I'm surprised no one disputed this and other posts in this thread making the same claim. The DD 3m x 3m tarp, if hung one side-tie-out in from the diagonal turns out to have an 11' ridgeline, just...

Why not both ...
as a fabric item, maybe store where you wouldn't want fabric (e.g., clothes) to get moldy, mildewy, or musty. How about a bedroom closet, on a shelf or down on the floor in a shoe...
If by chance you mean DD Hammocks' 3m x 3m, mine weighs 830g (29 oz) with stuff sack, but no cordage or stakes. It lists at 790g (28 oz), so that's presumably without the stuff sack.
Thanks to all - sounds like I've not overlooked anything obvious: avoid designated sites; if you can't, consider a stand, or hanging on the periphery or stealth if possible.
The one exception...
Most of the time when I camp, whether backcountry or frontcountry, it's at a designated campsite. Nearly always, I can't be sure that there will be suitable trees at the site - even if there's a...
You mean I shouldn't bother putting a skeleton key at the end of my driplines? Dang, I thought for sure they worked, because I've not been hit yet.
They're also good at repelling tigers....
A few years ago I snapped up a few extra Costco Down Throws when I had the opportunity. I didn't do anything with them til last year - I took them out of the rolled cylindrical wrap and shook them...
Thanks for posting these, Stan! I have 3 long sections to go, and 2 of them are covered in your videos above, so those are a great resource! The other is obed - have you done that one? I have done...
Apologies if zombie threads are frowned upon - I was not able to find a policy against it, and I did look.
Just wanted to chime in on finding spots, as I recently had a tough time of it and was...
Are you 11 feet tall? :D
Most torso lengths top out near 22 inches. I'm guessing you were referring to your chest size (circumference).
Thanks BillyBob58. Sorry for the slow acknowledgment; after subscribing to the thread, I quit getting notices of replies after the first couple. Not sure what's up with that. Many good cheap diy...
I like that idea, but it seems to me that in a real rain, just covering the foot end (say) of the hammock with a bag, the bag would be oriented such that some rain would run down the topside bag and...
Resurrecting this thread ... I'm in a similar situation, and had a follow up question for a band-aid solution. If I have a tarp that is too short, and I want to just lay some material down over a...
Thanks BillyBob58! I did just see at least one Shug video of him with the WM 20F bag as a peapod, but IIRC he had a lot of other insulation in there with him. I also saw another video like it, where...
Hi,
Last night while ordering rain pants from Dutch, I saw the sale on netless hammocks, and of course succumbed to ordering an 11 footer. Anyway, it's getting cold and space in the pack is...
anyone try these yet? Reviews? I'm looking for rain pants for hiking, these appear to be lighter than any other option I've seen. How's the waterproofness, abrasion resistance, etc. I understand from...
Hammock has sold, thank you.
time for another bump
Bump again ....
Bump - still have GT SBP
Need more information.
For backpacking or car camping?
Typical overnight temps and humidity where you intend to use it?
Hammock or tent?
If hammock, using pad or underquilt? Temp rating of...
No, sorry; no near-term plans to go thru ATL. I do so periodically but just nothing on the horizon.
Noah 9 sold to TiedUp.
Hammock still available.

Bump -
Noah 9 and SBP still available.
That's correct ... I am selling locally - wherever locally happens to be at the moment, i.e., should I first have an opportunity to cross paths with someone from further away - whether I'm traveling...
Wouldn't stop most returning loyal customers, no. But it might stop some new ones, and that's the real problem.
Noah 12 sold. Will update top post accordingly.
$15.99 may be right for where I was too - I couldn't remember exactly, and guessed it was $3 off, just as the new price is $3 more.
Marmaduke, they've been 700 fp since I first noticed them about...
Yes. But prices up. IIRC they were $23 for 1 here, up from $20 a year ago (and $17 on clearance in spring). The link in post 2 is priced 25% up from a month ago.
Unfortunate on the consumer side,...
Thank you for your interest, roogles.
It's not that you're late; rather, I'm only selling in-person, locally (and regionally as my travels allow). I don't travel through Pike County OH,...
1. Kelty Noah's Tarp 9 - $20
2. Kelty Noah's Tarp 12 - $25 [SOLD]
3. Grand Trunk Skeeter Beeter Pro - $30
All items in excellent condition.
Hammock was upgraded with Dutch's cinch buckles on a...
Welcome!
Going to be startlingly cold next week in CMH. My son is at OSU and we hope it'll revert to the mean by the time he has to go back.
Resurrecting this old thread -
I was out hiking yesterday when a dad set up a couple hammocks for himself and his kids. He had them nearly horizontal, unloaded, which concerned me. Then, when he...
Ugh! Exactly what happened to me today on a CDT project. Might have been user error in some way, but I did find the shell fabric was much harder to keep a straight stitch straight on than other...
Same here, on the first part. I read that it was super light (true) and highly visible (true, even if not reflective). But I found it terrible for friction knots and it tended to fray badly when...
Bravo! Looks fantastic. You're going to have a lot of people ask you where they can get one for themselves.
I was out on the Cumberland Trail last weekend and although I put a generous coating of DEET on my face, ears, and neck, the mid-morning bugs would not take no for an answer. I was being dive-bombed...
Little-known fact: the LOTR screenplay originally had this for the dialogue at 2:08:

For me, it's no contest: UST Bug Head Net, $1.50. Works really well (better than bug spray in some conditions), weighs next to nothing, and so far, holding together with no tears. I'm shocked at how...
Hello to both of you - also from Chattanooga.
Hard to see out of it, compared to black netting.
Thanks for the warning about camo tree straps!
In general, I would think on sunny days, darker tarps will heat up more than lighter ones. But...
Lucky! My KNT12 is barely over 10' across the middle ... i.e., it's deeply cat-cut. But I guess it saves weight!
*** bump ***
Still available ...
bump .....
Hey N8! Nice day today ...
It is 1.452 kg = 51.2 oz = 3.20 lbs
(without stuff sack or storage sack)
Bump ... and price drop to $100
Security certificate expired?
Yes, it is (though marketed as "600+" fill ... not sure what that means, but I can guess).
Advantages: less risk of de-lofting in high humidity environments, like the AT; lower cost. ...
