I have a set of 2 inch tree huggers because there's ONE park in my area that requires them. I have an Evo loop on one end and a strap on the other. Makes it easy to set up - throw hugger around the...

Thanks for the great explanations, Kitsapcowboy. And thanks to Baridley for the zipper hem picture. A picture really is worth a thousand words!

Halfway through the episode and it's another good one. My only complaint about the quilt hooks is how easy they are to lose! Haha!

It's an Austin, TX paper touting an Austin, TX company. You can tell the Kammock folks invited her out for a hang and she did almost no research. Basically, it's a press release for them.

The colder it is, the more I get up in the middle of the night. I seriously think it's because my body's metabolic rate is higher to keep me warm and there's water created from breaking down carbs...

Same troop as CowPatty above. We'll get there.

I treat my clothing and bugnet. Permethrin is heck of a lot safer than DEET.

I also fear tick-borne diseases a thousand times more than permethrin.

Great documentation Leiavoia! My son and I have two of these throw blankets already. Once, I've already added (folded in half) as a booster to my PLUQ setup and it works down to the high 20's for me....

Test your bottle before trying this on the trail.
I cracked a Nalgene Oasis bottle (the military canteen looking bottles) when I put boiling water in it. Granted, the Oasis is not as thick as a...

Signing up when I get home tonight! Wife is going to stay in one of the cabins. I need to put together an UQ for my son to hang with me.

I'm getting better. I need earplugs in my yard to deal with the road noise, but in the parks I can go without.

My funny story - I backpacked with a tent a couple times a year in Colorado when we...

You could join your current guy lines with extensions using knots, but that creates other issues. Why not just use two sets of guy lines? Or just one long set? You can always coil up excess and get...

I don't think trekking poles flex enough like the poles I see in pole mod tarps. Certainly not enough for an inside pole setup. Maybe for an outside pole mod?

Love Lost Creek! My son and I camped at the workers cabin area twice and at another spot on Goose Creek trail on a third trip (he wasn't feeling good). Goose Creek always had a bunch of people on it...

Nice trip. I spent a lot of time in Lost Creek when we lived out there. You're making me miss CO!

I jerry-rigged one of these back in November before I found your instructions. Using an MSS GoreTex bivy and black cold weather bag, an uninsulated air pad, my PLUQ, and wearing a bunch of fleece, I...

It's the lightest sleeping bag in the Military Sleep System - comfort rated to about 30F (I think). The rest of the system is a cold weather bag that's rated below 0F by itself or you can button them...
