It's also the weekend after spring MAHHA which I might be going to. If I don't go to MAHHA I will probably go to this one.
Got it on my radar. It's a little bit far for me at 4 hours drive but I just might just show up.
You can add a structural ridge line. I added one to mine to get a more consistent hang angle from one set up to the next. I found that the lower the hang angle the flatter the lay but, as you found,...
Bump. Still looking.
Bump. Forgot to add regular lay (head left feet right). Anybody have one?
I lost one too for my wife's RR. I bought a full width half bar from Dutchware and cut it down. Make sure you get the half with the insert.
From looking at your attached photo you might try a "tighter pitch". In my experience if you reduce the hang angle (tighter pitch) it reduces shoulder squeeze. I also added a ridgeline to get...
I am also a stomach/side sleeper at home. I tried stomach sleeping in my RR with a pad but could never get comfortable enough for a good nights sleep. I mostly sleep in a sort of half back half side...
Fantastic, count us in!
Is there going be be a Hootenanny Hang in 2021? My wife and had a great time last year even with the Covid-19 precautions/restrictions and we don't want to miss this year if it is going to be held.
Bump. Anybody have a XL Wooki they are looking to sell?
This is an excellent place to start, I've found through multiple trials and setups that I like a slightly flatter angle around 20 degrees. Another approach is measure the distance between head and...
Looking for a light weight summer underquilt and specifically a 40 Degree Wooki XL. Prefer brown, green, olive, or camo in color. Let me know what you have if you're thinking about selling.
You could always wrap the 4x6 pressure treated posts with 1x cedar boards and stain them to make it look more "acceptable".
4x6 pressure treated should last for years. Maybe not quite as long as cedar but probably as long as you own the house.
Yes, I did extend the Wooki head end loop 2" or so but apparantly that was not enough. In fitting I ended up extending the loop another 2" to get the Wooki placed where I liked it.
What would be really great is if someone has something in "copper" brown and something else in "coyote" brown and snap a picture of the them next to each other.
It was the quilt hanger that failed. Snapped the hook off the end. Everything I've read says you want the Wooki tight to the bottom of your hammock and plastic hardware is not strong enough.
So, I was trying out and fitting my new WB Wooki XL on my Chameleon the other day. The Chameleon does not have the whipped knot s like the WB Blackbird so you need something to hang loop on the head...
I want to get a top cover for my Chameleon. I have a Warbonnet Wooki XL in "copper" brown. Does anybody know how that color compares to Dutchware Argon "Coyote" brown?
You can try switching the dogbones and see if it tilts to the other side. If it does it is most likely the lengths of the dogbones are not equal. I got my RR back in 2013 and it tilted to one side...
No possible on the head end. They would not be long enough. Might be possible on the foot end. Not advisable though since the load on the crossbar would be increased possibly high enough to collapse...
Be careful and do not shorten them to much. A couple years ago I shortened mine to get the apex triangles under my 12' RL tarp. As you shorten the dogbones the RR will start to feel "tippier" (less...
If the head end or foot end triangle dogbone suspension lines are not very close to the same length the RR will list to the long side. The head end is more sensitive to this than the foot end. You...
I want to add Knotty mods to my 11' gathered end hammock. How long should the knotty mods be and at what locations along the length of the sides of the hammock?
I'm still planning on going and if so I will leave tomorrow morning also. I'm going to do one last weather forecast check tonight. I don't want to sit around in the rain. A little snow is OK but a...
Yes, I want to return the suspension to the stock configuration. I need to know how long the stock head end cord loop is. I have some Zing-it to make one I just need to know how long to make it.
I just got a used Wooki XL for my XLC. The previous owner had removed the stock suspension and installed bungie loops on both ends. Can someone tell me how long the stock continuous cord loop is on...
Ditto, but I have an older BB XLC that has the single continuous zipper so I got into the habit of getting in on the non-shelf side. I would think getting in on the shelf side would be a tad more...
I imagine that after getting caught up after the Black Friday sale they are on a much needed vacation.
Thanks so much for the photos. It makes so easy to see the color differences. I've decided to go with the dark foliage. It is so dark that it is a good contrast with the XLC color and I think it...
I have a Prius and it has pretty low ground clearance. Deep potholes can be a problem. Is it a gravel or dirt road. I have a mini van also but it takes twice as much gas.
From what I can tell the foliage green is darker than my XLC and the olive green looks like it is lighter and more greenish than the XLC. I'm leaning toward the foliage green since it looks like a...
Good point, btw, been there done that on the splat.
I want to get a Wooki XL underquilt for my BB XLC. It is a second generation XLC with the single zipper removable bugnet in the original dark green/olive green color. The color pallets on the...
ScarletGypsy,
Welcome back home. I too was a "misplaced southerner". Born in Tn, grew up in Ky and Oh, worked 26 years in WV, and them retired and moved back to Ky. I'll be about 1.5 hours north...
I might be able to drive up from London depending on the date and the weather. Also, I'd be interested in a Red River Gorge hang some time.
I might be able to make this hang. I really wanted to make the last one at this location but could not make it work. How good is the forest service road to get to the campground?
You really do not need a cat cut on a DCF tarp. You need a cat cut on stretchy fabrics like silnylon. DCF has very low stretch and a cat cut does not provide enough benefit to make worth the extra...
I found that when I used a thermarest pad the lay was even flatter but it makes the hammock feel a little more "tippier". I also found that a 25" wide pad is about the widest pad that will fit in...
I have a set and have used them before. I'm over 250 lbs and the head end pole will slip several inches overnight. I've added a short length of wood dowel to keep them from slipping.
Ethanol also called grain alcohol is what you drink in your alcoholic beverages. It is only toxic at very high levels. You are probably thinking of Methanol which is very toxic even at low levels. ...
I have expirienced this also, I think it comes from laying with you knee or elbow against the seams along the sides. These are very tight an you squeeze the down an it loses loft and does not...
I've found the optimum distance is about 15'. For me that is about 5 paces. Farther than this and I get a lot of sag when I put my weight in the hammock. The farther apart the trees the higher I have...
Make sure you slide as far toward the head end as possible to minimize the shoulder squeeze. You may have to raise your foot end to keep from sliding down during the night. I have very wide...
You cannot hang a stock suspension RR in 13'. I shortened the four dog bones down and now the distance between the apex of the suspension triangles is slightly less than 12'. This fits under my 12'...
I hear ya. On my XLC I have to set the foot end about 18" higher than the head end (at the tree) and slide as far toward the head end as I can to avoid the calf ridge. Maybe I should have ordered the...
I have a RR, XLC, and Chameleon. Like you the most comfortable for me is the RR. I find the XLC slightly more comfortable than my Chameleon. Not sure why but I noticed that the XLC ridgeline is...
As I understand it, the hammock body of the El Dorado and the XLC are exactly the same. The only difference is the bug net, in fact you can effectively convert an El Dorado to an XLC by buying an XLC...
Ditto with having the foot end a little higher than the head end and laying with my head close to the head end spreader bar.
