I've got a DD-only gear setup currently: DD superlight hammock and superlight tarp, and the underquilt.
I also got myself a 25 meter cord and some of their little carabiners. I am glad for that...

I think there are a lot of good points in here.
- better safe than sorry. Walk back or further on if need be. No point in getting up close and personal with a falling tree in the night!
- look up...
Thanks! For them the stand is the perfect height to annoy me easily.
Also, one of them wants to join me in the hammock but with this one I fear the hammock would break. My brother was stupid/brave...
Very nice initiative! On what platform will the podcast be available?
Soooo, I decided to collect my senses and look at the secondhand market. There I found an affordable hardwood stand. The weather used to be great last week, but as soon as I made the deal on the...
Thanks for the reply, it was quite an interesting and inspiring read. I forgot to add to my requirements that I do not wish to build something myself due to to various concerns including safety.

Hello all, with the temperatures rising every year I am looking to get a hammock stand for in the garden. I am unable to screw some eye hooks in the walls, so it must be a stand. A few requirements:...

So this was my 2-night setup last weekend. Friday to saturday it was +1 degree C, with some wind. It took some time to get used to the hammock again.
Saturday morning when the kids...
Teacher who does not raise their voice? what is this, magic? Not many years have passed since I finished my bachelors degree, i remember some teachers very well.... :-)
Welcome!
on a side note;...
I think I will use my hammock next weekend, providing it isnt freezing. Scouts have regional scout championships so I have a 2-night weekend as staff ahead of me. I'll try to remember to take some...
As a scout I did this once too, but we made tripods. the pioneering logs at the campsite were weak though, one broke in half on me during testing. I was like 40kg back then..
Other kids didnt make...
Shug's got a video on calf ridges, maybe that has some good advice.
I am no expert at all, but things I would look at:
- does laying less diagonal help?
- does adjusting the angle of the whole...
i think i have one or two pictures, made in your province actually :-)
should be on my profile i guess
for us dutchies: hang above sea level :)

Sint Walrick, Overasselt. The dutch hammock forum or something like that uses their site every year apparently.
It's not really a scavenger hunt, the point is to complete the hike which is a requirement for the local equivalent of eagle scout i think. we got a certificate and a badge for it.
As promised, some pictures of our hike and the hammock. I slept quite well, the underquilt was a great experience. I did have some trouble with getting the hammock comfortable but we only set our...
Hi,
a friend of mine and I are going to hike the St. Joris hike around Nijmegen this weekend. This will be my first use of my new gear so I'm pretty excited about it.
We have 2 places still...
Just decided with a friend to go and do a hike in 2 weeks, stay tuned!
that video is wild!
just copying from my intro post:
How did I end up in a hammock?
part 1: "hammock = bad for your back"
When I was 16 my group had a summer camp where we either made simple individual shelters for...
Really helpful to read this forum, there are so many things to learn!
And yes it's different here than to the US or Sweden. For example I am not allowed in the forest after daylight hours, let...
I wish it would be legal here to just walk in the forest, find a tree or 2 that are at a suitable distance and sleep there for the night... but you got to be out of the forest by sunset and aren't...
Really interesting to read. I always found it counterintuitive to have the foot end higher than the head end, because our bodies were designed to have the head up and the feet down. I guess this is...
Greetings,
I just upgraded my gear to start hanging more, but I rather do the first few overnighters with someone else who knows their stuff and likes to do these things. Anyone interested in...
Hi!
lots to be learned indeed, most of it is basically trying and getting comfortable with my gear.
I hope there are some people from the BeNeLux or northeastern Germany around here to go camping...
Nice!
How do you go camping? Plan something with friends, or just go somewhere, hang your hammock and that's it?
Ko the crow/raven is a Jungle Book character. I used to be a cub scouts leader and as leaders we used jungle book character names for ourselves. Mine was Ko.
Still a scouts leader, but now of the...
Hi all!
I decided to join this forum yesterday because I intend to use my hammock more.
Some background;
I'm an industrial engineer in daily life, designing the automation elements of bridges,...
