of whoopie slings for indoors. I use my backpacking hammock as my sleeping hammock on the...
  9. Any concerns about adding snaps and things to hammock fabric?

    Thinking of installing some Kam snaps or hooks to attach convenient odds & ends along the edges of my netless backpacking hammock. I'd like to be able to snap my underquilt in place so it doesn't...

    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...
