I don't know if the material is considered "cheap," but that hammock lasted about 3 years of heavy camping in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. When I decided to swap it for a bridged hammock, I easily...

I used Hammock Gear quilts in the past...the Burrow and Incubator...both rated down to 20 degrees. They were lightweight, packed down small, and kept me plenty warm. I wouldn't have a problem...

Captain Morgan's Private Stock...so smooth.

I’m sure you’ve gotten great advice thus far, but figured I’d throw in my 2 cents anyway.

Whatever shoes you decide on, make sure you leave a little room for the swelling you may experience, as...

I view them more as a hammock for kids...fun colors, short, and only comfortable for the young. Lots of Boy Scouts have them. Won’t catch my butt in one, but to each their own.

If you're car camping, then take along a portable vacuum with the pointed attachment. Then just vacuum up the spiders and their webs when they're on your gear.

Thanks for the info. I’ll pick up a bottle of the concentrated variety once I’m ready to treat everything.

Thanks TrailSlug...the Ridgerunner is on my shortlist. I liked the Hammock Gear quilts, as that's what I know, am used to, and trust. However, the "made-to-fit" Lynx for the Ridgerunner has...

I'll take it...my 6-year-old is getting to the point where he would like to try camping with me, so the Scout may be the thing for him. As for the other two, who doesn't need multiple hammocks...

I'm sure that is a rude awakening for many who head out in the summer and think they don't need anything underneath them. In the summer of '15, when I spent a few months sleeping in my hammock more...

Signal 13 is cop-code for Suspicious/Crazy Person...that'd be me. :lol:

Hi all. I've done quite a bit of hiking/camping in the past. My previous set-up was a Hennessy Hammock Hyperlite that I paired with a Warbonnet Superfly tarp. For warmth, I used Hammock Gear 20...
