I tried a quilt + pad setup on a recent trip in Sweden - lesson learned, underquilt + pad is colder than an underquilt alone. I think this was because the pad pushed the quilt away from my body,...

Welcome from Somerset! I have a BB XLC double layer as well as a single layer. I used to use a sleeping pad, and while the double layer does hold the pad in place a LITTLE bit better, there are...
Welcome from Somerset!
Welcome Phil! I'm an American ex-pat, now living in the UK. I was recently hammock camping in Sweden as well, on the Kungsleden trail up in Lapland. Luckily missed the mosquitoes! I posted a trip...
Well it would be hard to beat Wales for natural beauty, definitely no need to go up north for you. Lots of places to hang a hammock around the Welsh-English border, I’ve enjoyed walks with my hammock...
To be fair, the pictures make the weather look better than it was @ObdewlaX. I just didn’t get out the camera during all of the rain and cold and grey. I still enjoyed the walk in that weather, but...
Hi Josh, there are a few of us in the UK on HammockForums. Gadget will probably stop by to say hello too, he's set up a hammock website for UK campers at <http://hammock-uk.forumotion.com>. I'm not...
Thought I'd write up a few notes about my recent walk in Lapland for the archives. I read over and over online that you should not do this walk with a hammock, and I wanted to set the record straight...
I've just been out on a trip which I knew would require some pitches on the ground, so I took both a pad and an underquilt. I have to agree with Trailslug, the pad actually pushed the underquilt away...
@derpingit, when thinking about hexon 1.0 versus hexon 1.6 weight limits, I think it's worth considering real-world use. I weigh about 160 lbs, but sometimes I sit in the hammocks with boots and some...
Welcome! I'm in Somerset, near the Dorset / Wiltshire border.
Hello from Somerset!
Welcome from Bruton, in Somerset!
I use both. I like the CRL for the ability to hang up stuff to dry out under the tarp (requires that you run the CRL under and not over of course.). But I find it easier to get the tarp taut with two...
I think the Kelty Noah 12' is a great tarp and actually well-suited to a certain kind of backpacking. I have a WB Mamajamba as well as the Noah 12. When I'm solo or when I think rain is very...
To me your plan sounds workable, but I'd echo the advice of others -- try it out in your backyard overnight. Hammocks are colder than you'd think, especially in the small hours of the morning when...
I got a 3-season Yeti for my WBBB XLC, largely because I liked the hammock so much and liked the idea of a system built to go together. In hindsight that's probably not such a big factor in what...
One of ours is a Hexon 1.6, with a Fronkey style bug net. Suspension is standard whoopie hooks. Pretty great and lightweight setup. For Dutch bling, on this hammock we have nothing other than the...
Enter me in the giveaway please. What a great way to outfit the family!
Just ordered myself a Jarbridge UQ. Looking forward to trying it out!
That DH sounds like it's going to rock your world, especially upgrading from a Kammock Roo. I also started out with the Roo (a very thoughtful Father's Day gift) and found it was a gateway drug. I...
Thanks for the suggestions! My wife liked the idea of the White Mountains, and we're looking into the other places. I'd love to make the hang in Maine, but unlikely to be able to get away during...
I have a Noah 12 and really like it. I agree with the frequent criticism that it's a little difficult to keep it perfectly taut -- my WB MJ tarp is much better in this regard. It's not super light,...
Friends, I'm looking for some pointers to beautiful places to camp with my wife and 6 year-old son at the end of August. We've got about 9 days we can take. My wife would love to be in a cabin by a...
I just saw your post, I have the Kelty Noah 12 and I wouldn't consider it a very light color. Putty is a good description, a kind of pale cocoa color, grey-brown. I think it's a great color for a...
I rarely introduce myself on new fora, but this place seems like it attracts a wonderful (and slightly crazy) group of people and I wanted to have introduced myself before plunging in with questions...
