That's a load off my mind. Thank you.
Don't want to be a worry wort but I just pulled this off the NF for Doe Lake. Closure Notice: Doe Lake Group Site is closed from January 08, 2018 through Jan 16, 2018
Closure Notice: Doe Lake Group...
Thank you.
Please send a detailed map.
Sorry, I'm still having a problem pin pointing it. I find Doe Lake Recreation and it still sends me to Umatilla. The address you sent me isn't even close to Doe Lake. Maybe I'm having trouble with...
So Doe Lake is in Umatilla Fl.?
I also want some warm weather. I'll be flying into Tampa to stay with a friend and we are driving to the event.
I always wonted to try a guilt but never have. I saw a huge guy in a motorcycle dealership once in a guilt once. He must have been a professional weight lifter because he was all muscle and I don't...
Hennasee Hex was my first tarp. It is almost indestructible. Covers everything. I've had it for a long time. Probably not great for hiking because of the weight though. I still love it.
This is what I just bought.https://shellhammocks.com/collections/hammocks/products/arch-hammock
Does anyone besides me use prusik knots on the hammock ridge line to attach their under quilt. I saw someone on Youtube use this technic and tried it out. He said instead of tightening the under...
Brought my hammock stand in yesterday.
TrailSlug. The prediction was wrong for last night. It was 26 this morning at 3:30 AM.
I'm also 5'6" and am trying my first 11 ft. hammock tonight. All my others have been 9 ft.
I've always wondered why uq's didn't have a wind resistant outer cover. I have a wind breaker jacket that is great and the material is very light. With down underquilts, wind will steel the warmth...
Just got an new hammock from Sheltowee here in Ky. They are located up around Cumberland Falls. It'll be my first 11ft. hammock experience. All my others have been 9 ft. I'm usually a side sleeper....
I took my ENO bug net off this winter for the first time. I just didn't want to mess with it. It'll be a good test to see if there is that much of a difference in heat retention.
Does back yard camping count?
Good strategy when rain is in the forecast. I've only gotten to do one 20 mi. hike so far. I'm 63, soon to be 64. I have gotten my pack down to 10 lbs. now. Hope to hit the trail in the spring.

All ready. I had to jack up the stand so I can look at the stars instead of my house. Do I need to ad another block? Here in Ky. we known for putting things on blocks.:D
Not according to the forecast on my phone. 29 at 3:00 to 6:00 AM
Hanging out back tonight. Temps are suppose to get down to around 29F.
I've found that if you pull your cl's with your index finger and use your other hand to tie the becket hitch it wont need to slip to tightness very much. I like using a slippery truckers hitch on one...
The only time I tent camp now is when my lady goes with me.
Biker Bob. I too am a duel sport hammock camper. I have a lot of places that is made available to me for wild camping and really can't wait for warmer weather. I'll just have to load of my Subaru and...
First lay in my new 11ft. hammock. I bought a hammock from Sheltowee hammocks from Ky. In state shipping is free. The cost was about $67.00 for the Arch model with Amsteel continuos ridge line and...
I have been stuffing my pack with uq connected for a long time and find it easier to set up. Everything seems to stuff better so I'm going to try an experiment to separate my uq from the hammock for...
When I started hanging, I built a hammock stand and put it in my house. It was a learning curve but eventually I enjoyed it better then my bed. I slept in it nonstop for over a month. I then moved it...
I signed the sheet after getting permission from the woman. This will be my first gathering. I have some x-in laws in Ocala and hope to see them. Looking forward to meet some more addicts to hammock...

A great solo hang. I get out occasionally by myself for a ride and a hang.
I will. I might have to put some 6 ft. 4x4's on my stand to accommodate the extra length. I just have 5 ft. on it now.
I'm still using my ENO bug net. It's served me well.
Thank you rweb82. I'm a bit of a cheap *******, so I just ordered an Arch hammock from Sheltowee. It could be a waste of money but not that much. It was cheaper then my Grand Trunk and it's longer....
There are so many great options from the cottage vendors! The best thing you can do is attend a local hang. This is the best way to try out various hammocks before purchasing. I own the Raven from...
Hi. Long time no visit. I've been hanging for over 2 years now and I'm ready for a good camping hammock. I thought I would seek out expert advise. I love hanging and have done a lot of it in the past...
I have been using a pillow for some time in my hammock in the house. At first, I liked it, but after a while I noticed with my head elevated, even a little bit, made my lower back hurt a little bit....

I built a stand and moved it into the house so I can sleep in it every chance I can. My girlfriend doesn't like it when she spends the night sometimes. I make a sacrifice and sleep with her once in...
I came home last night and was so tired. I got my thermorest out and put it in the hammock with the blanket and pillow off the bed. I fail right to sleep and slept all night. I was well rested for...
Just during the winter. I need to learn to feel more comfortable in a hammock. I know to lie diagonally but I seem to always drift toward the middle all the time. About 2 am last night I decided to...
20151115_131504.jpg (108.9 KB) Okay so now I've just had to copy and past but it turned out a little cockeyed.
I built a hammock stand yesterday and put in my house today. I tried to down load a pic. but I don't seem to have the knack to do so yet.
I wore a tyvek suit last Sat. night to sleep in and it did good with insulated underwear on. The temp. got down to around 38. I didn't have an underquilt just a reflective pad that wouldn't stay in...
I found it easier to thread the needle on the sewing machine from the back with the eye of the needle between your thumb and forefinger in the front if that helps. The thread is funneled into the eye...
Now to figure out how to get a noseeum net.
Just bought a Grand Trunk Double for 35% off.:)
Should a noob start out cheep or go for a good quality out fit?
Noob here and doing some research for my first hang. Your report sounds great. This is the first that I have heard of this particular hammock and am impressed that you would prefer it to the WBBB...
I've ridden through Lewisburg several times. I hope to do some hanging at Lake Malone this summer.
Thanks everyone. I wonder if there is a post discussing everyone reason for choosing the hammock that they have. I know that there must be a question box some where on topics.
