My allergies hit hard during Hangcon this year. Grabbed my bandanna from the pack and the Benadryl from the first aid kit. I hung the bandanna from the ridge line when not in use. Apologies to my...

Nice saw case. It won’t disappear into the undergrowth. As mentioned there are techniques to hide the stitching but hey this is a field case for a saw. Get some pitch on it and toss it in the mud a...

Made my first HangCon this year and dragged the family along. We arrived late and left early but still had a great time. Many thanks to all who planned, prepped, and helped out. Already planning our...

Not going to be in today liked I hoped. Its a make up weather day so the kids have school. Well see you tomorrow.

Yeah needs more snaps as it come undone. Not worried about sealing it up. I live in Florida and while I love the pile of floof I made its too warm. Today’s low was 69 so the 0 degree footbox is...

I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade from a fleece blanket to a proper top quilt. Spectre Hexcam HyperD top, with orange Airwave inside. Doubled up the 5oz Apex at the foot end. Snaps to form a...

Fellow noob here, I second the advice to try before you buy. I did not and made a mistake. My Amazon special $40 tarp is long and narrow. Even pitching it below the hammock's suspension and in a...

CLOAK BUDDY! Yes my "wool blanket" is also really a wool cloak from my SCA days in New York. Love that thing but there is little to no use for it here in Florida. HangCon will be a good excuse to...

BookwormStorm,

Come down and I’ll challenge you to the most newbie unprepared rig. [emoji16] My underquilt is 2.5 APEX and is probably rated for 40 deg.

I’m hoping warm sleepwear and a wool...

Woo Buddy !

Wife's on board and we are going to our first HangCon! We'll be in the ground dweller area since we are just starting to gear up. Wife is eager to checkout the different hammock styles...

Thank you for the dates. I’ve been wondering when too. Now clearing the calendar with hopes of dragging the whole family out.

Looking forward to a weekend of research as I figure out getting 5...

Very tempting. If my gear wasn't all set up for family car camping. Not hauling the foot locker 2.5 miles. Maybe if I can scrounge up a pack and convince the wife to handle the kids solo.

My wife was very confused on our last camp out when I said "That's a purdy boil" over and over.





she made me stop

If you have access to an embroidery hoop it will help keep the fabric stretched smooth for you to sew it back up evenly. Then yes 10 min fix with needle and thread.

I'm in for #3

The Chill Gorilla looks better than my Serac tarp from amazon. While it kept me dry the Serac is only 6’ wide. I had to go with a narrow/ steep pitch to get enough side coverage. I’m sure to get wet...

Congratulations to the winners. This was a fun contest. Maybe I can hint to the wife that I "need" that pillow for my birthday.

That pillow looks like a blast.


Sorry not sorry.

Welcome to HF. I lived in COMO for several years. Miss Rock Bridge and good BBQ the most. I'm a recent convert to hammocks and with all of 2 nights under my belt the only thing that is getting me...

Hows this kitty CMC4free

I wake most morning to a cat in my face. Often nipping my nose to get my attention. "FEED ME NOW, hooman"

I agree the UI needs work. I was playing with fabric for a tarp. I had a phonographic landscape i wanted mirrored on the length, every time i rotated it the software make it square. I finally got it...

Custom projection from an opera I designed the lights for. Still a favorite image.

Welcome fellow new hanger. If you are looking at tarps on Amazon check the width. I bought a $50 hex tarp and found the 6’ width a little short. My wife laughed at my butt hanging out. It did keep me...

I had looked at the spreader bars but forgotten about bunking. My mind went straight to a star of Tensa stands and some complicated tarping. Now i just need to get the wife to allow me to keep...

I was at B36 which is right next to the restroom and ranger station. I bit bright at night and slightly high traffic. Easy in and out of the campground. I think there are more trees in the upper D...

Just got back from my first camping trip where I was able to sleep in the hammock. Took the family to the Smokies and stayed at Smokemont campground. The rangers were hammock friendly, just double...

Good thread. Thank you all for the advice. I'm headed to the Smokies this weekend to test my new hammock setup. With temps in the 85/65 range I was wondering about warm weather camping.
I'll be...

My father had a 2 person Colombian hammock he brought back from Mexico. Most comfortable hammock I’ve used. I could lay 90 dev and I’m 6’. Unlike the cheap rope hammocks you used to see there was no...

hello Scott I was in your neck of the woods the end of May feeding the ticks at O'Leno State Park with the Cub Scouts. I had a little time to fiddle with the hammock but spent most of it chasing kids...

Hey neighbor,

That is the weekend I'll be in the Smokies otherwise I'd be trying to convince the wife to go. Maybe next time. Hoping I can make to the next HangCon at the least.

Hello new hanger here. I've been slowing putting together a kit. Heading to GSMNP Smokemont to give things a test drive. Previous attempts were with Cub Scouts and the hammock became a toy. I've been...
