Hey all, I was really looking forward to this, but I’m sorry to say that these dates just aren’t going to work out for me now. I mentioned earlier in the thread that my wife is running the NYC...

Hey Spiguyver,

Assuming your the same guy, I’ve run into your videos on YouTube while researching backpacking routes and such. You do a great job with your vids. Welcome to NJ and hope to see...

ZPacks Dyneema 8.5’x10’ flat tarp in olive drab. Weighs under 7oz with stuff sack. Used less than 5 nights, perfect, like new condition. No defects. Paid $350 new directly from ZPacks, asking $250...

I’ve wanted to go to this for years and with Emily Ford speaking this might have been the year if I weren’t out of the country at that time. Maybe next year.

I’ve used these before and they hold great. However, I’m more of a Linelock3 guy now. My only reason for the preference is the linelocs are always in the same spot whereas these could be in...

Now if those were UL carbon fiber, maybe lol.

Great video. I’ve only stayed at the Carter Notch hut once in the winter. It was a great experience but I wish they were dog friendly. Or at least one or two of them. Best of luck on the 48.

Yep, it’s tucked away on the north end of Lake Askoti. Doesn’t look too far off trail on the map, but it’s difficult enough bushwacking and Boulder hopping where nobody will run into you.

As my...

Beautiful. I hope to make it back to the UP one day. Great job on the video.

Great writeup. I hope to experience that area one day.

Great writeup and what an adventure. I’ve only been to that area once when I backpacked Pictured Rocks from Munising to Grand Marais. Just about every time I looked at Lake Superior I thought about...

Happy to share, DM me if you want the details on finding it.

I was scheduled for a 3 day canoe camping trip in the ADK’s this weekend but after an MRI learned that I have a torn labrum in my rotator cuff. I still wanted to do something, and didn’t want to...

I’m about 30 minutes from Harriman SP and have spent countless nights there and have my own list of stealth spots from over the years. Wish there was a Harriman meetup page/thread on here. I seem...

Sounds like you made the best out of the situation. Sucks to lose gear like that. How was the trail itself?

And yes, original Blackbird. I’m in the vertically challenged category. Maybe I can convince Brandon to make something to help us short guys get out suspension higher up. I’ve been cutting a stick...

Holy smokes you guys are the most helpful bunch ever. Big thanks to all.

Thanks, I’ll look for the video. Is Brandon the gentleman that does the official Warbonnet channel YouTube videos? If not what is the name of Brandon’s channel.

And I’m sure the design is spot...

Payment was sent this morning to the corrected PayPal address supplied. Please let me know if you received it.

Thanks,
John

Very useful info. I have sap on one of my tents and I’m thinking this info will apply as well.

Congrats! I just spent a few days on the NPT from Long Lake and am now thinking of thru hiking it next year. I look forward to watching your video.

When sleeping in winter I wear a dedicated base layer top and bottom and dedicated sleep socks. I have 2 pairs of sleeping base layers depending on weather. Patagonia Capilene for most weather and...

Thanks guys,

Like cougarmeat said, I didn’t feel any cold spots and that’s what matters most. I played around with my hang last night and came to the conclusion that it looks worse when I’m not...

Using my 0F wookie UQ for the first time out in the field this weekend after a quick test setup in the back yard and added my own adjustable shock cord loop on one end. Last night it got down to 32F...

Not sure if my DM’s are going through with the bad service I have right now. I think there may be a typo in the PayPal address you gave me. Let me know if you got my DMs.

Thanks,
John

I’ll take it. Please DM me your PayPal address where I can send payment. I am on the trail for another day with little to no service so it may take a few hours for me to get your DM and payment sent...

Hi, could you clarify the option that this was for a bridge hammock, since I use a gathered end. I’m guessing it’s just the placements of the panel pullouts? If that’s correct, what exactly is...

I have site #7 booked for Thu Nov. 3rd now as well. If anyone feels like showing up a day early, feel free to join me.

Sounds good. I might even book a site for Thu for a solo night so I can still get 2 nights in.

Hi guys, another noob here with another noob question.

I now have both a full 20F UQ/TQ pairing and a 0F UQ/TQ pairing - I bought an EE 20F UQ to pair with my EE 20F quilt that I already had for...

I realized that my wife is running the NYC marathon that Sunday, the 6th. So I’ll be there Friday, and can stay until late afternoon/early evening Saturday, but can’t spend Saturday night as we have...

Thanks!

That makes sense. I suppose if I get the 0F UQ, I could always layer my 20F UQ on top of my 20F top quilt as well.

I see plenty of reviews on the smokehouse hot tents but can’t find any info on purchasing them. Are they still in production? Looking into the Warbonnet version. Thanks.

Thanks. I think a 0 degree Wookie UQ would be my next upgrade.

100% agree. I have 20F top and bottoms, but trying to figure out the best strategy for expanding my range.

Thanks for sharing that link. I already ordered the UQ from EE as a custom order, so I am just going to have to see what my own experience and go from there. I can always return it if I see issues...

I’m also wondering if it makes more sense to get to 0F and add a 40F later, or to just go straight to the 40F and just stack the 40 and 20 together in colder temps. Any thoughts on that? Also, when...

I’ll be there too so I’ll definitely pick his brain. My EE backpacking quilt has been one of my most reliable pieces of gear for several years averaging around 30 bag nights per year, albeit on the...

Thanks guys. Sounds like bottom is the bigger priority. As much as I like to stick with a company I’m familiar with like EE, I think I will look at the Wookie since I heard they are built for the...

Wasn’t sure whether to put this in the top quilt or under quilt forum.

I’m a noob to hammocking. I have an Enlightened Equipment Enigma 20F quilt that I’ve been using on the ground for years. I...

Thanks. I agree, I’m not going to mess with it unless there was some tried and true testimonials on here of it being done successfully. Now half the tarp draped over the back and a long fire,...

Can this be done effectively? I picked up a 20D silpoly Warbonnet Superfly and was wondering if there is a way to use my Pomoly T3 Mini Ti hot tent stove in it when the temps plummet. I’m not...

Thanks,

My mom lives down in South Jersey so I have to make the trek down there often. If you know of any good areas to hammock camp down there, I’d love to know.

Hi,

She’s a rescue but if you believe those dna tests she’s a 50% Great Pyrenees, 25% German Shepherd, and 25% Chow. I just ordered her a Cave Creek Pet Palace. I think that’ll make for a more...

Does anybody know what the verdict was on this? I don’t see any verbiage against hammocking on the DEC Campground rules on the NY State Webpage. I have reservations in a few weeks at Forked Lake...

Beautiful spot. Haven’t been up to the Whites since doing the Pemi loop a few years ago and desperately need to get back there. I really feel for you, loud groups of college aged kids are the worst....

Interesting thanks. I never made a science experiment out of it, but I never noticed any extra retained weight whereas with my silpoly tarps feel like a brick when packing it up after a night of...

I canoed across the reservoir to a paddle in site last year, and it’s a NEVER AGAIN spot for me as well. I had a group of about 10 obnoxious college aged students who were loud, drinking, and the...

Thanks, just signed up for the hang in Wharton SF.
