Just wanted to be sure you guys knew about this
Subbed. Not a lot of people doing this in north LA. I'm trying to get started and finding that my local community might not exist.
Thats a fair point. An alternative might be to thread the 45s on with some thread tape until you could line everything up just right, then drill a hole through those joints and pin them in place...
Not sure it's clear in the video, but yes, I believe that is the case. Also thought about offsetting these about 15-20° on each end to extend the hammock away from the vehicle and hardware (as McLean...

Shug! I'm such a fan, for years now!
I had forgotten that they had this model. That's good to know, but the cost is still an issue. The above video just grabbed my attention because it looks like...
Hi all,
Trying to spend more time (and nights) in my hammock, and in my situation I figure I could if I had a good hitch receiver hammock stand. I've seen a lot of buzz around the one from Mclean...
So, I hate to be the one to ask, but is this thing going to get cancelled due to all of this virus nonsense? I'm certainly not advocating that it should, but as the date is approaching, the sooner...
Would really love to make this as its one of my favorite parts of the country, but unfortunately its not going to work out this time. Luckily, there's another just after in LA not terribly far from...
Oh wow, that would be fantastic! My friend and I both have "starter hammocks" and I have a DIY underquilt (PLUQ) and a cheapo tarp, but that's all we have at present. Tough to know what the weather...
Planning to attend as my first hang (though its too soon to be certain)! Trying to get into hammock camping and gain some hands-on knowledge of gear choices, etc, so I can make some wise purchase...
Hey thanks! I don't want to spend a whole bunch of money up front trying to figure out what kind of gear works for me. I've been looking for an opportunity to attend something like this so I can...
Very interested in joining this hang as I been to that area before (its beautiful!). Trying to get into hammock camping but not entirely sure about equipment choices. Would love to gets hands on...
I'm in Northern LA. I'd certainly like to be kept informed. Looking to get some more experience (total newb).
I am looking to do something like this not too far from home, and I'm in Northern LA. Would love to join you. Only potential issue is that I have 4 kids and November tends to be a busy month, but if...
Wasn't looking for an underquilt until I joined this forum. But, the members here have convinced me to go that route and not waste time on pads. I live in the south and will never need anything...
This is a really good point. Hadn't thought of it that way. You guys have just about got me convinced. I think I will save up[ and purchase a full length 20* UQ. I've also seen a couple of videos...
Thanks to all for replies, but I must admit, I don't think I can afford some of your suggestions right now (kids need braces and such). Let me ask the question this way: if you were just starting out...
Heyo!
So I have everything together for my first camping rig except the bottom insulation. I think I've decided to start out with a mat rather than an underquilt, mostly for the versatility. I...
Hello all from North West Louisiana (essentially deep East Texas)! I'm trying to get into hammock camping to escape my crazy life as an IT guy and father of 4. I"ve started off with some cheaper...
