If for any reason you don't like it let me know and I'll drive the 25 minutes over to Ephrata and buy it off you :lol::laugh:
Really need to order one, but it won't be here before we do our April...
I've always been partial to a mummy bag, but I'm trying to ditch my amazon budget bag (rated for like 45) and get a nice, lighter in weight, 20* tq/bag. Since I'm on my oh-so familiar budget I'm...
Just saw an ad on Facebook by Grand Trunk offering $20 off $75 or more on their site. It isn't on the home page of the site anywhere so it must be Facebook only perhaps? Regardless, it's awesome!...
Last night when laying on my hammock enjoying the beautiful weather in my back yard with the hammock flipped upside down (net on bottom) I noticed an area where the threading around the edge of the...
I'm still relatively new to all of this, but I definitely agree with the advice given. It definitely seems like a good UQ makes way bigger a difference for warmth and lets you get by with a lesser...
Sent you a PM about the cookset
I'll take the pad straps! Edit: 2 pairs (he has 2 more pairs if anyone is interested still)
Can't beat that!

Sure thing, I saw it and was like wait this is usually 50-60 bucks. Figured I'd help some people out!
If you don't do what Goat recommended I just have a wind breaker barclava (not really insulated..just to help wind) that is made for riding motorcycles and utility vehicles and suck. I wore that so...

I'm on a tight budget, and once I started researching hammock camping (I didn't know it existed about 2 months ago) I fell in love with the idea and HAD to do it. Honestly, the BEST way to get a bang...
Well, took my first ever hammock camping/backpacking trip this past weekend on the Mid-State trail in PA. We were outside the boyscout camp along 322 on 7 mountains between Lewistown and State...
Tracking received on a pack, thanks @squidbilly and @themushroom both for your help. Greatly appreciated!
I know a lot of people who frequently ask/say to people who did military for years and years: "You're probably up at the crack of dawn or earlier every day since you're used to it, right?" And heck...
Thanks, replied!

Purchased a UQ so now I'm back to just needing a cheap pack if anyone has one. Preferrably 50+L in size. I'd love for it to be under $50
Thanks @TheMushroom for the UQ.
I will not be attending, unfortunately. Depending on price, if you'll ship, etc I could still be interested. Feel free to PM me images and details and I'll at the very least take a look. :)

In the market for a nice big hiking/backpacking/camping pack that I can fit a rolled sleeping pad, hammock, suspension, tarp, water, etc (all my gear essentially) for a cheap price.
Amazon has a...
Hahaha! Oh, I shouldn't laugh since you're allergic. Since you didn't get stung it isn't as big an issue I'm sure, though. Most of my family is allergic to the majority of bees, but believe it or not...
Just got my Skeeter Beater pro yesterday! Was on sale 49.99 with 7 dollar shipping through an outside seller on Amazon, got a cool weather mummy style sleeping bag on amazon for 22 bucks (SEMOO),...
At times camping leads to increased beer drinking also, which is a diuretic. This is probably why I have to go more often when tent camping lol, haven't had my first hang yet since getting my hammock...
I'm 6' 1" and just got a Skeeter Beeter Pro which is over 10' so sounds like it's good I didn't order! Thanks!
Sounds like a plan, I'll just save the money now for later when it's more needed. Thanks.
So I see the Twisted Root UQ is back on woot...definite no go? Even if coupled with the Therm-a-rest ridgerest classic pad and a 45 degree bag on top? I won't be hanging in freezing weather, but I...
Hammeck is currently out of business btw

Yeah from the short time I've been on this forum there have been dozens of recommendations to check out woot. Crazy cheap deals on a bunch of stuff. The Yukon Survival kit is like half off and I eyed...

Only 15 dollars for "open-box" condition seems pretty cheap for a simple rainfly...some of the deals on this site...
Sounds perfect for a starter like myself!
There is one on sale right now in the for sale section for only 100 bucks never used. Great deal

It's back on the outdoor page if anyone is still interested. I would have gotten it if I had found it before getting the amazon one I ordered. Looks really nice
Since I'm new to Hammocking I'm not yet as involved as most on this forum, so perhaps I have more of a "outside looking in" perspective. Like what random people who aren't familiar with hammocking...
Just purchased a SBP so seeing stuff like this makes me feel a lot more comfortable about the company!
Ordered the Skeeter Beeter Pro last night, was on sale for 49.99 with $7.96 shipping on amazon in the Khaki/Olive color (I like all 3 colors anyway, and I love how Grand Trunk chooses colors that...
Unfortunately I already used that promo and have spent thousands with the visa card since then haha. I get 5% cash back on Amazon though so it's quite nice getting a free 5% taken off everything.
You're exactly right I think. I've literally been going nuts I just want to try it out haha. I'm most likely going to order the setup in the picture above tonight, if I go Thursday to test out the...
Well, starting out weight isn't top priority to me. That being said, I will be hiking with a backpack with said gear and camping from time to time (or so I plan). The way I wanna test it out is by...
I've heard and the guy I know locally who has 2 SBPs said he uses ratchet straps, so heck I imagine those are as adjustable as I want them to be and clearly cheap. Would that be a better option than...
So, with this setup..would it survive? Can I do better for the price? Are any of these items garbage? Plan on getting CCF at walmart and putting a makeshift pad inside my bag.

As much as I'd love to grab a cutequeen double or a similar amazon hammock, I'm just afraid I'll get one and end up not being able to enjoy sleeping in it overnight in the woods. I won't be doing any...
With me being 6'1" and new to hammocking this would probably be too short for optimum comfort I'd imagine :/
Is this a 10 foot hammock?
Definitely. The next warm-ish weekend I'd like to take it out and try it. Or maybe try it in my backyard overnight? lol
Someone local to me has 2 grand trunks and an amazon hammock he is offering to let me try and even borrow to see how it is. Which will probably lean me towards the SBP since it's cheap and includes a...
I guess theoretically I don't need the bug net yet since bugs aren't really around yet...so I could go that route and get a bug net later on when money is available
Wouldn't this be more expensive than getting the half wit with the 5' whoopies/straps and come with a bug net option? You seem to be extremely knowledgeable about the subject
