Welcome from another hammock paddler. Nothing better than time on the water and in the trees to restore your soul & fuel your spirit.
Wilderness Logics Wild River tarp. Marty designed that tarp for me to use on whitewater rafting trips with 6-8 people. 12X15. Packs small and light. Much better design that a Noah. Easy to pitch taut...
I have bought and sold a whole bunch of hammocks over the years. All brands, sizes, and styles. I now have 2 that are keepers. The one thing that I learned in all my experimenting was that I prefer a...
Merry White Christmas from Utah. 8 inches so far. Might have to strap on my snow shoes to go for a walk in the neighborhood. I tried to walk my dog around the block & he stalled out on me. He did...
Working for me now without the need to do anything.
We had a rain, then sleet, then snow storm last night here in Salt Lake City. Today it's gorgeous, with bright sun, blue skies, cold air, and everything covered in white. I started my Thanksgiving...
Got a heads-up email from Wilderness Logics a few days ago.
DON'T FORGET WILDERNESS LOGICS
5 day blowout sale starts 11/23/15 @ 12:00 pm EST. last till Monday 11/28/15 @ midnight EST Don't miss...
I ground sleep a lot when kayaking in So. Utah desert canyons. I have my old 20 degree HG TQ that works fine all summer, and my WL zero degree wide TQ for spring & fall. LOVE top quilts. I have...
Watch for Holiday/Black Friday sales. Many of the cottage vendors have discounts this time of year.
I own a Hammock Gear 20 degree and a Wilderness Logics Zero. Both are great. I would give the edge to Wilderness Logics due to speed of delivery and I LOVE the fleece face patch thingie on my WL zero...
I just came across this. An inflatable pad specifically designed for a hammock. Wings for side insulation and a non-slip bottom surface. R-value is only 1.6, so that might not work for everyone....
I'll put in a plug for Marty at Wilderness Logics. I have the zero degree 55 X 72 TQ. I'm 5'5" and I love this TQ. The fleece patch is genius. It keeps my face extra warm and I can remove & wash it...
I have had several bear encounters in Grand Teton Nat. park while kayaking this summer. Clapping and a loud voice worked just fine. I carry bear spray plus the above mentioned compressed air horn....
Great trip report. I'm heading to Yellowstone next week to paddle and camp on Yellowstone Lake.
A Trek Light double was the first hammock I ever owned and what led me the Hammock Forum. I still have it, use it from time to time, and love it. 10 foot and really wide. Supper comfy and well made.
Fresh air and trees.....The best medicine in the world.
Dude.....pimp my ride.
I've always had pretty good & timely service from Amazon. Yesterday I noticed something that had me scratching my head???? I was shopping for a new kayak paddle jacket. I like Kokotat stuff, so I saw...
Payment received. I will mail the Snugpak UB in the next couple of days and will PM the USPS tracking number. Thanks & enjoy the Snugpak.
Sold pending payment.
I know folks are looking for these and having a hard time with finding them, or waiting forever for shipment. This is a lightly used, like new Snugpak Under Blanket for sale. A few non-permanent mods...
Unfortunately this is not a solitary event. I know of another family that this happened to many years ago. The child was thankfully not killed, but received fairly significant injuries. Same...
What are the dimensions & weight on a New River short in 3S? What's the wait time on getting one?
Prayers for CBP's swift recovery and a huge thumbs up for you guys for the rescue. You were angels in hiking boots that day for sure.
I'm voting for #8
I posted this in the paddling forum, but someone suggested it might be helpful in this thread as well for lady paddlers. I shared my kayak toilet set-up that I used on a recent 4 day kayak trip on...
Does anyone have a picture of a 70 inch packed in it's stuff sack? I'd like to get a visual on packed size. Thanks.
5'5" tall and love my 11 footer. I have an 11 foot X 64 inch wide, and a 10 foot X 72 wide. Both are comfy, but I like the 11 footer the best.
I can't fill in my info. The document says read only.
Oops....I got it now. Info added. You should add a temp rating column. I listed info on both of my quilts 20degree & 0degree
I currently own two hammocks. The first is my old trusty Trek Light Double which is 10ft X 72 wide. Super comfy, but the floppy edges are a little troublesome. Not troublesome enough to part with it....
I'll be in that area next weekend, but I'll be in a kayak, down on the Colorado River. Potash to Spanish Bottom. 4.5 paddle days. How well did your MSR filter work on the murky water? I'll be...
I'll bow out and let dtp2c111 have the hammock.
I'll take the hammock. PM your paypal info.
Is this set up for head right, feet left?
Do you have any pictures of it in use/hanging?
Payment received. Will PM tracking # when I mail the package this week.
Thanks.
Thanks. Payment info sent.
Sold pending funds.
One more price drop.....$250.
Price drop.....$255
Great TQ for folks 6 foot and under who need extra warmth in a TQ for spring/fall/winter.
I got a customized HF flag from her, as well as a larger customized flag for my raft. She is great to work with.
Not a bag....just a flag. Hammock Forum flags by Devil Woman Flag. She does custom flags for HF members that are hung from the hammock suspension. Usually used at group hangs.
Here's one that's 10ft. 6 inches long & 6ft. 6 inches wide. I'm sure there's an 11 footer on Amazon somewhere with more searching??? More than 11 feet long will cause you set-up issues....
Now you're getting somewhere. Plenty long & Plenty wide. The problem now will be the stand. Most of those metal stands are made for shorter hammocks. You will need a lot more distance & height...
Don't get a hammock with a spreader bar on the end. Very tippy and not very comfy. Get a mayan hammock. All of the metal stands are about the same, just make sure it's the right length for the...
Awesome.....Identity crisis solved. Now I truly know what I am. I'm fluffy. I feel much better now. Thanks.
After you read up on hammocks in general like others have suggested, look for a mayan...
This was my first time with a sewn footbox, and I've decided to go back to the snaps & drawstring.
Great TQ for folks under 6 foot, and any lady hammockers who like need a warmer quilt.
Wilderness Logics Zero degree TQ for sale. Brand new, purchased at Christmas time. Never slept in or taken out of the house. Stored loose in cotton storage bag. Size 72X55. Mocha brown outer/black...
Best of luck in the next chapter of your lives & thanks for the wonderful hammocks I've had the pleasure of hanging in!
Hammeck, Dream Hammock, Dutchware.....all make excellent 11 foot hammocks in the wider fabrics. I'm only 5'5" and I love my 11 ft. X 64 wide Hammock Breezy. Lots of room to stretch out and get...
#1 - check it out before you take it out. Your backyard is the place to practice and tweak your set-up.
#2 - check your suspension & knots before making a fool of yourself in front of your friends....
I'm 5'5" and I'm so-so on the Knotty mod. I hated the flapping fabric on my super wide hammock so I added DIY Knotty mods. I like the foot end one. The head end one got rid of the extra fabric, but...
