That is a sweet hammock, I'm a little jealous that you have some new gear on the way. Enjoy.

That is a sweet hammock, I'm a little jealous that you have some new gear on the way. Enjoy.
I might just order it to try it out, but not as a Serape or Poncho. I'm not that stylish.
Shug on YouTube is a great place to start, as much for his expertise as for the entertainment value. I also enjoyed the Ultimate Hang 2 book by Derek Hansen.
It can be so overwhelming at first...
I have the RainflyEVOLUTION 12x10 from Amazon and it has great coverage and worked very well for me while car camping. I have since upgraded, but have used it for friends when they tag along.
...
I have the older revolt, and definitely like my HG Underquilts much more in terms of how it fits my chameleon and just overall seems to be less finicky than the EE, but I'd be interested if anybody...
I use a form of the Self Tensioning Guylines with my DCF tarp. It gives me play if I want it, or I can basically pull out all the slack if I'm expecting wind.
I haven't heard of any risk with...
I have the same problem. I have to cover my eyes in some fashion or I'm awake when the sun comes up. Historically I just pull my down beanie over my eyes. I've also tried my buff, but it is too...
There are tarps that double as ponchos, but I've never heard of a hammock.
I've all but given up on using hammock timeouts with my underquilts. Not sure I need them, but following to hear what others do.
In love the superior shelter in sky blue. I'll need to keep an eye out for when its back in stock.
Happy this was revived, I hadn't seen it. Thanks for this.
Look what just showed up in the mail. Thanks for the kind note you included Shug. I am anticipating some lollygagging this afternoon as I decide on an appropriate frame.

I always pack my clothes in a Zpacks Medium-Plus Pillow dry bag. It serves as a great dry bag for my clothes on the trail and can serve a dual purpose. When I was a ground dweller, it was my go-to...
Dream Hammocks are well loved here. I haven't tried the Darian yet as I really like zippers on both sides if I need to mess with my UQ in the middle of the night, so I've considered investing in a...
Perfect timing for a Christmas gift if that happens. I love the dark olive, but my wife not so much, so just an excuse to get more gear.
My first hang in a Chameleon early this summer. After I raved about my sleep, my family fought over who got to sleep in the hammock and who got tents. Fast forward and we now have 4 Chameleons and...
My wife utilizes a JRB Mount Washington 3 and loves it. Not sure if there are plans in the future to restock colors besides the 'Dark Olive', but if so, we may be picking up another.
Same here. I try to do rolls more than folds as I've heard the Mylar can break down quicker with tight folds. Not sure if that is true, but I paid enough that I like to baby it a bit.
That is awesome, definitely my style. My wife had me create her a custom tarp that is a little less subtle...

Maybe a 'locking rope hoist' or 'hoist with brake'. That particular design looks like it is used for both bikes and kayaks, but there may be other designs that do the same thing. Home Depot appears...
One other item of note, during some very high winds with my current setup, the titanium split ring connected from my tarp to my ridgeline severely malformed (did not fail) and the ground tie-outs...
I have had that concern as well with shock cord, but with it doubled up it has held up fine in some strong winds. I had frustration finding the breaking point of the shock cord I'm using, so I guess...
I like to take about a foot of shock cord and make a loop using a double fisherman's knot. I then larks head it onto the Lineloc V and also larks head it onto the d-rings or triangles. This has...
That's a big no from me, but fun to watch.
Hey from Denver. Your story sounds a lot like mine, I like the name terrestrial for the ground dwellers, going to have to steal that.
For me, I invested so much money in pads to try and get a good nights sleep (+6 hours) on the ground while also being Ultralight. I was also convinced that I needed my own private space that a tent...
I am so excited to hang with everyone in 2021, I just booked our flights. I've outfitted my entire family with hammock setups this summer and plan on bringing my 2 kids all the way from Denver, CO.
Welcome, love the pictures. Norway is high on my list to visit and hang.
I decided to go in a different direction, closing thread.
I've been browsing the forums a lot, but haven't posted prior to this. I have been backpacking quite a bit over the last 2 decades but finally started investing in UL gear last year with aspirations...
Looking to buy a Dutchware Chameleon Hammock in Hexon 1.6 with Asym Bugnet.
