Most previous experience was with an 11' sil-nylon hex tarp from Paria Outdoors (11.4 oz). I'm now 5 nights into my 11' HG DCF Hex tarp (5.22 oz). I initially set up the DCF tarp in my back yard and...
Thanks for sharing! I agree that keeping everything together as a unit is best in that its convenient and makes it harder to forget a component while packing. Your method probably won't work with...
That's been my preferred method with my silnylon tarps and was just curious if it was good, bad, or neutral with a DCF tarp. Seems like its neutral. I'll be hanging in the backyard tonight so I plan...
Its actually funny that you mention that because the old canvass Cannondale touring panniers I use for bike-packing have an internal plastic frame that will rub against items when the panniers aren't...
Thanks, Shug! Always a good feeling when you bring the security of Sector 7 to meet people where they are.
After a good stretch of using silnylon tarps, I made the jump to an 11' Hammock Gear hex cut DCF tarp. For my main silnylon tarp set up I use an 11' Paria Outdoors hex cut tarp with a DIY Zing-It...
Welcome! Fellow Pennsylvanian here. Have fun getting lost in the forums and dialing in what works for you!
This past weekend, a buddy and I did the black loop at Bear Run Nature Reserve near Mill Run, PA. The property is owned by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and is also the home of the Frank Lloyd...
I have a Paria 11 foot hex tarp and am pretty satisfied with it. It is 11.4 oz with all of the stock guy lines and stakes. The guy lines are amsteel/ dyneema and the stakes are titanium. The hex cut...
Yes, these quilts are essentially just the Costco down throws that have been modified. However, the quality of the stitching and the overall design transcend a typical DIY project and provide value...

Between my buddy's schedule and mine, those dates wouldn't work. I've got 2 other small trips planned in April and my wife's birthday/ car camping trip with family in mid May with a bike-packing trip...
Any word on potential dates for this trip? I've only heard good things about OLP and have a ground dweller buddy who has been talking about going as well.
Welp... Just ordered the TW 40f this morning. Jared has been awesome to work with and happily answered all my questions. I'm getting this print on argon for the insulation over a flat black argon...
Did you get the standard size or the broad? I'm 5'10" / 175 lbs and slightly broad chested and shouldered. Certain clothing brands "medium" fits well until I flex or stretch and then I'm all "fat guy...
*Gets a reply from Shug, does a little happy dance!
Thank you! I was thinking that it would need some extra shock cord to keep from being too tight and compressing the down quilt. I'll have to...
These are all great stories! I've had the sleep paralysis experience where you try to scream but can only get out a Sylvester Stallone style moan. I was awakened by a purring noise above me just...
Thank you! That was a thoughtful response and has given me a few ideas how to evaluate what I think I should do.
I'm sorry if this has already been covered in this thread, but I've been eyeing up the 40 degree Trail Winder UQ and I have a few questions.
1. I'm currently using a 40ish degree synthetic UQ...
I was actually curious about the Trail Winder UQ. I was considering the 40 degree one as a stand alone but figured that it would make a lot more sense to have a down 20 degree quilt that the 40...
Hi, Frozen! Big fan of your adventures! Really appreciated your hammock set up videos by category. They were very helpful for me.
Hi! I'm originally a Butler native!
Hi! I'd like to do the Oil Creek loop. Every video I've seen looks like it's a good time.
Hi! I'm right where Penn Hills, Churchill, and Wilkinsburg all meet just off the parkway east. I've been to Raccoon a number of times and day hiked a few of the trails that make up the backpacking...
Thank you! I've done a good deal of contract trail work over the years including for the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy at Bear Run. That's a nice trail system! It may involve some ground dwelling...
Hello, everyone and thanks for the add!
I'm a long time day hiker that enjoys relaxing views but loves crushing miles. I'm also a commuter/ city cyclist that doesn't mind longer rides out to a...
