Hey Gents, you guys still have room for a n00b lady hanger that wants to show off her sweet UQ? I probably wont stay overnight but I'd like anyone to go over my kit and give me some pointers. Would...

Yup, you need a permit for weekends and holidays during the summer. I was out there during the Independence Day long weekend, but since I went on a Monday, I didn't need a permit. Call the USFS...
BAM! There it is! I knew I saw it somewhere but couldn't figure it out. Thank you so much.
What is the best way to attach my Dutch Stingerz to my WB Superfly? I'm almost positive I saw a video on it somewhere before, but I'm feeling overwhelmed with all the info out there. I'm not much...
I'm glad you asked this question! I have the same concerns as I'm shopping for my 1st quilt as well. I took slugbait's advice and just now measured my el cheapo Black Diamond down quilt. It measures...
Sweet! So far this is the closest hang to me, and I've parked there a few times before to hike the on Uwharrie & Dutchman's Creek Trails. Putting this on my calendar for sure.
Nope! I love my disposable income...
I have 1 dog, 3 tents, 1 hammock (for now), 1 tarp (for now), 2 UQs, 1 TQ (for now), 3 sleeping bags, 4 stoves, 4 packs, 3 water filters, and more...
Because it's permanently attached to my house...
This was just a list of the stuff I have laying around as well, not necessarily what I'm taking to the trail.
Yup, that's why I bought the Hookworms with shock cord. Saw a couple videos on self-tensioning tie outs and thought it was a good idea.
I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. Got the email that my Blackbird 1.1 DBL XLC is on it's way! I got tree straps, and purchased the winter topcover with it (why not?).
Right now I already have:...
Wow, no Hennessy or Warbonnet? I think it's funny how the 2-3 brands that a majority of people on this forum own are not represented.
Backpacker magazine was for me (initially at least) a colorful...
Thanks for all the input. I'm glad I brought my question here.
As I've pretty much overhauled my gear loadout about 3 times in the last 4 years, I don't have a problem testing out a UQ. If it...
I'm in the North Carolina Sandhills right outside of Fort Bragg (the center of the universe)
I wanted to post this in both forums actually, but figured I'll just do one. Here's the situation:
I have a WBBBXLC DBL 1.1 (on it's way). Right now it's disgustingly hot in the southeast, but I...
So as you can deduce from my title, yesterday I purchased the 11' XLC. Now, the task is finding a tarp to cover it. Again, I'm more weight-conscious than $ conscious, but I'm not going to go the...
Sandhills here. This muggy weather is for the birds! You'd think I'm used to it after being here for 17 years, but ugh! That's why I escape to the mountains whenever I can!
Yeah, the Z-Lite is narrow- I never ever use it for tent camping (back probs), and it is the torso-length model. I do have an REI Flash and Thermarest NeoAir Xlite, but didn't think they'd be a good...
I have only spent a total of maybe 3 hours in a hammock, but I'm ready to dive in the deep end. After reading, researching, and studying, I'm going with the Warbonnet Blackbird XLC over the Hennessy...
Hey all. I'm an avid hiker who loves hitting the AT and whatever other trails and points of interest I can get to with my crazy busy schedule. I pretty much have my gear dialed in, but do to...
