$100ish. Ultimately cheaper the better, but if for $20 more I could get twice the quality I would do it. Looking for the best quality for the dollar. I’m in the southeast. 40 degree range would...

I’m thinking about ditching my pad and going to an underquilt, and possibly a top quilt. I’m not looking to break the bank. This would be primarily a car camping setup, with an occasional backpacking...
Put this in the general section, thought it might get a better response here. I’m wanting to do a diy Costco underquilt, but don’t have a membership. Does anybody know if you have to be a member to...
I’m a big guy, keep this in mind 6’4” 330lbs. I originally used some atlas straps. The sewing on the joints began to give, so I switched and now use 3000lb tree huggers and 1/8 amsteel whoopies....
I’m upgrading to a double layer wide netless hammock. For those that put ccf pads between layers for insulation, do you leave the pad rectangle? Or do you cut the pad mummy shape? Or do you cut the...
Has the charcoal gray made it in yet? It’s not showing as an option on the sight.
Thanks for the invite. I'm going to be able to do it that weekend. Keep me posted on any other times you get out. My work schedule limits my availability, but will try to get out if I can!!
Welcome aboard! I haven't been a member long myself. I'm just up the road in Auburn.
What are the pros and cons of closed cell foam pads for underside insulation. Primarily using a pad inbetween a double layer or on top of a single layer. For those that use CCF pads or reflectix,...
Here is my dilemma. My son and I have gotten into hammock camping over the past year. My wife is wanting to get in on the action a little. So I was thinking about letting her use my hammock and I...
Thanks for all the greetings. I will have to try to touch base with Charlie and see what he has got. I'm not sure if I will make the sipsy meet, to far out for me to commit. I'm would like to make...
Hey Folks, I'm new to the forum, and was wondering when and why are your favorite times to hammock camp?
For me it's from late September to about early April at the latest. Here in the south...
Walmart sells in the boating section a 1/8 braided polypropylene rope. They sell some in the hardware section that looks similar but is a poly/nylon blend. It's not the same. What you want is in the...
I use the same setup. Except I use the 1/8 polypropylene braided cord from the boating section at walmart. I really like that stuff. It's cheap, plenty of colors, doesnt tangle, holds and releases...
War Eagle my friend. My father worked in Alex City for years. I have spent many days up there myself.
I'm from the south and can relate. I use a Kelty Noah 12. Pitched with a continuous ridge line. I just unstake one side and flip it over till bed time or need cover. Depending on your setup placement...
Thanks. May check it out. I would like to see some more setups, see what I want to do with mine.

Hey guys and gals. I have been lurking for a while and decided to join. I am an avid outdoorsman. I'm also an Eagle Scout so camping is nothing new to me. As a scout I loved backpacking but as life...
