I have a HG dyneema 12 ft. standard w/doors that I will be posting to sell on here. Used it 7 nights. Basically brand spankin new. Interested?
These pictures of the same color look very different. Is this more a light green or dirty brown. The most recent post with moss green inner and camo outer is SWEET looking but the first picts in the...
I went out and bought a sewing machine soon as I decided to start DIY'ing gear. I watched this video, went slow, checked twice and it game out pretty good! I used 2.5 apex climashield, gutterman 70 i...
Has anyone had experience using that down Costco throw or any cheap down filled throw from Amazon? What temps have you taken them down too? Any DIY modification instructions for converting them to a...
With my 20 degree underquilt I just don't cinch up the draft collars as much as my first step to vent. If I need it to vent more Ill let it hang a bit loose off the hammock and anymore after its...
Welcome! Enjoy the hanging life! You'll never go back to a tent haha.
Both are great!

I use a 50 climashield diy quilt In the summer. I prefer that due to the humidity, sweat, heat and rain storms we get in NC during the summers.

A bag over my feet? Wouldn’t my feet sweat and get cold due to the moisture?

Whoops hit share too early...
Length x Width x Loft / Fill Power x 1.1 =
Example
75x55x2=8,250/ 800 = 10.31 oz x 1.1 = 11.31 oz

Baffles loft heights are .5 inch per 10’degrees it looks like based on gear company charts....1.5=40. 2=30. 2.5=20 so on. I used this formula to measure the amount down I’ll need in my quilts...

Ever find it freezing on your face when covering your mouth due to the moisture? I’ve never been a fan of a mouth covering but always desired something for my nose in cold weather so this hood does...

I’m in Apex... new to the forums too Anyone want to head out let me know!

My thought would be the down would compress more if under a synthetic quilt rather than stay lofted if on top...

Go with standard. Under quite can be made wide, 48 instead of 44 inches I believe.

If I have a 50 degree synthetic and a 30
Degree down, which one would you put on the outside? Why?

Same. Fits great on my HG incubator 20.

I had mine in less than a week. Super quick. Enjoy! Dutch's gear is awesome.
What’s everyone’s thoughts on the type of balaclava for sleeping in. Do you prefer the typical serius fleece, merino wool, an apex climashield such as the one from EE, or a down fill balaclava? I...
Definitely 1 piece snake skin. I used a two piece and it was a pain having to deal with wrapping up a tarp twice essentially. The skins kept slipping away from the middle when I rolled them up. I...
Yep! Great area. If your ever want to get out for a weekend trip let me know. I'm also trying to get to Uwharrie for the weekend.
Shug! You gonna be doing any crazy cold hammock camping and pulk pulling this week? I can't get over the -40 degree temps you brave. I'd love the experience myself but NC isn't quite on that level.
Hey Todd, welcome to the hanging life. You won't go back to tents, trust me. I came from UL tenting too and never could get a comfortable sleep regardless of the pads, etc. I'd never slept in a...
Is there a specific height of an individual were a 3/4 just isn't sufficient enough even with the foot pad?
Well I think I'm going with the Phoenix. At 5'9 and the use of a footpad, do you think that's sufficient length or would you advise to go with 56 inches?
I'm a fan of the 0, 30, 50... so i'd get the 30 especially if your a cold sleeper. For the 50, I'd get a cheap throw or DIY something from climashield apex. I made a 75/55 apex climashield 2.5 top...
I use the winter top cover on my Chameleon between 10-40 degrees and never had any condensation. Not yet at least. It definitely adds a few degrees of warmth too

Did you get directional baffles? What are the specs of your quilt? I'm debating between a 52 inch hg phoenix and 52 inch habanero.
Loose fitting is definitely key. My first night in cold temps I layered 3 medium thickness pairs of socks and all that did was make em colder. Now I have one pair of loose thick wool expedition...
No way. I hated pads. Never felt comfortable or balanced on an inflatable and all the close fell foam pads were a pain in the butt to lay on. I felt like I got wet laying on the CF pad. Immediately...
Got the 1.5 spider straps and set up my hammock a dozen times today practicing that becket Hitch. SOLD! Love the simplicity, easy to set up, strong hold, ultra light. I’m gonna stick with this knot...
PREACH! Well, and when it’s raining and I’m trying to set up new gear I’ve only used a few times. This summer can’t come soon enough!

Don't forget to enjoy the surroundings during those big mile days! Its always fun to take an easy day and "hang around" ;). Welcome!
Awesome! Ill keep my eye out for all of those! Any idea when the next "event" might be?? Nice to find a local hammocker to get out with. I haven't done anything at Umstead but I do get out to...
Hammocking definitely takes a few nights to acclimate too. I actually suffered from slight motion sickness my first few nights. I move around when I sleep and although I wasn't swaying a lot...
How long do the kevlar straps last. I don't have any experience with them but I've read they degraded from the elements. Are we talking 10 days of use in the sun or 200? Do they break down if store...
Thanks everyone!
Welcome Forbin! You'll be getting a lot more of that dutch bling, trust me. HAHA. Happy hanging!
I DIY'd a 50 degree 2.5 apex climashield top quilt with zipper and drawstring footbox (72x54) and itll fit into an 8 liter stuff sack. Usually just put it in the bottom of my back in a trash...
I understand there are different fabrics used in each however I can't imagine that the fabric in the LL quilt makes the price double. Typically its the quality and quantity of down fill that...
After looking into 40 degree 3/4 length under quilts I'm noticing quite a difference in the amount of down LL has compared to HG.
HG Phoenix Econ
Loft 1.5
Duck Down 800

Agreed!
Well shoot, I was thinking of getting a draft collar when I ordered a LL quilt but now I'm second guessing myself... Love to hear more opinions. Great thread.
You'll enjoy hanging! Sweden must be amazing to backpack through. Welcome to the forum!
I went straight for the Dutchware Chameleon and have loved it ever since. Sure there are other lighter hammock but the fact that I can go nestless, attached a net, or use a solid top cover for winter...
