Posted pic above. Take a look. I will weigh them later today.

Yes both are the ECO burrows. Should be the same fill power.185769

20 degree on left and 0 degree on the right.

My son received his 20 degree. We are happy with it. However, we noticed right away that his 20 degree bag has much more down and loft than my 0 degree bag.

This is obvious in a side by side...

These Artic Breeze mini fans are a sleep necessity for me for camping in tent or hanging.

I plug them both into my Anker power supply. They draw 0.2 amps.

Anyone have a site they would reccomend as a go to site for learning splicing and all the great things that can be done with 7/64th Amsteal. I have reviewed the Dutch links to Samson. However, I am...

Ridge pole. Great idea.

I would like to sink a couple removable metal poles in my pool deck. I just don't have a good place to hang back there. And the massive wood stand is a no go. What diameter poles would support my...

Backpacking in northern Ohio is lacking. Lots of trails thouĺ. I haven't been able to string anything with camping to b a decent "backpacking" trio together

Marmaduke have you found anything?

Waking up this thread. We just got back from a backpacking trip in Glacier where temps were down in the mid 30s over night.
Perfect sleeping temps for me.

Back in Ohio in was 80 today and...

I would agree they look like flags, and the strange retro colors.

Color options are very unfortunate thou. They look like flags.

Ford, Chevy, Dodge and Toyota. But which is the Cadillac or the BMW. But I'm a HS teacher and no way will it be the later.
I need a Honda....maybe the REI magma quilt? I dont see any reviews yet.

I have be shopping the top quilts for months and am suffering from paralysis of analysis. Maybe you guys can help. The quilt is primarily for my next backpacking trip to the Tetons and Glacier...

Any new bridge hammocks released or soon to be released? Or any hybrid tent hammock combos?

They need to send one to someone to review.

They are developing a bug net and it will be ready by spring

I was looking around for new products. Surely you guys seen this one. However I don't see a thread about it. Looks interesting but I don't see a bug solution.

Have you heard of the elephant foot sleeping bag? My son had a number of questions about sleeping bags after a cold rainy weekend camping with the scouts. Many of his questions I couldnt answer...so...

Interesting thread. I mistakenly thought ultra light hammock camping would be lighter then a UL ground setup. It really can't compete.

Mountainsmith sling back trekking pole chair may be an option

Knot confused at all. The taut line is actually the midshipmens according to Ashley.
Read "better version".

I examined the bolts holding the roof rack on. And after watching the physics of the 30 degree hang on the grizz channel. No way that would hold. The webbing through the van worked great.

I...

Works great. The van must list a couple of inches under my weight thou looking at the slack in my tarp. That's with a tripled up shock cord on the ridgeline. One of my boys thought I might tip the...

Perfect thank you.

I have a Dodge Grand Caravan. Is their a safe anchor point that anyone has used? I am hanging in a bridge hammock.

Are their any budget tarps that will work with a bridge hammock?

It's unfortunate they discontinued it. I hope it lasts.

Well seven nights in the Rei bridge hammock. I'm liking it.

Stock setup with a Outdoor Vital sleeping pad.
The tarp as everyone has said is small. It keeps the rain out unless it pools in the...

Nope it's all good here.
The think the culprit last night is still back there. I seen him a couple of times in the open area before the wooded area today. My boy wants to try the hammock tonight....

I finally got my REI quarter done. My wife knew that I wanted to try hammock camping this year and purchased it months ago a gave it to me yesterday for my birthday. I knew. One night I was on REIs...

I will get the true measurements, take it apart and decide on a width from your recommendations (with seam allowance). And try my first rolled hem. I got a free machine at work. Apparently they cut...

Yes. I didn't read the specs. Free, so I pulled the trigger. I seriously thought double meant double layered.

Got it thanks. It was free. Just had to pay shipping. Thought it might be a good first hammock. Doing some research now. I have a good machine and I'm not afraid to mod it.

I got my first hammock and attempted my first hang. Following the 30% hang angle and a 83% ridgeline.
My hammock is the FoxOutfitters double. Their is a significant amount of material that hangs...

I have tried two different sizes of CPU fan on my last trip. They really didn't move much air. A couple feet away and I really didn't feel it. I haven't found a solution yet.

Rookie gear that's what I was looking for anyway.

Weather needs to turn so you guys have less keyboard time.

Thinking I was having some buyers remorse, I went back into the competitors site...

How about a thread for free stuff or donation thread. You know that stuff that really isn't worth selling that cluttering up you gear closet. A place where someone like myself (no discretionary...

Huge difference. How about weight of that one thou...

What is the difference between the new and old version?

What's new with the new Quarter Done air? Anyone one have and can compare the new specs? Looks like it's just suspension upgrades....

Could it be cut and extended with some aluminum square tube stock from home depot. Get a size the OD will fit in the ID of the extension and run a fews bolts thru? Just thinking out load.

What is the OD of the spreader bars?

Curious if carbon fiber rod would work as spreader bars. I have a bit of a collection of them from RC plans that met their demise.

Not knowing all the verbage yet the pictures are very helpful...
Thank you very much.

Good luck with your search... Curious do you know of any 2 to 3 day backpacking trip trails in Northern Ohio? I would like to take my boys out 8 and 11.

Anything in Northern Ohio. Cleveland area?

This hobby has more acronyms and jargon than any other hobby I have been involved. I think more than aviation. Where is the glossary for this language?

Hello, I just learned about the merit badge from the HYOH podcast. Are requirements for the badge written? And where would I find more information.

I just got a sewing machine from work. I teach and the consumer ed teacher was getting rid of all the machines. Sewing is no longer taught in public school. Shop is out too.
