124359124360 Not so much extreme but its my best hang to date

Your dog is as cute as mine is. Glad your enjoying the Amok. Looking forward to trying mine

Nice pics. I ordered one a month ago but haven't been home to use it yet. How is the tarp that comes with it? I plan to use mine for a couple of winter hangs but I don't have a separate tarp for it,...

Nice, problem solved. Thanks for the link!

Not with the stock Clark tarp. I haven't taken the Amok out yet but that might work OK, but I wouldn't be using the Amok backpacking anyway. It would only be a concern on long thru hikes which I...

I need a way to hang my phone or tablet from my ridgeline so I can watch a movie or read an eBook without holding my device. Not sure how to do that on a regular gathered end but I bet that's not...

That's freaking awesome. I prefer stand up paddling, but change a couple of things and put a small trolling motor on it and I could have a sweet fishing rig.

I'm about to train my dog to go hammock camping with me as well. I found a bunch of good videos on the topic. My biggest concern is if I am dealing with a major storm. My dog is 60lbs but I really...

I understand most PCT hikers just cowboy camp the desert sections. Some even leave their tents/hammocks behind until Kennedy Meadows. That's what I would do if I had the opportunity to hike it.

That's a good question. I need to bring my dog to

I might be game. Carpool anyone?

Well said. There is something to be said for being resourceful. I could see there being a sticky thread on good hammock kits for newbies and another for being resourceful, though the whole DIY...

Great post. I wish I read this post before I bought a hammock. I went with something that was an all in one kit and chose the Clark mark 2. While it's a nice enough hammock, I didn't do enough...

That's a good idea. I'm going to remember that one!

I would be interested depending on where and if it's later in Feb.

I love the Amok. It's great for short backpacking trips. Most of my friends hate hiking but like camping. I also like having two hammocks so I can try to sell my friends on hammock camping. Maybe I...

I'm out of the area right now, but when I return in Feb, I plan to try a winter hang so I can dial in my gear. Anyone that's up for it should join me

Wow thanks for the great advice! I am used to carrying a lot of weight on my back and hiking long distances for work, but SilvrSufr makes a good point. Maybe I'm OK packing 50 lbs on my back, but I...

I don't have that specific hammock but I have a similar one by Clark called the Mark 2. Mine looks even less modular than yours does but it works fine as just a hammock without the tent poles. You...

I'm actually starting to regret going for the Clark. It was a toss up between that and the War bonnet hammock, and I chose wrong. I wanted a complete hammock system because I didn't know any better,...

I am sure this has been covered before. I did run a couple of searches but I didn't find a solid post covering this. Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse but I am a newbie here.

Anyway, I'm seriously...

I live on the west coast but I really want to do a thru hike. I work summers but I'm considering living on my savings this summer and doing a substantial thru hike. The catch is my dog, and from...

This post started last year but I'm glad it got bumped. I live in a camper when I'm not travelling overseas because I'm probably travelling domestically or not wanting to pay rent. I own a toy hauler...

I wonder if I'm making a mistake not going straight for the UQ but the mark 2 is designed to go to ground and I ordered the Amok draumr so a pad just makes sense. I bet I end up with 3 or 4 hammocks...

I just got my big Agnes system and cannot wait to try it out. It's pretty cold out there so I'll definitely be able to push its limits. Can't wait for better backpacking weather

My post was a knee jerk reaction. It's a pet peeve of mine when people leave notes, unless it's about safety. Not that I have had that happen more than a few times, but I get it, it's just a way of...

I really didn't want conflict and worded my post poorly. I hate it when people leave notes correcting my behavior. I see your point, however.

Can I withdraw my post? It's too late isn't it. Darn.

Woo hoo! Both of those options are way better than Tapatalk. Thanks!

As a side note, this forum is the only one I have ever wanted to participate in. This forum is great!

I don't like Tapatalk either but using HF on my phone without it really is frustrating. I use Android though. Is Tapatalk the only option? I wish the web site had a mobile version.

Shug and Fronkey videos keep me motivated to get outside. Way to easy to get lazy and hang around the house all day.

The problem with your suggestion is your not an official. I make an effort to follow rules, but if some stranger came up to me or left a note saying I did something wrong, I would be very aggravated....

How was your trip? Honestly, I'm mostly going to camp out of necessity than anything else. I'm only booked until the 26 of this month, but everything else is booked past that. I'm planning on camping...

Hello happy hammockers,

I recently got into camping hammocks, and I purchased a Clark Mark2 because I liked the idea of quickly going to ground to stay out of a storm. However, I already had a 3...

I just picked up the hammock fever myself this last fall, but I have a solid amount of disposable income, and bought expensive hammocks. Reading these forums sort of inspires me to make my own gear,...

Those guys, especially Trauma, should have more recognition for their achievements. Too bad they aren't hammock campers.

As for being on topic, I'm a pretty new hammock camper and worry most...

Amok draumr 3.0 because it's good for side and belly sleeping

Clark Mark2 because it can be easily used as a bivy in a storm and has a great system for the bug net and tarp

Warbonnet RR because...

Did you order a mark 2? That pad should do pretty well for it. I don't know if your keeping a blog or something for your trip, but I'd be curious to know how the mark 2 (or any hammock really) treats...

Mt Kit Carson maybe? I know of several places to hang in the woods near Fernan. The Silver Valley has some nice forested lakes you can hike into. My problem isn't where to hang, it's just getting out...

Well, I have an issue that I'm trying to figure out and am looking for ideas. I live in the inland Northwest (Coeur d'Alene), and I work a summer job that usually starts sometime early June. Once the...

I actually don't get why I am starting to really dig hammock camping. I have to camp out for work, which means throwing out my sleeping bag wherever the boss tells me and sleeping in the dirt, or on...

I am new to hammock camping, and so far I'm using whatever tarp comes with the hammock. This video shows me how much nicer life can be with a good tarp. I think I will purchase this very tarp when...

I'm in Costa Rica until February but I will have a brand new hammock and BA sleep system waiting for me when I return. If your into it, I'd love to do a winter hang and test my new gear when I return.

Any reason why you don't name the other vendor? I would like to know who to avoid as much as who to buy from.

I have to read the clouds and sky weather for work and find it more reliable than my phone. The problem? I often can't see enough of the sky to know how the weather is moving when I'm not at work....

I just noticed your post. That thing looks pretty sweet! I bet it's more comfortable than the Mark 2, though I'm not sure about the ground part. Looks like you still need to use hiking poles or...

Oh yeah forgot to add: the pad. I am in the process of purchasing a big Agnes sleep system so I can attach a nice insulated air mattress to my sleeping bag, otherwise it will slide all over the...

I have my hammock in front of me, but no scale to weight it. All I know it's that it's probably lighter than most tarps (feels feather light to me), and it cost me an extra $40. If you already have...

I stopped using weather apps a long time ago, and the weather channel app was one I used for a while. Apps change a lot over the years. I'll check that one out again. I bet the material redesign a...

I have seen so many videos of the Linville gorge hike, I really want to do it myself. Too bad it's across the country. Thanks for the trip update. More ammo for my daydreaming.
