I tried out my Hyke and Byke Antero 15º hammock back and you can get some diagonal lay in it as it is a bit wider than the sleeping bags they make. Take a look at Shug's pod system and I think he...

hard to believe that they are closing. I have 3 of the different styles and although they are heavier than most kits I really like them!

You probably already have this question answered, but I'm 5'10" and I feel like I'm at the limit of the 3.0; you would want to check out the new XL version

I used stainless steel hinges. I don't know about zinc. I use my stand indoors for the most part so it didn't really make a big difference there.

I used a six inch gate hinge

Hey TT,
I just started using these cargo straps from Harbor Freight http://www.harborfreight.com/set-of-2-1-inch-x-12-ft-lashing-straps-67386.html
I just use a hacksaw to remove the buckle to...

Shug, did you notice that even your ridgeline organizer is looking a bit sad in this pic? Maybe he had a premonition. Green Bean and your vids have inspired many a hammock camper. I hope this...

Did you taper the bottom of your 2 x 2's in order to get the rubber caps on? Where did you get these caps? Are they crutch tips? Thanks.

Old Dog!
Any idea what type of rubber caps may fit on the end of a 2x2? A large crutch tip,but I'm having trouble findings something that big? I'm diggin' the stain on your stand!

Welcome from Ann Arbor! I have a Clark also and I've got a 20 degree underquilt from Hammock Gear and another from JacksRBetter; both are 3/4 length and work quite well for 3 seasons. I have a 0º...

Great project, following along on the thread injector question, could I ask what type of thread you used and the stitch setting you used for the hammock. Thanks.
I used the two sheer panels and...

I had some holes appear in mine, but I caught a pesky squirrel climbing on it while it was pitched!

I've used my hammockgear phoenix 45 x 52 3/4 quilt which worked well, but I had to run the side suspension on the inside of the end hoops in order to get a snug fit on the ends. I also have a full...

Thanks Slowanderer; how has that HG cuben tarp held up for you? I had a small tear appear in mine soon after I got it, but Stormcrow took good care of me.

Thanks Michigan Dave. I just started up with hammock camping last year and I haven't yet been out to Pinckney. Are there any particular parts of the Pinckney/Waterloo area that you suggest I check...

Extremely warm, maybe it's the shape of my head, but even the proper size made me feel like I had a cone on. It might be best to wear it over a fleece beanie (like Shug does in his videos)

Just an overnighter testing some new equipment I recently came into.

I couldn't quite see on your video Shug, do you use bungies to tie down the load; secondly, did you have to fashion some side clasps for them? I'll look back at your Pulk video to review if the...

As always a great video Shug! You read my mind as I was just getting ready to ask you what/how you pack your pulk! The svea is great too! I've had one for 30 years and it's still works like new!...

Sorry, didn't realize there had been so much discussion already. Thanks for the thread links.

What precautions do my fellow hammockers take when thunderstorms are in the area? Being strung up between two trees seems a bit daunting. Leave the hammock and squat down on a closed cell mattress...

Here's another prep night for my Christmas Eve Hang in the backyard and the subsequent morning. Recorded temp for Ann Arbor was 7º

Thanks Brian!

I'll just share that this summer I ordered a MacCat Standard, seam sealed, which came in about a week. The tarp is great and I have no complaints, however at the same time, I ordered 50 feet of...

Thanks for the tips! I keep your "Ultimate Hang" in the Kindle on my phone for quick reference. Great book for us noobs.

Derek,
Do you have any suggestions about using snakeskins with a full length ridgeline in the v configuration? I try to slide my snakeskins back but they get hung up on the V?
