I am looking at ordering another quilt and I always choose different colors. This time I am look at red. Can anyone with a premium red tell me which color is closer to reality?
I am having...
OP here, I had been using a split before this thread and asked the question because I bought a second palace for my wife. I did try a continuous for a few trips and really didn't like it because I...
Anyone used a Lynx underquilt on the new 2022 Banyan yet? Thinking about selling my RR and trying a Banyan.
Hi everyone,
My March trip was canceled, so I am going down the second week of October. Not sure is that is a good or bad time of year for crowds on trail. Any other suggested routes are...
Well not a quilt, but they got me again with draft plugs...186333
The 1.9 measure 0.0155" using a caliper or 0.4mm.
I have not been able to find the 1.9 gpf Kevlar straps anymore. Does anyone know someone that offers them? Also, is there a reason people quit using them? We have had no troubles with the two sets...
Her hammock is on its way, 13.6 oz. The color looks kind of cool.

Been needing to buy my wife a new hammock after her Chameleon started getting holes. Since she liked my Darien she decided on a royal purple one of her own. Eager to see how the monolite feels and...
Send me a pm when you start making them because mine are the larger diameter bars.
I was leaning towards the Banshee just to be safe. When looking at pack weights people don't usually consider the size of the person, but I need to for her. She is a trooper and carried over 40lbs...
10' hammocks would be fine. I have been looking at the Trailheadz Banshee and Poltergeist UL, which are 10.5 and 58" wide. 7.5 Oz with the cloud71 and 11 in hexon 1.2.
I am looking for suggestions for my wife. She is really small, 5'2" and weighs 105lbs at the most. Since she is so small, I would like to find the lightest hammock I can, that has an integrated bug...
Kind of a bummer, I order and just received a custom underquilt because when I emailed about the sale warbonnet said custom orders are usually not part of the sale. Guess I should have waited.
Anyone know if HG is having a Memorial day sale?
Still looking
Looking to go as light as possible on a hammock setup for my wife. I am interested in this hammock in cloud71 since it is crazy light at 7.5 ounces. I know the material has had some bad press with...
If anyone wants to sell there cloud71 hammock, preferably a half zip, let me know. I also posted in the want to buy section.
Thanks
Looking for a half zip in cloud 71. Let me know what you got.
Thanks, I was just messing with it yesterday with a pad and found I like it better without, but a really tight pitch.
I had an idea for a cheap lightweight tarp protector yesterday and pickup some wood cabinet knobs on the way home, 88 cents and .16 ounces. I have a Dyneema tarp and have paranoid of poking a hole...
I ended up ordering a 20 degree Lynx and a cheap air pad off amazon. The pad is a 25"x75"x2.5" vertical baffle pad. I am using the pad for insulation, just structure.
On a side note, I bought a...
I am curious if anyone that's had a failure is really small. I wanted to get one for my wife, who is 105lb, and figured it would be safe. That 11oz half zip looks like a nice weight reduction from...
OP here, I wanted to add another quilt to my wall for a Ridgerunner, but no go on bridge quilts. I think it is time for HG to start making them. I will accept a prototype and give feedback. ...
Looking for pictures of the different Lynx colors and patterns. The website leaves a little to be desired in showing the colors. Show me some pictures of your quilts, specifically the camos like...
I planned on ordering these, but my current spreader bars are the larger OD. I could drill them out, but I plan on buying the carbon fiber bars in the future.
Thanks, I have a 11' HG palace tarp right now and I am looking at the silpoly Thunderfly as something to reduce my risk in the Ridgerunner. I have set it up really high, but have some concerns with...
I am thinking about buying a 13' tarp out of 20d silpoly for my Ridgerunner. Anyone have issues with damaging a silpoly tarp with the spreader bars?
Had my first night out last night on trail. Staked out the Palace in double porch mode. Attached my zero degree incubator and added a zlite between the layers. Low was 27F. Stayed warm, except my...
I like my tarps with doors and I can't shut them on my 11' palace because of the suspension system.
Started to get small holes around the gathered end.
Right now I am going to stay with my HG Palace and spreading it wide and high. If I like the Ridgerunner that much I will order a customer Thunderfly or Minifly in 13' 20d silpoly and a underquilt.
Has anyone seen tear strength numbers in comparison to other materials like Hexon 1.0 or MTN1. 2?
I ended up ordering a double layer, 30d in blue. Went with the 30d because it was almost 5 ounces lighter. I emailed them and this was going to be their last run of 30d and they are moving to all...
Just wondering if it is possible. I have used GE hammocks for years, but side/stomach sleep at home. Thinking about trying a bridge hammock
For those that have used both, which do you prefer?
That is where my mind went for something other than normal wear.
Maybe during the night while hanging? It is stored hanging by the stuff sacks on a bedroom wall so it would need some suction cup feet to scale the wall during storage. :)
I have been toying around with the idea of getting a bridge hammock for awhile, and as luck would have it, I need to replace my wife's chameleon because it wore out.
So I am looking for some help...
Hi everyone,
On a trip yesterday my wife noticed something on her chameleon and asked me to look at it. It is a Hexon 1.0 with about 20-30 nights max. It is somewhere around two years old and...
Now delayed until fall for the Banyon. At that point it will be over 1.5 years since the initial run. You can keep waiting and hope it doesn't get delayed for the 20th time :) Also, spiguyver did...
Is stomach sleeping possible with a pad? I am stomach/side sleeper at home, so I am interested in switching from a gathered end
Other than the R value, does the thickness and design of a air mattress make any difference in a bridge hammock?
Here is a screenshot from what the forest service told me and one of my route.

Hi everyone, this is the current route I have planned starting on the 31st.
...
FYI, I sent them an email and they are now saying it will be this fall.
My wife and I are thinking about doing 3-4 days at the gorge at the end of March. I am looking for route and campsite suggestions. Ideally a route around 20-30 miles with all backcountry campsites....
Is there a way I can delete this thread?
Anyone use their Ridgerunner with a HG incubator? Thinking about trying a bridge, but want to buy all new underquilts.
