Y'all have it pretty rough up there right now.
My XL has this same problem. I spread a light coating of Vaseline applied with a Q Tip. Very light coating. It helps a little.

At 7:30 in this video he shows how to...
If it was for an XL I'd love to have it. I guess I'm going to have to get one this week. Looking at to 0 degree.
Welcome from Southern Arkansas. You'll really enjoy hammock camping.
Welcome from Arkansas too.
Ah I think you're refering to the poles in your link. Missed the the first time. I have the same setup as you and I just use my trekking poles to pull out the sides. I like the idea of the poles in...
I may be a little confused about your question. Are you talking about using a pole to attach to the tarp pullouts to give you more room under the tarp?

I have the XL and Safari. I'm 6'1". Plenty of room for me. I think 5 more inches would still not be touching either end. I think they're based in Utah. Might find one in your area to lay in before...
Welcome from Arkansas. I just hot a couple of hammock tents. Looking forward to cooler weather. You'll love it.
I wrapped the upper buckle with a small strip of gorilla tape. Holds great now. Takes a little extra effort to release but it still releases from inside. I wrapped it so that it is not trying to...
Anyone else having trouble with the lounge strap slipping?
I've done it a few times. As an arborist I'm used to being in the trees. Shug is right about Treefool, he has a YouTube channel and does a lot of tree camping.
Welcome Corbin!
Welcome from Arkansas Kyle!
Welcome back from Arkansas.
Hey from Central Arkansas. Gear does become addictive.
I'm not trying to take any business away from DutchGear. I actually ordered some line and wasps from them a few weeks ago. And will be ordering more titanium goodies pretty soon. I just thought if...
Treestuff and Sherrill Tree both have free shipping over $100. All tree items would be over that amount but one spool of throwline wouldn't be. I order from them every couple months. If anyone would...
As an arborist I buy mine from Treestuff.com. You can use coupon code "Arborist", for ten percent off anytime. I always have plenty on hand. Samson is very good.
Glad y'all had a good time. I was wondering about that table as well.
Wish I could make it too. I would really like to go. Y'all have fun.
Welcome from Arkansas. I fly Powered Paragliders since about 05. Very fun sport. You'll enjoy hammocking.
Welcome back. My dad had a pretty bad accident almost 3 years ago. I bought him a hammock this past fathers day. It has helped him tremendously. He says he wished he had received it sooner. Really...
Welcome from Arkansas. Never too old to start any hobby. Start slow and light and get heavier as you go.
I love mine. Mine is green. Adds several degrees too. I went with a darker color in case I need to sleep in a bit.
It's in the Midwest section of Hangouts and Campouts.
Welcome from Arkansas. I believe they're going to have a frozen butt hang in Missouri coming up about the middle of January. I'm considering going. It's down around West Plains. There's a post about...
I have a Blackbird XLC and noticed that my winter top cover was sagging all of a sudden. Then I realized, I had just put my Cocoon over my hammock. I was leaving it unzipped just as an added...
Anchor hitch is very good. And easier to untie.

This channel is a very good source for knots.
Welcome from Arkansas.
I like a Double Fisherman's knot. It's a self cinching knot which means it will tighten down around your biner or whatever it's tied around not allowing it to slip off if your biner becomes open. I...
Stuffsacks. Works with my ppg wings. In tree work we use 200 ft of throwline. Usually Zing It. Stuff it in a throw cube and fold it up. 99% of the time it comes out perfect. The other one percent...
H.A.S.
Hammock acquisition syndrome.
Welcome. Sounds like a lot of fun.
I always take my hammock when I go to visit but it's hard to find two trees to hang from. They're in Saginaw and trees are sparse. Especially trees that are available to the public.
Welcome from Malvern Ar. I see you're in Austin. Have some family in Ft. Worth. Went to Austin to a wedding a couple years ago.
Looks warm.
I like the Cocoon. Don't use it all the time either. I tied a length of paracord to the upper zipper pull. I connect it to a biner on the ridgeline when it's zipped up close to my head. It's...
I want as far away from everything else as possible. No way I would have setup that close to a laundromat.
I've stayed in mine down to 33. That's as cold as it's been here in Arkansas. Snugpak uq underneath and a Wal mart sleeping bag opened up and on top. I do have the winter top cover on so that adds a...
I fear I'm becoming obsessed with underquilts. My tarp obsession just eased up a bit, now this.
Benjo75. My name is Ben. I play banjo in several bluegrass groups. So it was inevitable that Benjo was in my future. I was born in 1975 hence the 75 at the end of all my screen names.
Welcome Reaven. I'm new here too. You'll learn a lot here.
I lay on my side quite a bit. It keeps me covered pretty well. I don't hook it up as the directions suggest. I tried that and it was flared out at the ends. I run all 4 cords at each end to a...
I use a Snugpak uq. But I don't have anything to compare it to. Going to get a Wookie pretty soon though.
Must have been way sharper than my machete. I'd have a better chance cutting myself on a rubber wheel chock than mine.
I've been using a wadded up coat turned inside out for a few months. Finally broke down and bought an Ascend inflatable pillow. X Large. It works good inflated about halfway. The air valve doesn't...
Welcome from Arkansas. You'll learn a lot here. I'm a big WB fan too.
