If you're considering purchasing a new machine, try to get one from a local shop or dealer - somewhere that can offer service and repairs. They may also offer a free sewing class to get you up and...

I've never felt a cold draft with my Wooki. Quick, easy to hang. I sleep great with it both on my back and side.

Great to meet you, Phantom Grappler! I had a great hike going NOBO that weekend from Iron Mountain Gap to 19E, camping at Ashley Gap and then Overmountain Shelter (The Barn). Beautiful scenery and...

Sound just like this. Also in this clip at around 0:32 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOKEeqo81WM

Southwest Virginia had beautiful weather this past week, with warm, clear, star-lit nights. I tried hanging out in my yard two nights, only be be awoken periodically throughout the night by barking...

I've discovered that the wine fits in much better in a Platypus/Vapur bottle :)

Any idea how this would pack in a ULA Ohm pack along with a 20 degree quilt?

I've been looking around at all the UQ options, and the Wooki looks like it might be the ticket to go with my WB BB. I have a ULA Ohm pack - should it pack down ok in a pack this size?

Wondering if there are any lady hikers in my neck of the woods? (southwest Virginia?)

In recent years technology has emerged for treating down to make it more water resistant than it already is. We...

This book helped to explain all things hammock for me. I now recommend it to anyone who expresses an interest in hammocks. Simple, concise, and delightfully illustrated. Derek was also extremely...

I've been shopping for a top quilt and comparing a number of different ones, and noticed this note on UGQ's site. This is the first I've read about potential issues with treated down. Has anyone...

It looks great! Good job!

I have to add a 'P.S.' to this post - about five days later, one of the neighbors emailed the neighborhood at 11:40 a.m. saying he had spotted the bear (yes, we've had bear spottings earlier this...

Yes, fairly certain it was a white tail. I've seen as many as 21 at one time in the field near the house.

A few evenings ago I went out with my new, first ever hammock to try it out overnight in the yard. I found two good trees spaced the correct distance apart, the hammock went up easily, hung the head...

You may be right. I love to make things, and I already own two sewing machines. I even spliced my cord with crochet hooks and a loop turner from my sewing box. I think this could be a slippery slope!

I'm happy to announce that I'm the proud owner of my first ever hammock and tarp. Tough decisions on what to get, but a thank you to all that gave me information and advice, and to HammockForums in...

Please add me in - I just bought my first ever hammock and a gear hammock would be a lovely addition!

109769I've stayed at Rocky Knob campground in a tent, but I've also been down near the primitive campground before a number of years ago. I don't know about hammock rules/policies, but there is a...

The pack was a rental, so I've been shopping around for a pack as well. I was told that the lighter weight packs didn't hold up as well, so that's why they used the heavier ones for rentals.

I...

I'm interested in getting an EDC Hammock (gear hammock) from UK Hammocks for day hikes and have a question about suspension (see photo of the small hammock).

The hammock has a zipper and is...

Thanks everyone. I think 1.1 SL sounds the way to go.

Since I'm transitioning from a car camper to a backpacker with hammock, I've got a lot of gear to accumulate. (My recent hike on Benton...

I'm new to hammocks, so hopefully will be soon. I've been gravitating towards WW Blackbird as my first hammock, but not sure whether to go with SL or DL.

* I weight about 115 lbs, so I'm thinking...

Thanks - I'll take a look at Grand Trunk as well. Guessing any type of suspension would work ok?

I'm thinking about a simple hammock that could be carried along for a day trip hike or on a motorcycle outing that could be used for taking a break or short nap. Would like it to be able to...

Hello from the beautiful New River Valley in southwest Virginia. Recently hiked a few days on the Benton MacKaye Trail (with tent).

I'm really wanting to backpack with a hammock, and am starting...
