Well, not actually on the bumper but, this sort of surprised me. Someone hates hammocks so much they go buy and apply a sticker?

Hennesy? I have a couple that I used for a few years - bug net, rainfly all included: https://hennessyhammock.com/collections/hammocks
Loon, then topper, then moss, and finally Daniels. Taking a leisurely 5 day walk :)
Thanks for the vid Shug! Heading up to do the west end of the BRT on Monday - can't wait for some of that good northern air!
Or when it's covered with your spouses clothes that need mending.... :scared:
So Kayak_Medic - how's that machine working for you? I'm thinking of getting one soon. Hoping for a sale!
Worst part for me is always wanting to buy/try all the great gear I see here! :)
Just wanted to publicly thank Jellyfish for the awesome Youtube videos that cover the making of a winter tarp!
Just finished mine. Without those videos, it'd still be sitting on the bottom of my...
Awesome! I've had the same app idea in my todo list for the last 2 years (something to code in my free time - HA!) - glad to see someone else had the same idea!
I’ll take it
Any wind - maybe driving the suspension into some sort of harmonic resonance?
I’ll take it - the straps
I have one. PM me to work out details..
I'm in MN too, and I went with a 40° HG Econ and a 20° HG Econ. I was up by Finland last month and it dropped to about 10° over night - I was very warm stacking the two quilts with a 0° Wookie under...
I have an ENO Vulcan - had to stay north of the temp rating by about 20 * for my comfort. I agree with the rest - go for a UQ from the mentioned places - much better IMHO. I love my 0* Wookiee and...
Turns out I had to leave a day early - got out just ahead of the snow!
Well, I didn't make it to the Sand Dunes. I was able to plan a 2 night 3 day get away to the Crosby - Manitou State park up by Finland, but I received some sad news from home on day two (the passing...
The planets have aligned and I'm able to head to George Crosby Manitou State Park in northern MN. I'll be at campsite #8 - I have it on good authority that the trail in has been packed down very...
Perfect ! Thanks for the info lughut and bluzharp...
Thinking of 25th - 26th. Would like not to hear highway noise :) Don't mind company. I could go either way on place - if car is near, I'd bring more gear to test out, if not - I'll go with...
Anyone have any tips on what areas to hit in the Sand Dunes State Forest for a quick overnighter ?
Jellyfish -
Thanks so much for this and all your videos! I've had a winter tarp kit that I've been meaning to sew up, but after working with a top quilt and under quilt kit, I was a little put...
I have a swiss military poncho (link) that I've used for years. I like it because I can leave the front open if it's just a light drizzle or cinch it all the way up if it's a heavy rain. It also...
For some time now, while not on active duty, my WB under quilts have been cohabiting with my HG top quilts. A recent score at the second hand store has seen the last of this nonsense! Picked up a...
I like a good 4 -5 day hike sticking to around 6 - 8 miles per day. Day 3 and day 4 seem to be my favorite - as I've adjusted to the environment and the memories of "civilization" have blurred. ...
No all of us are supporters. :) I'd guess it's easier to say a gram than 0.035 oz ?
Glad to hear all the ballyhoo is true! Someday I hope to compare as contrast cottage vendor hammocks!!!
As to other points, Super-Dominance Argument subscriber I assume ? ;)
Thanks roogles... This whole effort got me thinking: maybe I should create a hiking packing app. Something where I can track all my gear (cost, specs, storage location etc), and do virtual packing...
Right on! Didn't think about giving it to someone who'll really enjoy a freebie! Thanks Shug!

I went through EVRYTHING and got it all organized! I’m ready to start planning the first multinight hike of the year!
Feels kinda good to get it all organized. Probably have a few...
Agree completely on these two points. I took my wooki out last may on the SHT - lows were in the 35*F - 24*F range that week. I had zero problems being too warm on the bottom. I have two other UQ...
I think you made a great choice. I too started with the eno pro setup and an eno UQ. Once I got my WBBB XL and a wooki, fiddle factor went away, I was more comfortable and was toasty warm all...
Dang! I'd love to hit Alton, but the schedule is booked up on those days. :(:(
Looked at it longingly. Opened a box from WB, got a new lynx and undercover. Looked back to the hammock and sighed deeply - it's a prefect temp to test the 20 degree lynx out in the back yard,...
Great review! I just saw a popup Klymit stand at my local Costco. I didn't notice if they were selling this pad, but next time I'm there, I'll check and report back.
Nice work - reminds me that I too have a list of projects including a ridgeline organizer. Do you plan on adding the organizer to the ridgeline permanently or clipping it on with hardware? I think...
Ha - same progression here. Switched to OSX when they started using intel chips - I could boot windows, osx and linux - no more lugging 3 laptops around as I went from house to house and client to...
Congrats! Love the blackbird - it's been my main hammock for the past couple of years.
Good points - at 225lbs, I figured I'd stick with the stock bars - if I need to "save weight" I should probably drop a a few lbs before the next major trek!
Thanks for the info!
Does shortening the suspension triangle have any effect on the stability or lay of the hammock. I can see the advantage (doors close more), but wonder if load/stability is compromised...
Couldn't agree more! Love my 0 degree Wookie - set it and forget it! I loved mine so much I now waiting for a 20 degree lynx for my RR setup (should be here tomorrow!) Warbonnet is quickly...
as mentioned before I did a Finland to beaver bay in late sept of 2016 (I believe it was the 23 - 27th) , and last year I did May trip (first week of may) starting at Castle Danger. No bugs at all...
oldie but goodie! Thanks for the review Shug!
Hi all -
Wondering if anyone has any experience with the WarBonnet Under cover/Poncho for the Ridgerunner. I recently purchased one after watching Shug's review, but was wondering if anyone has...
I parked at beaver bay and took a shuttle to Finland (approx. 30 miles I think) in the fall of 2016. I completed in 3 days and really enjoyed the scenery and the challenge.
Great vid Shug - Sold me, just got my thunder fly in the mail the other day. Been too busy shoveling all this recent snow to get out there and test it out with my RR. You use special stakes in the...
Any more details? Is it like this: http://www.swanndri.co.nz/bushshirts/SSD0103/Swanndri-Men's-Original-Wool-Bushshirt-with-Lace-up-front.html
Love the wool - first time hearing of this shirt....
Just bought my second econ - have a 40* and a 20* coming soon. I'd gladly carry a few more ounces and save $$. Plus it makes the budget goalie happy too! :) After all, it's getting out there that...
Oh crap - I knew I shouldn't have read this thread - No I'm jonesing to get off my singer 301! Sounds like a great purchase! Enjoy!
I was just trying to decide the same thing - I'm looking at the Warbonnet Lynx for my Ridgerunner. No kidding - I made my mind up about 10 minutes ago to go with the full length. Reasons: I'll...
