Thank you Mike! UQ is as described. Thank you for driving to meet me.

I'll take it for $75. Agree to Meet face to face.

Would you take $75. I can meet in person. I'm in Hoover.

I'll probably get some lash it or zing it for the ridge line. I took the cord that the Noah's tarp came with and am using it for the guy lines and the ridge tie outs now. Nothing supporting the...

What's the difference in the grey lash it and the Nite Ize glow cord? is one stronger or more durable?

Would you use one over the other for a ridgeline or guy lines?

I'm pretty new to hammock camping. I just got a Kelty Noah's 12 tarp and I want to hang it in a square config (not hex). I need to have a ridge suspension for the tarp and then I need to have 6 guy...

Welcome. I'm in Hoover, AL South of Bham.

FYI, this was in a hammock under a tarp. No direct sunlight. It was like 70 degrees and partly cloudy that day. oh, and it was covered with a sleeping bag.

I bought this years ago but I've only...

I inflated my therms rest and left it out in my hammock for a day. Can this be fixed?

Yep $$$ is always an issue, LOL.

I'm in Central Alabama. Most of my hanging will be done between Central Alabama and Central TN in the fall and spring months. I'd like to be able to be comfortable down to 25-35 degrees at the...

I could smell the pine pollen starting a few weeks ago when it started to warm up after a rain. Joy! Kombucha and milk kefir here I come! It's made the pollen much more tolerable from an allergy...

I have left my WBBB XLC up in the back yard for two or so weeks. We've had a few nasty downpours. I'm only using a cheapo walmart tarp to cover the hammock and I've been pleasantly surprised at how...

So, looking into sites online it appears that ticks just die after they lay eggs. The eggs won't hatch till the temps and humidity are optimal. Sounds like humidity has a lot to do with the growth...

What colors are you finding them in at Wally world?

I've seen this tacked thread but never read it. Must admit I'm surprised. I'll have to try this the next time I go camping.

That looks like a beautiful area to play!

Hi, my name is Matt and I only have one hammock. The secret to controlling my addiction is my wife. LOL, only kidding. I'm just getting back into this. I plan to find some walmart nylon and make...

Yeah, I still looked through everything at both locations.

I'm not a sewing guru or anything so educate me on this. What size of material do they sell all the fabrics in? I mean width wise? I...

Wow, well that definitely sounds nasty. makes sense. guess the tick key is the way to go! And some antibiotic ointment maybe.

I got a WBBB XLC 1.7 SL and I'm lovin it! The storage shelf is so convenient for me. The footbox works fairly well too. Having the ability to remove the bug net is nice for cooler weather.
...

I'm interested in the differences in these materials as well.

I went to two Walmarts and got the same reaction. Like I'm from Mars, lol. Long awkward pause like I just asked her if they stock Plutonium or something. Anyways, this magical cheap ripstop...

I've pulled several out by hand or tweezers. Every once in a while the head is burrowed in deep and I have to kill it with a match on the back. Usually it will release then.... or at least quit...

I found this a decent source of info for those interested.

Still not sure which one got me the other day on the back of my knee. I usually see either...

If this was just for backpacking Hammock camping I'd be looking at some lighter tarps with more tie out options.

Anyone see the Kelty car tarp? It comes with two poles and a spreader pole. ...

How high do hiking poles get?

I've been looking at multipurpose tarps for hammock camping, a beach shade tarp, car camping tarp, and pretty much everything else. Also the Noah doesn't come with poles. What would you recommend? ...

I have my WB XLC hung in the back yard. under a tarp. I escaped for 45min yesterday only to have the wife find me and rope me into helping her with the kids. One day I'll get a real nap in it.

Man this is addicting. I want a nice tarp and a nice under quilt now.

What temp can you get down to with one of the modified poncho liner as an UQ? How much do these cost?

I'm really...

Yeah, I may have to get a stronger hammock to fit anyone other than my daughter in there with me. I think she is 50lbs and I'm right at 200 or just under at 195 depending on the day. The WB XLC...

I've looked at the Nube before. That is an interesting couple of setups. I like the idea though. I think Bunk hanging is the way to go if I can get a mosquito net to work with it.

I would like to eventually get my 5yo a hammock and have her go hammock camping with me. I have a WB XLC hammock. I was thinking about getting a GT SBP so the wife could use it. (if I can ever...

They make the little aluminum teardrop shaped tick keys to remove ticks now. neat little idea. If I couldn't make one out of an old soda can I might buy one.

Ha! I like one of the comments. The odds of being struck by lightning should be included in any discussion on being struck by lightning. Very true.

I've been inside a house where it hit the...

What about insects with this setup. If its hot can I sleep on the hammock by itself or do I need the pad to keep the bugs from biting me through the hammock?

The tick I pulled off of me was brown. Which one is the deer tick and which is the dog tick? I know one has the white spot on its back.

Whoah, that is awesome!

On your knees or sitting with crossed legs?

I found one on the back of my knee the other day. Went camping South of Tuscaloosa the end of February. There are a lot less of them so far this year than I saw last year around this time.

Interesting. I guess it does make sense. My former career as a property adjuster showed me that lightning can come up from the ground or down from the sky.

I supposed I'd rather be off the...

I was just contemplating this. Don't want to get struck by lightning. So what does everyone doe when a thunderstorm comes along and your hanging. ie at night or once you've hung your hammock. Do...

Great. I definitely plan to get some hanging in this year. I need to get my 5yo a hammock so she can hang beside me. Probably just something cheap with a mosquito net. I might spring for a Kelty...

My first real hammock setup. What do you think?

-WBXLC
-webbing straps suspension
-Walmart tarp( can't remember size)
-suspended tarp with some nylon rope and 550 para cord.

The hammock...

That is awesome! take my money!!!

I think we made it to single digits here in the deep South this year. The ground froze a hand full of times which is out of the ordinary. Wearing flip flops and shorts now 55-65 degrees. Now if...

Thanks. Nice to have the GPS coordinates.

How much did the Super Deluxe Sol Bivvy run? will it fit two people?

Could be a good option to go over a ridge line and under the hammock (pea pod style). It would get it off your face. ...

Wow, interesting. Thanks for the additional info.
