Welcome aboard from Newfoundland.
This happened to me and I can assure you my experience wasn't staged. All my fault in terms of negligence in terms of tying up. I didn't roll out of the way, I was just spared by the Fates. You...
My first (and only) tarp has doors and I'm very glad to have them, but I live in a windy, rainy place. Weight isn't critical for me (usually I travel by canoe rather that on foot) but even if I was...
Welcome aboard!
Welcome aboard!
That’s me, too. Sleep like a vampire in the hammock.
Welcome to the forum
Little Shop of Hammocks. Canadian, great gear, great fella.
Welcome aboard.
Check out Little Shop of Hammocks. Canadian! No affiliation, just a happy customer.
Welcome aboard.
Nice distraction from the goings-on. Thanks for that, Shug. Hold fast.
Little Shop of Hammocks in......Saskatchewan!
Welcome aboard!
James at Little Shop of Hammocks. I’m a very satisfied, repeat customer. Great guy who makes great kit.
Tensioning for sag is good but there’s also the matter of wind. If you get wind like I do, something’s gotta give. If you’re lucky, your stake pulls outta the ground (but then, that shouldn’t...
I’d go for July, August. The weather then is more reliable (it’s a relative thing) and it’s back end of icebergs, still prime whales, and less bugs.
Glad to hear you can hammock it all. I’ve only done some parts and was wondering the same thing. There’s some pretty good trail information on the ECT website. Choose the summer months and you’ll...
Welcome aboard
When Shug comments on your HF post, you grow a full inch taller.
Welcome Mick. I'm just back from four years in Aberdeen. The UK is good hanging country. Enjoy!
Glad folks enjoyed the read.
You bet, Shug. Eyes to the sky from now on.
The trip was the group’s second annual canoe trip. Last year, we canoed the Gander River (Newfoundland) from Glovertown to Gander Bay and the intention was to repeat it in 2019. However, we felt...
Welcome. I’m 2 weeks removed from 4 years in Aberdeen. Best of luck getting StrungUp
Am I the only person whose wife, before heading upstairs to bed, says something along the lines of "Goodnight. Don't stay up too late watching that Shug fella"?
A day with a new Shug video is a...
Ordering my first TQ and, from this thread thus far, believe 20deg F. is the way to go (I have a 20g UQ, afterall).
I have width options of 52", 55", and 58". I won't be using it other than in...
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssss
Love my LSOH gear. James was great when it came to advising me on options.
Come to Newfoundland.
Good for you. The shakedown cruise is always important.
I fell, as a slow rate, the very first time I sat in my hammock. Twisted strap buckles (following all of my messing around). My fault and lesson learned.
Nova Scotia is lovely. Or, get a slightly better jacket and head to Newfoundland and turn it up to 11!
I had this problem, too, and in the end picked a sunny day (challenge in Scotland) and staked it out flat on the lawn, sealed it, and let it dry for 4-6 hours. Then hit it with the talcum powder and...
Welcome aboard.

Welcome! I've been to a shipyard in Pori and, like most business trips Ive been on, never got a chance to look round the town. Was nice, from what I saw of it.
Welcome board. Lots to read here and hopefully for you to write, too.
I'm excited for you. I have an Toaster UQ and am just saving up for the TQ. Deadly gear.
I was sure I saw you here before now....
Very nice. Great photos. Thanks for sharing.
That titanium trowel looks to be the bee's knees. It's good I don't have the skills nor equipment to make things out of titanium or I'd slowly be replacing every metal object in my life that was...
Welcome aboard!
Sorry for the delay, missed this one. The LSOH is great and James (the owner and ‘
firesong’ here on the forum) is great.
I can’t speak for the duties as I get that gear when I’m in Canada.
Welcome to the forum. It’s a Narnia.
Don’t mind the missus with the hole in her shoes.
Don’t mind the cold with me fingers turning blue.
Don’t mind the pantry when there’s nar bit of grub.
But it’s hellish when you got no baccy!

I’ve been a very good boy.
Nice to have another member from the UK. Nice kit list. Welcome aboard.
Hello and welcome. Good name!
Welcome. Indeed, if you're a tarp man then you're not 'converting', you're 'enhancing'.
Work - good idea.
Here’s what I do: start high. Start talking about sailboats or
Sports cars. Kayaks and hammocks seem a deal thereafter.
