Junior elk is open on the 7th- should be lots of little guys and gals out to bag their first elk.
Plus 1- properly hung I just don't think you need anything other than a stuff sack.
Surprised the dogs didn't wake you earlier. In AZ the bears stay away if you have a dog- dogsbare used to hunt...
I rarely use a tarp with my Clark hammocks. If its raining or snowing absolutely use a tarp but the rest of the time I leave the tarp at home.
Ready to order another Clark.
Can I get a code?
If I am not hunting I like to take a little AM radio and listen to a baseball or other game-
Something about being in the middle of no where, cooking a simple but delicious meal and listening to a...
Wouldn't it make more sense to just hire a service to keep your driveway and sidewalk clear?
That would leave a lot more time to hang...
Headed to New York and DC next week for meetings- glad I...
Hoping for snow tomorrow but next week is looking better with temps into the low teens/single digits at night and moisture headed our way.
Gear is ready and I am planning to jump in one of the...
In those temps with that gear there is no reason you should have been cold- Lots of great suggestions above.
If you have a place I suggest you set it up at the house half a dozen times and and do...
Sorry mod- I intended to sell as a set but broke it up after a bunch of PM requests for one or two items.
All items are paid for and shipped minus Grapenut's Yeti since he is actually camping this...
Cakhol took it first-
Sorry about any confusion-
I will send a list of who bought what right now.
Cahol- purchased the SF and Hammock Gear 20 degree BQ black/brown- per PM
Grapenut- purchased...
Bottom quilt (black and brown) is an HG 20 regular length and width- It is also in brand new condition- I found it when I started going through things this morning.
Man I have a lot of stuff!!!...

Hammock sold pending payment
TQ sold pending payment
I hear you but if CA gets some rain and snow it's all good.
Should be a nice wet winter in AZ too.
We really need it in the West!
Yeti- sold to Grapenut pending payment
Super Fly- sold to Cakohi pending payment
Hammock and TQ still available-
I regularly hunt/hang. My preferred method is a bow but I have rifle hunted out of a hammock camp many times as well. I generally hang a jacket or other clothing item over the barrel and lean it...
Well that would cover it-
Everyone shoot me an offer and I will consider breaking it up.
Thanks
This is going as a set and I will not break it up-
*WB Superfly Tarp, Digital Camo, W/stuff sack. Can't remember the name of the line but I have
The yellow stuff from WB and the doors have...
I had the ridge the first few times I hammock camped but it has not been an issue since.
I think it was the way I was hanging my hammock- I think I had the foot side a little too high and too much...
I asked here because I assume they watch this forum.
The big thing for me is the pack down- especially when you are talking 0 degree plus 4 ounce quilts.
I could not be more pleased with the...
Wonder if HG has any plans to offer 950 down.
I am thinking of buying a new set of quilts and would like to get 950 if possible.
Make no mistake- if the hammock thing really takes off the big guys will come fast.
Prices will come down, innovation will go up... all good things for the shopper.
For the small manufacture...
I think in wet conditions you really can't have too big of a tarp. Especially when it gets to blowing a little as it so often does when it rains.
If rain or wet weather is forecast the Winter...
I suggest that whatever you buy now you keep an eye towards going to an UQ later. If you get a WB or Dutch hammock there are lots of UQ options that will fit beautifully.
Also- keep in mind that...
+1 on what SilvrSurfr said.
Have a super fly, vertex and the HG winter palace- all are great but the HG is in a league of its own.
There is no comparing the stuff available at large retailers and what the cottage vendors supply.
Do some homework on the site and ask questions- you will be much happier and sleep better!
...
Between the vertex tarp Clark offers and the hammocks built in winter cover you should stay very dry. However, as anyone who has every used one knows, the SF is a very good tarp as well. My...
I have 2 Clark NX 250's and a WBBB XLC with the bug net and top cover. Both are excellent systems. I bought the Clarks first and then tried the WB because everyone spoke so highly about them..
My...
I agree that some moisture is unavoidable- However, the right equipment used the right way can mitigate much of that.
I am a big proponent of down but synthetics certainly have their place. If I...
You should never have wet clothes if you have the right system.

Wow- that is some beautiful country!!!
Got a nice deer at the ranch this Fall- was putting some new fence in when a nice buck happened to come by and the bow just happened to be sitting in the...
All of my quilts are stored in laundry bags inside large plastic containers-
The laundry bags are unnecessary but it is an easy way to grab them from the containers and throw them in the truck for...
It's two Clarks and a WBBB for me right now-
Hammocks are like tattoos and guns- you can never have too many.
I can't imagine owning a dog I had to worry about running off-
If you love them set them free and if they leave well-
There are good dogs and there are people who should stick with cats.
Kifaru stuff sacks are by far the best I have ever come across because of the way they compress.
Take a look online and I think you will agree.
I would never do anything but hang the food- it takes minutes to do and increases your safety significantly. I carry all of my food and toiletries (in a small zip lock) in a sil-nylon sack that has...
It's your mom!
There is no dilemma- she gets the best!
Buy yourself another setup, use the old, or don't go to heaven! :)
Can't go wrong with either- I own two NX-250's.
When it was time to get a hammock for my son or friends to use it was Clarke all the way.
Follow the Clark size suggestions and you are good to go.
First- I don't backpack/hammock camp where I have any concern of things going missing- Who camps where they have to worry about their stuff? My biggest worry is will there be water and will it be...
If a squirrel sends a branch down on my cuben and puts a hole in it I am going to eat him for dinner. :)
I am a new hanger so maybe I am dead wrong but-
I purchased my HG 0 with extra down for really cold weather when I would also be using an UQP- I have not had time to set the new rig up- let alone...
My camo HG Winter Palace with 12 foot ridge line arrived in the mail today- this thing is insane!
I would get the same tarp again but I might opt for a 11 foot ridgeline as I think it would get...
I have both 0 and 20 HG TQ and UQ sets and I think you can get by with just one UQ if needed-
My reasoning is that we don't change our mattresses at home based on the season so why change your UQ...
The wind does not bother me near as much if the ground is dry-
On the other hand, you combine rain saturated ground with a good wind storm and you got problems.
The other issue I worry about now...
My cuben winter palace camo 12 foot ridgeline just arrived-
DAMNNNNNNNNN is she nice!
I just set up the WB BB XLC I received today and my initial thoughts are as follows-
This appears to be a very nice hammock and well constructed. Its lighter than the Clark NX 250 and I attribute...
I agree with you. It probably depends on where and how you use your hammock(s). My point was that when I got back to my hammock in the dark after a 5 mile hike with a 120 pound pack- and a heavy wet...
Purchased my first Clark last year and have used it on several hunting trips- including a 7 day elk hunt in some fairly harsh weather.
I could not be happier with the performance. For sure, in good...
