Boo, not going to be able to make it. My daughter qualified for finals for VHCF the same weekend. Guess I'm going to Lexington instead.

Count Andrea and I in. Hoping for some good cold weather this year.

I'm assuming there should be some benefit to multiple wraps. Some of the parks around here that require 2 inch straps are also ok with using 1 inch straps wrapped twice around the tree.

Thanks for the kind words. This should be the first of many stuff sacks, then my daughter would love a new hammock.

You can't see with ends closed off. But when I pinned my seam to close the tube I shifted everything a quarter inch and they aren't aligned. Not sure how I missed that but... it does what I need.

It's not much... But my Dutch netless and my bugnet don't fit together in the stuff sack that came with the hammock. So here's my first attempt at sewing my own gear.

It's ugly if you look too...

I sent you a pm. I can change the name on the reservation.

That's interesting, I haven't cancelled it yet.

Boo, I reserved a site but I'm going to have to back out. Apparently I have to go to a wedding that weekend.

I'll be bringing something for breakfast and dinner. Just haven't figured out what yet.

It's also possible I didn't check the hang of the underquilt as closely as I thought I did. I'll do better next time.:)

The quilt is great, can't wait to take it out on the trail.

Do you normally see some loosening in the shock cord when it's brand new? That's what it looks like happened to me, the primary...

The tee fittings are interesting. Definitely less likely to wear at the suspension, that's my main concern with what I just threw together this morning.

I considered running a dowel inside, but...

My daughter isn't crazy about hanging under her own tarp away from me so I wanted to try it a spreader bar to get us on the same trees.

This only cost me $3.00 at Lowe's, but it seams to work...

Yeah, it sat much higher when i first set it up. Not sure if the shock cord slipped during the night, or things just stretched out a bit.

Well not usually quite that high. I try to shoot for 6 inches higher than the head. That looks more like a foot... It was late when I set it up.

Slept in it last night, had a low of 30 according my thermometer. Overall a success, but I still have some stuff to figure out with the suspension. Got cold spots a few...

Finally got my Christmas present delivered today. 0 degree Econ incubator. Looks like I'm sleeping outside tonight.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190216/dbdb39e57daeb65b185765880d3764f6.jpg

Does the park have gates that will be closed at dusk? My dad may be cutting it close if he can't get in after dusk.

Yeah, my first night was ok, I'm using a sleeping bag for now, so just laid the bag on the pad. The second night I decided to put the pad inside the bag to try and keep it from moving around on me....

Got out in the backyard over the weekend with my 6 year old, I'm hooked and I think she is too. Temp dropped to about 33 °F and I woke up with a cold back around 5:30 am. Not sure if the foam pad had...

I wish my weekend wasn't already booked or I would totally do this. I should be set for hanging gear once my daughters hammock gets here, ordered the GoRoam set from amazon for her and Amazon...

Just curious how this event would work for young kids. I've got a 6 year old who's eager to go camping with me but I want to make sure there will be things she can do to help out while we work.

Nice, I'll check my schedule for the Old Dominion Hang. Hopefully I can find a spot to hang and test our gear before I venture out for the first time. Unfortunately the trees in my yard leave much to...

Just wanted to pop in and say hello. I got the bug to get out and camp (been wanting to for a long time but never did) and decided a hammock sounded like the way to go.

Right no I'm working on...

I just bought the Hiker Hunger 11' from Amazon for $30 as a first hammock. Pleased with it so far, looking to get out and try it outside the backyard soon.
