As I understand it the Polar Vortex is always there, when it weakens the cold comes down and warms up Alaska. I was in Upper Minnesota in the late 90s and I had a -50f day (yes that cold) but on the...

After reading all 62 pages I came up with this plan. Easier transport, minimal pipe, most adjustability and what I feel is a solid build. Your thoughts??
OK THEN, this all seems to be a good plan. I hope to never need to do this. I only asked so I would have the best plan ahead of any chance I experience this scenario. Not something I ever plan to...
On trips I carry my UQ , Woobie, poncho, Top Quilt , space blanket tarp thingy (Grommets and nylon web, SOL I think) and a real fist sized space blanket ( Cheap and thin), plus my Tarp ECT.
If...
I think the same on my motorcycle days. One or the other is tolerable, but both just sucks. And yet, ….. some days Suck. Tales for the grandchildren stories.
I saw someone posted about using...

I have read all 35 pages of this thread and today at HD I found that 1" EMT will tight fit inside of the 1 3/8"s OD fence top rail w/ Swedged end. I realize 4 sections is not sound...
Thank you for the ideas, I am a Noob for hammocks and Have Hanging Fear Issues on trips. I plan to sell My Motorcycle trailer to pay for a Tensa4. But I will loose the ability to carry My KampRite...
Thanks, looks good to me
Sorry to barge in here, but what is available to hang at a camp ground or what ever south of La Crosse?? I travel From Minneapolis to East of Janesville, WI once or twice a year. Being a Hanger Noob,...
Now back to the pillow part. How about a Calf ridge pillow for my Chameleon??
Happens to me all the time in life. Your not alone. I will definitely follow that. Please post.
Cheapest diagonal lay UQ I have found,

Anyone have costs for Final assembly of the kit and tips that has used this kit??
And Where do you get the Rail and Leg Extension Plug. I do not see it on Dutch's site or on Tato's site
Just the very question I was kinda looking for an answer to. Only I do not have a down Parka. Motorcycle jackets which weigh a lot and really only block the wind. Extra gear is only a woobie and...
Same here, practicing in the house and garage for hanging. What you lost in the divorce was small, compared to what you will have and gain in the next 5 years. Trust me on this, it is a 5 year plan...
Thanks for the add. I have a Chameleon 1.6 fabric ,Dutch bling= Side car, side sling, 2-peak shelves, bug netting, ridge line organizer. 15' Beatle buckle straps with Dutch clips sewn in.
One...
HAhaha,
But I will tell you from experience that a downy dryer sheet in a zip lock bag for my cycle gear will only go so far. One in the helmet liner does a very poor job . Sun and air I have...
Not out of or thru the top quilt but around the edges not held down of the top quilt every time you move. Just my thoughts
I am New to this Hammock camping, I have never even slept in my new set up outside yet. Cold is not my thing. But can this be a vapor leak? A foot box is sewn together=no leak and your feet hold it...
I'm Liking this style. seems more stable, but not as long lasting. But who am I kidding, I may use it 2 or 3 times in my life anyway. ??
Just looking to not be on the ground on my motorcycle...
Awesome information, Thank you. 50 bucks for a pole. just not worth the effort to reinvent the wheel. I will spend the 50 bucks.
Thank You. Maybe I need Trek polls then? for a motorcycle? I hate hiking. I will look into them. Seems to be a strong light solution to a Big stick. Then with 2 trees I have a Porch mode, HMM.
I am trying to get prepared for a motorcycle trip and want more information on a one tree hang.
You just never know.
I have only seen maybe 2 vids on u-tube and want more information.

Very nice, I need to find a new sewing machine On craigslist. Mine took a dump. You have re inspired me, Thank You
So I am looking at a 14' diagonal in my office and would like suggestions for a height on my Eyelet screws? I will use a Marlin spike hitch on my sewn in beetle buckle suspension. I need to make...
Me 3, what bike are you riding and how does it work. I have a trailer so it would be much easier for me.
177578 This is what I purchased for my UQ.$ 80.00. Then I ordered a Dutchware Cameleon. I needed a real hammock to test it on. Dutch had the Cameleon out for shipping the next day= WOW. Thanks Dutch....
7.50 for a ridgeline. That should do it. Then I will be able to compare apples and apples. and work out the kinks.
Thank you all.
Understandable . All I know now is If I am not covered I get cold. That is My biggest concern. Any clips and areas of holding the UQ in place for my sleep is my biggest concern. And a wind break. ...
Maybe the dutchware is the best test. I would need to learn how to tie a ridgeline on it to make a direct comparison though. I can learn.
Nice thought. Group hang is a great idea too.
All...
I looked at Arrowhead equipment, It was missing the outside shock cord. I guess I could add it , just was an extra costs to get a seal around the edges. Plus only 3 loops the whole length seemed a...
Got it, Thank you. I just do not have a chameleon yet, and need to see if I can get along with my current hang. I have contacted Dutch on the asym and sym hangs. Before I go out there and make a...
WOW,
Taking into account the written word can be misinterpreted I see your point on a real UQ. Yet I do not wish to spend the $ right now and it seems a 44" HG would not be in my best interest...
mbarr10 here signing in. Thank you for the ad.
Very new to hammock camping. I have seen almost every vid on U-tube and continue to find more. I motorcycle camp and not very interested in the most...
New member here, I have looked and not found anything on this newer UQ ( OneTigris Twilight Trekker Hammock Underquilt) . I have a cheap 9.5' hammock ( ETROL , 40 bucks with bug net, one sided...
