I have an 11 ft Dream Hammock's Sparrow - Symmetrical and love it. Went about 70 inches wide. Not only can you lay head and feet to either side , it has no dedicated head/foot end. Makes it much...
I know it is hard to see in my pictures but the insulation I had made full size, so it is the full rectangle if that makes sense. I toss and turn in my sleep so I wanted full coverage head left ft...
Here are some pics of the hammock. Really awesome. It is about 50 degrees today and with the top cover on it is quite warm inside. set up was a breeze as you can imagine. I only got about 5 minutes...
I hope to get some hang time this weekend. The only downside to this set up is weight and bulk, however I have a radial compression bag for it and the weight is what it is - a double layer hammock...
I believe I am the first recipient of the new insulated hammock. I reached out to Jared in February this year with an idea for an insulated hammock that could be full width and a 12 ft hammock. 50...
Welcome! A big HELLO from Manchester, Michigan
I use daisy chains from Dutchware and climbing rated carabiners - could not be simpler. I am 6'1" and 300lbs. angle of setup is critical as this changes the load on the straps
I am 300 lbs and need a firm material. The stretch I experience is because of my weight and the material used. The Inferno works just fine as long as you attach it on the diagonal. I have attachment...
I had a Ninox but got rid of it due to too much stretch for my liking. I also have the 0 degree UQ from them and it worked (and still works on my Dream Hammock Sparrow). Try connecting the UQ to the...
Welcome! I have a sister in law that lives in Livonia. I am originally from Dearborn Heights near I-94 and Telegraph but now reside in Manchester - South of Chelsea.
Glad to have you here
Welcome,
I am 6'1" @310 lbs. I have a Dream Hammock 11 ft wide as possible (around 70"). Get a double layer or reach out to papasmurf (Randy @ dreamhammocks)and he will help you out.
Jared from...
I use my SMR underquilt on a Dream Hammock Sparrow. I had the underquilt hooks added on all of my hammocks. If you have these hooks connect the UQ from the hooks closest to the hammock ends on the...
Welcome to the forum. I grew up right near Telegraph and Van Born so I know Allen Park very well. Glad to have you here. I am also an avid collector/restorer of pressure lanterns and old stove...
Michigan Man welcome to the forum! Between Toledo and Detroit huh? I am close - in Manchester.
So sorry things are very crazy at the moment. I have not forgotten about you
I have a couple - is it imperative it is the "R" model or would you also be interested in the older version. It will take me some time to dig them out of storage to see if I have the pan and handle...
Welcome from Manchester, Mi
I second the Simply Light Designs. I have 1 in 40* and one at 20* that is full rectangular. Love them both. No fiddle factor no air gaps.
Big Agnes mtnGLO LED Tent & Camping Lights. They can be found on Amazon.
Welcome to the Forum from Manchester Michigan
I am 6'1" and 300 lbs. I absolutely love my double layer 1.6 HyperD. No stretch and very comfortable lay. I went with 65" wide. Single layer hammocks have some stretch to them for my weight and I...
Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!!
Any chance of a Christmas sale on these new wide tarps?
quoting BillyBob "Also, in the field under normal use, I have never had any trouble with a synthetic bag vs moisture. Not saying you can't, just saying I haven't, on trips where my friends had...
That was me that asked about the weight due to moisture build up. I have never done a downtown study of this but by experience only I have stopped using down and have switched to climashield (APEX)....
I too purchased (3) fully symmetrical 6.0 APEX UQ's from Jared and absolutely love it (the other 2 went to daughter and friend). At 6.0 it still compresses nicely and the symmetrical cut allows me to...
Suspension is the same as trailwinder - I have 11 ft hammocks and the proto was made as a 10 footer but I adjusted the next two to be 9.5 feet - this seems to be the perfect length that removes any...
So a follow up to my 40* sidewinder - love it BTW. I had an issue with the fact that I own a hammock that allows right or left lay (symmetrical). With an asymmetrical UQ you cannot do this so I...
Just a question for those concerned with the weight difference (especially on week long or longer trips). Have you ever weighed your down quilt before and immediately after the trip to see how much...
where did the link to the second video go?
Welcome to the madness! :) I own 3 DH hammocks and love them all. HyperD is SUPER comfortable and nice against the skin. I alos have 2.2 hex outer for a very stiff and flat lay. The Smurf's are...
Simply Light Designs - Just ordered a 40 * and love it so I placed another order for a 20* - Jared is awesome and will customize to your needs.
THIS! They also make a foam glue "tack" product that remains flexible that you can spray on to the entire face and lay the APEX on to glue it down. This can be done to both inside faces. I am sorry...
I had the ties added so there would be no chance of the UQ gapping on the sides. The ties match the location of the UQ tieouts provided on the Sparrow I believe 16 inches up from the center (or down...
I use Dutchware fleas with the continuous loops and leave them attached to my tarp larksheaded on. I keep the tarp lines attached to the stakes and just roll the lines up on the stakes and keep them...
I use a biner and clip it to my hammock suspension at the foot end like "cmoulder" shows. Works great, does not affect lay and is weather protected under my tarp.
OK, so I had a chance to use my new 40* ASYM UQ and I LOVE it. I am a huge fan of synthetic insulation and this thing just rocks. I have had bad experiences with down getting wet and then never...
OK So I gotta tell you guys - I decided to purchase a new asym insulated UQP from Jared. I place my order late last night 9/2. By 7 am 9/3 I receive an email stating order was received and in the...
Welcome from Manchester Michigan
BillyBob58,
Really good to know. I have the inferno as well and have used it this Summer attached to my Sparrow with great success. I am not one for "fiddle factor" and have had mediocre success...
I have an Aqua Quest , Chill Gorilla and a DD tarp. All are good. If weight does not matter I recommend the DD tarp XL that way you can have doors on it as well.
Me too! Looking forward to replies.
Really loved the two dangerbirds so I ordered a Sparrow wide as possible symmetrical at it is THE most comfortable hammock I have ever slept in. You will LOVE it for sure.
There is currently a massdrop offer for $229.99 for the Enlightened Equipment Enigma Quilt
Fantastic bags I own 5 (for the family). There are a lot of wild claims about the bags but I have experienced at least one of them which sold me on them. It was a cold wet rainy camping trip in the...
Sounds like you have the same issue I do when using an underquilt. I have standard width and as wide as possible hammocks. The original BB, the XLC , a Sparrow and a Thunderbird. ALL of them give me...
Just saw this morning that they reached a stretch goal and are now offering a double layer hammock - giving this a second look as I already own one of their underquilts and am impressed the product...
"60” no taper should be 60” at the foot end as well". Thank you but I was referring to since the baffles are filled (and overfilled in this case) will that reduce the finished width due to the...
Hello everyone! I am looking to purchase my first top quilt and have decided to get a Bandit XL. Being a rather large person I need a 60"wide to be comfortable. Plan on also going with no taper and...
