Hmmm indeed. Is there a specific issue you're trying to solve with the desire for a semi-permanent rigging? Things kind of just stay put for me as my foot end goes up first when I hang a hammock,...

Glad to hear this worked out for you. I'll get to use it overnight for the first time on a "weekend" trip tomorrow on the Allegheny Front Trail.

I've got it pre-deployed over my netless in my...

Recently picked one of these up and I have yet to use it overnight, but backyard testing has me satisfied as a first-time fronkey user. I've had the cord lock for the end cinch slip a few times in...

Well, that's enough for me. This, along with the other reported failures, is enough data for me to retire my cloud .71 netless. I simply cannot have this happen miles from civilization after hiking...

This has been my experience as well.

Coming from the newer 1.2 MTN I'm still learning to trust the fabric, but I find I'm a little less freaked out by it every time I get in and out of it.

looks awesome! is that the coyote brown?

These types of things...

wait for what you want or pick a different vendor that has it now if you can't

I let it slither around loose inside my pack if it's dry, otherwise it goes in the outside mesh pocket on my pack. No stuff sack in either case. It's an easy place to save half an ounce for me, but...

Just got my shipping notification, so the quilt's going to show up between 2-3 weeks early!

If you guys don't hear from me again it's because I walked into the woods and never came back.

Another vote for a Paria Hex Tarp from me. Solid deal, solid tarp. Stakes are great, cordage is ok if you aren't trying to tie knots with quick releases (it saws through itself rather quickly), the...

Ordered on September 5. Don't play with my emotions.

It's also worth a mention that sewn-through baffles are supposed to be less efficient because they create cold spots - I believe a process to avoid this is called "karo step" but I'm out of my...

Looks like it, but you need to account for differences in length and width if you have other dimensions in mind. If you target that 2" baffle height a la Shug's graphic and the HG specs and get...

I'd look at what the pro's do and start breaking it down from there. Hammock Gear has spec sheets for their quilts - here's the one for a premium phoenix. This down is distributed amongst, "9...

I'm guessing you'll want some sort of bug net as you're in FL as well. I think Hammock Gear's WanderLust Kit is a solid option if you want a one-stop-shop type of thing. If weight is truly not an...

knowing your height, weight and whether or not you care about having a light weight system will help people give better suggestions

12' should be fine around NY. I'm in PA and I feel like my 15' straps are overkill in the places I go.

You're just asking a little too much of the shelf on the xlc by putting a water bottle in there if you don't like it turning into a saddle bag. I would only stick a ditty bag and some spare clothes...

I've seen youtuber sintax77 using this and he seems to get out quite often in rainy areas.

Have you tried 1.2 or 1.3 MTN? I've got one on order from DH and I'm 5'10" 170 lb. and I'm wondering what to expect coming from a single layer bb xlc.

The post seems to be about weight, not bulk and usability, but you bring up some good points about weight possibly not being the be-all and end-all of trail comfort.



I've heard dyneema tarps...

This is definitely a helpful piece of the puzzle, thank you!

Another thing that dawned on me while dayhiking earlier was to do some tree-CSI and take a look at the fallen trees I was passing-by,...

Was hoping for a sale on a 20 *F Yeti :(

Ordered something similar from another vendor, but I'll be waiting to grab a 40 *F Yeti if they ever go on sale.

I think Warbonnet may have some distribution in the EU (maybe just the UK), send them an email.

This is very helpful, thank you!

I guess this might be a good place to ask if anyone has any tips for identifing dead or dying trees in the fall and winter. I feel like once the leaves go and it gets cold I have a real hard time...

Given that they don't want new people listing in WTS I would assume that they would not want to allow it as it would be a way to sort of circumvent this restriction.

If it's the one on r/ULgeartrade it sold already.

As a newer member without much unique to add to most threads I have gear I'd like to sell, but I don't think I'll get to the post threshold where I'll be able to create new threads in that part of...

I have a brown, single layer BB XLC that I can let go for $165 shipped.

Picaradin lotion works pretty well, but I'm not sure if that's any better for you than spraying yourself.

You could also try a thermacell.

This is the second generation. Bought in December 2019, I've had it on two weekend trips since (so 4 nights) and I've hung it a handful of times in my yard - it's in 'like new' condition.

$165...

Went ahead and took the pictures...

I have a single layer BB XLC in brown that I was just getting ready to weigh and photograph to sell on reddit (I'm still glad to do this for you if you like).

I was planning a cold weather backpacking trip and looking into reviews on sleeping pads (as a ground-dweller) that could serve me year-round and discovered all of them had people claiming they had...

Thanks! Hammocking just makes so much sense in this area.

Hi there, useful people of this forum!

I finally decided to make an account here, though I've been aware of this forum for nearly a year as it came up a lot as I researched the purchase of my...
