bump still looking !
Does anyone have an atomic or mini atomic that they'd part with ?
I tried it once expecting Temps in the 70s. boy did I regret it.... never leaving TQ or UQ home.
I'd recommend sorting upgrade list by weight and cost. whatever will give you the most weight reduction per dollar is where I'd start.
You could save a pound for your sleeping bag, but it'll...
my vote goes to the loco Libre operator 50 degree quilt.
I have a trail lair in mtn 1.2. I'm 150lb soaking wet. I don't remember the weight rating, but it feels supportive.
I like these door clips https://dutchwaregear.com/product/tarp-door-hook/
works best with 3/32 shock cord
I like the blue on blue. I ordered an orange 20 degree wooki, but if I ever get different temp wooki, I'd go for blue on blue.
can't darken that true blue too much. it's gorgeous! mine is a single layer 40d dream. it should be around 20oz, which is a little heavier than my other hammocks, but the wooki is lighter than my...
that true blue is beautiful! thanks for sharing
I just took the plunge and bought a true blue El Dorado and an autumn orange 20 degree wooki. I'm pretty excited! Anyone care to share their El Dorado photos to keep my hype hyped? Thanks in advance!
I've been comparing underquilts fill rating per oz to different vendors. I'm looking for feedback to see if individual customers can report any noticeable differences between perceived warmth ratings...
That's quite the vote of confidence. I've been looking at the .71 cloud fabric, and I've been skeptical. For $40, maybe I'll let someone buy me one for a gift one day :)
Final price drop - Gregory Optic 58 $100 shipped.
Comes with two different top closures. It's a cinch closure, but you can put either the brain (with the pocket), or you can take the brain off...

I have a few items for sale that are no longer seeing use.
Item number one is a custom 30 degree Loco Libre underquilt. It's a "saver series" which uses 800 fill power duck down. It's dimensions...
I love my tenaa4 for camping in the backyard. it's an important piece that allows me to test my setup in different temperatures and conditions. I use a warbonnet Superfly that has a center pole mod...
here's the response I got from the good folks at dutchware gear
Hi Chris,
Thanks for contacting us. Of course the total weight depends on some of the options that you choose, but in general:
...
anyone know how much a chameleon would weigh with the .71 with/without a bugnet?
it got sucked in to the splice. it didn't come with a bead unfortunately.
I got a pair of whoopie slings many years ago that didn't have a bead to prevent the whoopies from getting sucked into itself. Well, one of the whoopies got sucked into itself. I can't seem to get...
I love the versatility of the warbonnet Superfly. I got one with the center pole mod and the center guy outs, and it is fantastic. it works well in fair weather , and it's a blessing to have when...

If you end up sleeping better in a hammock, the extra pounds of weight won't matter! I'd go with the chameleon because you will be able to explore all of the options Dutch offers.
have you tried wrapping the hugger around the tree twice ?
That was my exact worry. I put my whole body weight furthest from the roots of the tree and jumped on the trunk a bit. all of my weight was on the bad side, and the tree felt good. I risked it and...
Anyone ever hang from a horizontal tree? I was nervous about the idea at first, so I climbed up the tree and jumped on it a bit where I planned to put my suspension (furthest away from the base of...
the trail lair is a supremely comfortable hammock. great choice!
zing it is my favorite. I've had the same line on my older tarp going on 5 years with no problems yet.
I have a silnylon tadpole tarp. I almost bought the new silpoly offering. I wish I had purchased it in retrospect. Marty and Wilderness logics were wonderful. I miss them...
That might be the ticket! Do you know the cost difference between the DCF fabric and the .77 silnylon?
That appears to be silnylon rather than silpoly? I can't find any .7 silpoly online.[/QUOTE]
Yes! My mistake. The paladin tarp is .7 silnylon.
you could check out the hammock gear package.
https://hammockgear.com/the-wanderlust-complete-kit-for-hammock-camping/
it's $230 if you choose the option without insulation.
bonus points for blocking the house entrance! looks like your doing great!
I'm also in the process of making this fabric choice and lack of ripstop is concerning me too. There are plenty on here that have these .9 tarps with good experience but only one person has posted...
the tensa4 is well worth the learning curve. it took me a few tries to get it right, but once i got it, it's fantastic. I watched shug's video of how he set it up which was extremely helpful. ...
I don't have any of those , but to me, the XLC seems the coolest. I think warbonnet's add on features are another plus that you should consider. I love how the top cover and underquilt protector...
I live in south louisiana. I have one 20degree full length UQ, one 40 degree 3/4 length underquilt, and one 30 degree topquilt.
the 40 degree 3/4 length UQ gets the most use by far. I might use...
I had it for such a short time, but I do not recall any kind of grid or pattern to it.[/QUOTE]
I checked with the manufacturers who produce .93 membrane silpoly and .9 xenon sil. Neither has a...
Also check out Enlightened Equipment Paladin. Claimed 8oz or so (and the claimed weights are always really close to actual) although tarp width is less than HG std DCF hex. However, with cordage it...
I read your review of the .93 membrane silpoly a while back. I'm thinking of avoiding it too. Did the .93 silpoly have a ripstop grid?
thanks for your insight!
I'm looking to get a new standard hex tarp with a weight of 10oz or less. I know dyneema is the king of lightweight, but i wanted to explore other options. I know of membrane silpoly .93, and xenon...
