I'm assuming 9 ft asymmetrical.
Head right or head left?
I have 3 XLC's . A heavy double layer (my first), a light double layer, and a single layer in 1.6 Dreamtex.
They all sleep a little differently. Sort of like Firm, Medium, and Soft mattresses.
I...
The loss of a very fine lady.
Condolences to Randy and Family.
Excellent advice in a nutshell., Cougarmeat.
I've found all of that to be true.
Simply Light Designs has the Trail Winder. I have a few of those in different temp ratings.
They are synthetic insulation that you can order with a dedicated lay or symmetrical.
It has a simple,...
I finally pulled the trigger on Jared's new modular Trail Winder at 1AM last night.
I received the shipping notice from him at 8:30AM.
Amazing and appreciated!
I think this should work for going into porch mode, too,
if placed on the corner pullouts.

It's a simple setup using spare bling.
So, is it the hammock zipper or just the top cover zipper, or both?
It can surely be repaired, but it might be an opportunity to explore
the idea of different fabric weights or colors.
Never let...
I was just rigging up my new Thunderfly and I went to put the bungees on the side
pullouts for my exterior pole mod. Instead of pulling out a plain ready-made loop, I pulled
out one looped...

I'm not sure how well this would on a slope or uneven terrain.
The Tensa4, with only 2 ground contact points, you can use almost anywhere.
I've had some good results from folding the hammock in half and sitting on the double layer. It gets me
closer to the off-side for some back support and eases the ridge across the back of my thighs.
This is my first tarp with the internal poles. I can see an advantage to them, but I think I'll find myself using the externals more often( over the top), and use the same poles to go into porch mode...
It will do that for you.
I have the wide winter and the first time I tested it, we got 4-6" of rain over 8 hours with tornadoes in the area. I stayed perfectly dry with room to move about. If you...
I have both and I'm still trying one and then the other to decide which is going on my 2 week kayaking trip this fall. I love them both. I'm not concerned about pack size or weight. The SF is...

Thank you!
I'll take it.
PM coming.
All right!!!
Thank you, Shug!
I found it. Trouble with an update.
*Sigh of relief*
Thanks for checking! I'll keep working at it.
Is the Warbonnet website down or is it just me?
I haven't been able to connect for a couple of days?
I have the Simply Light Designs UQP and I'm very happy with it.
It comes in Ion or Argon 90 of different colors.
Simple attachment and a suspension adjustment on each side
to lift it up if...
Part of my hammock quest was to search for the perfect fabric / configuration. At least, that's what I tell myself.
I have the Dl heavyweight and the SL 40D Dreamtex. I'm 5'10" and 200#. I started...
I have the 40* and it's 18" from the start of the V to the seam of the footbox.
I hope that helps.
PayPal sent. Thank you!
I'll take the bundle for $480. PM coming.
The max comfort range on the Heavy DL is 400 lbs. On the Light DL it's 275 lbs. I started with a HDL and loved it. It was firm and heavy duty.
Then, I started experimenting with different fabrics...
I started out with a XLC HDL and it took me 6 weeks before I could last the night in it. Constant tweeking. What finally nailed for me was setting up with the whipping knot at my foot end right at my...
I took me 4-6 weeks to get a good nights sleep in my WBBB XLC.
What drove me to a hammock was the rising Great Lakes water levels were flooding out my good camping spots. I was left with roots,...
Maybe to keep the cost down. It's a simple,efficient quilt.
I think I've heard that Jared used to make these before, but pulled them off his inventory. It might be from a previous design. I bet if...
Well, I got my 40* Eclipse about a week ago. I've been using it nightly for house-sleeping. Jared did his usual great job.
I really like this top quilt. It's pretty straightforward without a lot...
I ordered mine Monday night.
On its way on Tues.
Jared is great!
In case you haven't noticed, Jared is now offering a topquilt. It's called The Eclipse, and here's a link: https://simplylightdesigns.com/collections/what-s-new/products/eclipse-top-quilt
Ahhh, Jared IS making topquilts. The Eclipse. I just ordered a 40*. https://simplylightdesigns.com/collections/wind-blockers-bug-nets/products/eclipse-top-quilt
As a Locksmith, I would say do not use the door knob. I will pull it right off the spindle.
If you have to use a door, slip the strap through a partly open door on the hinge side and secure with...
Jared is fantastic! I have always received excellent service and product from him. I wish he made top quilts.

There is some discussion on the tarp extenders in the "Tensa Outdoor and the Commercial...
I spent 2 weeks trying to find the sweet spot on my XLC. And when I did, it was unmistakable.
I found that I needed to put my shoulder right next to the zipper and make sure my feet were deep into...
The Wookie was designed specifically for the BBXLC so you really can't go wrong with it. Its particular magic is the asymetrical lay with insulation only where you need it. That cuts down on weight...

Well, I don't know exactly what happened, but I'm gonna have to change my opinion on this little review. With most of the bottle of Martin's mentioned above, I had to try it again to see if I got the...
Adding a ridgeline to my Eno made a big difference in comfort with a flatter, more consistent lay.
When I first tried to hook up the extenders, they were kind of loose and floppy, and it just didn't seem right. When I hooked the tarp to them, it tightened them up snug to the frame and kept them...

This is how I set mine up.
I'm new at pictures, I hope this works!
Yep, 12 foot from tip to tip, the length of my tarp ridgeline suspension. At the foot end, the tip of the extender is about 6 1/2 foot above the ground. The head end about 6 foot. That's as it's set...
From what I can see, the extender in photo #2 isn't hooked up quite right.
In photo #3, it looks like it's ok, and you still have some room to tighten up the two black lines at the bottom of the...
Hi grimm0614,
I bought the exact same thing from Amazon. Mixed it up as directed and used a sprayer to apply. I let it dry outside for two days before I brought it in. The smell was pretty bad and...
