Question answered
Hi everyone. Been lurking a few months after all the help you guys have given me. I think I have finally accumulated everything I need to get out and hang for the first time. What I was wondering...
Due to "extreme" weather here in the midwest, I finally received the last of the components for my project today. So hopefully I will get it started this week. The down throws are much thinner thn I...
Is utilizing the Kam snap techniques from the Gemini something that can be done on any UQ or would you run the risk of somehow damaging the UQ if you do it on a professionally made one from the...
I am about to make my very first Gemini and was interested in your line loc mod. Any chance you could detail your process for those of us that are slow figuring things out from pictures?
I too love my trail lair. Only used it indoors so far but for over a month now. And while I can't speak to its use outdoors I can reaffirm that Jared is the best vendor I have ever dealt with in any...
I was reading your original post with great interest. Do you feel the pole length issue is strictly because of your material choice? I was looking at the Winter Haven in SilPoly and wanted to do the...

Yes. Yes, I am!
I pulled the trigger and ordered all the parts I need to make my first Gemini. I expect the various parts to all arrive this week and I will construct the Gemini this weekend with my daughter's...
Yes! That is it. Thank you. I didn't even click on your link, I just looked at the chart. I'm sorry. My mistake.
My understanding of the chart you posted is that it has temp on one axis and APEX level on the other. I suppose you could determine the equivalent APEX from the temp rating and then add the two APEX...
Thank you, but no. It had temp ratings across the top and sides and where the two met it told you what the temp rating was if you layered the two together. It was referenced in a thread in the last...
Thanks, everyone for your patience with all my questions as I try to figure out what to do and how to do it.
1. I know everyone has there own sleeping temp and different people get different...
Those look great!
So does the tarp extension require the pins in the poles as a stopper to work properly or would it work with a one-piece pole DIY stand?
So while I tinker with different DIY stands, I ordered some L-Track and attached it to the corner studs and one stud next to a window. I have a 24" track that we hook both hammocks up to and then...
So with the drill bits that I already own, my choices would be 5/16" which is just barely under 8mm or 3/8" which is just over 9.5mm. Would that be a Goldilocks scenario where one is too small and...
Not sure who you are asking, but as far as the one I ordered, it comes with a 48" width.
Jared at Simply Light makes a Micro Lair for kids which is an 8ft version of the Trail Lair that is also narrower than standard. I got that for my daughter, who is 4' 8".
To be honest I had a...
Jared also makes one out of either Ion or Argon 90 and with or without insulation. If you want other options.
If I wanted to order your toggles and connecting lines to use with my poles, how large a hole do I need to drill in the poles to accommodate them?
So I could just essentially make two extra castor pieces and omit the #1 snaps on the two short ends. I haven't watched the video in detail, but is removing the seams still the way to go or can you...
Apparently, my google skills don't extend to the search function on this forum. I tried to look but kept getting way too many hits.
Is anyone aware of a no-sew CDT top quilt that would be the TQ...
I was hoping someone might have an educated guess on the actual insulation ability of the cheap Uboway quilt. If not I can experiment I was just hoping someone might have some experience with...
I would just like to say how impressed I am and how much I appreciate all the help and answers you give to the DIY folk on this forum. Considering you make the product commercially it is incredibly...
Are all four poles the same length and are all the holes equidistant from the ends of the poles? Is there some measurement or feature that delineates the head end from the foot end or is it simply...
For some reason when I attempt to follow your link it tells me I do not have permission to view the page.
I'm still playing around with a bunch of ideas to minimize cost and maximize usage.
I am getting 2 sets of CDT's and making two Gemini's. That will definitely take care of my at-home needs and in...
It was really awesome coming out and meeting all the great hangers and getting a tour of the different gear. Thanks so much for making my daughter feel welcome no matter how shy she was being. She...
Would one seam sealing kit provide enough to seal two tarps if I am just doing the ridgelines? I assume it would.
Also looking down the road is a continuous ridgeline universal? Such that I...
Very nice. The Penny Pincher looks like a great choice. Hopefully, I can grab one on two while they are still on sale.
Thank you, everyone, for all the feedback. I appreciate it so much.
Somewhere around $100 give or take is probably a good range but that is a little flexible depending on features and extras. If we start getting up there too high it would just make more sense to buy...
I like the size and economy of the asyms, and that was what I looked at first, but neither of us has really confidently figured out our lay yet so I was concerned that would not be the way to go...
Seems like a very solid option, unfortunately, neither of those colors appeals to my daughter. She is at the picky age. Will they do custom colors?
Long term I want the Winter Haven to cover both of us, but for the 3 season tarps, I was not looking for one big enough to share, although that would not be a bad thing.
Yeah literally just missed out on that option
Looking to purchase some tarps.
My daughter has an 8' Micro Lair and I have an 11' Trail Lair.
The long-term plan is to get a Winter Haven that will cover both of us at the same time, but in...
Great, thanks. I will give it a shot with just running the paracord through the grommets and tying it off. Any guidance on the ending size of the loop created. I assume it shouldn't be snug against...
Okay. Ready to get back to this. I drilled holes in the bottom of each pole and inserted rubber grommets.
What type of load do the loops that attach the legs together bear? Can I just use paracord...
I may have to take my daughter straight to mom after our visit so I was wondering if anyone could give me insight on how dirty she will get on the hike in. Anyone know the quality of the trails or...
Looks like my daughter and I will make it for a few hours on Saturday in the late morning or early afternoon. Its a surprise for her but she said she would love to see how people set things up once...
I appreciate it, but I still don't have nearly enough equipment. Pretty much all I have are the hammocks with no suspension longer than 3', and even if I could borrow all that I needed (top and under...
If my daughter and I are able to swing by can we park for a few hours near the site at McKinley Woods since it won't be overnight or do we need to plan on hiking in and out?
Thankfully at 9 years old, she is not disturbed by these things. LOL
I just need to know if I need to adjust it so that it is at 30 when she is in it.
30* Hang angle is with person in it or when hanging empty hammock? I had it set for a perfect 30 and then she got in it and now it is at 38.
This hang would only be a small detour as I take my daughter home that weekend. Would this be an event where we could pop in during the day on Saturday and see people's setups and equipment and see...
Yeah. I will probably drill holes in the feet and use soft shackles or some other tied connection. I just wasn't up for it tonight or tomorrow. Before I put the rubber tips on it was fine because...
