Nice work. What’s the measurement between the mounting points for the gathered ends? I’ve got a 12’ Warbird wondering if it would fit.

Addam special thank you for all your effort. We all appreciate your effort to make the hang memorial. I helped make sure we left the camp ground clean so the Rangers would welcome us back. This just...

That's fine do you know if its carbon or stainless steel? Moran usually. Mora's are crazy sharp from the factory so let's get it back that way.

Yea a butcher knife will do. I bet the steel is really high quality. Now maybe somebody has a scandi grind knife like a Mora or bushcraft knife because that grind is so popular.

I'd like to see a couple knives be volunteered for the knife sharpening demo. Any volunteers? In a perfect world I'd like 2 different grinds. Or maybe a knife and an axe. I just want to demonstrate...

No problem. Its easy once you learn a couple fundamentals.

I'm in. Planning Thur-Sun and do some hiking. Hope this year is a little dryer than last. If folks are interested I can do another fire starting class and as always I enjoy knife and axe sharpening...

Never had a problem sleeping in a hammock or anywhere else for that matter. I even learned to sleep in the Marines when standing in formation (just make sure the guys on either side know)! Hammock is...

Thanks again Addam. It was fun doing the fire demonstration. Most hadn't done char cloth before. Special thanks to Michael for bringing flint and steel plus the fire piston. Guess the only thing left...

Getting ready to leave TX. Just checked weather and shows its raining in SoCal. Shouldn't be too bad but gonna be wet.

Is the hike still on? Should be up there by 5:00 on Friday.

SUVs all have roof racks that can act as a suspension anchor like a roll bar in the jeep. When you don't want an sub At a rental company they are free but when you want one they cost an arm and a...

I hear Saturday forecast is steady showers 1/2" rain expected but forecasts are changing quickly. If I get the SUV I'll bring extra tarps and a 10x12 pop up canopy. Hard to tell as my daughter recked...

Less than a week away. I'm planning on attending Friday afternoon thru Sunday. If anybody needs a ride from the Orange County area let me know. I'm in Laguna Hills and will be driving an SUV with...

I'll let you know if I can pull off the 21st. Unlikely as I'll have to burn 2 days vacation time and I hope to do an elk hunt later this year in Colorado. Those vacation days will come in handy.
...

Kurt I might be able to do this. In a perfect world I'd rather do it on Friday vs Thursday. I have to be in PHX that week then in Tucson 4/26. Right now I'm thinking of staying the weekend and doing...

Just read your post. Yep I'm sure I can help you with getting an edge on your knives. I'll make sure to bring some gear to take care of you.

If anyone else wants to sharpen their knives or axes...

For those who want to try feather sticking they should bring some kind of knife. Folder or fixed blade will do. Fixed blades are usually more comfortable. This way we don't have to share one knife....

Locked,loaded & paid :laugh:
I'll be there looking forward to it. Plan to arrive Friday afternoon. Looks like we have pretty similar hanging gear. If I can lend a hand in "Bushcraft Skills" I'd be...

Okay now that's funny. Navy week really? I want a couple of those patches.

Look into a 3/4 Greylock by Jacks R Better. Mine a Greylock 4 and I love it. Full length UQ take more room in your pack and aren't really needed unless you get into really cold temps. You can always...

I plan to hammock during this years elk season. I'll move away from base camp higher in elevation and hopefully closer to the action. Nothing beats a comfortable hang after a hard day in the field.

Thanks Just new to the group. Used hammocks long time ago now wondering why I ever hot away from it. Former Marine guess we always used the ground. I bought a WBBB and never looked back, awesome...

I'm in. Traveling back from a biz trip now but will PayPal funds tonight. I should be able to make Fri & Sat night. Pretty new to this forum but sounds like fun. RMagnus -Ralph

I subbed your YT channel. Really liked the hikes you shared. I recently got an ULA Ohm 2.0 and really like it. Tucson has always been a special place to me. I recently got back into hammocking and...

PayPal sent. Thanks

I'll take it. PM me with your email and I'll send a Paypal.

Great thread. Far be of it of me to provide additional suggestions because you all have more expierence. No substitution for a correct set up. I have expierenced what Shug mentioned overtightening...

The issue is sleeping bags are placed directly on insulation thereby helping to give a more accurate insulation reading. With hammocks there is more ventilation robbing warmth. There are several...

#6 Cabelas down jacket XL. I'll take it.2nd in line didn't see the post above.

Yep good points, thanks. At this point because of the extra size I plan to order the Greylock. Just a bit more versitile. I'm not an ultra light camper or hiker and I'm more inclined to make sure my...

AScott great minds think alike :D I think you nailed it for me. Thanks for your input.

Thanks guys all great advise. Gotta say I didn't even notice the cinch cord not on the Yeti. Not a huge issue but hve to think one will get s more cutomized fit with it. Leaning towards the Greylock...

Guys I've decided to go for an underquilt just seems the better way to go. I think I've narrowed it to the above two chouces. Hammock is the Warbonnet XLC. The Greylock is a tad longer and wider....

Nice set up tarp looks great but the area you're in is SWEET.

Thanks. I thought a tripod would be the way to go. A little surprised 5' was tall enough. I need to look into this option as I only have one spot in my back yard to hang and test gear. A stand would...

Yeah, I actually just slapped mine together last night and it worked out great! I used some cheap T fittings from tarps.com and the stand is a bipod on each end, and collapses down easily to lean up...

............

I got a good laugh from that. Having someone measure it while your in it is the best bet. I was wondering if you built something yet as I'm starting to have the same interest.

Those of you patching holes may want to reshape the holes in the shape of a circle for a stronger repair and no straight edges to catch on anything.

Nice video your beagle will make a nice hiking partner in time.

Warbonnet Blackbird XLC has a strong following. 11 footer seems to be the way to go.

kwpapke awesome sugestions. High likelyhood I will be traveling AZ once again. Really love the state. If it comes about I sure want to do some of these hikes/hangs. Thanks for posting Kurt.

I'm considering buying a XLC with the Superfly tarp. My question is can you set up the Superfly so it stakes out on the ground. Most pictures I've seen are where the sides are about 2 feet above...
