Good stuff, thank you!

Thanks for the link. Any info on specific measurements for the quilt itself, not the hammock?

Hello hello! I’m working on a diy Costco underquilt for my bridge hammock. Does anyone know what the appropriate measurements are for a properly fitting bridge underquilt?
Thanks in advance, you...
I have the SG 30 degree elite 11’. I used it last month with overnight temps in the 60s. I love this hammock but in all honesty it did get really warm for awhile until the evening cool set in. I was...
Not sure on the pet policy but the Sylvania Wilderness checks a lot of your boxes. Might be worth a look. I love it up there.

When I first started out back in 2012 most vendors I knew of (and could afford at the time ) only sold 10 ft rigs. I bought a 10’ 62” wide traveler from Warbonnet and fell in love with it. Still a...

Nice! Are you going to try out a snap on quilt with it? I ordered a 30 degree hammock back in March when they released the pre-order for full-zip and Danny said it should ship next week. Very...
The new full-zip Superior Hammock should start shipping soon. I’m chomping at the bit!! Anyone get theirs yet?

I picked up a 10d uqp from HG last year. The 10d costs $10 more but weighs 2 oz less. I thought I might use it occasionally but turns out I bring it every time. It helps with heat retention way more...
All you need is a spreader bar for the head end and two hammocks. Any two hammocks will do. I picked up a couple $50 Ridge Outdoor Pinnacles off Amazon and a spreader bar from Dutch last year and...
I was using my 0 degree set so “the big ones”. In winter, the pack I use is an old Osprey Ather 70 and I used to pack it full for 1 or 2 winter overnights - 30 to 40lbs easy. These days, and using...
I just switched to doing the loose pack this past winter and I think I’m sticking with it. I got a DCF pack liner (but any old contractor bag will do) and stuffed my big winter quilts in the bottom....
That’s a great option! I’m going to try it. Thanks for the post!

Hello, I really like the look of your gear but what I’m most interested in is the clip on winter cover you mentioned. Is that something you are rolling out soon because I don’t see it listed on your...
I messaged them last week about my preorder and Danny said they were 8-9 weeks out on the new model. I’m hoping it ships in the next couple of weeks (at 8 weeks now) but I know they are overwhelmed...

In the set-up pictured I made it down to an overnight temp of 8 degrees F. I layered Costco quilts to stay warm and it worked pretty well. After that, I made the investment in an 0 degree HG UQ last...
I just do the shock cord at all 4 hook points. Keeps everything under you, especially when you move to diagonal. I have HG quilts so I make sure to get both shock cords in the hooks.

In my humble opinion, while not necessary they are very nice to have and work well. I’m glad I have them for sure.

I use an 11ft GE, 58” w. I’ve used a Dutch netless for winter camping for years with an HG 3/4 Phoenix 20 degree and HG 20 TQ. In 2014 when I started I really got into the DIY aspects of hanging...
No, haven’t been to a hang yet. I will one of these days. My job and family make it tough to get away for more than a 1-nighter. My goals are to get to a frozen butt hang eventually and organize a...

Welcome from Green Bay! I have hooks in studs in my basement hammock lab and hang and test all my stuff indoors before I take it into the “wild”. Years ago I bought a Dutchware netless hammock for...
I have had really good results by adding a UQ protector to my winter set up. I couldn’t give you a numerical value but the wind blocking alone has made a noticeable difference in heat retention. It...
If you can get your hands on a couple of the “Costco down blankets” they are a great DIY option for underquilts and top quilts and awesome for stacking or even combining with kamsnaps. Tons of info...

FWIW, I have had real good experiences with the Ridge Outdoor Gear hammocks. Real value for the dollar considering how comfortable they are and how well built they are with all the bells and...
Sure, I just made a small fixed loop on one end of a 7ft piece of zing-it, then made a 3” loop on the other end. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210318/910b168e50608611c5ffe7795273fedc.jpg

I like to use a prusik knot threaded through itself. No hardware needed. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210317/b8f82b66dd19602c40f885c23c230629.jpg

Have you ever done a video on this? I seem to remember you talking about the zips on Warbonnets and Chameleon but not a bottom entry. Superior Gear is now offering integrated bug nets but I’m not...
Got down to -4 degrees F on my first night out and didn’t feel a thing in my 0 degree comforter. Warm and cozy all night. Quality gear for sure in my opinion.

Yeah, looks awesome. Looks like Dutch gear for the spreaders and pole mounts? Maybe Dutch could switch the Banyon to Cloud71 and get that rig in production again.

Love the time-lapse Shug. Maybe it’s the color pallet but when I look at the painting I think the figure looks lonely. Just my interpretation of course.
