Don't get down on yourself, Noob. We were all there. Rule of thumb: Pack for your mission, then un-*** 2/3 of that junk. Even then you'll be overpacked. I ran sniper assist with a Navajo in the...

Thanks Dutch. This video brought me down to tears. If only I'd seen this video 20 years ago.. some innocent people would be alive today.
But unless you're in the Arctic circle, you really don't need it. Just wrap that freaking UQ around above you and clamp it with some battery clamps. You just saved some significant weight and you...
You should have gone for it. The glory goes to those with the guts! Booo - Yaahhhhh!! Bad example of a "Midwesterner"
Slovakia is a beautiful country with wonderful people. We're going there to retire to get out of this dump the USA. Beautiful post.
You've got lots of choices for affordable hammocks. Any of these will more than fit your needs:
ENO DoubleNest Hammock
Everest Double
Kammok Roo Double
Hummingbird Hammocks Ultralight Single...
Forget Dutch. Big turn off to newcomers. They make setting up a stinking hammock like it;s open heart surgery. Whoopies are the best bet. Unless your putting them as payload on a rocket to orbit,...
What the hell is a tomatillo?
These hangs are NOT fun. They could be, but a certain someone is all it takes to poison the vibe. When someone hates their life, it shows.
lol lol lol
Man up Bro.
Not hilarious to use taxpayer money and take police away from real crime to be pawns in your marriage games. Not cool.
Dump her. Life's too short.
Poor guys. Just put on a dress if it comes to this.
The dirty little secret is that whatever you do, you’ll never be as comfortable in a hammock as lying flat. Remember, in in a freaking hammock! But the positives outweigh tents on the ground.
There's no hammock camping like derecho hammock camping! I'm jealous. The wilder, the better.
Let's hope.
What's going on? Too many geezers in the hobby not being replaced by young folks who'd rather play with their plastic phone toys? Too many vendors to support a niche industry? How can we right the...
Camping in the forest is terrifying - no way around it. You're out there with a piece of freaking nylon between you and whatever is out there, and you don't stand a chance. Cavemen figured out that...
Bought from them and completely satisfied. You know what you're getting. Not everyone wants or needs overpriced custom hammocks. Cheap is fine - especially if it means getting more people OUTDOORS...
Dude, what's with all the "Chinese made" comments you post? Seems almost like it's a little bordering on racism.
Wrong place to ask for advice unless you're buying HG or one of the other vendors on this site. This site is a thinly disguised sales funnel, my friend.
HG Asym Tarp is worthless. Not nearly large enough to provide cover. If you're getting wet with a tarp, you're doing it wrong or you have the wrong tarp.
It's not an either/or. Hammocks are good sometimes, and tents are better other times. Neither one is "better" than the the other. Let's all just enjoy getting out there in God's great outdoors...
I thought this site banned insults and put-downs. Nasty attitude and that kind of stuff has no place here.
Get rest and get well. Nothing is more important than your health.
You're the best Shug. Great video.
Personally, I never Vape in a hammock. Just too dangerous.
Not smart to take chances in those temps. No margin of error. If something goes wrong, you’re dead, and likely without realizing it as cognition is the first to go in those temperatures. Let’s...
You are awesome Shug. Thanks!
At those temps and winds, you have to go for a mountaineering tent. Out of the range of hammocks at that point.
Can't go wrong with an Eagles Nest Outfitters ProFly.
That's a shame he was bullied into taking down his post. Seems to happen too often here. If we start belittling peoples' ideas, then just chuck the whole site out. That's not America.
One competition I can think of is the most hammocks hung on 2 trees. Most I ever saw was 14 and it was Ka-Razy! I think there's a video out there of it. The poor SOB on the top had to do a circus...
Get the 30
Pine Barrens, hands down. The rest of NJ stinks. Agree with Silver - DWG is just too crowded.
Off topic. Stay on topic. Hammocks. Vendors. Hammocks. Vendors. Hammocks. Vendors. Hammocks. Vendors.
Absolutely nothing. I have more hammock stuff than I can possibly use. Now I'm in total saving money mode as the economy starts to slip on its way to a crash. Save save save!
Sorry, I call fake on the pics.
Cheap tarp to be punctured by a little twig. Like tissue paper! Agree w/ the tape solution.
I used the Chill Gorilla Fortress tarp in heavy rain and had no problems at all. A tarp isn't rocket science; you could basically throw a large piece of painters plastic and be fine. A lot of the...
Hello from New Jersey!
Break the "rules." Improvise. Have fun.
Nice! Congratulations! Minnesota is a beautiful state.
Sure you can flip it. You can do whatever you want with it. It's yours.
That's funny! lol
Just found out the MS13 gang has site A for a gang initiation.
Check out Shug. His videos cover everything, and he camps out in some cold environments! Always has a positive and upbeat attitude - you can really tell he truly loves our pastime.
An amateur might run det-cord the length of the ridgeline, put a canister of 40-percent every yard and squeeze the blast with gelatin nitrate esters. But you have to remember that any concussive...
Really great tents!
