Thanks for posting on Hammock Forums. I'm hoping to be able to attend. Had alot of fun at past winter hangs!
Thanks Cindy and Elliott for hosting the Pumkin Hang again. It was great to see everyone! The pot luck dinner was so good!

Had a great time. It was good to see everyone again and meet new hangers. Thanks Tim and Curleymaple42! Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Rick and Margret for hosting the Cast Iron Hang. It was great to see everyone again!
I have a double layer ridge runner. Sometimes I use an under quilt and sometimes use an air mattress. I really like having the option to use either. I mostly use the air mattress on warm summer days...
The TENSA 4 fits in the bottom of my saddle bag leaving enough room to put my helinox sunset chair. The tarp extensions are a must.

I hope this link works. Hit the link and it should bring you to Google maps. Google maps will direct you from Rte 93 right to the hang.

I use the Nite Eyes “Figure 9 Tent Line Kit” to guy out the tarp.
I’ve been using them for years and they do the job. They come with the guy lines, (Reflective).
I use the larger Nite Eyes...
Thank you Cindy and Eliot! Looking forward to it!
I had the same problem with both my ridge runner and gathered end hammocks . Pretty much the same conditions, (20° quilts in lower 40° temps). While standing and socializing around the camp fire for...
what are the low temperatures where you will be hanging.
I place a nemo pillow under my thighs, (not under the knees).
This not only gives support under the thigh but also takes up
some of the hammock's fabric allowing for more support under
the...
The superfly is a tough little tarp. It would take a long long time for the poles to wear thru the superfly tarp material. I made a really bad mistake two years ago when I set my superfly tarp over...
The length of your ridge pole should be calculated using the Ultimate Hammock Hang Calculator. You will find it here: https://theultimatehang.com/hammock-hang-calculator/
Here is a tip. I use a...
It's a little expensive but it's the most comfortable pillow I've ever had. Ive been using the Nemo Filo inflatable pillow for years. It is the perfect size to lay your head on in a hammock. When it...
I own a WWBB XLC and experienced the same discomfort with pressure against my ankles. If you placed additional material under your feet that would make the condition worse. If you sleep on your back...
If you sleep on your back and are experiencing either calf ridge or hyper extension at the ankle try placing a jacket or backpack pillow, (3” to 4” thick) under your thighs just above the knees. It...
The WBBB XLC has a ribbon on the right side of the hammock between the shelf and foot box. Match the ribbon up with your quilt, (when it is set right). Sew a piece of ribbon on your quilt at this...
I've been using turtle ties to hang my Dutch netless for almost a year. They are so easy to use.
I’ll give this tarp setup a try but will probably continue to hang the tarp separate. HYOH!
I use an 11’ Dutch netless with my Tensa 4 stand. It took a while to get the setup right for me. Once it was dialed in I made a dog bone for the bottom spread of the stand, (71" lg.). I use a...
The WBRR, (double layer) is the most comfortable hammock that I own, especially when used with an insulated air mat, (exped synmat inflated half way).
Gave it another shot. I just set my hammock and superfly tarp using the tarp extenders and it works. Did not use any extra tie downs, it just works. Very happy now. Thanks again!
Thanks Village lock and Brutalguyracing. I'll give it another shot.
I own a Tensa 4. I've tried to set up my rig with a warbonnet superfly using the tarp extenders. I want the tarp higher over the hammock. I could not get it to work. Pretty much gave up on it and...
For my WBRR I use the polyester webbing, (with carabiners) and cinch buckles that were supplied with the hammock.
For my gathered end hammock I use 6 ft. polyester tree straps, (with carabiners),...
Hello John
I own a WBRR and can always count on it to give me a good sleep. I switch between the WBRR and a gathered end hammock. I’ve dialed in both hammocks. I use either one in the trees and...
I agree on that Shug! More work to making videos than one would think, unless you've done it yourself.
Finally found time to upload.

This Saturday looks to be a mostly sunny day. I might cook up a black pot over a fire in the back yard and post a picture of it. Will miss you all.
Count me out. Two people I worked with had family members die a couple of weeks ago.
Rick I agree with your decision to cancel. I will look forward to the day when we can all get together again.
I been hopeful that you would host this hang again. Looking forward to another Cast Iron Hang. Thanks Rick!
I bought a pair of turtle ties back in November. I attached them to the continuous loops on the hammock and they stay put. They work great between trees combined with tree huggers, (I use a larks...
Will miss seeing you Grey Eagle. See you In Ashby.
Fried tater tots and fried pickles! Yum!
Does the low back quilt fit the Helinox Chair One XL?
I don’t use a top cover on my hammock. I like the feel of cold air on my face while sleeping, (sometimes I use a bug net). To capture condensation I use a heavy wool loose weave scarf. When I sleep...
Enjoyed the podcast. Great job Chris! Looking forward
Stayed warm at -7° using the entire system on my deck with two closed cell pads underneath. Napped off and on for 3 hours. Condensation from breathing got the best of me and I retreated to the house....
I have been using a NEMO Fillo backpacking pillow. I’ve use it almost every day for the past four years in my hammock and as a couch pillow. It's inflatable and washable. A little pricey but it has...
Thank you, Elliott and Cindy, for making this hang possible. Thanks to everyone for all the laughs and the really good food. It was a great pleasure to wake up and look out at the fall colors thru...
It was great to see everyone. DAR State Forest is a very beautiful area.
Thanks Stacey
I've been using a Dutch ware summer sock xlc over a Warbonnet Travler xlc. I stuff it in the bag with the hammock, (it fits). It is easy to slide on or off while in the hammock. It allows me three...
Go to the organized hangs and check out all of the setups. Try the demos. Ask questions. People really like to talk about their best gear and let you know what didn't work. The best part is you will...
Thanks for posting this.
The length of the ridgeline and the height differential between the head and foot end of the hammock are the best ways to achieve control for a consistent hang. Considering 100 Ton's success posted...
Surrounded by stars.
Suspended above the earth.
