My opinion is that the best budget quilts in the market are Hammock Gear’s quilts WHEN they are running their 25% or 30% sales, which is often. Probably more expensive than what you want to spend but...

Hi Joe uk,
I picked up a Luxury bridge from Bill at Townsend hammocks within the last couple of months and have been using it indoors every night for over a month. Prior to that I was sleeping...
Thanks all. I will keep an eye out for Spiguyver’s review. Probably after watching his review I, like Karla with a K, will want one too!

Anyone have one of these and can speak to the comfort of the hammock and how it lives up to the claims on the website?
The website notes that one of the features of the hammock is the "relaxed...
Anyone use the Arrowhead Equipment New River Underquilt on the Luxury or Big Guy Bridge? And if so, which length (regular or long)? I am not sure of the exact specs on the AHE New River, but it is...
I stayed in the backpacker’s campground behind the north pines car camping campground in September. I walked through the north pines campground to access it via a short trail. I got there early in...
Sounds like an awesome trip. I would love to get my kids out there to do something similar in the next few years. When I was there in September, the host at the backpacker's campground asked that I...
I use an 11 foot Warbonnet Thunderfly with my Ridgerunner with no issues. You won't have full coverage, as the 11 foot tarp is not long enough to allow the doors to fully close. This has not been...
I'll take the AHE White Cloud for $80.
Yes you need a permit now but they are free. Easy to get for a week day but weekends are always sold out. Better during the week with less people out there anyways...
First time out in the backcountry (Shenandoah National Park) hammock camping with my nine year old. Found a spot to hang side by side, with 2 tarps rigged together to give us lots of coverage. It...
Bringing back this old thread to check in and see if anyone has experienced any issues with the Tarp Ticks sharp feeling edges? I was hesistant to leave them attached to my tarp as I felt like they...
I saw mosquitos most every day while I was out there, but only in the evening when I was eating dinner and going to sleep. I would see them sitting on the outside of my bug net as if they were...
Haha. I took 15 foot long beckett straps that Warbonnet sells. I had heard that some of the trees out there are HUGE, and that was true. That tree was one of them! However, this was honestly the...
I think you are in for a tough start no matter which direction you go. Starting in Yosemite my strategy was to hike a short day of only 6 miles for the first day and set up camp early. From there I...
In September 2023 I completed the John Muir Trail SOBO from Happy Isles in Yosemite Valley to Mount Whitney. Roughly 250 miles including some side trips and resupply trips, etc. I was lucky and had...
I recommend trying both out bridges and gathered ends, that is what I did. And hanging at home is a great way to try out different types of hammocks before you take them out in the field. I put up...
I like these from Nama gear to protect the tarp as well as the dogbones:

Thank you everyone!
Hi all. Newbie question on the Ridgerunner. What is the function of the little adjustor pictured here, on the head end of the hammock?
Thanks in advance.

Anyone ever try stacking 2 Ridgerunner hammocks one on top of the other in order to share one large tarp when backpacking?
Looking for a solution for backpacking with my young son who prefers to...
