Muller State Park, I will give them a call tomorrow and see what the deal is. I've read a few articles online about how the state parks in Co are not hammock friendly. Thanks for the tips you all,...
Hello everyone,
I'm from Louisiana (unfortunately) and we will be going on vacation in Colorado Springs next week. I am bringing my camping gear (and renting some there due to airline baggage...
I use an underquilt every time I go camping in Louisiana. If it isn't cold outside I don't go. It is simply too hot, too humid, and too many mosquitoes to go otherwise. I can't wait to get out of...
Hi, LocoLibre gear has underquilts that are made for the clark NX-270. I own one and it is very high quality, and I have no complaints. Check them out:...
If you have any bits left over, I would be MORE than interested in a small piece of it. Maybe a 2" x 2" square? Something that I could frame and put into my space collection. Maybe we could work...
Sometimes I will just take the extra strap (or whatever i am using at the time) and tie a couple slip knots on the loaded strap until it is all off of the ground. If you want to be extra neat about...
Welcome from New Orleans (sadly, yes)
It's hard to beat the sleep one gets in a hammock! As far as your next rig goes, there are many good ones to choose from. Personally, I like my Clark NX-270 but they aren't made anymore so you would...
Yeah, sounds exactly like the pockets on a Clark. There are 3 on each side that wraps around to the middle of the bottom of the hammock and has zippers on the inside. Clark used to sell the feature...
My Clark has pockets sort of similar to that and I love them. The pockets on a Clark extend underneath though, but they work wonderfully for clip-on items. I think it would be a better idea to use...
Holy cow. That looks amazing.
Kill a tauntaun instead. Poor Chewie, everybody wanna slice him open and hop in haha. I mean, without Chewie, who is going to mash the gas pedal on the spaceship when someone yells "PUNCH IT"
Yep.
I won't be attending but this post got me thinking. If there is a hang in my area I would like to see a homemade alcohol stove competition. I think the different designs and the constant tinkering...
Hahaha.. I just noticed your profile pic. I LOVE IT!
With Clark out of business, the market is prime for another hammock with poles. It's the reason that I bought a Clark.
That looks like some quality work there. I can't wait to get mine!
Yep. About another week or so for mine.
That looks amazing! One day soon I am going to go camping in the snow hopefully.
I had always wondered about this but always assumed that it would be an issue.
If you want to go double hammocks and still sleep together, Dutchware makes some hardware that you can use a spreader...
I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with using the UQ made for a Clark hammock on another brand of hammock? I have a jungle pepper quilt on order and have been looking at other hammocks...
Yeah, I guess that does make sense. Either way, you will have to have multiple hammocks or multiple under quilts, right? I use a Clark and have never really needed an underquilt so I am probably...
Those do look like great hammocks and are more in line with what I am asking about. It just seems logical to me to have built-in insulation but there must be a reason that everyone uses under quilts.
Hey guys,
I just learned about the Swayy hammocks ( https://www.swayyhammocks.com/insulated-hammocks-shop ), and I think that it looks intriguing. My question is not so much about this particular...
I kind of wanted to get in on it but without an agreed-upon price range I didn't want to have someone send me a $200 item and I only sent a $40 item. Maybe next year if there is a pricing detail it...
Good looking dog! That is about the size of my Roo Roo, so maybe I will give it a try when I get another hammock. My current hammock is a Clark and I just can't risk it now that they are gone. Do...
Not to hijack your post, but what was the consensus on single vs double layer? I am getting ready to order another hammock and would love the cost and weight savings of single, but I live in a swamp...
I see that you are from Texas, if Texas is anything like Louisiana mosquito-wise, you may want to ask around about single/double layer. A double layer is supposed to offer more mosquito protection...
I was thinking of going with some of that flat synthetic insulation between two sheets of fabric. I'm leaning towards the pup-tent and modifying it with the insulation on the walls and floor where it...
That is one good looking photogenic dog there!
Welcome from another newbie! You are truly lucky to live in TN, I make my way up there nearly every chance that I get to go to Windrock and do a little riding. My girlfriend and I are always...
Shug has a video on that (and just about everything else hammock related) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGJxi5j6rGU
I like Shug's videos, I learned a lot from them.
Hope this helps.
Rocks? What's a rock? Is that one of those hard pieces of mud that they have up north? haha. Yeah, I have pretty much decided on the pup tent, I plan to modify it when I get it to add some fluff to...
I would love to, but unfortunately down here going camping during the summer months is almost a suicide mission. If one doesn't die of heatstroke or dehydration, the mosquitoes will suck all of the...
Haha, you kid but in reality, it's a real bummer. On my last trip, I got there and set up camp and noticed that all of my gear smelled a little funny. It wasn't until I got settled into my hammock...
What made me a hanger? In short, the ground. :lol: As I got older tent sleeping started to hurt more and I realized it was a better way. I mean, if hammocks were good enough to sleep on the moon...
Firewood, I'm always gathering firewood, the chore that never ends. But once it gets dark, I sit back and myself and my dog enjoy the fire and some spirits. Spirits are for me, not the dog :)
Yep, me too. I am anxiously awaiting the delivery of a Loco Libre UQ. 0-degree jungle pepper. 900 goose down with 3oz of extra 900 goose down. I think that should keep me pretty warm :)
Hey...
I like to get away from people so I tend to stick to off the beaten path places. ATV trailheads (plus I can bring my ATV), wildlife management areas in the off hunting seasons, and backpacking...
Medic because I am a paramedic, and pathetic because it's a word that I used to use a lot.
I just wanted to give some praise to the people over at whoopieslings.com. Last night, somewhat late, I ordered some whoopie slings and within about 15-20 minutes I got an email saying that they...
I just ordered my first underquilt from Loco Libre, it's an overstuffed 0 degree, I was wondering the same thing as the OP but I figured that I could just adjust my temperature by using a different...
I thought about a foam pad, I think that it will be too big to fit into his pack. The more I think about it the more I want to find/make something inflatable. I like the dutch pup tent though, it...
Thanks for the tip but Holy cow that Pet Palace is expensive. $185 dollars is a bit much for me. I like the idea though, it gets the wheels turning on something that I could make, but it looks like...
I am wondering if anyone here can share what they do when they go backpacking with their dog(s). Specifically I am looking for reccomendations for sleeping arrangments in cold weather. Last time I...
Generally, I usually hang at the Bethel atv trailhead in Desoto, it is nice and quiet there. If I am not hanging there I am backpacking the black creek trail. I just saw the thread about Airey...
Thanks for the help, this gives me some starting points. I wish that I could just find a Z-liner for sale.
I am looking for recommendations for a synthetic filled UQ for my girlfriend's Clark NX-270. The problem is that she is allergic to down and it seems that all that I can find is down underquilts. I...
Hello everyone, long time reader, first time poster here from south Louisiana. While not new to hammock camping I am always looking to learn new tricks and techniques. My main setup is a Clark NX-270...
