Let me say, I am grateful for the warnings!! I am a patient guy, but would be highly perturbed if someone took my money and didn't...

Thanks Bobamos! I will give that a try!

Does anyone own a MacCat tarp by OES? Feedback??

They look great, and i am considering their Deluxe or Ultra versions.

Also, can anyone explain the difference between the SilNylon and the...

Bummer! Just got home and checked and they are sold out.

Darn, I would have gotten 3 for my boys.

I would have to agree, but add at least a 12' ridgeline. I like knowing if its about to go raining on me all night, I at least want to be dry! Now with an 11' ridgeline on an 11' hammock, you got...

Welcome aboard from GA!

I too have had this same experience. Doze for a couple hours, then up for a few. I am a side sleeper, or stomach sleeper, so being on my back is a learning curve. I can say I have had a couple great...

Wow! Now I have seen it all! I would have never have thought of that!

Well, it looks like you have done well for yourself. I was going to suggest a slightly different route with a Grand trunk Skeeter Beater Pro. It was my first, and i find it really comfortable. Having...

back to your original question, yes you can sew it on your home machine. I have sewn several pairs of straps now. Its fun to do, and gives me something to work on when its cold outside. If you have a...

By the end of May, the crowds will be gone. Through hikers starting end of May would not make it in time, so they will be gone.
As for temps, we camped/Hiked at Panther Creek last year in May,...

I REALLY hate to be someone who goes back on his word, but I am just Not gonna be able to make it. I thought initially I would be ale to get there today mid afternoon. I have had so much going on...

I'm still in. I think it's only going to be Friday night (possibility of Thursday but probably Friday)for me though. I am traveling and running non stop with work. Just can't stay away another night....

Thanks to all of you for your replies! I am planning on going to the Cold Butt Hang here in N GA in a couple weeks so maybe I will have a chance to see some of these in action. I doubt any of the...

Knix,
one question for you as I am looking at George's Long Hot 20. Did you get the diagonal baffles he offers - right hand or left hand?? Very curious indeed about those.

Thanks,
SM

Thanks Sid! Do you know how high their loft is for HG? I did not see it on their site.

thanks,

Hi Guys,
I hope I'm not starting a war here....but..... I need a little help on some underquilt decisions.

I have narrowed my choices down to 3 quilts:

Hammock Gear Incubator 20
Underground...

Oh for sure! I know I will not be able to do the whole week, but probably at least a night or two. I know I would learn a lot from everybody. I'm getting a lot of stuff for Christmas (like an...

Just checking to make sure you know, but you know you can buy those already made as a sleeping bag liner. Maybe you're wanting to just have the satisfaction of making it yourself? If not, then check...

Looks Sweet. I may have to breakdown and do this myself next year.

SM

Thanks very much for this post! This is half the price of the Eno Ember, and it sounds like it is probably better. Adding this one to my Christmas list. Thanks again!

Welcome from the Atlanta area! I have been on the AT in Ga many times in April. It is usually crowded, and always rainy, so be prepared for that. Some really awesome places to see. - near Syler bald...

Welcome to the forums! I'm down In Gwinnett county myself and just did a section a few weeks ago with our scouts. Started at Tray Mountain and went in 5 miles, then back out. Thats a tough mountain,...

Welcome from a fellow scouter! I have scouts that saw me do it, and are all now asking for hammocks for Christmas. Yes, it's addictive.

Welcome aboard !

Only 2 that are mine at the moment, but I still have one table cloth, so another probably in the next few days. My first is a GT SBP, and the second is a tied end that I made from a crinkled taffeta...

20 oz. Gatorade bottle! Works wonders in winter...but that was when I was a tent camper.....now I need to see if I can do that laying down....hmmmm.

As a fairly new person to this as well, I have learned a few things over the past 5 months or so. One you just mentioned: if the trees aren't quite far enough apart, you get more of a sag than you...

I think I might should have put this in DIY forum. My apologies. Moderator please feel free to move it there.

Thanks,
SM

Well I made my first tree strap today. Last night I started digging around looking for some polypro webbing I have had for many years. I finally found the box it was in and decided to use it to make...

First thing I did when I saw that last night was check the calendar. Unfortunately I have already made plans to go deer hunting that weekend. We're camping the weekend before with Scouts, so that...

Well, I hate to admit it 2ply...Something very similar happened to me TODAY! I had a dead apple tree in the yard, not super tall, maybe 12 feet or so, but plenty big enough around to hang from. The...

I think Panther Creek is the place for you. Minimal elevation change, beautiful creek and falls. Can be crowded on the weekend though, so go on a weekday. As for Pine Mountain / FDR state park, I...

Hey Everybody. I'm new to the forum and fairly new to hanging. I am a Scoutmaster here in Snellville and first saw some kids hanging under a shelter at scout camp a year ago. It looked pretty cool,...
