I've had this hang in the calendar for months now and have been really looking forward to it. Unfortunately I need to bow out. Family things have come up and I'll likely be in Oregon that weekend. I...

I use a Kelty Noah 12 with my Hammeck stand (in an A frame setup.) I save my nicer tarps for non car camping situations. Just make sure to put the tarp under the ridge pole or you can get wet.

It looks like they do have a version with tree straps, though from the pictures the straps don't look quite normal.

There's a great site you can use to track Amazon prices called camelcamelcamel.com. I'm not sure if you can specify you only want to track prime eligible products, but you can set up a notification...

No, I use a Brazilian style cotton hammock. (The hammock my first stand came with was i'm shorter Brazilian style hammock, not one twith spreader bars.) I have used gathered end hammocks in the past,...

Yes, I have two of them.

I have an 11 foot netless hammock from Dutch and a large Brazilian style hammock from Beyer's of Maine that I use to hang inside with. The Dutch netless is definitely cooler, but the cotton Brazilian...

Sounds great. My kids are 11, 9, and 8 and enjoy hiking quite a bit. It sounds like this would be a good challenge and adventure for them. :)

Like others have said, the JRB TQs are designed with this in mind. I have a 20* Sierra Sniveller with a drawstring/omnitape foot box that I've loaned out to another hanger without a UQ.

This is on my calendar as well, I'm excited about it! This will be my first group hang; how many of you will be bringing kids along?

The Vivere steel stand works well for indoor hanging, especially if you are using a Mayan or Brazilian hammock. If you have a longer camping hammock then it might not work very well. (And don't even...

I would love to attend a group hang in November. I don't have any experience with Hawn but that time of year in Missouri is nice camping.

I use the ENO indoor mounts, but you could make a similar system that will be just as good from other hardware. Be very sure you hit the studs!

I made some short WS that I use with most of my...

I would definitely recommend the longer UQ. How warm or cold you sleep is very subjective, but I notice a big difference in how well I sleep when using a full length vs 3/4 length UQ. (I know that's...

Yes, the WH and spreader bar go at the head end. I bought one normal set (foot end) and one double set (head end) and use different colored whoopie slings so I can tell them apart.

I don't have these two exact UQs, but I have a Mt Washington 3 season (20*) and a Loco Libre 0* Long Hot. It looks like George has changed his down UQ selection recently; when I ordered at the end of...

I love using the Hammeck stand. It weighs a ton, but is very stable.

Welcome from Liberty!



Both sides of the state line have great BBQ :)

That certainly works, and I did my first DIY hammock that way. The problem is if your suspension gets covered in sap or is otherwise dirty and you want to change it out then you have to take the...

Thanks for the encouragement; we appreciate it! We're already planning our Feb hang. I'm looking forward to it!

Yeah, I think it's a pretty nice tarp. Not light, but doesn't stretch too much so it's fairly easy to keep it taut. It's huge, so hanging it diagonal takes a lot of space. :-)

Last night my brother and I had our first "real" hang. Up until now I've been doing a lot of indoor hanging and hanging on the deck, but we ventured into the woods last night for the first time. I...

I really enjoy DIY, but I ordered an 11' hammock from Dutch so I could have a great model to work from. Seeing things like the knotty mods done right made a big difference, and when I made hammocks...

I have a hammock stand like the one in the top right corner of the first image of the eBay page you linked to. I use it in my room in the winter and on the back deck when the weather gets nicer. One...

Thanks for the reply TominMN! I'd never heard of the Adutchable clips before; I guess I should 't be surprised that Dutch has so many elegant solutions up his sleeve. :) I appreciate you taking the...

Ah, that makes more sense now. So the fixed eye is attached to the end loop of the tree hugger with a lark's head, and the whoopie hook attaches to the continuous loop. That's so simple! I don't know...

I just got a beautiful 11' hammock from Dutch a few weeks ago, and have been using it indoors since it arrived. Today I had a bit of time and thought I'd try hanging in the woods. (Brrr, it was...

I use a cotton Brazilian hammock in the house as well. It's amazingly comfortable, but quite heavy so I don't ever take it out of the house.

This is similar to the one I've got -...

Nice tip sidvicious! I'd never heard that before, but it makes total sense. I'll have to get a small thing of baby powder to add to my pack.

Excellent, thanks for the promo code Kyle. I've ordered way too much from you recently, but there's still a few things I could use.... ;)

I just got an email from downlinens.com (BTW, I have no connection other than being a happy customer). They are having a Cyber Monday sale with 18% off all their products, including bulk down sold by...

I found hammocks almost by accident. The kids and I bought my wife a hammock and hammock stand for mother's day this year, and I was hooked after my first nap! After reading The Ultimate Hang I had a...
