Thanks for hearing me!
Yes, I already have my way of setting up my tarps that works well for me. I was just trying to understand what I was seeing in the material. And I love flying sideways in a storm! Ha ha! Thanks,...
Check!
Now I wait to see what Jared from SLD creates for me! Very excited!
Thank you everyone! I really appreciate your consideration and input!
I have a long trek to live under my new tarp (to continue), so I really want to make sure it's what I need. Your posts have...
Flex, yes, that makes sense. Billowing is different. What I'm seeing, is without tie-outs or bars of some sort, the tarp would continually be on you. The tarps move as though they are not tied down,...
Thanks for your input. That's interesting, my tarp was alway taut, except in the morning after a rainstorm, so the idea of it not, is very new to me.
Yes. Why did they stop making light...
Hi,
So I am in touch with vendors about a new tarp, but I haven't bought a tarp in almost ten years, and there are new-to-me materials out there, namely Silpoly.
I loved my silnylon MacCat...
I LOVED my OES Macat Standard, one of the smaller tarps out there. Over the years of owning it, I learnt how to pitch it and where to pitch it, and it covered me in the worst of the worst storms...
Hi there,
As the title says, I lost me MacCat Standard while on a bike tour, and this bright yellow MEC tarp I quickly replaced it with is just not the same.
If anyone has a MacCat Standard...
I will keep that in mind. I never thought they would rip! All those hulls all over the place! Yikes!
Thanks so much, Latherdome! That helps a lot! :thumbup:
Oh! Thanks for the quick reply!
Would you mind telling me which brand you have? I mostly see rectangle and straight tube shapes.
Hi there,
I have been full-time for a very long time now, and have been an off again and on again pillow user in my Mayan hammock indoor. In trying to stay eco-friendly, I've recently come across...
RIP Rain Man.
Oh, really? I've read this so many times; it seems I'm not the only one who thinks this. But then, I don't own an incubator and have never seen one in person. Maybe someone from HG can clarify this?...
66" Zeppelin will fit you perfectly as full coverage (cover your head too). I'm 5'7.5 and have a 71" wide Zeppelin with about 3-4 inches to spare (I like to ooze a bit). With the 66", with my head...
Welcome!
Love me the Fundy Footpath. Wish I had a hammock when I did it.
Enjoy the forum!
I like the extra width for when I lay on my side.
Well, there have been more than a few times I got in at night, not realising just how many mosquitos got in with me (once there were at least 30 in there with me), and I was fine. I'm one of those...
I hang it on the ridgeline with my hand washed thong and socks. All fresh! No one has said a thing.
I like the 10˚F lower than your planning to go thing. That buffer can come in handy, especially, when the temps can be very different once you get there. Plus, UQ's are easy to vent, unlike TQ's. I'd...
Not in my experience (full-timer).
One thing to make sure of with the eye bolts is, if there is a division/crease where the eye comes together with the neck of the bolt, make sure it's on the up side on your final turn. If it's...
No, no pillow. I like something, usually my quilt bunched up high near my ears. On my back, it feels cozy, and when I turn to either side it gives me the support I need.
UGQ does have the head indicated buy a white tab, but I can't really see the difference between the head and the foot. I'm sure if you messed it up it would not be detrimental, as it it would with an...
I've seen this kind of hanging netting a few times before (New Zealand / Australia area). The only difference was it hung on both sides, and was not attached at all like Dutch's. Apparently it works...
I experienced the opposite as you, and got frustrated when very knowledgeable people with 50 hammocks and quilts were scooping up the good deals, while I had to research if it was a good deal or not...
Ha Ha! Yeah, the finances didn't support the vision of being able to get the winter top quilt a few months after the UQ, then the seasons changed and then I focused on what I could afford and use...
You could make this a pole.
19!? Wow!
I have a 30˚F Topquilt (as of last night!) and a 0˚UQ, and will one day complete each set, but this will have to do me until I can.
Ha ha ha ha!!!! Actually, when you're laying in them to sleep the weave comes closer together. It's just when it's sprawled out in sitting, hang-out mode that there's danger in hamming things up. I'm...
I sleep in a Mayan hammock full time. I've laid in a Brazilian hammock, and didn't find it itchy, but I do find them a bit too stiff for my liking (I prefer a softer bed, and so prefer more stretch...
Darn it! I just tried to like your post! ...
LIKE!
Being from Calgary, I have never seen the northern lights in Banff. maybe there were too many lights where I was? - beautiful place though! You're more likely going to see them in Jasper, if Alberta...
Canada works too. ;)
Definitely worth seeing at least once in your life time. I seemed to have taken the experience for granted.
Very exciting! Thanks for passing the savings along. You didn't have to. :)
Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! Only 2 away from the production line!!!! :boggle:
See me be patient.... kinda sorta! :woot:
On the HG website it says standard is 74" long and 50" wide.
Nice work! Congratulations!
Hammocking.... Good enough for a King!
Looks good! At least my bandit is still on the list! Ha ha!
I'm on Safari and it won't open the Zepplin page though. Too, as Trailslug experienced, there's no visual feedback that my colour choice...
Thanks for reading! Maybe you could come back and let people know what helped you and what you chose, once you get a topquilt? :)
Just ordered my first ever top quilt!
30˚F Bandit
Lime Green w/ Charcoal inner
Sewn footbox
So excited! This is going to save me 2lbs!
And the excruciating wait begins.....
"One door closes, another opens." Welcome to the Forum! I'm sure you'll have a long, fulfilling relationship with your hammock!
I'm from Calgary too! I just don't live there.
Single Layer & Double Layer
Yes, love my Dream Hammock!
Ha ha ha! Yes, of course. I forgot about what we can learn in our sleep!
Thanks for that!
-------------------
So here' what happened.... I woke up, or was woken up rather, at around 4:30...
Yes, thank you! Now if you could just assure me there will be no drafts, ever, that would be great! Ha ha! Since I started this thread, it's become very clear just how much I'm freaking out about...
The wind isn't the problem, the single line it pulling each pullout toward the centre, forcing it to fold in the middle to accommodate. As others have stated, separate lines are the way to go if you...
I meant the sleeping bag doesn't move with my body like the fleece does. The fleece tends to cling, so if I move, it moves.
And, yeah, I already have an UQ from them, so I'm pretty excited about...
Actually, this is good information! Thank you!!!
Thanks!
I think I'm just having the "first quilt paranoia" thing happening, and needing some reassurance. With a very loose measurement over baggy jeans, laying on the floor, I'll have a good...
