Buy it now for $95!...
Here's my new stove : the OneTigris Tiger Roar. I got the Superfly over the summer and the stove last week. So far I've used it twice and its burned great!:lol:

I've had a Snugpak Cocoon for several years now. I have used it successfully into the mid 20's on it's own, and into the mid teens with the Snugpak UQ + TQ inside. For me its got enough width to get...
I use the DD Hammocks Magic Carpet XL with my hammocks a lot of times, especially when weight isn't an issue, and use Tyvek or a Grabber emergency blanket/tarp under my tents. TIP : To soften and...
SOLD to Mudsocks !
I bought this a few months ago and upon trying it on, realized the sleeves are just toooo long for me to comfortably wear it. Unfortunately for me, Snugpak had just discontinued this item and stopped...
Here is the link to the other thread on this tarp : https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php/160803-New-full-coverage-winter-protection-from-Onetigris-Seems-like-good-price-and-quality. I...
I just started a thread on this as well not realizing someone had already made one. Here is the link...
I have some of the same concerns. I'm almost glad I got my WB hot tent before I saw this. Knowing me and my " impulse spending habits" lol, I would have jumped on it immediately.
Just came across this and thought I'd share it here. Its available for pre-order now at a decent price. What does everyone think :confused:? Im still on the fence since its a new product, but I might...
"If you want a blanket take a fleece fitted sheet and turn it into a liner for the quilt, the fleece feeling will not feel as cold when you climb into the hammock.... so there is less shock to the...
That's awesome! Glad another forum member got it that will truly appreciate its downy goodness! I absolutely LOVE all of my HG quilts: custom -10° 'Bator/extra short sewn Burrow, 20° Bator +4oz/sewn...
I just won on a set of Wilderness Logics Lazy Slug tubes, and had the high bid on a spin drift until today. 5 days to go on it though so we'll see how it plays out.Good luck on the quilt!
Np. A 30° Inferno UQ from Sierra Madre just went up and so did a JRB UQ. Good luck!
And here's a 20° Burrow : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hammock-Quilt-Hammock-Gear-20-Degree-Burrow-Standard-Length-Wide/293784684847?hash=item4466ee892f:g:UCcAAOSwm7JfiMyN, AND a single layer RR :...
I've gotten some amazing pieces of gear off of eBay in the past few years : down quilts, a Ridgerunner, tons of Snugpak clothing & gear, hurricane lanterns, a wool blanket bivi by Mitch from the...
I've got a few vids on my YT channel that might help : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdlR64khg0auvnVhQ3zRTNQ?view_as=subscriber
I've had success stacking quilts on my RR to achieve lower temps. Here's a vid I did that shows how I do it, but this is only one way.

I've modified a $7 Ozark Trail bag liner from Wal-Mart into a TQ liner, and also modified my Snugpak Thermalon bag liner as well. You can see them in this vid that I did on different bag liners...
...
If you need a tester, I nominate myself lol.
I think your absolutely right. I felt zero air flow with the windows closed so condensation will absolutely be an issue when it gets colder. It will be interesting to see if it can be useful at all,...
Here it is guys, the SHEL. My curiosity got the best of me and I picked this one up off of eBay for pretty cheap. Mine definitely won't be water proof and it got pretty stuffy after about 30mins on a...
+1. The $25 Ridge Outdoors winter cover that I got off of Amazon is a good fit, but I'd definitely rather have an HG cover that fit perfectly. I would get the HG hammock and a Ridge Outdoors cover...
Yeah, that sounds MUCH better. And -22 is still a decent rating
Np. I also started a thread in the HG forum that has pics and the vid...
No problem. It definitely works better when the pull outs are configured how they are in the pic I posted later on, as opposed to the first set of pics. I definitely think that with a few small...
Do they! It's getting absolutely ridiculous at this point. Lol
Lol
This is a bag that would keep even YOU warm, lol!
Here are some better pics with the hammock pulled out better..

Awewome! I'm glad I took a chance on this thing fitting and honestly thought it would only kinda work and I would need to modify it. If I can answer any questions definitely let me know!
No problem. The only places that don't work perfectly are the first pack hooks closest to the ends on each side. The toggles on the cover are fairly large, while the pack hooks are attached to your...
The perimeter attaches with just toggles and there is a loop at each end that the hammock goes through as seen in the 2nd picture above. Also, It can be used with or w/o the hammocks netting...
Absolutely. The quality is what you'd expect from a $25 cover vs the ones that WB and Dutch offer for example, but it's a great budget option I think and could easily be a diy project or made by a...
I started this thread : https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php/159742-Universal-top-cover the other day in the weather protection forum, but wanted to have it here as well since it works...
I love my new HG hammock but have always wanted a top cover for it since both my XLC & Chameleon have one. I just found a new product from Ridge Outdoors on Amazon that's a top cover for their 11' ...
And the newer version of this bag, the "Softie Antarctica" , is only rated to -20°F : https://www.snugpak.com/outdoor/softie-antarctica#
Yeah, I too like knowing that my HG quilts are extremely...

I think a mix of both possibly, or most of us crazy ppl here on HF that live all year waiting for the coldest days so we can leave our warm houses and sleep outside, hoping for a new personal low...
At 104oz and 10×12" when packed, it's compression sack could be used as a small day pack itself lol!
I tested some new clothing I just got from Snugpak the other day in our -20° deep freezer at work. I also tried out my HG hood in there and it kept my head almost too warm while moving around. Once I...
Or my 8yo daughter, lol. This is definitely not a bag for backpacking that's for sure!
After 2 months of travel time due to Covid, my Antarctica RE sleeping bag from Snugpak FINALLY arrived today. First, let me say that this is Snugpak's coldest rated bag with a range between -4° & -...
absolutely. That's one sleeping dragon I DO NOT wanna tangle with lol. One wrong move and ill come home to " my corner" turned into " her craft station" with a sad, twisted pile of fabric, string and...
lol, it's more like " stay in your corner". I've now taken over most of the closet as well as my corner, plus added a dresser and a shelving unit...... Hasn't gone over too well lol.
I recently rounded out my HG line-up by adding a 20° Incubator & 40° Phoenix, so now I've got a custom -10° premium set, +20° and +40° Econ sets, a bugnet hammock w/ rl loft & orginizer, Xenon snake...
I should have clarified, that does sound pretty stupid doesn't it?lol. I meant to make a distinction between " average" winter temps and just the coldest part of the year or " deep...
