Start with wild ponies and how can you lose!
Great picks. Thanks for sharing.
i don't watch anyone else. Maybe you used them for something else. I thought I remember you said you always bring a couple?
Shug also carries a small clip or two to seal up the errant gap or sag. Most times it's just easier than getting out and tweaking with the suspension.
Each hang is a little different. Conditions...
Nothing seems to dry much under my tarp overnight. Especially if it's raining. I figure on mornings that I also have condensation on the inside of my tarp that is also in my clothes if they are...
The answer is Hammock9
I've moved to sewn-in bottom insulation for a couple years now in a custom Sheltowee~Bonefire Whisper Asym. No turning back now! Just kidding, but it's my favorite for now for sure. Creating a better...
GT for about 2 months. BIAS WW then DH Freebird. Still sleep most nights in a Freebird. My goto on the trail went from there to a Sheltowee/Bonefire~Whisper. Which is a10' 30 degree Asym with full...
I have one of those. Spends too much time in the footbox to be any help on the other end. :tonguesmilie:
Nemo Fillo Elite. 3oz
Retired both my SLD and my other Nemo Fillo. It's a little smaller, different materials, and paper light. Packs down to about the size of a pair of socks.
Yikes Stripes! It's perforated :tonguesmilie:
Pretty standard set-up in anything but warmer weather a 40/20 kit might suit a bit better in most regions. Looking to lighten up? How light, lighter, lightest?
JRB has a nice line of quilts in...
The reviews are even better. This is truly a great deal, and Daddy loves it!
I've always packed my CRL attached to my tarp. No problems no worries. How do you even get the tarp in a set of snakeskins after removing it from the CRL?
Most have the slide lock on one side as well as pressure activation. I didn't find the slider switch on mine until changing the battery.

They've always been short but now it seems as GT has given up on the diagonal lay altogether.
I use a small LED keychain light. I hang it from an elastic hair tie prusik knotted to my SRL, which also serves as sort of a line lock for when I shove my gear sling back out of the way. It's always...
Always start on my back then roll to my right side, then back and forth left to right the rest of the night.
I'm short. I can manage this at home in my 10.5' Freebird and in the woods with my 10'...
Silvrhalflife FTW!
Thermarest sit pad slightly inflated along with down jacket around the outside.
I listen to Shug :tonguesmilie:
I used skins too....until I didn't. Then I went to shockcord rings or elastic hairties.
Being UL, everything is as much about volume as it is weight. This does the trick. In fact. There's so much...
Save your fingers!
Use the cmoulder fold on your tarp. Never have tangles and never have to coil again.

Material does not warm up and neither do you. What insulation really does is slow down the rate of heat loss from your body. Once you've reached the point where you are producing heat faster than you...
Or join HF in April for the HF Spring Hang in the HNF Deam Wilderness and get to see and try out many different options and opinions.
Everyone welcome even ground pounders and non-members. See...
If I was using a Winter Palace I might not bring a ground cloth either! In fact I could probably spread my DCF Hex out underneath one of those and use it like a footprint :shades:
I carry an Anker powerbank for my phone. At night I will hook my phone up to it and stuff them both in my Rellectix food cozy. Both put off heat while charging. Seems to work as well as sleeping with...
I actually like this too. An extra sheet of Reflectix seems way more capable of doing extra duty than most ground sheet considerations.
Don't forget the balls :sneaky:
The Helinox Ground chair indeed does sit on the ground, or nearly so. The chair sits on a solid square frame. The Ground chair has no feet and needs no balls. It's also the lightest chair they make....
No shame in using poles, staff, grab loop or combination.
I can still manage the in and out on the hammock w/o help, using the walk back method, but recently I've been using a Helinox Ground...
Works on paper just not practical in space.
Zero gravity in space isn't a real thing. On the surface of the moon when astronauts hop, they come back to the ground. Inside a ship orbiting earth you are technically in free fall.
Better than sleeping on top of a heat sink.
I had a large WW tent worn out from Festival days past. I cut a 2' x 2.5' piece out of the rain fly and it became my goto.
I've had great intention to cut a more even and better-looking piece and...
It really makes a difference, if you can, to use the main internal space of any pack to hold all and only the things you need to actually stay dry. Mine goes pillow on the bottom, TQ, Hammock, DH...
My Goto at home most nights is a Freebird with some years of age on it. Still goes to deer camp, on occasion, when I get a chance to stack quilts.
It's my second one!
SilverSurfcrafter!
i stack x2 20 degree UQ's for cold weather. One is 2/3 length the other 3/4. The longest quilt should be first then the shorter of the two on the outside. Otherwise the shorter quilt will create an...
Tarp containment units are generally a reference to commercial or construction spill control systems.
Trailheadz isn't in that end of the business as far as I can tell.
I use braided mason line for my prusik knots. Bites well into both AmSteel and the other Dyneemas. Cheap buy it anywhere.
Extra wraps also help slippage.
Folded that way my HG Hex practically jumps back into the provided stuff sack. Before the cmoulder fold that nice DCF stuff sack was a one time user. It would come out and never go back.
Also...
You mean all I had to do to stop counting grams was buy a kayak!!!! :scared:
That's a couple a nice cmoulder folds.
Just the time I don't spend wrapping that cordage into figure 8's probably saves me 10mins on every tear down.
That did it for me. I'll be sending that Tenkara order in and probably won't get a chance to use it much before next spring.
Life is short.
Weight and suspension work against each other. Concept is great and organic but not hiker friendly. I've seen Shug and the ultra-cold hangers using it, but for the most part it's a worn item not so...
Not quite as minimalist. 4 stakes. Straps and a little Ti-ware but only one suspension.
Tie-outs stay on the tarp. They provide the finish wrap on the cmoulder fold before jumping back in it's...
I've done this a couple times myself. does improve posture.
That and my last words will probably be something like, "Well that didn't work out right"
If that is the Facebook meet up, In the past it has been held at the Blackwell Horse Campground. Trailmedic or Yogi should know for sure. They were on the credit list for the Youtube Video of last...
Last week was moving stands and setting up deer camp. Old red clay farmland. I was actually pounding my MSR's in with a short piece of 2x4.
I can highly recommend these stakes :tonguesmilie:
