I’ll bring brats, buns and beer. Does that sound okay?
Windy? Sounds dreamy. I have some new wind surf gear I've been wanting to try. I might have to bounce over to Willow Springs if things get exciting.
Can I help with food or booze? I'm happy...
Is the hang 100% happening? I’m around this weekend. It would be fun to get outside. Temps should be perfect.
Exactly right!!!
I'm going to cancel the first weekend of March. I have a trial starting the following tuesday and need to prepare. If any of you want to suggest dates for later in march or Arpil, I'm happy to...
That is one possibility.
Planning a date is always tricky. So let's move this out to March so we can have plenty of time to plan. The date will be March 1-3. If you can make it, cool. If not - we'll be doing it again next...
I called the ranger station to inquire about winter camp sites, but they are closed due to the government shut down. Road 300 even if open it can be tricky with all the snow we’ve had recently. One...
I’m available the weekend of Jan 25 or February 1. What do you think about those dates? There is lots of snow, so conditions will be ideal.
Snow will be falling soon. Forecast is saying almost a foot will fall on Sunday. Stay tuned.
It looks really cool and fun to build. However, it seems like once you warm up the canvas tent, the walls from your snow trench would melt, causing a big wet mess under your hammock. I'd like to...
I had a ridge runner. They are long when setup correctly. That said, I'm confident it would fit withing the 13' Tato stand. You just need to play with it a little bit.
I could easlily get the...
I threw a gathered end, bridge, and 90 degree hammock up on the Tato stand. One of them did not do so well.

Usually when I make a video about a piece of gear, I wait until I've used the gear a few times and then report my findings. I was so excited to get the Tato Gear Hammock Stand that I decided to set...
I'd check out the Townsend Luxury Bridge Hammock before you decide on some of the other suggestions. It is a game changer the way the Trail Lair is a game changer in the gathered end world.
We had to improvise a similar setup on a camping trip to CA. State park ranger wouldn’t let us hang from trees. It ended up being a fun adventure we still talk about today.
I live in the desert and it hasn’t happened. Even in the land of cactus, you can always find 2 trees.
The posts are 15.5’ apart. I used the ends to reinforce the middle section. I’m super excited to have a hammock lab in the back yard. I’ve got lots of fun videos planned. We’ll be reviewing gear,...
With the help of many of you on the forum, I decided to build a backyard hammock stand. The materials were all found at Home Depot.
2 - 4x6x12 treated posts
2 2 2x5x16 treated boards
12 - 3"...
Get a Winter Haven with snaps, tie locks, and the pole mod. Then return to the forum and tell us all how amazing it is. You can thank me later. :cool:
Looks like we have some interest. Now we just need some snow. I heard they are already making snow at Snowbowl. Hopefully we have a good winter. Can you guys comment on the proposed dates? I want to...
The Luxury Bridge is way better
The ridgerunner is not the best side sleeping hammock out there, but a pad will certainly help you accomplish your goals. I like the Exped wide and tall pads. I have the Synmat 7 and the Downmat 9,...
Bill that is so simple!!! Thanks for explaining it to me. I wasn’t following your first explanation, but I get it now. I’ll throw some blocks in there today. Thanks a ton.
Found my way into a CA state park and was promptly told I couldn’t hang my hammock from their precious trees. Luckily my buddy was there with his truck. We improvised and ended up hanging in between...
Bill, I have no idea what this means, but coming from you I'm sure its a great idea. :cool:
"A piece of 2x solid block at 1/3rd points or 1/4 points will stiffen that rail (and potentially the...
Not sure if the creek has a name. Its a dry creek that runs through Star Valley. It only runs during big rains.
Here is the semi final product. I left the posts long because I think they look cool. I may add some 45's for bracing, but it's rock solid right now. I'm also going to add some eyelets once I...
I live on a couple of acres and have pleanty of room to play with. I just think it will be more fun to have a structure. My kids and I make youtube videos and we have a bunch of ideas that we plan...
That is a big relief. I'm prepared to overbuild this thing if need be, but I think it will be solid. I'll have it done by tomorrow and I'll post some pictures.
I dug down 30 inches and hit solid rock. I live in Arizona and my soil is decomposed granite. I think I’m going to dig a much wider whole, use concrete, install a top piece, and brace with 45s as...
I built one. They are pretty fun to play with. I even used it in the wild 3-4 times. My only gripe is how much sway you get. Everytime I roll over, I feel the boat rocking for a minute or so. In...
My new house doesn't have any trees to hang a hammock from. I am going to build a permanent hammock stand out of treated lumber. I have several hammocks of various lengths. My question is: What is...
I've got a couple version of this hammock and love them both. My only complaint is there is a bit of a banana shape that I wish was less pronounced, but it's not that big a deal.
I write the name on the stuff sack with a giant magic marker. Example: 90 degree tarp, Winter haven tarp, 90 degee hammock with net, Netless 90 degree hammock, Lair hammock, etc.
Since a lot...
Here are some pics of last year to hopefully get you excited. It was a fun weekend.

I really like the Hammock Tent 90 degree hammock. It is my favorite hammock to throw a pad in. The Amok is also a good choice, but I like the Hammock Tent more. Maybe the 3.0 will change my mind. ...
I'm super bummed I missed the past two hangs. Life with little kids gets crazy sometimes. That said, I had a great time at our last winter hang up at Snowbowl. I've been pulling out my winter gear...
I got an English Mastiff this year and this will be our first winter together. I'd like to take him on an overnighter but I have no idea where to start. When hammock camping, where does the dog...
Forest has been reopened and fire restrictions have been lifted.
So bummed I missed it. Glad you guys had a great time.
Well I got bad new this morning. I have to be in Court this afternoon in Globe and then spend my weekend getting ready for a trial that starts Monday. Booooo.
I hope you guys have fun. See...
I was hoping to cook some brisket or pulled pork and drive it down on Friday. Not going to happen now. I'll think of something to bring.
Fire restrictions are in full effect for the Payson area. We can't even use charcoal. Therefore, I will be unable to bring any bbq. If there is something else you guys would like, let me know.
...
There is no difference in the hammock body, which is a real disappointment.
I put it on the calander. Should be real fun.
I'm in for sure. Coming solo. The family will be in CA. What do you need me to bring food-wise? I can do some pretty mean brisket or pulled pork.
I'm still planning on coming, but with two youngsters I'm always a game day decision.
I'm with Shug,
I may put a UQ protector on, but I no longer use a top cover, even though I have one. The best part of winter hanging is being able to enjoy the open feeling of lying in a hammock...
