We have had between 12 and 32 participants the last 3 years that I have run this. This year looks to be right in the middle. Adding it to the whole group I think helps, although most participating...
I am in...
Thanks Jeff for picking this up. My travel schedule this year made it a little more difficult to get the message out earlier. I am also glad to see this in the general section. I hope...
I have been using bridge hammocks for the last year and decided to take out my Chameleon a couple weeks ago. I used a tie out on it for the first time. Two things I realized. One, I really like...
Neither. My lines stay attached to the tarp GG loops with either a Becket hitch or DIYworms. hardware as part of the tarp is just extra weight and one more thing that can fail.
I would suggest like...
My kids will ask me if I know where something is and I always respond "right where you last left it". All they have to do is simply remember where they last left it. Usually stops all the searching....
Nice setup with the double hang and spreader bar. Is that a Deep Purple tarp I see? I like it.
#44 Last Week In a lower elevation so no snow on the ground and probably one of the last below freezing months for a while. It did get down to 27°F but was a clear night. Has a weird light hail storm...
I noted the heavy fabric and total weight. My questions were about the function and features. Do they have merit? Could they be applied to a lighter version with some better fabrics like those from...
I saw the Klymit Sky Bivy on massdrop this morning.

It looks like it has some interesting ideas but is far too heavy for my liking. I wonder if this could...
I use NamaClaws (connected directly to the tarp). I have never pitched my tarp with the RL above (only to test and know that I didn't like it). I have no wear issues on my tarps. They are DIY with no...
Looks like a great hammock. Interested in the proposed cost.
I liked the video too. I really liked the added touch of the Juice Harp. Not really a popular instrument among the younger crowd but a...
Nice work. I know I really enjoy my Ariel. I am sure you will enjoy yours too. It is satisfying to make something and customize it to your needs.
The splicing is the probably the hardest and it was not that hard. I was worried with all the talk of getting different lengths when splicing but it is not that hard if you just measure and mark...
I made the Ariel from the 1.7HyperD XL fabric and it is perfect. I also have the Warbonnet RR which is listed a 40 Denier 1.6OSY. They are fairly close in stretch but I do prefer the feel of the...
Nice work. Looks like a fun project. I really like the Namaclaws on my tarp RL.
Is there a baffle height ot are they sewn through?
What is the weight?
It is the WBRR. On this trip I was using a HG Incubator 0°.
I was actually too hot at one point and had to vent.
#43 this last week. Had a great trip to the tall pines. One of my favorite spots. ...
Corn starch is unscented.
You are correct that SilNet is not as good for PU. Sorry I missed the PU material Use this for PU coated fabric.

For external pole mod the sil-net should do just fine. Make sure the surfaces are clean and the material is flat when applying it. I let mine sit for the full 24hrs to cure before messing with it. ...
Just a quick backyard hang for February and #42....
Yes it is. I really enjoy it and have used it for the last few months to make sure I give it the best trial. I have had some adjustment in the attachment of the quilts but I think I have it figured...
When I first thought of this idea, my mind went to a dropstitch technology that would allow for a very strong structure. It could easily be inflated to a dual purpose inflation bag/drip water filter...
Warbonnet did a variation with the segmented spreader bar. A smaller section in the middle of the head end could be removed to allow for a different lay. I know there was a more recent thread but I...
I have been using it since the issue with the last hosting site started breaking links for those who had posted images. Fix for that was an add-in to make the photos appear again. I use Google Photos...

That's crazy. Canadian beavers are usually very helpful and nice.

#41 in the books. A fun night out with very clear sky. Only used the tarp to block some light wind. Low temp was 12°F
...
+1 I have been using this one for about a year and it is really nice to not have worry about the table underneath when cutting. A hot knife is the best way IMO to cut fabric to avoid all the little...
The Revelation just showed up on Massdrop. Not sure if this includes to new overstuffed or not. I know they have a couple different construction standards.
...
If no snow and low wind I also prefer not tarp. I use a frost bib either way. It really helps control the frost on your quilt and hammock....
I would go with the 0°F for sure. I have the 0° Incubator and use it from Sept-March around here. A 30°F in the other months unless I an sure it will not get below 50 and then I have a 40° Summer...
That is great. What did you design/build it for?
Thanks! Yes, it is Membrane silpoly in Deep Purple.
Got #40 in last week. Finally some snow. Temp dropped only to 23°F but that is about perfect....
I agree with reasons above. For me it was a question of filling from one spot or the ability to add easily through one spot if I missed in the calculations of my design. The sewing was more...
Wahoo, Order Placed
Is this a 12hr or 24hr? Looks like 8:30am-8:30am. Maybe 24hrs or maybe 8:30pm-8:30am.
One option if you don't want to use a lark's head on the ring is to use a continuous loop on spliced with the ring on the loop then lark head the loop to the locked brummel loop on the end of a dog...
I have used this one and wondered about getting something through the opening when creating the loop.
I did find another similar method. Same steps but in a different order.
...
Great job and what a reward for your small risk.
Self contained/generating solar power:lol:

Waasaaaaabi! For me please.
The 30° quilt is 18oz. I think the shell was around 5-6oz and I used 12-13oz of down. I have used it to about 26°f and just started to feell like I needed to put more on than the base layer I usually...
The Luci is back on Massdrop in a 2 pack. Have an extra for a friend or a back up.

A piece of dollar bin fleece from Wally World and 15 minutes of time and wallah......
The one I posted here is a 0° and I have about 3 1/2"-4" of loft. The 30° red one is about 2 1/2"....
Great job on the quilt. Looks nice and warm.
I have made a couple of Karo Step TQs. A 0° with a sewn foot box and a 30° with snaps and a tie bottom. Same basic design for the quilt part. ...
