Would love to be out there. Just getting back into hammock and camping after surgery a few years ago... I'm 20 minutes away (max.). I thought the pictures on FB were Turkey Run group site. I...

Grapevine... Same here. I didn't know that was it's name. I use it for a few things with shock cord.
Hope the HH is doing well for you.

I made snake skin like sleeves with shock cord cinches on their ends. Each of the two skins is the length of the clews and about 1 - 1.5 inch wide. When stored skin is spread out and shock cord...

#448 received today!!! The only problem is now I know what quality looks like... I'll never look at my DIY stichtes the same again. And it is a dark olive body as well. Everyone knows the dark...

kitsapcowboy - much thanks as always! There goes my reason for not ordering one of those smart phone ridgeline hanger things...

For another perspective... I used the Dyneema/polypro straps for six nights during the winter before switching to DIY straps. The first night I did notice some stretch (approx 4 inch drop in butt...

TxAggy - no worries. Hope you have been able to get out and hang. While waiting for the Chameleon to arrive I put a zippered net on the Wife's hammock. Works well but it not done by Dutch's Elves!...

Hangandy - Please, predict that my new Chameleon is received prior to my next campout. 19-21 May if that helps with the "prediction".

Thanks,
CowPatty

Be careful... your bike might become a mere means of getting you somewhere to set up you hammock. Hammock Addiction, it's a thing!

Welcome to the largest group of hammock addiction enablers.

#448 Charge notice received...

No matter which way you take you will likely beat us there. Bass Pro, Green Top and Cabela's are all along our route! We may be setting up in the dark at this rate.

I'm hoping my new Chameleon comes in from Dutch before Friday... but that's not going to happen. #448. I'd say I'm waiting patiently, however that would be a lie. All in good time...

From a new(er) hangers perspective -
IF not hiking... IF wanting to stay dry for under $40... Kelty Noah 12 is a great tarp. IF you want lighter weight, more compact and under $60, DIY is a...

Welcome, from Stafford, VA.

+1 on the Old Dominion Hangers Spring Hang.

First things first... Thank you, leiavoia!

Used the Gemini in winter mode this weekend with temperature lows at 31 & 37 deg and raining both nights. First night I had the floppy sides. ...

ASM for Troop 845 out of Stafford VA. One other ASM and I do the hammock thing. My son prefers a hammock. The Troop leadership is hesitant to support hammock use and as such we di not have a...

Welcome! I'm an Assistant Scout Master for a Troop. Matter of fact there are a lot of Scouters and former Scouts on this forum. There is also a lot of info as I'm sure you have seen.

Payment sent.

I'll take it. Send PayPal info via PM

Yep, bring her. A buddy and I are splitting a small cabin that weekend to put our Wives up in. All the Kids will hang so they will get a little free time as well.

Good catch Rais'n Hammock. I did not see the links.

Scooting Magazine just put out a short article about hammock camping. Here is the link http://scoutingmagazine.org/2016/10/expert-approved-tips-sleeping-comfortably-hammock/

PM sent with description of what I have...

What kind of stand are you looking for?

Lorton! Nice. Your just up the road a bit from me. Cannot go wrong with orange! Looking forward to trying out the Hexon 1.6 soon myself.

Happy Hanging.

US Marine for... long enough.

Not as Mean.
Not as lean.
Still a Marine.

Following... Starting to put mine together for a camp out a week from now.

I was hoping for it to be easier without the need for accurate sewing/measurements of the separating zippers the length of each side, less sewing without the triangles, less cost with three hammocks...

My first time out was a low of 29* with no wind. That was with radiant pad, wally world CCF pad and all three parts of the Military Sleep System (MSS)... I was ok until 0330 when I woke up with...

My bad! Jungle Expedition Zip. I liked the double layer so I could use a pad between the layers to start off with (cheaper intro). Also have the radiant double bubble pad. I could ask the Wife if...

Figured $125. I lucked into it for $150 and used it to see if I'd like it... That was four months ago. I anticipate having my Chameleon in the first half of April. Understand if this is to far...

You / he can have my complete Hennessy Expedition Zip setup, but not until I get my Chameleon delivered... It's a 10 footer though. Include reflective pad, whoopies, two sets of snake skins (1 set...

Do you plan to do a write up on this project when your done?

There are a couple other projects on my list before I get to the Fronkey style nets (x3) project. That means I have time to change...

Nope. It's yours. I saw your first post I'll take it earlier. Thought I was going nuts! I'll mod my post above to remove the I'll take it.

Zilla has it.

It's all good.

Looking for a down Top Quilt in the 30-50 deg range. In good or better shape. Looking to spend under $150 delivered (zip 22554).

Leiavoia - Please verify that I have this correct. You recommend the smaller diameter cord 1/32 rather than the larger 1/16. Want to make sure we are not talking about 3/32 as 1/32 is so thin. ...

The food sign-up is under the "Food" tab! Who would have looked there? Haha. Thanks.

We look forward to the hang and meeting you all. We can pitch in with some Dutch Oven French Toast or whatever is needed. I singed up on the google sheet but did not see a food/meals signup. Did I...

PharmGeek... Pics, details, suggestions... requested. I have three GE hammocks to add bug nets to (Wife's and two kids). I like the Fronkey style however I really like the way the Raven net...

I get head aches from the dry winter air... dry sinuses. Likely just me though.

Is that Hexon you used? If so, is that the Dark Olive or Forest Green?

Great video. I like the foot box / Knotty Mod. They are easy to do and it never fails that I want one where / when I...

Wider material = wider hammock. You can get a flatter lay. 11 foot hammock is going to be a huge improvement for me. Taller folk bennifit the most from the wide I believe. If you are not...

I see ya'll pledging for the wide... am I missing something. It has not opened up that I can see. Really only $15?

In stock at Woodbridge VA Ikea...

Olive Green... Anyone know why the 1.6 Olive Green is not available for the Chameleon? Seems to me it would be a perfect color for a Chameleon Hammock. Then again I guess they all are.

"CowPatty" - First time out in a hammock was with a group of Boy Scouts in a wooded area of a farm. While we were teaching Wilderness Survival skills one of the cows goes up to my hammock and...

Thanks PharmGeek! I'll be doing a couple DIY (undecided on material) tarps for the kids... project for while I'm waiting on the new hammock.

Let's go! $5243 to go! CowPatty needs a new Xenon Sil Hex Tarp!!!

P.S. This is my first post...
