Agreed. For me sleep is too important to sacrifice for weight. But I no longer need to be concerned with weight. When this was sent to me I was thinking that they would not hit their weight target....
For me this would be too small too. I don't have to watch my weight when camping. But if I did I might learn to accept a smaller hammock as light weight requires some sacrifice. Although, sleep is...
I'm reminded of my very first hammock purchase, a Grand Trunk Ultralight, in 2011. In retrospect, the title is a bit ironic because they took a 9' lightweight hammock and added heavy rope and about...
Yes it should. Especially since it isn't a large wad of cash to try it out. 3.2 oz? Wow, now that is light!!!
Yep, 6 in. shorter than the ENO but 6 in wider. For me the extra width is worth the lost length since it is just a 6in loss. Plus, half the price works for me. 5.75 oz. requires some give and take...
Made a video reviewing the new extremely lightweight hammock from Etrol Professional Outdoors Brand.

We have one every year.. Had a lot of newbies this year. You missed a great hang. See you next year. just keep an eye open here for information on it.
Ooooo! I do a lot of that nap testing stuff.....
Pillows are a personal preference. My wife can go without one while I need some sort of support. She does use one but it is a very small stuffed pillow and is not deflectable while I use an...
We are except the food.
Welcome to the forum. SoCal you say. We have a group hang in a couple weeks. If you would like to attend feel free to contact Addam for more information by posting in the thread. ...

It would appear that this will not be happening as Adam was fortunate to find someone that is going to take over the raffle this year. So looks like we are back to the original fund raiser raffle....

More love and less hate in the world....
I responded a while back but that lamp seems out of stock these days. It haw been replaced with this one. $3.99 and Wally World has the same thing for under $2.00. Works great and has a nice hook to...
Exactly, it is so easy to just accept it and enjoy the hang... The ranger is only doing what the rules call for.
The hang is suppose to be in early April this year. Here is the FB group site. All are welcome to attend. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1703112183238178/
I have often thought this too. Every time I hear of some camp site official accepting sleeves as well as some parts of the country wanting 2" straps that will accept sleeves. But if they will accept...
They actually came with another hammock I got to review that had ropes. Tossed the ropes and kept the sleeve. Here is a set of sleeves as well as a hammock with sleeves. I am not sure the size of the...
Mine are 1" but I have 2" sleeves if needed.
It is well built for a product sold at twice the price. Not that I would pay that much for it. It is a great addition for those quick UQ hangs like hanging in the yard or a day hang out and about. It...
I did the original video on this last year. Now that I have had it for a year I thought it might be good to revisit it.

Now THAT is how one should wake up... And that is your back yard... You are lucky indeed.
Head on over to vipon.com and search tarp. Sometimes they have fairly nice tarps for around $15 to $20. It is a coupon/promotion code site for Amazon. I picked up 3 tarps recently for under $20 each....
Not getting enough time for more trips...
Very nice. Inexpensive and effective.
Gee, sorry that you had an issue with your Equip. Did you do the ridgeline mod? If so did you play with the length? Dutch's hammock is definitely the better of the two though so it was no real loss...
I recently did a video review on a hammock that was fairly nice out of the bag. But adding a ridgeline made it a very nice and serviceable hammock. And... it was available at vipon for $17.50. It is...
Great! Do be sure to share how yours turned out... Glad my videos helped..
Yep, this is a great place to take her. There are both men and women there. My wife loves this event. Great group of people that will certainly become friends. This event will be in April. And...
Gee, nice to see that my video has helped some of you. I use this procedure to modify many different hammocks. My personal "go to" hammock is my Equip. It is 10ft long and this mod took it from a "so...
If you are going with a Fronkey style have a look at this one I did a video on recently. It is great buy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk8SoH7Cv8wand priced very reasonable
Head right feet left.
Happy to help out. Thanks for the compliment.
Looking forward to it... Hope the medical issues work themselves out.
Just did a review on the Unigear bug net. This is really a great item and is priced under $30.

This is an inexpensive underquilt that I picked up last year. I did not need it but for the price wanted to see what it had to offer. Not perfect but did the job down to low 40s and high 30s for me....
Yep, and this one has been there for a while. Some items go fast others stick around. It changes every hour sometimes. That bug net I referred to earlier was $5 and change delivered. I actually...
Before you buy one from Amazon go to vipon.com and search bug net or hammocks. Vipon is a promo code site that gets you great discounts at Amazon. I purchased a great bug net for under $10....
Welcome to SoCal. Try joining the SoCal Hangers group on FB. We have an annual event around St. Pats day. We would love having you along... https://www.facebook.com/groups/1703112183238178/
I've used the Prusik on my tarp up at the tarp. I made a Prusik with the ends open. Ran one end through the tie out and knotted it to the other end. Then just looped the end of the cord to the stake...
I just tie the one lace from each shoe in a bow and drape them over the end of the hammock suspension.
Here is one that I picked up. It is $27.99 on Amazon and I am totally impressed with the quality. I actually picked it up through a vipon.com coupon code for $7.67. Always check vipon before any...
WHat a great and inexpensive idea!!! Thanks for sharing.
Well I just received a lower price on that underquilt that I posted earlier. How does $28.25 sound? Here is a link to it. https://www.ebay.com/i/162329379121?ul_noapp=true
Here is one for $31.64 with free shipping. I purchased one as a spare last year for under $28 and am very pleased with it. I generally use a SnugPak but have used this from time to time. It is a 3...
I use one of these from Harbor Freight. They hang perfectly on the ridgeline and best of all, they are free with purchase. Most of the time...
