I jumped on this challenge and completed it when it was first posted but I haven't been as strict and certainly haven't been posting since I completed it. Thanks @Hobopelican for keeping with it all...
Thanks for the responses. I'm pretty happy with the quilts, George makes really high quality gear and obviously doesn't cheap out on the amount of down he uses. I think I'll end up selling my 20°...
So I just received my first order from Loco Libre and I will have to say I'm just as impressed as I thought I would be with the craftsmanship, these quilts are outstanding. I'm very excited to put...
I might have one available, I'm just trying to decide what to do as I just recieved my order from Loco Libre for a 40° and 0° quilt to compliment my full length Lynx 20° UQ. I should have paid...
If the hammock is 11' long it should be plenty comfortable. After a certain point you are paying a lot more for features than comfort. Zippered bug nets, options for top covers, storage options,...
Resurrecting this thread. Here's a couple from a recent trip. I'm using the WBRR and my son is in the gathered...
I did the initial 12 months when this thread started and haven't been as consistent since but I've gotten a few in this year. Here's the most recent now that I'm tinkering with a bridge hammock...
Welcome from a fellow Utah hanger. I'll second the post above about getting out to test gear now. Overnight temps in the salt lake valley right now are similar to what you'll find on a Uintas trip in...
You mean this thread? :lol:
Thanks for the reply, it's good to hear it doesn't interfere with the UQ. I may have to do some experimenting with a pad and see what I think. I've been extremely comfortable without the pad so I...
For those of you using a pad for comfort in conjunction with an UQ for insulation, does the pad effect the fit of the UQ at all? Sorry, not trying to hijack the thread... I haven't tried a pad in...
All items sold and paid for, moving the thread. Thanks.

Purchased in spring of 2017 when they first started making the econ line.

1) ** SOLD** I have for sale a like new HG 0* Econ Incubator (standard length with no overfill). Dark Olive outer color, Black inner color. I've never actually slept with it, hence my reason for...
I checked the website yesterday and it showed Loco Libre is still making UQ's for the RR. I think I'll end up with one too, since for comparable temperature ratings they are actually a bit less than...
Are you guys using trekking poles for spreader bars if you are backpacking with the RR? I always bring trekking poles anyway, but none of mine are compatible with the RR. With a trekking pole...
This isn't my video but I do basically the same thing with my Superfly as he does here. Or at least I used to before I started switching things to rubber wire ties instead of snakeskins. Either way...
Funny stuff, I grew up in Layton and now live in Fruit Heights. Small world.

I haven't slept in a GE since I got the RR so I may be in the same boat after I try the GE again, I guess I'll see how it goes. For now the plan is still to use a GE for backpacking and the RR for...
Even though I've never owned one, yet, George's quilts have always given me the impression that they are some of the best out there. I wasn't aware he made RR specific quilts, so I'll definitely...
Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a try my next time out.

Yes, the bottom end of the UQ has the micro biners attached to the quilt via heavy rubber bands.

Right, sorry if my response sounded like I was implying anything else, I was just trying to add to what you had said that it has been done before. Carry on!
So during a sale earlier this year I picked up one of Warbonnet's RR hammocks, with a Spindrift Sock and full length Lynx UQ. I've always wanted to try a bridge hammock and finally splurged for it. ...
SmokeHouse was the first one I'm aware of making hammock "hot tents". I'm pretty sure he's not making them anymore but I want one even though I'd probably only use it on rare ocassions.

Bringing this thread back up to add my two cents on tarp setup. Early on, I didn't see the value in snake skins, until I tried to set up a Superfly in the wind. At that point snake skins became a...
I've never tried using a hammock inside of a tent, but I can vouch for the Kodiak Spring Bar tents. They are high quality and worth the money if you are going to use a tent for car camping. They...
Having tried it both ways I recommend using 2 poles to get it longer, 13' should be plenty. Depending on how you attach the hammock one pole can work but it's tight and won't have much adjustability...
He is still adjusting to it. Not used to sleeping on his back so, although comfortable, he had a tough time shutting down mentally and sleeping. He definitely enjoyed not kneeling on the ground and...
Haha, I'll admit the tarp was a lot more work than I anticipated. I've made plenty of hammocks but that tarp was way more difficult.
My Father In-law's first overnight hang in a hammock. He's also using the tarp I made for him, my first tarp build as well.

It varies by how tall the tripod legs are, how high up the legs you attach the cord, what angle you prefer you legs sit at, etc. Get the legs set how you want and set the cord accordingly. The cord...
I use it outside regularly and it works fine if you understand its limitations. Unless you are in the hammock to weigh it down or have a tarp strung up and staked down the hammock will act like a...
Interesting thread. I'll share my experience. My favorite hammock material is no longer available 1.4 PolyD. I love the feel of it as it has the perfect amount of stretch for me. That said, it...
You can probably use a 10' top rail if you hook the hammock almost directly to the pole. The general rule is a Ridgeline length of 83% of the hammock length. Remember that doesn't include any...
It depends on how you attach the hammock but I'd say for most types of attachment 13' is about as short as you want to go. Most have theirs in the 13'-15' range. The way you can go shorter is by...
Not necessarily. Some people like some stretch, some people like more stiff fabric. Just like some people prefer a more firm mattress, etc. Also, there are some very lightweight fabrics that don't...
The Hexon 1.6 has a nice feel to it but it has a bit more stretch than the PolyD 1.4. I struggle with having a hammock weigh more and be less comfortable for me to sleep in... The Hexon 1.6 really...
PolyD 1.4 is still my favorite hammock fabric. I can live with the drawbacks Dutch mentioned because it provides the perfect amount of stretch for me. I have never been as comfortable in a hammock...
You are correct. Ibantik Lake.

I drilled the hole to make it larger on mine. Just make sure you are taking metal from the top side of the hole so it still has some structural integrity.
I cut my ridgepoles with a hack saw. A...
Again, what you are hanging from won't make much difference in how it feels once you are in the hammock. Other factors will play a much bigger role in your comfort, ie. fabric type, ridgeline...
Woodsie8, I think you are overthinking it. Sure some materials are more durable or lighter weight etc. but once you are in the hammock you won't notice any difference between any of the materials...
Not an overnight hang but a nice spot nonetheless. This is why I always have a spare hammock in my truck. Second pic is my view looking up from the...
