It is probably a tax issue, in which case I fully support the move to a less parasitic state.

I freeze my *ss off in less than 80 degree nighttime temps, and even then I'd not call the sleep comfortable without an underquilt. My half length Warbonnet 40 degree UQ is good for about it's rated...
My tent setup is 16.1 ounces for my tent, 13 oz for my mat and two oz for my inflatable pillow. For the tent I use six stakes, which is the same as for my hammock. I use the the same topquilt or...
Thanks for the info. What I'd like to know is if there are patches not for repairs but like they have for dyneema fabric tents, where you can order a lear patch that has a loop sewn in, so that one...
I really hate dumb advertising. Rated to 800 degrees? Well, I'm only rated to 120.
may be there. If I've not left yet for the AT.
You post makes me nostalgic, well except for the black flies. I grew up camping, hiking and canoeing all over souther and central Ontario, though I have never been to this particular place. It...
There is no mention of any "improvements" if one considers adapting nature to man's needs, mentioned at all. It makes mention of camping fees, but not parking fees, thus people willing to go deeper...
So tell me how many courses in wood science you've taken? How much force does it take to damage the cambium layer and how many trees die when bent but not broken by the wind. You do know that...
I used to value camping and hanging at the Yates camp site in Uwharrie as it is only an hour and a half drive for me. There is now a public input period, which i’ve aleays wondered if any bureaucrat ...
I for one much preffer to camp when it is 96 than 40 degrees - and never yet have had a problem with my down getting wet, so i’m a bit preplexed by some comments. I’ve had dew on my fabric, but is...
I love my underquilts but in my efforts to be able to hike with both a tent and a hammock at the same time, I'm cosidering exploring pad and a good English boiled wool lightweight blanket. I'm going...
I was there last about five hears ago and while there were no poles for hammocks then, we had no pro lems simply hanging from the trees.

I’m glad that your attention to detail is similar to mine, as otherwise i’d be there in two days wondering where all of you are hiding.
I was looking for a how to guide and what problems would be encountered by the inexperienced on this trail as well. Now instead of hiking next year - I'll be reading for three years. ;)
I have it both ziped to either the bugnet of the top protector, but actually in the warm weather I prefer it to not be zipped, and now gravitate towards tying it to the ends. That makes it easier to...
Mine is due to the fact that I have a terrible memory. So in all forums, where the name is not taken, I simply use my first name. If it's taken I go with Pavel+. It keeps simple.
You are in a good place to strike out to many great hammock destinations. I used to go to statesville every second week for several years, years ago, and what a great part of the universe it is if...
I'm pretty inspired just now after getting prodded by forum member Phantom Grappler to finally get out and hike a (very little) bit and hang.
Not one to stick too much to reality, I was wondering...
I really like mine. It even keeps the dew off of my underquilt in normal weather.
Excellent! I've been at it 14 years and am still a newbie. :)
I maybe there tomorrow late in the day, but more likely on Saturday in the early afternoon. It is taking me forever to get my gear sorted, after a few years off.
Thanks. Will do in a week or so after I get back. I'm glad that alternatives are possible and would like to get back to be a contributing member to what I consider an important cause.
I'd be a donating member again, if there were some way to pay for it without having a Paypal account. I got rid of mine and am not planning to get another. I'd even send in a cheque and wait until...
I should be able to find it. I did download and sign up for AllTrails +, and right away realized I would have gone in the opposite direction.
One other question - is there pottable water there, or...
I have a terrible time with knots. Even the simple ones. My left hand and leg has some nerve damage that comes and goes, but sometimes I can't even tie off a simple Tomato plant properly because the...
I put a dyneema tarp into the cart of Friday, but was disapointed that the discount did not work and then noticed a statement that the dyneema products are not part of the sale. When I read your...
This thread smells of desperate optimism. "Hammocks not allowed on any designated state natural area"?? What on earth does that actually mean - no Federal forests within the state? If so, then...
That is quite some creativity in your setup showing. I like it! I'm going to have to spend the next few weeks getting organized.
I always pack one of my Hilleberg tents, for tours, and then...
These shots are a true morale boost to anyone with a pulse. They remind me of my childhood mushroom picking trips with my grandparents in the lower elevations of the Tatras. We didn't have any...
Krásné fotki, a krásná zem.
Is Spencer Creek bridge to the east or west of Ophir Rd? I have a doctor's appointment on Friday but may try to show up on Saturday if the weather is decent. It's been far too long since I've...
Well call me a fool, but I'm a happy fool. I also ordered a 40 degree Yeti underquilt just now. The discount makes a nice difference. Do I need it? Not really. Only as much as I need sunshine in...
I noticed a photo on your site which showed the NAMA claws on the reflective in one photo that you have up - so I got a few to test out. Like I mentioned earlier, they are very reasonably priced and...
Ooops! I spoke too soon. I was on their site a few days ago and there was stock of their glow-wire - but now all the 2mm I checked just now are out of stock. The only stuff that seems to be in,...
The site is up, and he has most lines in stock it would appear. I've got a lot of his glow-wire line at home ranging from 3mm, which seems fatter and more stiff btw compared to the 3mm line on my...
i just took a look at the NAMA claws. Very nice and very reasonably priced. I take it that they only work with the 1.75 zing it or lash it, but not with the reflective NAMA line? The size is very...
Now the waiting part comes, and it's not easy, is it? :D
I try not to check for shipping information more than six times a day.
I could have sworn you were part of the discussion whether to use shock cord or not, on dyneema tarps. I'm uncertain, but have no dyneema tarp YET to come to my own conclusions.
I come from the...
That is very good advice. So far I have bought each tarp in a different color - but I'm close to running out in the stealthy colors that I prefer. Unfortunately due to thread replies elsewhere, some...
Welcome to the site, and I personally found that going to a hang or two is the best way to tame the learning curve. These genteman (and women) fanatics are a friendly bunch ... even in the worst...
I had the mini-fly in the basket since about ten pm on thursday. At the last moment, just before midnight, I swapped it out for the thunderfly in silpolly. Then I went to check out at 12:00 exactly...
I only skimmed most of the thread so apologies if I missed this, but does the tarp sag when you get in, and loosen the tarp a bit?
Were I to make one of these, I would use two foot sections of...
I've got one from Simply light design, but it is a two piece. I wonder "why" a one piece? It seems to me that the two piece is much easier to take appart and deploy the tarp if the rains come, than...
There is a lot of really valuable experience being put into the Hammock bible, that this site is. I, so far, plan to change my approach as far as hanging the ridge-line below the tarp, as I though...
That looks brilliant! Some people are after ultra-light. I'm for ultra-sensible.
I suspect, had I done that - that I'd have been nice and dry - but minus one well imprinted lesson. ;)
Warbonnet got back to me, despite what must be a very busy time right now with their 25% off sale. Nice.
In effect they said that they have seen their tarps used with under the hammock, as well as...
I had a shock cord break on time during a bad blow with rain comming off the lake I was camping beside. Good thing that it was spring and not too cold and that the car was nearby, because everything...
That is good news, and I don't mind being badly wrong - in fact that would be a great positive. That would not be the firsts thing I've gotten wrong and I need to re-evalute and go hang a bit now to...
