I knew lolli-gaggin' about how much insulation I need would pay off! I see a new UQ and maybe even a quilt in my future :lol:

Hang #3 for November found me spending the night at Hasty campground in front of the John Martin Reservoir in Hasty, CO. Temp got down to 37 deg but I was pretty comfortable using my truck sunshade...

For sure, I’m looking hard at the hammock gear 30° top but maybe the Shenandoah quilt for an under quilt. Being in Texas it’s a pita trying to gauge how much insulation you need. The 30° top would be...

#2 and my October hang. Stopped in Carlye, IL last night in route to a project we do alot of work on. First time using my cheap UQ on the chameleon, might need to upgrade to one that fits it better...

I’m pretty sporadic in my hangs but now that I graduated to a chameleon I plan to really shoot for the 12 nights a year. September down at Milford state park, $14 site sure beats $85 for one night in...

Thanks fellas, definitely believe in going with my gut Shug, rigging on cranes for ten years teaches ya gravity’s law is absolute [emoji23]. Plus side to new straps I’ll probably splurge and get the...

So after years of a ENO I finally bit the bullet and got a double layered chameleon. Best thing since slice bread, but I got in a hurry and didn’t check my beetle buckle before laying down second...

So far :knock on wood: I’ve had good luck with COE parks in Arkansas and Missouri. The pictures have been a pretty good representation of the sites. The last one was a good site but not very scenic...

Saving money and getting outside a few nights a month. Here’s my October hangs in Arkansas and Missouri on my way to and from work in Illinois

I try to be as careful as I can but sometimes they’re sneaky little buggers…

My second for the month of June. With cost of gas and motels going up I’m trying to save a little by staying in state or Govt. parks on my Moeb days. First night was in Woodworth, Louisiana at Indian...

Not the greatest spot but I did #1 Tuesday in Port O’Connor, Texas. Mosquitos were rank but I had a bug net which was a life saver.

Great thing is woke at 4:30 and headed straight to the flats...

Hey folks building my chameleon and wanting to make it best for camping in Texas especially the gulf coast. Talked to a lady at DW’s and basically gonna have Hexon 1.0 on the inside and 1.6 outer for...

It has but Texas is trying to get back to normal. Hurricane has pass now waiting on river crestings too go down so other areas are safe.

Funny how minds think alike, I'm using ENO daisy chains to...

This stand has been a godsend since Hurricane Harvey hit the Texas coast. Been cool and comfortable in the garage every night for a week now waiting on power too come on. ...

Hurricane Harvey Hilton right here!

So I've been under a rock called work since January and finally having time to browse. I'm guessing the only way to get one of these hammocks was thru the kickstarter thingamabob???

Yea I've done that before but the side zip makes it nice to get the net out of the way and the ridgeline as well. My problem was when I'd get in the hammock to sleep the zipper would take off to my...

I know I learned a few things about the Hennessy.

- Need a bigger tarp and maybe a higher capacity model hammock

- See if they make a bottom entry with a side zipper model so you have the best...

I know what you mean we've been dodging thunderstorms here in Texas. Its 70° and muggy tonite.

Work has kept me from doing once a month but I'm hanging tonite staking out our hay fields for hog...

Nothing fancy just some Brazoria county cow pasture in my new to me Hennessy. Getting a feel for it while out cutting palmetto fronds for duck season. ...

While all y'all are in snow we're in fog. Mid-60's last night and pea soup along the south end of our pasture.

Yea I had a gift card and the big box outdoor store around here started selling them. I don't think I'll use it for camping but sleeping inside it's worked great.

So far so good on my setup. Changed my spreader bar slings yesterday to make the hammock lower to the floor, it wasn't a chore getting out but I felt I was testing the spreader bar to much when I...

Y'all plan on doing this again?

I got ya Thom and my crane back ground kept me from seeing the shackle like you did. We never side load shackles hence my legs going wonky I'll fix that tonite

Well got it together and in my hammock as we type. Lay is better with the 7' poles and I have the legs spread at about a 45° angle to keep them pretty straight and carry the load (I knew all this...

Sure thing but basically do what you did.

Once I get a hammock with bug netting I'll probably be sleeping out on days off, for now I'm good with my setup.

That's good to know thanks! Is this the thin blanket they got or the thicker tarp one?

And tree huggers could a hammocker make softeners for the eyes? I know on some of the nylon slings we use for rigging to cranes the eyes will have a sacrificial piece of leather sewn around the eye...

Yes sir I could see that defiantly working. Main thing with me if I can keep the wind off I stay pretty warm in cold weather, so if there was a little bit of space between me and the blanket that'd...

I'll keep an eye out for a decent wool blanket to put into use!

Thanks, I might have to rough it with this till I can get a UQ
