I live in MS so I understand your point. I typically only use my tarp at night and I specifically got the camo version because it provides a lot more light blockage. I have a buddy with the green...

I own a HG Cuban Tarp Camo with doors and a WB Superfly. I've tried both in all kinds of weather. In thunderstorms I prefer my Cuban tarp if I'm not stealth camping in brush that may puncture it. I...
Dutch,
I admit I'm an avid fan, but you know the Atlas strap system is only popular because it's what the entry level guys produce for the masses. If you had the new Beetle/Dutch Hammock in every...
My winter weight for 10* - 30* is about 30lbs in a Catalyst with a WBB XLC and HQ TQ/UQ's. That's with 2 L and 4 days of food. So probably 21 base weight. Thinking about switching to a ZPacks Arch...
Looking forward to following along. I too do most of my backpacking in Sipsey because MS has nothing. Pinhoti is my first attempt at taking on a trail from start to finish. I hope to complete the AL...
Good luck man, I'll follow along. I did sec 12 in Dec and it was awesome. I stayed in the shelters because I've never done that before. I too want to hike the AL Pinhoti over the next year.

I'm interested in joining the band of renegades. I'm from Brandon, but my hammock is from anywhere. Thanks!
I just hiked the Eagle Rock Loop last weekend and my knee is still recovering. It's right at 30 miles if you take all the spur trails, though the main loop was 26 miles. Winding Stair is the place to...
Hey Bud,
Wish I could make your trip but I'm going on the Eagle Rock Loop 4/7 - 4/10. I wanted to pick your brain a little if you have done this loop before. We intend on night hiking a mile or less...
I have a 40* Phoenix and a 20* Incubator. Both have a generous rating. I took the Phoenix to 40 with a 35 windchill and the Incubator to 16 with a 0 windchill. The wind speed was around 10 mph on...
Yes, the sonic has a great month and nose opening.
LuvmyBonnet,
Cool name btw and I agree. . . You may want to look in to the Outdoor Research Sonic balaclava. I have tried several on the market including the O.R. Ninjaclava, Smartwool, etc but this...
Review of various Dutch Gear on my Warbonnet Superfly Tarp
Hey Guys,
I just wanted to pile on with the Dutch Love, he really should make a T-shirt that says something to that effect. Maybe...
What's the use of the vertical model? You sleep horizontal unless there is a new hammock I don't know about . . . :lol:
The main reason I would like overstuff is due to my guess that it may not work to zero or below. I don't know that to be true...yet. But if any of you have tried it please let me know. I failed to...
Let me know how the winter cover performs. I hear a lot of people say the bug net is better due to the risk of condensation. I'm purchasing a 2qzq myself, how do you like yours? I wore a puffy jacket...
I'm new too featherhead so I'm right there with you. I'm not sure if you have any Dutch bling but I have Stingerz on my Superfly Ridgeline and tarp worms on my tieout lines. It's a very quick and...

Hello, my name is Trent. I have made multiple purchases totaling over $300 this month and have only slept in a hammock two nights, ever. I feel Dutch has many more purchases coming his way from me so...
Nice trip report. I'm new to hanging and really only a year in to backpacking. My first trip was Sipsey and I have been three times so far. I'll admit my first trip 13 months ago was what a buddy of...
