Cotton for sure. I recently switched from a synthetic to cotton hat for golfing and it's so much cooler.

Easiest I've found is the Dutch CRL.
All items sold.
The Wooki is sold. It's listed on the ad sold.
The Wooki is sold, as indicated in the ad.
HG DCF /door + Superfly.
Selling some gear to free up space. Bought a lot of gear over the years and need to unload some of my extra gear. Have a habit of buying stuff I don't really need. All prices are PayPal, shipped via...
Looks fantastic. About how far apart are they from each other?
I think Whoopies are fun to use.
Welcome. You can't go wrong with any of those choices. Surprisingly, my wife has put up with my camping and hammock hobby the best. I think it's because she doesn't realize these hammocks and...
That boat race was entertaining. Nothing beats a few days away with some good friends.
Having one above your head would be convenient, having one at your feet would be useless for me as it's not as simple to access. I suppose if your were sitting in the hammock hanging out it wouldn't...
Love it. Didn't catch it at first, but then it clicked.
Okay, so it looks like I'm not being paranoid then.
How close are you willing to get to a campfire and how much distance do you typically give yourself. I've always been a bit paranoid about embers floating from the convection and falling on my gear.

I have a 20F Wooki for the Original Blackbird size hammock.
PM sent as well.
So is that a 4 piece rod? Looks like it packs down pretty well.
Alarming... I'd have to switch underwear.
Great hammock country over there!
Most hikers that are using DCF tents are probably using trekking poles already. Many manufacturers will sell carbon fiber poles in the event a person doesn't use the poles. In that instance, I...
I had to train myself to sleep on my back. I somehow end up on my stomach anyway, but I try to cross my arm and fall asleep. Spent a month at home sleeping on my back to prep for my last tent...
Can you tell me about your fishing setup? I'm interested in a packable rod, reel, and tackle system.
I always have to have one. My only quilt is a 20°F. If it's really hot I'll use an underquilt and skip the top quilt.
$15is pretty affordable. How do they hold up?
If that's your lower limit, you'd be looking at a 1 season summer quilt, 0°C/40°F. In colder weather you'll be pushing it. -6°C/20°F is considered you 3 season, spring/summer/fall quilt. - 17°C/0°F...
Under quilt seems more important. Its easier to throw on some extra clothes or add a fleece liner, but it's hard to make your under quilt warmer. I suppose you can add a pad, but I typically am not...
30 hours. Is that because it was a one of a kind or can you shorten that production time down with more volume?
This is a pretty neat idea. A more expensive version would be a screened in gazebo. Could make it as big as you like.
If you have a light/fair weather tarp, is pick up the superfly. You'll be covered for good weather and then have something for winter or bad weather.
Welcome to the party.
What tent is this?
That's pretty neat. did you have to do any training or positive reinforcement to go in there?
You can definitely make an argument for both. I personally don't like having anything hanging above me on the ridge line. Feels weird having something hanging there to me. I also don't like the...
Wouldn't you just be pulling on the house then? I wonder what kind of load would be on the house if you used a pulley. At that point is it over engineering? Could probably just put a post in the...
I've never had a problem with my tarp in the wind. Just tie of one side of the ridgeline, slowly let the tarp out to your other side and tie that off. then stake out your guylines. The part I have...
I'd like to know more about that pack and how that canister is attached.
I use these methods here because I enjoy knots:

We are very sneaky sir...
The future is now. We're living in it.
Did you have to make any adjustments to the rubber band or carabiner?
This is exactly what I do.
That tarp, hammock, and quilt setup looks super fast. Very impressive. Is the quilt built into the hammock?
The BB and Wookie is make things so simple. Super easy.
Any reason they are at an angle vs 90 vertical?
I avoid anything that's holding up part of my house. That pole is designed to support the load from above, not pulled to the side. I'm not an engineer or an expert on the matter, but if it were my...
There is so much personal preference I'd be scared to buy something for a person that is already into hammocks. If they have no clue, then go for it or get something else camping related like a...
The dates are definitely correct. That's awesome. This was my first multi-night trip and although I got dumped on a couple times, it was wonderful. There was definitely some green tunnel action going...
Ahh, thanks. Makes sense now. I guess I just need to be a little more aggressive with my squishing and wrapping.
Good call. Since you have a smaller one, get the superfly. Covers you for winter and really bad weather.
I'd learn some good knots and use sailing line rope.
