Thanks for all the replies, very informative

Thanks for your reply. I don't use trecking poles, but could just as well buy a set instead of tarp poles. The only issue I imagine tho is that trecking poles are way shorter than tarp-poles. This...

I got a journey tarp from Hammock Gear which has two pullouts on either side. I've been wanting to buy some poles for porch mode, but not wanting to buy additional lighter flexible poles for the...

Haven't had a chance to get anyone to help me adjust it yet, but I'll get someone to.

But you just cleared up that I seem to have misunderstood something. I was under the impression that the UQ...

I have considered switching out the set length of shock cord with some extra long for adjustment purposes, and plastic cord locks (dunno if they'd even hold when I put my fat arse in the hammock)....

I'm familiar with the gap. My uq has (as all quilts I assume) a cord to tighten around the hammock. What I was thinking was that, as long as there's no gap, then the more air trapped inside that will...

Unexperienced hammocker here (I'm almost ashamed to say this, as the time I've owned all the gear I need I should be an experienced hammocker by now). I'm also a overthinker, which is the reason for...

Thanks for all replies.

This is the tarp btw for anyone unfamiliar: https://www.hammocking.no/assets/img/1024/1024/bilder_nettbutikk/b88d14bba83898e4b81e0e9691684e66-image.jpeg

Just answering...

Setup: Continuous rl with tarp sliding on prusiks.
Was out testing my HG Journey and couldn't find the hang I desired. Tightning the sides pulled the tarp down from above my head to shoulder height....

You're using the REI-poles for the mod?! Unless the heavy duty tent pole (are there a name to differenciete the collapsable poles and the adjustable ones that hold up the tarp? I mean they're both...

That's brilliant. Now I got a reason to buy poles for porch mode as they additionally can be used like this along with some shock cord. Thanks for the tip.

Well I changed my mind last minute and ordered a journey. Went for a 11 foot instead of a 12. Found posts here with people swearing to both, so it wasn't easy.
Reasons for going for a 12 is I don't...

I've always doubted that there's enough friction from a continuous rl to damage a tarp that much, and I've prefered to keep most of my rl dry in addition to occasionally hanging stuff on it (which as...

I'm willing to risk the wear on the tarp as I don't believe there will be enough friction to cause that much wear on the tarp, atleast not when it's all set up. Ofc I could be wrong.
But I've added...

Hmm, some great replies here. Btw I've been wondering, are there customary standards/culture of replying to each post individually? I'm an overthinker but I'm also very grateful for every reply I get...

K, so I know there's no correct answer for this, and the nagging feeling in the back of my head is propably the closest thing there is to an answer.
A tarp with doors just makes sense to me as it's...

Some great replies. Hope I'll be forgiven for not replying individually, but much food for thought and ideas to try out.

To add, the legendary shug replying to my post. Might he the first time in...

Thanks for the reply.

The ridgeline is in my case already tied up between the trees, so the main concern I have is friction of the prusik sliding back and forth every time I rig it, and the bag...

K, so I'm curious if anyone has tried this method or has any reasons why I shouldn't do this.
I know I'm overthinking this but I'm trying to find the best/most efficient setup.

This is my setup:...
