I'm happy to hear (via email) that this worked splendely for you.
FWIW, we've been around longer than BIAS (are they still fulfilling orders?) launching in 2014.
I know there's lots of info...
we're gald we could be your first [emoji119]
Happy Hammocking!

Hey there! Just Bill that chimed in here is correct, it's an 11' gathered end hammock, max width of fabric, with an Underquilt attached and gathered along with the hammock. 2.4 Hexon for the hammock...
Glad to hear it... we've got something in the works [emoji57]

Our quilts are filled with 800 fill DownTek Down. the 40 degree 11oz; the 20 degree 16oz. each also have approx 2oz of 2.5 APEX Climashield insulation along the long sides of the quilt; plenty of...
No, nothing like that. The holdup has been getting the differential right. We've made and tested several now (this recent cold snap here in KY has really helped [emoji16]) and have gotten consistent,...
Thanks for noticin', Shug!
It's also makes a great quilt to stack others inside when winter camping. Spiguyver touched on this a bit in his video, but there are quilt hooks built in...
Thanks for the post Gatorleon! I'll try to address some of the questions/concerns found in the thread so far...
Anything is possible with some modifications! The Shell UQ has a UQ suspension...
I made it back to the Bluegrass state and am drying out after the soggy morning take down.
Thanks again to all who made HANGCON 2019 a success. I have to say it's always one of the best run HANGS...
It's been nice following along with you, Broken Halo! Y'all have seen a LOT of water recently!!
Hey Michael! I've replied to your email but thought I'd paste my reply here for others to see. Thanks y'all for chiming in 👍...
I will always recommend that you have bottom insulation, even in...
welcome from Lexington, KY.
if you’re ever in need of a local expert on all things hammock camping, be sure to reach out to Sheltowee; we’re happy to help
oh, sorry. just miss interpreted this ^^
I guess i read 'balling up a bit when YOUR cold' instead of 'balling up a bit when ITS cold'... my B
Back on topic, the OP seemed to have a handle on...
[emoji15] if you get cold often then i'd think you'd want to stop getting cold!?
I'm just saying I make my own hammocks (sheltowee hammocks - integrated insulation) and have got it pretty well...
i think we all instinctively go to the fetal position when we get cold. If i'm balled up in the hammock too long, i start to really feel the need to stretch out my legs!! I stopped getting cold in my...
Sounds like you've got it! HAPPY HAMMOCKKNG!
The phoenix should lighten your load and increase your backspace for sure. You may miss not having insulation below your feet, though.
I mostly vent by adjusting my top insulation, and leave the...
that won't likely work without modification. The wooki isn't designed to be pulled off to the side with someone in the Hammock... there's just not any quilt suspension or enough fabric to allow it.
Love it! Thanks for posting, and for all of the kind words, Y'all.
I'm just a hammock fan like y'all... I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the Boone Zip! Great pics, keep 'em coming
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this review GingaNingaJP!
I hope others find it as informative and a pleasure to watch as I did. After all, it's not everyday that we get to see someone...
fair enough.
I'll take this piece of history for $230!
would you be interested in a trade?
I guess Sheltowee isn't cool enough [emoji53]
Welcome from Lexington! If you're ever in town, come on by the shop, I'm happy to talk hammocks all day! I also have a demo program where you can try out my Boone Insulated hammocks and other...
If you'd like to try a Sheltowee Set-Up (Boone Insulated Hammock, Tooper, Tarp), contact me either through here or through my website about my Demo Program.
I'll send you a complete set up for...
what you need, is to gather your hammock differently. Using a whipped technique, pull the edges on both ends out about 2-3". this will create a small but rigid 'side wall' that make your feet and...
Tony posted a video recently that lifts the veil of mystery a little about the patented design of Pack-It-Light Hammocks. You can find it on the company's facebook page (sorry, I couldn't find a link...
interesting. I bet a lot of people assume a knotty mod is able to keep ones feet from falling out but it's important to remember that it's only a bit of shock cord and a cord lock, designed to...
great to see The Red with some snow AND bright blue sky! A true and rare BlueBird day y'all had. Very envious.
great write up and pics! glad to hear the prusik know worked to keep the spreader in place; that's a simple solution I hadn't thought of.
a popular solution for creating a foot box for gathered...
HEY! just saw now saw this, dang ! thanks so much for the post, and I've been wondering how you've liked the Shell UQ.
Yes, I can do colors! The brown layer (the outside layer) is all that I can...
should be a great weekend here in the bluegrass! have fun, and take pics! I've really like Dutch's spreader bar, it works well and so much easier to cover two with one tarp.
Welcome from Central KY!! Never heard of a Tenntuckian before, but I like it! The Big South Fork knows no boundary lines.
It was a great time again in Ocala NF! BIG thanks to EVERYONE who made it happen; it's tough to organize and to wrangle that many people but y'all did it again!
I was happy to see many old faces...
75° and raining sounds good to me right about now! Winter has finally hit hard here in the Bluegrass.
I finished my first true prototype of the Boone Zip this morning and looking forward showing...
Welcome, from Central Ky!
very well done sir! I couldn't stop scrolling down through your other trips, they all look so nice!
Sheltowee will be there again this year! I'm excited to spend some time in the FL Sunshine again this winter.
I'll also be unveiling a new hammock called the Boone Bug at HangCon; a Boone Hammock...
beautiful! should be a nice day to for a visit on Saturday!
I'll be there Saturday, sleeping in a 40 degree hammock [emoji33]
Here's something simple.... Pick up some straps (Dutch sells great ones at a nice price) and also drop some cinch buckles in your shopping pack. Watch this video on how to attach those buckles to...
bumping this thread and also recommending this hammock. kind of like a hammock couch.

I nearly always bring a pad with me on my trips.
I use them to sit around the campfire and as a hammock welcome mat :laugh: !
I have the best success supplementing my insulation by wearing...
I'm getting pretty pumped! I kinda wish it was this weekend with the weather. I've never been to Star Gap arch and would like to find it; it'll be close to us, at the end of Tunnel Ridge Rd.
Welcome from Lawrenceburg, KY!
My first hammock was an ENO Doublenest! I've still got it (though it doesn't get much use anymore) and it's still going strong! Most people find the ideal width for...
Hello and welcome from the Bluegrass state!
I used to use a Thermarest Z-lite pad as insulation for my feet and I would always wake up with condensation trapped in the dimples of the pad... the...
Sheltowee is based in the heart of the Bluegrass State; Central KY! And it's just me, Alex, behind the scenes.
I started with this crazy idea to integrate an insulation layer in a hammock 4 years...
