I’ve had one since 2007 but like carmen2 said they aren’t very big. I too moved to a warbonnet XLC and it was like moving from the trailer park to the gated community :lol: they are incredibly...
Clark was the first hammock I ever purchased back in 2007. It was difficult back then to find the cottage vendors and my internet research skills were not as dangerous as they are now. I remember...
Just did a trip up to Juniper Springs. Opted for the roof top tent for for sleeping (trying it out as it is our newest piece of gear) and strung a hammock for afternoon naps. If you haven’t made this...
You guessed it ;)
And the handcuff suspension would be great! Lol

Yeah I wouldn’t play around with a Walmart Biner using some Chinese 1080 or 1095 steel. Make sure it’s actually weight rated. There are some bumps in the night I can live with, the bump after a fall...
This is my worst fear! Several years ago I was in Yosemite and heard that a woman was killed when a branch crashed into her tent. Ever since, I’ve taken great care at surveying the branches above and...
Now I’m curious...Does anyone know his real name? That might help.

Well here’s a new twist to hammocking. I was recently assigned to some beach surveillance for some criminal activity in the area. Knowing I would be out for 8-12 hours in the outdoors, I decided to...
It’s not a bridge, it’s not a gathered end...what would you call this? And who makes one in the US?

My luck some ranger would come along and just cut it all down. (In my best ranger voice) “Look at all this rope tied to trees!” (Takes our Swiss Army knife)

I would use Zingit and put a reflective piece of tape on them if you really feel the need for reflection on your line. I’ve got some zingit I’ve been using on an older tarp since 2006 and it’s still...
Well folks, itÂ’s been a long time since IÂ’ve posted so I thought it would be fitting to post my most recent trip report.

I live on a portion of the Ocean to Lake Trail (OTL). It starts at Lake Okeechobee and is a little over 60 miles to the ocean. Great hammock camping everywhere you look! There are some enormous...
Looks like it worked out perfectly

I also wouldn't worry too much about UQ or pad. My son is like a furnace when he sleeps. All I did was take a full size 40° sleeping bag, put 550 cord real tight in the middle (cutting the...
When I take my 6 yr old son I try to bring one of his cousins that has the same amount of energy my son does. Our expectations are different. For example, I enjoy relaxing while he enjoys swinging...
When I take my 6 year old we always do the bunk method. Plus he's so small he just rolls out in the mornings and hops in with me. I enjoy snuggling him listening to his plans for the day while...
@adam.b I've had no problem at all with slippage or strap wear. I was concerned it might be hard on the strap but it's shown no sign of fraying or anything like that.

That ridgerunner has become my go to hammock! I really appreciate you putting me onto that! (Side note: we need to get another trip in soon)
So far it seems to be holding up. I don't get to lay...
I'm like you man, I always like a visual! In the original photo I hadn't added the "kickstand" but after some recommendations from so other members, I added a 2x4 as an angle support about 1/3 of the...
A little video showing off how nicely this turned out!

Yeah dude I was kicking myself when I got home. There were so many people I wanted to catch up with and didn't get the chance. Next year we need a time where everyone gets together at the first...
It would be a great hike for kids!
Thanks for watching!

Ok young lady it's back up for your viewing pleasure. Please pass my thanks on to Timber for his keen eye ;)

Yeah Timber brought something to my attention that needs some minor editing. It will be back up soon I promise ;)

The lake is huge and people ended up spreading out last year. I stayed with a few folks on the opposite side of the lake. Gave me a little more privacy, quite time and most importantly made me walk...
So it looks like we're good until around Sunday afternoon correct?

That would be great! I won't get in until Friday afternoon but would enjoy a slide show Friday night and a hit the trail Saturday morning!! I'm sure there would be some a few others interested

Lilricky,
Any chance you'd be willing to provide a self guided tour of that trail and waypoints/points of interest for those that won't be able to make it Friday but might trek out Saturday?

Fantastic solution! See, now you're a real scout "Master"! Good job friend

I still don't understand why you can't sleep in your hammock?

And there's going to be two other Marines there if you need anything ;)

I think the problem might be that people are going to the video from the forum. If you don't watch the vid in YouTube you won't get the option to like it. Not to mention you won't be able to...

Thanks for the info. Don't like to put pressure on anyone but what a great opportunity for cottage vendors to be seen. What we've got going on at hangcon HAS to be one of the best events out there...
Just set up my cloudburst tarp for the first time and was very happy! Easy to set up and incredibly light weight. Attached a little video of the quick install. Hope you enjoy [emoji4]

#4 is a great suggestion that I wish I'd heard when I first got into hammocks. I started with a Clark Jungle Hammock a sleeping bag from Walmart and no idea that anyone else on the planet was...
An UQ will certainly help! Down here in south Florida it typically isn't the temperature outside that gets me, it's the wind. With an UQ it eliminates all chill for me in the winter months. You have...
Very mild temperatures. I don't remember it getting down into the the 30's but it was chilly at night. Daytime you should be able to wear shorts though :)

I thank you all for the replies and suggestions! I ended up adding an angled support 2x4 on the pressure side. I'll keep an eye on it and try to update you all in the coming months. Truth be told I...
