I use a converted Costco down throw. $20 plus the time to convert.

I use an underquilt.

I did the LT in 1999 and barely used my tent in lieu of shelters. Would be very do-able in a hammock, with good bail outs if you can't hang.

#695 shipped today. Just in time for a trip to the Enchantments!

I just stuff a piece of fleece in my footbox.

Weighing your stuff is good, but may lead to other purchases . . .

Burpees before bed.

All done . . .

Sale pending . . .

Still available! I'll now pay for shipping!

One thing I hated about tents was taking poles. It seems cool, though. I was thinking of getting a pair for my backyard hangs. I don't think I'd put them in my pack, however.

another vote for 20. I like a 3/4 for my 3 season UQ.

Still available. Bump for the weekend . . .

HG fan over here!

Good stuff. Looks fun. My kids love our Connect.

Full length in winter. Shorty all other seasons.

We're good, man. Save me from myself!

I raid the WallyWorld camping section for my kids. They love all the doo dads that I don't buy for myself.

I'm in Seattle. I'll send it to you, if you want it.

I have a 0, 20 and 40 degree underquilt. I use a 20 degree TQ even in quite cold temps. I use a converted Costco down throw as a warmer TQ.

Nice starter tarp. Pitch twice in my backyard.

$50 plus shipping.

Thanks all!

We take an old ENO hammock & my Alite Monarch for dayhike chilling.

Also weight. The Econs are heavier.

I'm a lazy man. And a fiddler. I clip.

Dutch has good starter hammocks that are quite reasonable and light!

Great stuff! Thanks!

HG Econ Phoenix - this is around $100.

Tenacious, buddy. It'll be OK.

Peeeeeeerfect . . .

My hammock sleep is pretty dark. Dreamless.

Argon is cotton-ey. But stretchy.

Dutch hammocks. His regular is a great starter hammock . . .

A HG Econ Phoenix is calling your name!

Very helpful! I saw one of these at REI the other day, but was in too much of a rush to climb in.

Fiddly. Maybe too fiddly.

Hoping my 7 year old will take to hammock camping this season. It'll be hard to separate her from her tent . . . she certainly loves napping in the hammock in the backyard.

Perfect! Can't wait for mine to arrive.

Anxiously awaiting . . . I'm in the mid-300s.

Zing it: 12' at each end of ridgeline and 6' at the tie outs.

I use my 11' tarp as a general guide for a good pitch on my 11' hammock. If all fits in well, I know I've got a good hang.

Depends. If iffy, I usually keep a sweatshirt handy to stuff in my footbox. If I know I'll get cold, I put a pad in there.

Looks great! Where did you go?

I'm too old to sleep on the ground!

Pitch lower.

I've never had hypnic jerks while sleeping in my hammock. but I usually don't have them in a bed either.

Fellas: the adjustment of the end cinch alleviated some, but not all, of the problem. It seems I'm getting a gap at the foot end along the flattened portion along my leg on a diagonal lay. Right...

I have a wide version because I'm a side hammock sleeper and sleep on the ground occasionally. It's great.

Thanks much for the advice all. I think it may be over-cinching the ends, because it wasn't coolness at pressure points, but a longitudinal band of coolness along my lower back and down. We'll see...

I spent a night in the backyard in the old HG Phoenix 40 and was battling some coolness on the nether regions for a bit. Low temp was about 50. I blamed the breeze, because I've been comfy in this...
