Hello Folks!
I am planning a trip to Sespe Hot Springs, but it's not clear to me which at camps it's possible to hang. Has anyone gone out that way recently, and what are the prospects for hanging...
Has anyone had a chance to try out both Ultra TNT and Dutch Xenon Sil .9 to get a good comparison? There seems to be a lot of hype around the Ultra TNT fabrics in the ultra light community, but for a...
This is the first I have heard about the Trail Winders. These look interesting. It looks like they use synthetic insulation rather than down, how well do they pack/compress?
I have played with that a bit, and it does help. The trouble I have here is the primary suspension on my UQ seems to be super taut at the loosest setting. The secondary suspension gives me a little...
I have a full lenght 77" UGQ UQ, and a single layer 11' Hexon 1.2 Dutchware Chameleon. I find when I lay in the hammock without the UQ I can get a perfect lay quite easily, and have wide angle....
I am getting excite for my first hang! I am going to start packing tonight, and will be there late morning or early afternoon Friday (tomorrow). I look forward to meeting you all!
Thank you for fundraising for a great cause! I have some questions about the raffle tickets which I didn't see answers for in the previous posts for this event.
How much are raffle tickets? Are...
@WillieCash Confirming for one. I just sent my payment via PayPal! I look forward to meeting you all!
Fwiw, I had a prototype printed in ABS. I did a 100% in infill so the weight of the part is 23g vs the original 12g. There is plenty of little things I can tweak to improve the design as well as make...
Ah, interesting! I will have to try that, thank you.
I just got my Trekking Treez as a single pole setup, with a couple of boomstakes and an couple of Peggy pegs. While I'm putting it together, I thought of something that I think could make it even...
Is there still space available?
Be careful with CA State Parks. Usually they don't allow hammocks hanging from trees or structures within the park boundaries. Sometimes these parks are managed by a concession company where the...
Sorry to dust off an old thread, but I am curious if there are any plans to do another SoCal hang in 2022 around the same time?
Looking at the maps on Gaia there is a good chance you will be above the tree line:
* Pinto Lake is about 8700'
* Little Five Lakes is around 10400'
* Big Five Lakes is around 10100'
* Lost...
Thank you!
There is one thing I am not clear about. It looks like some hammocks, like a few of the dream hammocks have options for top/underquilt loops, and I got the impression some quilts have...
Just a quick follow-up... I reached out to Ripstop-by-the-Roll and they suggested their ECO 1.1 Silpoly, and also suggested I contact UGQ. Paul from UGQ got back to me today and instructed me on how...
Does anyone know of any manufacturers making tarps with a DWR coating that does not contain PFA / PFC?
I've been looking at the UGQ Penny-Pincher and Dutch Bonded Xenon tarps, but I don't think...
I am less concerned about the grown beetles hopping a ride on my straps than the potential for eggs to get stuck on/in the webbing and transferring eggs from one tree to another. I read that these...
I am just starting out and researching under-quilts and discovered the Superior Hammock and the Starlite. I am the opposite of the OP in that I am in SoCal so hot weather is a factor, and I like the...
hehe :D
I have a couple of thermarest pads I need to try out, the basecamp and the MondoKing 3D XXL. I suspect the MondoKing is going to be way too big and bulky to work well, but the basecamp...
Hello folks!
I started occasionally hanging about 9 years ago, when I bought my first leisure hammock chair from a street vendor on a vacation in Mexico. I started taking it with me on camping...
Hello! I recently went out on my first weekend hammock camping trip, and I learned a lot and had a great nights sleep (the second night anyway.) After I came home I started searching around and...
