Any idea how many hammockers are intending to attend? I have a friend in St. Pete that is looking to get into hammock backpacking and I've recommended she some up for Saturday to see as many...
Thanks. Great tips.
Thanks, that’s good to know. I got lucky on the Pemi loop and found flat stealth sites that were great but it took some looking and patience.
I see you are in the Whites. Is hammock camping allowed throughout or is it restricted to certain areas? I’ve only done one hike in the Whites (Pemi loop) and I was ground camping then but that...
I won’t be carrying a chair but I do use the hammock as a chair. Do you carry any type of ground cloth so you can sit/lay on the ground for variety?
Thanks
I’m contemplating a long hike (for me) and plan to use my Dutchware Chameleon and UGC silpoly Hanger tarp. I’ve been reading lots of thru hiker posts and watching a lot of thru hiker videos to get an...
Yep. That’s them! Glad they produced the catalogs when they were young!
Yep. I’ve never run into another VB user, much less a Stephenson’s Fuzzy Stuff user around here. I know one GA backpacker that has/had one of their tents but that’s it. I visited their office/home...
Not that particular brand and model but I’ve tried VB liners in sleeping bags when I was a ground sleeper. Even on the ground, I found the separate liners to be cumbersome. They did keep my down dry...
Welcome from a Marietta hanger. N GA has unlimited options for hammock camping, both car camping and backpacking. This forum is an excellent source of info and a great way to meet other hammockers. ...

Great points. I rarely have the opportunity to get out for more than 2 consecutive nights and fortunately don’t have a slew of physical ailments so I haven’t experienced those issues....
I’m a bit over 200 and am very comfortable in my 1.0 Chameleon. I would expect the 1.0 would be nice for someone as light as you.
Thanks Dave, that helps.

Would you be able to post up close photos of your setup to show how your quick disconnect system works?
Thanks

How are you attaching the ball to the LED?
Thanks
Mark
Thanks for the tips. They all make sense.

Is the shoelace capable of shunting heavy rain or can it be "overwhelmed" by heavy rain? In heavy rain would a second drip line help? Is material important? Cotton vs. synthetic?
Thanks

For those that use the Beckett hitch to directly connect the straps to the continuous loop, what do you do when it rains to keep your hammock dry? I love the B hitch but it allows water to run right...
That's what I used to do and it worked great until I tried it in an ice storm. We had a situation where the precipitation started as freezing rain and then continued with sleet and freezing rain...
Reviving another old thread - hope someone's paying attention. For those of you that directly connect your tree straps to your continuous loops, what, if anything, are you doing for a rain/water...
I simply made a shorter continuous loop for each end to move the suspension attachment points in closer to the hammock endsThere is a limit to how short you can go and have your continuous loops be...
That's new to me. Thanks.
Wow!
Unlike sleeping in a bedroom where you see the walls and ceiling, when sleeping outdoors in a hammock, you mainly see the tarp so that color may be more important than the hammock color plus...

I met a fellow GA hanger who had colored yellow Kevlar straps black with a broad tip Sharpie. I did not realize he had Kevlar straps as they looked like black poly or nylon straps until he...
Welcome from a relatively hanger from West Marietta. This is a great forum and GA is full of very nice hammockers.
Mark
I'll take it. PM me payment details.

Same thing happened to me using the Dutch camp webbing with the titanium buckles. It really shredded one strap.
What ridgeline length?
What color Cuben?

I look forward to meeting you. We plan to be there around noon.
Mark
We hope to find open spots right by the creek near the parking lot as we are experimenting with gear and don't want to haul extra gear very far.
My buddy and I are going to Raven Cliffs Saturday - Sunday, arriving about noon Saturday and heading home Sunday morning. Just a quick trial run as it will be my buddy's first overnight hang. If...
What does it weigh?
Oops! Looks like il number two, if number one falls through, let me know.

Will the Wilderness Logics fit someone 6'4"? If so, I'll take it.

Me too. I just joined the forum yesterday and this was one of the first things I searched for. I've had a Hennessy Hammock for years but haven't used it much but have the itch to give hammocks...
