I believe I still owe you postage for my Stanley coffee press. Do you take beer as payment? :)

I believe I still owe you postage for my Stanley coffee press. Do you take beer as payment? :)
Howdy folks it's been a while. Made it to Yates a couple of years ago but could never get comfy in a hammock UNTIL I discovered my Warbonnet Ridgerunner. Gamechanger for me. So might be able to get...
It was great to meet y'all - had a blast and learnt a ton. Proud to say I stayed dry given the heavens dumped on us all night!!!
Clearly I need some upgrades though!!!
See you guys soon
Folks, I'm still excited to come, will be my first group hang! Going to tweak my schedule and come Thurs and leave Saturday just to avoid the super cold temps - looking forward to whomever makes it...
So I have 2 40-50 degree underquilts, I plan to stack them and maybe throw a sleeping bag in the middle, also stacking a top quilt with another sleeping bag. Will bundle up in layers, throw in some...
So my culinary skills are like my hair, non-existent. I can bring paper goods and rolls etc and also make a dollar contribution
This is my first time attending so what sort of # of people should I...
Thanks for all the feedback folks. It certainly sounds like it would be a significant upgrade. I will check with the command module and seek permission for a purchase :)
I find I need to force the hammock with my feet to get a flat lay...and then I wake up not so flat...
And yes, great idea, I'm planning on heading to the Yates hang next month - so was hoping to...
So I know I am asking a really subjective question - like which tastes better...BUT
I have a no-name 10.5ft hammock, very wide. It's, at best, ok comfortable. I can sleep but will wake up 4 or 5...
Howdy all
Complete noob here but am aiming to attend Fri/Sat/Sun so looking forward to meeting everybody!
I'll have to give that a try also - lot's of good ideas and hopefully I can tweak my setup to get it perfect!!
Thanks
OK so night #2 completed. Def MUCH better. One new problem, without a pad my sleeping bag is 'sliding' to the middle of the hammock so I need to keep repositioning. I think I just need to raise the...
Well night 2 is planned for today so we'll see how it goes with a UQ - def can feel the difference when I lay in it, along with a bigger bug net....
So I have a Walmart special - its 124 x 77 so a little under 11 ft and bigger than 5ft wide....I am hoping it is close enough to get a good feel. Assuming I like it I can invest in a bigger one....
Thanks for the comments folks. As of last night I am the proud owner of a new underquilt (birthday gift yayy!!) and a new bigger bug net arrives on Weds. these are all budget items but will get me up...
OK so have now completed a night.
I ended up finding a a pad I had lying around, was about 3/4 of inch foam and a sleeping bag
Was very warm (perhaps too much)
I would say I got a 6/10...
Hi Jacob - newbie from Charlotte here, welcome!
Thanks Shug, let me go dig out my walmart blue pad special and see how that works....
Howdy all,
So am planning a backyard hang tonight - it will be my first night in my hammock. According the forecast it will be a low of 66 F tonight. I *think* I can get away without a UQ but am...
my knot typing skills are limited to hiking boots - but I figure I need to learn so I'll give it a looksie - thank for the heads up
Yep you are spot on. Those are the fittings I mentioned that I still need to add. I think I can get some that screw on the end that have either a hook or some kind of eye that I can hang the hammock...
Howdy all,
So I am a 100% newb, haven't actually done an overnight (yet), so please be gentle with your comments :) I have no suitable trees in my back yard so looked at some threads and youtube,...
Much appreciated! Thanks
Thanks!I'll have to check out Open Kitchen, never made it there - I'm on the south side of town aka "build townhomes on every square inch of land" :)
PM Sent!
Thanks - will keep an eye on it!
Been thinking about hammock camping for a while now. Done a little tent camping (actually car camping is more precise).
So figured I'd see if there is a group hang anytime soon nearby, I'm sure...
Although originally born and raised in London, England, I moved to the US a while ago (like 25 years) and started living in New York (Manhattan). Long story short I get into hockey in a big way, even...
