thank you, boulderv7! appreciate it.
Comment probably got hidden among the pics when I posted reply with quote. Can someone tell me more about the pic with the curved green tarp. There appears to be a dog setup below the hammock. ...

In the last pic of this series, it looks like the netting below the hammock is for a dog? Can someone help share more info about this setup? I'm looking at something for my new aussie puppy but...
tried out the stacking last weekend. low was 24 degrees. I stacked my HG 30 incubator and my HG 40 phoenix (pics below) and was toasty all night. 169634169635
I've had them about 6 months and hung about 20-25 times on them. No issues with durability. No issues with size wise, but as some other have said I do have to be slightly more observant in my tree...
I use the Hummingbird straps. I bought a set of the extensions (.75 ounces) in case I run into large trees or set further apart. I have a hennessy hammock with carabiners at each end that I clip...
thank you for the info! the chart is helpful and Shug always comes thru with sage advice. I have a 30 degree incubator and a 40 degree phoenix. stacking per this will help me get down even lower...
new site looking good!
great video and beautiful part of the country. voice over is perfect!
thank you! I use Gaia app on my phone. I hear they are working on a geo referenced pdf function. I downloaded Avenza but haven't used it yet.
some good looking pups! We just got an Australian shepherd puppy and I can't wait to take him out on the trail. I cut a sleeping pad down and used a woobie to make him a sleeping bag. this is a...
great video- would love some more info about the trail.
Got my new burrow 30 econ today in the mail! Harry from HG even got it to me a week early so I can use it for my trip next week. You guys are the best!
never heard of the one you mention. I have a North Face Inferno -20 degree bag. I love it, super warm and still pretty light at 3 lb 5 oz. They also make a -40 version.
I use the hummingbird straps and a heron tarp. love their stuff. haven't bought a hammock yet, but might at some point. I modified my Hennessy Hammock and have biners at the ends, that clip into...
my collection includes a 30 incubator and a 40 phoenix both econ. both great. love the phoenix 40 for warmer temps- in the 50s and 60s. haven't put my 30 to the limit yet but looking forward to...
thanks for sharing, i'm adding this to my trips to do list.
I just can't help myself, ordered another Hammock Gear product! Went with a Burrow Econ 30 this time and can't wait til it arrives in the mail!
Glad you enjoyed your trip! Sorry about your wife's ankle sprain.
Thanks all for contributions to this thread. Very helpful. I am headed to pick up a new pup this weekend- an Australian Shepherd and can't wait to get him camping with me. 167974
we had a backcountry permit and camped near but far enough off the trail. I wouldn't say it was appealing, but it was fine. it was about 1/2 way between windigo and north desor. probably about 7-8...
slept with it last night (low of 50) and it was just fine. was a bit windy with storms blowing in early morning. had a few gusts down my shoulders but just need to get the head cinch right. all in...
Sounds like a great trip! Our itinerary was very similar in reverse, we went:
Day 1) Windigo- 8 miles into backcountry permit site
Day 2) Backcountry site to Little Todd
Day 3) Little Todd to...
Got my Hammock Gear 40 degree phoenix econ in the mail today! Can't wait to use it. Thanks HG!
I've got a HH and the Hammock Gear Econ 30 underquilt and love it. $150 well spent.
I strongly recommend staying at Little Todd, it's an amazing campsite. Heard the wolves howling and had the campground to ourselves. Could likely get a glimpse of the northern lights (wasn't clear...
Wow, cool solution!
Variety is the spice of life, so just depends on the trip itinerary. Some days/trips are get up and go, others are relax for a bit. However, i'm always going to boil water for coffee. most...
Got an email today that my Phoenix Econ 40 is on it's way! Can't wait for its arrival!
I have cordage from Jacks R Better and 1.5mm cord from hummingbird hammocks. Both seem plenty strong and the 1.5mm is really light. Never been concerned about the strength of either cord. I have...
I only have a HH so can't speak to the WBBB. I love my HH Explorer Ultralite Zip, but also made some modifications to it. I don't use the included rainfly, I also cut the cordage and tied a bowline...
Did the Minong Ridge Trail a few years ago and loved it. Seaplane dropped us in Windigo and we hiked the Minong to McCargoe Cove. Little Todd campsite is one of my top 5 campsites of all time. ...
thank you for this info, the porkies are on my to-do for a trip soon. had no idea about this new reservation system.
none of my quilts have overstuff, and work great. guess i'd have to try one with it sometime to see if it's magical.
Checkout the straps from hummingbird hammocks. I was going to say they weigh 2.3 ounces, but I just checked out their site and they have an updated model that weighs only 1.55 ounces.
Just got home from a trip and pulled my UQ and sleeping bag out from the compression sack. Haven't ever spent any time thinking about this topic, just know that's the way I learned. Given how long...
Glad to hear you've turned a corner! I took me a bit to get used to my setup, but once I did I sleep great.
I have the grand trunk microstool and I love it for lightweight backpacking. It's good as a stool during trail breaks and a place to sit and cook/make coffee in the mornings & evenings. There are...
Welcome to the forums!
I have a HH ultralight explorer. I'm 6'1 and the extra length makes it way more comfortable.
Definitely trial and error with setup and also finding a hammock that works well for you. I have a Grand Trunk and a Hennessy Hammock. I sleep fine in my Grand Trunk, but it isn't nearly as...
Best way to cut weight is to go to down, but sounds like that may be an issue for you. I'm not familiar with many synthetic quilt makers but did come across this company...
Welcome to the forums! Lots of good info here!
Happy Birthday! You'll enjoy your HG quilt!
