A buddy of mine has the same tarp and has used his quite a bit last year. He's been happy with his so far. So upon his recommendation, I bought mine. He's not treated me wrong yet. But I'll...

According to Amazon where I bought it from:

BrandRain Fly EVOLUTION
Item Weight1.5 Pounds

Yeah I had someone else say that too...I'll be sure to make sure I do. It was also recommended to use some baby powder as well as the sealer can be tacky.

Picked up a new tarp over the winter to replace my repurposed rain fly I've been using. Looking forward to getting out to give it a try. Seems to be a decent tarp from what I read and what a buddy...

5'11" 310lbs and I use an ultra cheap 8ft hammock with bug net. It's comfortable enough for me. I was gifted an 11ft 2Ts hammock I haven't tried out yet to see if there's any kind of noticable...

I'll get out of the hammock, depending on how awake I am at that moment depends on how far past my tarp I go.

It was a great time. It was nice to get out for what was likely my last camping trip for the year as the weather turns colder.

Awesome time. I'll be adding this to my list of places I'd like to visit. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad everyone had a great time.

Labor Day weekend a buddy of mine and I went camping for 2 nights in the hidden gem of Rensselaer county called Pittstown State Forest. The forest is located about a 30 minute drive north northeast...

Camping in the backyard tonight. It was a last minute trip decision. We quickly gathered the gear and set out. It was my youngest son and I off on a backyard adventure.

The decent to our...

Ok, I'll drop my opinion too, though I'm not sure how qualified I am to do so.

If I understand your question correctly, you're contemplating the difference between a $20 hammock vs a $160 hammock....

I'm gonna guess that it'll likely hold you as well before breaking. So only holding a ridge line? As 1-Hung-Low said, and then some

What exactly is a soft shackle? I've seen the term used a few times but still have no idea what it is

Ok, so after reading the replies here and on Bushcraft USA forum, I've decided on a light weight carabiner (climbing rated) of some type and most likely, 1/8" amsteel continuous loops for the hammock...

Been watching your videos. Very informative. After your storage video, I may invest in the 2T chair in the future.

For now it looks like I'll continue to strap to a tree and bring it under the...

I don't have any specific goal for my base weight. As I buy and upgrade gear, the weight will come down on it's own. I have a CamelBak that's able to carry everything I need in case of emergency I...

What's your base weight of your pack? I'm looking at a 38lb base weight right now. I've got a few ideas where I can shave some weight off, but I just want to make sure whatever option I use will be...

Great ideas. Most along with what I came up with myself. Just need to find a strap options lighter than my ratchet strap I'm currently using for the time being.

How does everyone setup their campsite? I'm particularly interested in what you do with your pack. Do you hang it from a tree, leave it on the ground, or what?

My last time out I used a ratchet...

Honestly for the weight, I'd rather have a smaller tarp, but I'd prefer to know I've got the extra coverage and protection. So I'll look to save the weight somewhere else. As long as my total weight...

Not a bad idea. Once I've started accumulating enough gear, I'll start doing the same thing. Depending on how you store your gear, writing on the bottom of the stuff sacks might make for easier...

I don't want to hijack this thread, but my question falls inline with the original post...

Tarp Ridge Line
Is it better for the tarp to be above or below the line?
Does the ridge line have to...

Just got a klymit X Pillow for the cost of shipping... It seems comfortable enough and a buddy of mine has one and loves it. I'll let you know my thoughts as soon as I get to try it out.

All I...

I appreciate the advice. I've already done a couple of hangs that has lead me here to the decision to change/upgrade the rope and beaner on the hammock. I'm not confident enough to attempt to...

Yes, and with so many options out there, I don't know exactly what to look at for the specific application.

I've seen many terms used for various parts of the suspension, looked them up but...

That's kinda exactly what I was thinking... What I've got is decent enough. I understand the price to quality ratio and the odds of getting lucky at each point along the scale.

Yes, even before I...

Thanks, I just found out I've been subscribed to you channel for a while now and forgot. I don't go on YouTube that much lol... But I'm planning on watching a bunch of your videos soon.

8ft is the physical length, I do plan to upgrade the hammock sometime in the future, but as I'm raising 5 kids, 5 cats, 2 dogs, and a girlfriend in the tax capital of the world, New York, budget...

Right now I'm focused on the gathered end of the hammock. Trying to upgrade there as my daisy chain tree straps work fine for me for now.

The 550 Paracord is mainly for odds and ends I forgot about. It was used for my tarp's suspension until I got the 275 cord recently.

I'm pretty sure I want the 13ft tarp, but I'm not completely...

Thanks, while what's there works, there's massive room for improvement.

I'll check out your suggestions.

I'm currently looking to tweak my suspension too. For my tree straps I currently use a daisy chain set I got at Walmart. Yes they might be weighty by some standards, but they currently work for me....

I forget how I found out about hammock camping a couple of years ago. But as I do in typical fashion, I started picking up a piece here and there and researched the hell out of it before ultimately...

I'm in the Albany Ny area. Its typically where I do most of my camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities...

I'm a father of 5 kids, combat veteran, and outdoor enthusiast. I try to involve my...

Here is my hammock setup... I've invested less than $100 into the entire thing so far.

Hammock w/bug net off Wish $10
Underquilt (forget where I bought it) $30
Tree straps from Walmart $10
Tarp...

I'm fairly new to hammock camping. I've gotten a couple hangs under my belt. I'll be posting full details of my setup in another thread later.

I've decided that I want to tweak my suspension...

I'd have done the same... assess, test, decide. Fortunately where I hang, there are plenty of vertical trees to use.
