I use an UL big guy from bill with his new full containment bug nets. It is without a doubt the most comfortable hammock I have. And I have a bunch. You can use the arrowhead ridge runner underquilt...
Townsend builds a really nice hammock without a doubt the most comfy bridge. And I’ve messed with the ridgeline a bit. Shortened it a few inches and added a little sag for my liking. Good gravy that...
My first was a Hennessy deep jungle xl. We had some good times. The rabbit hole was deep. Many hammocks,and experiments, later, I found the simply light trail lair to be my end all for the gathered...
There’s no way I would have a hammock that requires a pad. At that point just go with a tent and hit the ground. The Townsend bridge is the most comfortable hammock I’ve used ,and a pretty nice...
I got a rechargeable baby stroller fan that’ll go 40hrs on low. I put the battery/clamp part in the foot end bugnet pocket and a short piece of shock cord from the foot end bugnet inner ring and hang...
Great hammock. Can’t wait to give a new design a shot. Hope he makes a wide version

That’s killer. It’s easily the best piece for dog camping by the looks of it. Now I wanna order one

I’ve tried to get ahold of a few times. Emails, calls, no return. Maybe he’s out on a camping trip with his dog. I’d see that f you can get you $$$ back pronto.

Get a ridgerunner and do away with the problem of calf ridge altogether.

A few DRings on the upper edge and you could put a shock cord over the ridge line and snug it up. And it pulls the sides in. I do this with my SLD trail winder UQs. Makes a difference without having...
I’ve been using the trail winder for a couple years and they are the only UQ I use with my end gathered hammocks. I have 3 in total. I wish Jared would of had this modification when I was buying...
That’s the same hammock that I use. Same color but mine is a hyper d xl. Super large super comfy and well made hammock. I will only use Jared’s trail lair. Been through them all.

I’ve been using a catch-all for a couple years, and you are correct about setup times and simplicity. I do mostly beach camping where I’m exposed to nasty sneaky thunderstorms. So before we leave to...

You probably could. I use a catch all sack which is basically a large snakeskin and just remove all the quilts and pillow when I get back from a trip to properly store them. If your snakeskin is...
The d rings and opposite side zip is standard now and yes the bars are on the outside. And I fully agree with you about the installation pains. Best to just leave that sucker on there for the whole...
I use a spindrift and an under quilt. I leave all of it hooked up including leaving my pillow and top quilt in the ridge runner, slip the catch all sack over all of it and pack it away. Zero fiddle...
If your SF has the little grosgrain loops on the inside along the ridge line you will want to seam seal those also. Mine dripped until I completely seam sealed the entire ridgeline inside and out.

Ive grown pretty fond of the simply light designs trail lair. He will build you one out of MTN 1.2XL which will finish out at about 63-64”. And relatively light for a double layer. You can also go...
I went to a stiff double layer to get comfortable in a gathered end. And wide. You could also try a bridge like the ridge runner, which I find to be a nice compromise. But they have their...
Can’t you just put an overhand loop knot at the end of your cords and larks head them on to whatever you want them on? Or just hook the biner to the ridge line loop?

We get some high winds off the gulf when we’re beach campin and I’ve seen my hammock get rocked too. Tied it up and saved it. At least they’re not too expensive and they’re readily available.

Nearly all of my gear is from him now. Awesome gear and service. This story just solidifies that.

My SF is set for a ridge runner. The MF and TF are standard and work fine. I’ll be honest I like the center pole mod the best on the MF. And I use spreader pole protectors on the hammock for the...
I have a 13 superfly that I hardly ever use. Due to its size. I also have an 11’ Thunderfly that I use a lot with the RR. And a 12’ mountainfly that I use the most. The ridge runner is a pretty small...
Full time here too. Indoors and out. 12’ SLD voyager inside, SLD trail lair outside. I use the lightest trailwinder the Jared makes for an under quilt.

I have both a 13 superfly and a 12 mountainfly. I use the Mountainfly way more than the super. Plenty of coverage and quite a bit more manageable. And the 12’ mountainfly is more than enough coverage...
Just fantastic.

I own 3 trail winders. 20, 40,and a 50. They are my only under quilts now. Super simple. I also exclusively use his trail lair hammock. SLD is really nice gear. Zero complaints a nd nobody gets it...

I camp down there a bunch. Bring a tensa4 or solo poles first off. Since Irma came through there are many dead trees. Most are strong enough but I wouldn’t chance it. Also, be prepared for bugs. Jan...
All my UQs work fin with my 12’ hammocks. Didn’t even have to add an shock cord

That same pain happens to me when I sleep in a bridge hammock. Super comfy right off the rip and a couple hours later I can’t get out of out fast enough. Big wide gathered for me too.

We camp the Everglades and the skits will get between your quilt/UQP and tear you up. I had a DL 1.2 hammock made and they ate me terrible through that. I’ve never been bit that bad. It’s at least...
If it’s too snug add some shock cord. I sleep in one nearly every night and it works fine.

I think it’s a real cool hammock. I would have to send it back for replacement due to that rip along with a copy of this video to prove nothing was done out of whack. Great review of a pretty...

I set my hammock to 83% so I know the net is good then add a few inches to the length with an adjustable ridge line. It allows the sides of the hammock to relax and not put so much tension on the...
I hang my trail lair almost level and I went to a higher angle and a more loose hang and it’s an awesome rig. Add a couple inches to your ridge line
