I just came off of a Scout campout in west Georgia where we hit 30 degrees this morning. My set up includes HG 20 Econ top- and under-quilts and a UGQ Winterdream tarp. I slept in in hiking pants and...

Cedar Ridge has a video comparing all three.

I ordered the 20 degree UP top quilt for my son during their Black Friday sale. I can’t wait to compare it to my...

Are you sure you got the correct lay direction for you? I’m a head right / feet left sleeper. If I try to flip in my symmetrical hammock, I just never get comfortable.

Sorry to hear about the bad experience. Our Scout troop uses Raven Cliffs Falls as our backpacking and hammocking training trip for our newer Scouts every year. As matter of fact we were there on Nov...

I have a remnant of calendared 1.1 ripstop that would be a great outer layer for a lightweight summer underquilt. Here in Georgia, I won't need a ton of extra warmth, but I would like to have a more...

One of my most recent hangs was with my son's Scout troop at Raven Cliff Falls in GA. What we thought was an absolutely gorgeous day (highs in the 50's, expecting lows in the mid-30s), turned into a...

Thanks to all for the input. Doors it is.
Now time to brace for the eye roll when I tell my wife I need more gear. :rolleyes:;)

I'm looking to upgrade my current no-name tarp to something with better coverage - trying to decide between doors or not.

For those of you with both versions, what drives to you take the tarp...

Our Boy Scout Troop went to Camp Daniel Boone last year during the 3rd week of June. I took an old Sports Authority-branded 40* bag and was plenty warm. I also used a Klymit Static V as additional...

They have a 1.9oz ripstop that looks pretty good. Just wondering if anyone here has ever ordered from them and, if so, what was your experience.

10-4 on no shorts today. I wish Mother Nature would make up her mind.

Yes - I added the Knotty Mod to try and take up some of the floppy fabric. My son says he likes the cocoon effect, especially...

Enjoying a beautiful Georgia spring day (except for the bleepin pine pollen) in my first DIY. Coming from a no-name that was 78” wide I thought I would go with 70” wide fabric. Still too much loose...

I come from a cycling background where there are certain style cues that show the work of a pro. For example, when building a wheel, you should be able to read the hub logo through the valve hole in...

Here’s my backyard hanging spot. We live about 25 miles west of Atlanta.

Well, the temps finally dropped enough to get out and try the new quilts, so we set up in the back yard today. Here are the son’s new underquilt and daughter’s top quilt in action. Temps were in the...

I bought a pack of these in both black and red to put on my and my sons non-HG underquilts, etc. They are small at 1 1/2 inches long, but I have had no issues so far.

Min / Max is for each 24 hours. That period starts when you insert the battery. So if you insert battery at 12 noon, then your 24 hour period runs noon-to-noon.

I have no reason to doubt that HG would accommodate me. I've had nothing but good (albeit limited) experience with them.

The product price / shipping cost game you see in a lot of online...

I’ve tried multiple times all the way to pressing the final checkout button and continue to get the same results. If it’s an error with their system, that’s what’s preventing me from pulling the...

Don’t forget to take into account shipping cost. As much as I like the thought of a Hammock Gear PolyD hammock, I’m not quite ready to pay $12 shipping for something that weighs less than a pound....

Hammock Gear has this on their website under the Shock cord listing...

And finally part 2 of this project is done. And just in time... my wife wants her sewing machine back.

Daughter's top quilt with Robin's Egg Blue outer/gray inner (color in photos is not...

I hope to have part 2 completed tomorrow. Using diygearsupply’s topquilt guide to make a quilt for my daughter. Instead of Velcro, I did add in a separating zipper. I’ll post pics as soon as I’m done...

I might have just found a new hobby. My wife let me enter her domain (she has a degree in fashion design and merchandising) and was gracious enough to teach an old dog a new trick. I’ve wanted to try...

Here is the link to one of the thermometers I found on Amazon. They call it a weather station.

Oh wow. Thanks for the suggestions. Another rabbit hole of data to disappear into. I can hear my wife's eyes rolling around already!

@ HandyRandy,

Not looking for anything extravagant. It's just my geeky side coming out and wanting to track temps while testing different set ups. Also wanting to track for historical purposes...

Not sure this is actually weather protection, but does anyone take a digital thermometer with them when hanging? I'd like to find something to hang on my ridgeline but everything I've been able to...

Ordered my Econ Burrow 20 to match my Econ Incubator 20.
Should have pulled the trigger on the 1.6 PolyD hammock in Gray - looks like its gone now.:crying

Forgot about this little hang until going through our pictures from the summer. Threw one of the spare hammocks in the car just in case we had we needed it during one of my son's summer baseball...

Christmas is right around the corner. Time to start dropping some not-so-subtle hints to the better half.

This last weekend I went straight from a Boy Scout campout, spending two nights in the hammock, to hitting the road for work. I can't begin to tell you how horrible that hotel bed felt. All I...

I always thought of burrow as an animal's home vs. burro, which is a donkey.

Sticking with that theme, how about Snuggery?

I'm finding issues browser-dependent. Firefox nothing noted yet. Chrome, no issues. IE - gaps and slow moving.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Hammock Gear and the way they ship their quilts inside the cotton storage sack. Ordered my first UQ from them (Econ 20...
