Shug had done a trip on the Little Indian Sioux River and has a video. I did that same loop recently and it was very relaxing with great trees to hang from.
Here is Syntax77's video on another way to hang two side by side, I have this system and it doesn't solve all the problems, for instance if someone gets out without notice, etc. But is fun! ...
My wife loves hers. She is a side sleeper and enjoys that option. I sneak in when she is not around :-)
Here is my Chameleon setup at N. Cross River campsite on the Superior Hiking Trail. 183536
I started with a Zpacks bear bag on the AT but recently I have switched to an Ursack as my pitching arm isn't what it used to be. Also got a barrel vault for BWCA travels.
I should have mentioned our trip wouldn't be happening until after ice out, sorry about that. That is scary, I once had a paddler ask if they were at a certain point on a lake, when I told them they...
Signed up to canoe and hike hybrid on Snowbank/Parent/Disappointment area. Hoping to find a campsite to hang and be close to a trail. Anyone recommend a site on a lake? Forgot to mention, after...
Just ordered my new 12' Dyneema with the doors. Can't wait to try it out on the Superior Hiking Trail! Over the Ridge Runner or maybe the Chameleon. Maybe take it on the AT this summer. So many...
Thanks Saltfly, I will check it out!
Just received the new Ridgerunner and WOW is it everything we expected. It is for my wife as I am 6'4" and 275lbs but this hammock is so nice I am thinking of losing 25lbs and getting myself one! ...
Great hike and camping spots going up Black Elk Peak, formerly Harney Peak. Plan the water and camping spots, great views from the top.
I did the same trip a couple of years earlier and ran into that same marsh. The marsh sucked one of my shoes off and I had to lay down in the mud and reach down and pull it out. The trail was gone...
Thanks Adroa and Shug for your quick responses. I watched a couple of Shug's videos of the area, very helpful.
We are planning a Superior Hiking Trail trek through Crosby Manitou SP this spring. Any of the campsites lend themselves well to hammock camping? The trail goes by sites 3 and 4 but are there any...
Planning a spring hike with wife on Superior Hiking Trail using my double hammock setup, with the double hooks from Dutchware. We are headed for Crosby Manitou State Park and beyond. I am wondering...
Hummingbird now offers the Long Hammock at 128" by 63" at 8.2oz in the parachute fabric. I do use the single plus for daytime napping and just hanging out on day hikes.
I agree, my wife thinks of the hammock in porch mode as a sleeping pill, once she gets in that is all she wrote. The cool fall weather helps that too. We might try to go around the 12th next year...
Thanks Shug, I watched your video before we left. We ate at Stoney Ridge Café in Ely(incredible burger) and also Gordy's HiHat (more incredible burgers and a Blackberry Shake)on the way back through...
No bugs at all really. We use the Thermacell and our clothes are sprayed with permethrin.
Also, here is a video of the Devil's Cascade on the way to Loon Lake.

Just finished our Boundary Waters Canoe trip and we had an amazing time! We took our Hummingbird double hammock, HG Dyneema Tarp, and HG Pheonix Underquilts, I also brought the EE top Quilt. It...
Thanks everyone for covering this. Just ordered my Double Whoopie Sling set up from Carolyn, super great service. Can't wait to set it up. Hoping to take this setup with us on the AT this summer.
My underquilt arrived and it was so amazing I ordered another for my wife! Great attention to detail and craftspersonship. Thanks HG!
Thanks for posting this info, I like to get several maps of the same area and compare differences. Heading to the BWCA this fall so will come in handy.
No more scooting around with the inflatable pad the Hammock Gear Pheonix is ordered! Just in time as it looks like it will get to -29 below! Thanks Shug for steering me that way!
Thanks for tips, I will check with Ranger and maybe adjust route.
Is it hard to find trees to stretch a hammock and tarp in the burn and blowdown area? Planning a trip in September in the Lake Four and Insula area. Thanks
Great question, I too am planning a BWCA trip so I am eagerly following the responses. I have mostly lightweight backpacking gear and I notice the outfitters tend to have heavier stuff so I plan on...
Thanks, very helpful. We were thinking of being at the huts for privy and water.
Planning an AT section hike with hammocks for early June 2019. Any issues hammocking through the park with the rules? Thanks for any help on this.
How did the rules in the National Parks impact your hammocking? I am curious as I am doing a section hike of the SNP in 2019.
Here are a few photos from my recent SHT Temperance River area hike.

That is good news, this will be our first 35 degree sleepover but have our EE 20 degree quilts so should be okay. Thanks again!
Thanks all! We leave tomorrow to hike from Temperance River area to Caribou Falls area. You will see our campsite with my Dutch Chameleon and my wife's Hummingbird hammock. Stop by for some...
Wife and I hiked the Lover's Leap and Sunday Gulch trails in Custer State Park. Used my Hummingbird Single + for weight. A tremendous hail storm came up and filled the hammock with ice! It still...
Thanks, I will check these out. Would love to do the whole trail! If I promise a stop for Mall of America and a Twins game my wife may let me expand the trip a bit. She actually can fly up hill...
Thanks and also for tips on Packit Gourmet and Hawk Vittles. I got my wife the North African Stew for her birthday. Looks so good we might eat it here at home! I also got her the Ohm with her...
Might do both! Thanks for tips! -Tim 'Pappy' Case
Thanks all, excellent suggestions. We are used to green tunnel from AT so no issues there. Watching Shug videos now to fine tune spot but thinking Castle Danger to Finland, stopping by Betty's of...
Thanks, watching these now. Looks great! Super place to cook up some Ramen Rescue and Medaglia brew!
Looking to take my wife on her first backpacking Hammock amble for three nights on the Superior Hiking Trail. What would you recommend as the sweetest three day amble for two experienced AT hikers?...
Received my new Chameleon! It was everything I hoped for. Great attention to detail and expert craftsmanship. Took only a week from time of order to arrival. Ordered the wide and glad I did as I...
Thanks to all for excellent advice. I ended up ordering the Dutchware Chameleon in wide, 1.6 Hexon in Burnt Orange. My wife wants the Dream Raven and my son wants the WB Blackbird XLC. Grandkids...
I read from my luxury item, a small book, until I can't keep my eyes open any longer. Usually Aleve PM when sore too.
That is where I am leaning too. Wish I could use a 7oz Hammock but I am sure there would be a midnight rip if I did.
Thanks for sharing that I will look at the double WB XLC more closely.
I am 6'4" and 275lbs. and backpack with my wife, mostly on the AT. I have watched nearly all of Shug's videos and many others and read many articles but still have a question I was hoping someone...
My wife and I have done Maryland, Mass, Connecticut and this summer hopefully Vermont.
Thanks all for the welcome. I will start digging in. Great to see what everyone uses. Happy New Year!
New to hammock camping. Learned a lot from watching Shug videos. I backpack with my wife and so this will be our first time with Hammocks on the AT this summer doing a section hike. I am 6'5" and...
