I don't feel that a tarp is absolutely necessary, of course everyone has their own way to hang. My homemade tarp is light and small enough to take with me just to have, but unless it's...

I go tips down, mostly because I got used to wrapping the lines around sticks/dead branches... it was just the most logical way for me.

Definitely wired stuff going on, at about 8:30 it was dark, sitting by the campfire and a bumble bee flew into camp, buzzed around for a few seconds and took off. Even the bees are confused.

Seems like it should be cooler this time of year, but it was nice bring bug net free for the night. Rain fly used as a pine cone...
So, it weighs in at 18.6oz - overall dimensions opened all the way up is 81"x52" and packs down to roughly 8"x10", could compress a little more if I really...
I'll weigh it when I get home and get back to you, should have done that in the video. As far as packability, I can fit this and my under quilt in 1 large Sea to Summit compression sack and compress...
Thank you!

A couple months ago I posted my DIY summer quilts I made, the under quilt turned out really well but I somehow made the top quilt too short lol. It was useable but I decided to make a new one and...
Got out Friday night to give my quilt set a proper test, along with the whole hammock setup. I had a change of mind on the hammock itself, made myself a 10 foot out of 1.7oz Robic XL and swapped that...
I haven't tried the Costco quilt, but I've just recently made a set of quilts with the Climashield 2.5 and with a little patience they turned out pretty good. It really comes down to price and time,...
Finally getting out to test the quilts tonight, looks like the temperature is going down to low 40's high 30's Fahrenheit. Since the 2.5oz Climashield is only rated to 50 I will take along my Snugpak...
Working on a step by step for my quilts, just not sure if I should do a video or just write it up. Until then, here's a look at my whole DIY setup, I got a chance to set it up this weekend, didn't...
I'll get something put together as I have time after work.

Yes, it's 2.5 oz Climashield, I based these on my Eno Spark and Ember2 quilts just because I like the shaped UQ... less re-positioning once its hanging. I can put together some steps as to what my...
Goofily this weekend, but that's going to depend on the weather.

So, after a few months of teaching myself some basic building methods on some projects like hammock bodies and tarps and a sad attempt at a set of winter quilts (functional but ugly as can be), I...
Yeah Salt Springs... I had just been talking to someone about Silver Springs in Florida.
I was always a tent camper, and had never so much as sat in a hammock of any kind until December '15. After my friend and I had talked a little about hammocks to carry while hiking I had found a...
Was just out your way on Black Friday hiking at Silver Springs SP... love it up there
If I can get a test in before either of these I'll try to get out. My store bought quilts are only 50 degrees... I can eek high 30's out of them 20's and lower if I throw in my 0 degree bag (I sleep...
Every now and then, technically I did last year but it wasn't much of a winter... lol
Hello HammockForums!
New to the site, but feel like I've spent most of my life outdoors camping, hiking, kayaking and otherwise avoiding the "civilized" world. Just got in to hammock camping this...
