I have to agree, I ordered and received a hank of THIS and side by side does appear to be the same stuff.

Nice imagery.
I was only able to get to the UP once this season. I am a paddler, but I just disperse camped in the Hiawatha NF and Superior SF when I was there.
Were you near Watersmeet? I’m...
Cub? Cougar bait?
Well, shucks. I received my order a few days ago. It shipped right at 2 weeks, just as promised.
The tag on the two Burrows and the one incubator say it's 800 FP but that's what I ordered so I...
The latest episode of the hammock hangers podcast had some good info about fabrics. The episode centered around heavier hangers and recommended hammock fabrics, but the descriptions given of what the...
This is an interesting thread.
Feet left, head right.
I write right handed, guitar right handed, shoot hockey left handed, bat right handed, golf left. I think the reason I have my head right...
Wow, good news, does that mean my order that still is shown as “Awaiting Fulfillment” gets the upgrade?
One thing I forgot to mention with Amsteel and lash it / zing it. It’s coated with something very slippery. It can be difficult trying to get a prussic knot to remain tight to keep your tarp tight if...
Hey Mike, welcome to the forums. Lots of great info here can be found with some searching.
Amsteel will work, but it is a bit of overkill.
Some tarp fabrics will stretch. Fabrics like silpoly...
Nice travel log.
What river did you camp at in the last scene?
I had some ReflectIt cordage in multiple colors, I put yellow pulls on the inside and blue on the outside of the bug net. I capped those off with the glow in the dark pull tabs from Dutch. You can’t...
Sweet, we don’t get that view much in the Mitten.
I paddle a sea kayak and I was getting pucker factor reading your story! Glad you made it out.
I bought a waterproof Nikon point and shoot for paddle pictures. On it I have a wrist band foam...
I just washed my hammock. I bought some wool wash stuff from the dollar tree.
The water after washing in a bucket was turbid to say the least. Rinse, hand wash in the bucket and repeat. The fabric...
Do you just larks head the foot end strap to the rear wheel?
I have spent quite a few nights out in the woods following the setup guidelines.
The first few times I was dubious of the ball end connectors, but they worked fine. I trust them now but they...
Loosing a pet is rarely easy. Sorry for your loss.
Good episode!
The only thing better than a new Bandit is a new Bandit and a matching Zeppelin!
Welcome from the other side of the mitten.
Lots of great places to hang north of you.
Did you get a shot of him setting up his Tensa4?
Nice looking spot and the drive out looked great.
Are you willing to share the forest road number where you were?
Last season I camped a lot between Tawas and Lumbermans monument. Looking for...
Welcome to the forums.
Back in the day I used to tent camp in the east Texas “piney woods” as we called it. I remember camping quite a bit around Rusk and further south in the Davy Crockett...

Good episode!
Edit: The sounds he recorded on the Pine Island Double Falls hike are interesting to be sure. No telling for sure what he recorded but with all the rock formations and leafless trees...
Excellent captures!
Fine business

Glad I could help. Some times not knowing what something is called can make a search for info on it difficult.
I’ve retrofitted two tarps with linelocks and it does help with dialing in tarp guy...
TAC Blades has a soft shackle tutorial with a very similar button knot as this done with 7/64 amsteel.
I’ve made quite a few of them and use them on hammock chairs and a few other things. They...
Good to know.
The cam lock thingy might be called line locks. When threaded correctly, they hold quite well. Are they like this?

Or this?

But it does have the specs you were looking for.
If you think about it after you take it out, report back if it’s a thumbs up 👍
Good episode. Listened to it in the car on the way to a day hike today.
That Wagner ware iron has an excellent seasoning on it. Is that a daily use skillet or just for camping?
Was the HT a 2 meter? It looked like a Motorola.
Just today I was mapping out locations...
I have two of these Gold Armor tarps. I keep them in my car all the time for just in case & for car camping.
The 10’ x 8’ has become my favorite. I hang it asym on the long diagonal with split...
That is a great idea, thank you. I was going to use a length of black pipe instead of a Tensa Solo pipe for my single tree solution. For a footing, I was going to use a floor flange and a small piece...
Nice trip report.
I’ve never done the loop, but I have enjoyed the MRT a few times. I was lucky enough to see less than 10 people each time I was there.
Excellent images! The morning fog in...
Thank you for the links! The write up on the park and pack area is exceptionally good!
Do you camp dispersed in the Mohican Memorial state forest or at the campground?
Are you allowed to disperse camp in Ohio state forests?
You can disperse camp in Michigan but you have to print...
Anyone can plan a hang and invite folks to join. There is a subforum here for posting that. Since you know the area where you live pretty well and know places that could support a set number of...
Thank you. It was a warm day in July and standing in a very chilly river was quite worth the shot.
I have a friend with a cottage on Rainy Lake, every time I visit I go check out Ocqueoc Falls. Very picturesque.
I really like Pidgeon River Country and Atlanta Forests!
There are quite a few...
Welcome fellow Michigander!
Are you a south of the bridge guy or a Yooper?
I’m definitely older, but not female and I’ve been known to hang in the Huron and Manistee National forests along with...
I have to +1 on this. I was skeptical if this method would work well with a wet tarp. What I found after two camp outs that had rain both times, the moisture on the tarp made it easier to do the...
Sorry for your loss. These things never happen at a good time.
I sometimes hang two tarps when I car camp, when I backpack I only hang one though.
Depending on your state, you may have a solution for ditching of the RV crowd. I think there are some national...
Everyone does it a little bit different and none of them are wrong.
My guy lines have been evolving as I hang more. Right now I’m at 7’ for the corners but that may change. As I’ve tried out...
Hey Chris,
Good episode. I like your idea of having Hickory on, he does seem like a character I would listen to. And with regard to editing, I thought things flowed really well. I know there are...
I do like the method. I just folded and stowed my tarp twice for practice. The second time the tarp did not make the stuff sack look like a bloated sausage!
This was not a silpoly or silnylon...
Good folding method!
It never occurred to me to do the zig zag method with one side of the ridge line still attached.
I’m going out to the garage to repack the tarp I put away yesterday since I...
I also bought a set of quilts from UGQ for my wide Chameleon. They fit perfect. I drove to Jackson to pick them up when they were done. The guys there were quite helpful answering my questions on how...
