Funny article! I have no problems with the buffoons staying on the ground!

I've had this issue when using my standard hex tarp in windy rain storms. To prevent the situation, I lay several sticks and limbs around the perimeter of the tarp between the bottom edge and the...

Thanks for the info Cohutta, I appreciate it. Are you saying the DNR officials are going undercover without uniforms so that they can befriend you and later flash their badge once they've observed an...

Other good reasons:

I was using a USPS Tyvek envelope that I had stolen from my local post office. After reading this thread, I felt very guilty and ashamed, so I took it to the P.O. to give it back and redeem myself. I...

Me and a couple friends went two years ago. We parked at the Beech Bottom trailhead and hiked to a campsite. The next morning, some other hikers informed us that our car window was smashed, so we...

Welcome from Atlanta. Happy hangin'!

Welcome from Atlanta. Happy Hangin'!

I made a Jerry Chair out of Tyvek. At bedtime, the Tyvek sheet becomes a ground sheet. If windy or rainy, I use it as an UQP via the grommets I installed on the corners. 5 oz.

I'm hoping to get there Friday afternoon. I'll bring a 20x20 tarp and some fire wood.

I've had the same question.... Glad soul embrace showed us the way. Thanks soul embrace!

I'm digging the yin yang raven avatar!

Just checked out the 360 feature....pretty cool!

Also, I've been enjoying the Darien I received a few weeks ago. Thanks!

I removed the bug net because the bugs were gone, but ended up with a bunch of leaves and other tree debris in the hammock. Bird poop could be a potential issue, but I haven't been bombed yet. So, I...

Welcome! There is tons of good info here and some very knowledgeable members. Try to attend a group hang so that you can try out different styles of hammocks, tarps, etc. Also, there may be ...

Is there a particular name for the maneuver of going to sit in the hammock and instead just sitting in the UQ, resulting in your bum hitting the ground? Not that I've ever done it, just wondering...

Has anyone tried this hammock? If so, did you like it? Would you try it again? How did it make you feel?

I use mini ground hogs. I that situation, I dig a hole, stick stake into ground at the bottom of the hole and put a rock in the hole and fill with dirt. Reverse procedure in order to LNT.

I just picked up a Singer Simple off of CL for $45. New in the box. I hope it serves me well. Now to get some injecting lessons. If anyone is familiar with this injector and has any tips...send them...

Welcome from Atlanta!

Does anyone know if I can modify my XLC zipper so that it would have 2 zipper pulls, the regular one and a second one going in the opposite direction?

Sounds cool. Could you post some photos?

Welcome from Sandy Springs! Hope you can make it to Raven Cliffs.

I have WBBB XLC and a Dutch Argon if you want to try them out. I am in Sandy Springs near Roswell Rd. and Glenridge.

I replaced my XLC ridge line with a removable/adjustable one. I want to mark the new one at 111" (stock length). Is this measurement the length of the ridge line inside the hammock or the length of...

Hi, new hanger here. I've been waiting for a group hang nearby to try out some new gear and meet some fellow hangers. See you all Friday!
