Hello. Queen of Cold Feet here. It has taken me a while to dial in a mechanism that works for me, but work it does. I use down booties, along with socks. I bought these from feathered friends:...

It's been a few months since I've logged on HF, then to read this! Wow, I'm so sorry you had to go through a hospitalization with COVID, George. That's scary. Glad you are home and feeling better! ...
Great, pics, thanks for sharing! I live in the Northeast of the US and I would never not hang a tarp lol. Kind of wild you don't need one! How low did the temps get overnight?

Do you have any pics of this?
I purchased the Warbonnet Blackbird XLC hammock in November of 2020 and the 20 degree Wooki underquilt with 1oz of overfill in July of 2020 and have only used it two nights. Nothing is wrong with...
This 0 degree EE Revolt custom UQ was used 2 times. Smoke free home. Specs listed below. Comes with stuff sack and 2 mini carabiners. Free shipping in the US. Venmo or PP. If using PP, please add 3%...
I don't have a Wooki that matches my blackbird... I specifically bought a new wooki to fit a Blackbird XL (or in my case, a chameleon)... it is an 11ft Wooki that I have.
Ok so I'll put some...
Hi all. I started out my hammock camping journey with a Warbonnet Blackbird (10’) and a Wooki. I LOVED the ease of the Wooki and no messing around with the setup.
I ended up winning a Chameleon...
I'm looking to build a 20* custom wooki XLC and the price difference between the 850 and 950 fill is significant ($63) if I get no overfill. If I get 1oz of overfill, which I'm inclined to do, it's a...
This was my 3rd MAHHA, my partner and friend’s 2nd, and we are really starting to recognize people and getting to know people better, which is fun. It was cool to meet new people too! Thanks to all...
Wow, I haven't been on here in weeks and my friend had signed me up, telling me to come and check out all of the vendors. Incredible! I can't wait.
Also - will anyone be arriving Thursday night,...
My second ever MAHHA was a great time - better weather than last year, and I brought my partner and my friend along for their first one. They loved it so much that they are both coming for the Fall...
Congrats on both of your winnings! You made out awesome!
I've read on here that the wooki fits the chamelon just fine. This past weekend, at Spring MAHHA, I tried to put my Wooki (which I use on my WBB, not an XLC) on my friend's Chameleon, and we realized...
I'm a second vote for doors. I have 2 tarps (a superfly and a winter palace), both with doors. Even in the warmer weather, I like that the doors can block the rain or give me more privacy.
Might be a stupid question, but will you be offering custom print? Where the customer can take a picture, send it to you, and that's what you make the product out of?
I play roller derby and as...
I just signed up. Woohoo!!!! Last year I was only able to stay for 1 night - this year, a full weekend, plus my friend and partner are gonna be there. Looking forward to it!
I leave my boots and pack on a piece of Tyvek under my hammock... after reading this thread I might be changing that up a bit lol.
Awesome! I live in Washington County and have done the entire AT in Maryland... it's so close to my house that I should try to get out there more. I believe I belong to a Trail Dames group but I...
It's also our anniversary celebration weekend so that's another factor - if we don't hit it at the right time and we are miserable from these black flies, it would be not just a miserable...
I had never heard of this before, just did some research. Thanks for the recommendation. I had been looking at an ex officio bug shirt for a year but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet because of...
Thanks for the recommendation. Here is a decent trip report - is this the same loop that you've done? He doesn't say how many miles:...
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
I went home last night and did some more digging and read additional trip reports that also indicated that the black flies are horrendous. We have decided to...
Thanks everyone for your input... as I suspected, about 1/2 of the group does one over the other lol.
You're right, it is about shaving weight, and my CF tarp is going to weigh less than my...
Thanks for the video... I think I might have seen that before. I manage my doors the same exact way right now on my superfly.
I've been doing some research to try to find a loop trail in the Adirondacks that my partner and I could take memorial day weekend. I've been to the Adirondack Mountain Club's website and was going...
Welcome from Hagerstown, MD. There's lots of local hangs around where we are, so keep your eye out. Great place to meet people and gather info!
So in your opinion, if one already had a Wooki (only UQ they owned) and they were considering getting a Chameleon but did not want to purchase an additional UQ, would the Wooki suffice as their only...
My partner recently bought me an awesome Valentine's Day/Anniversary gift - a Winter Palace CF tarp. I'm pretty stoked, and in awaiting for it's arrival, I've been thinking how I want to set it up....
Me too! I was so bummed I couldn't go. Then maybe we could schedule a backpacking weekend for the summer?
Same with me! When we car camp she wants to sleep together... and I mean, so do I, and it is a really decent queen size air mattress, BUT STILL, I'd rather be in my hammock :D
I went to my first (and only) group hang Spring 2017 (by myself) and met a ton of wonderful people who made me feel welcome. For those of you who are on the fence about going, I highly recommend it! ...
So, I ended up getting 2... and since I did not get one as a gift for my birthday/anniversary, I had to purchase them myself, which I just did in July.
For my 3 season/cold weather quilt, I got a...
Back in February I asked if people put their guylines on their stakes or on the tarp. If you want to check out the thread here, it's full of useful info from the people who put their guylines...
I JUST bought myself my first ever TQ about two weeks ago - I'm also a side sleeper, and I had similar concerns. When I measured, the smallest width was still way over the recommended 6" above what...
Hey guys. I just listened and heard in the beginning that you'll be at HangCon in January... I'm new to the community and have never heard of HangCon, but having a reason to go to Florida in January...
So bummed to miss this. Hopefully I'll get to see some of you in October!
Really great job!
Just want to thank everyone again for your advice and insight. I went ahead today and purchased a 10* Ghost Pepper to go along with the 40* Econ Burrow I purchased last week. I'm pretty stoked!
Back over Memorial Day weekend I was in Shenandoah NP and a thru-hiker came up to me in the campground because he saw my Superfly and WBB setup and wanted to ask me questions. He was also using a...
When I was researching this subject not too long ago myself, I found this video really useful for different tie-out options: ...
Thanks all for the thoughts. Even though I wear clean clothes to bed, I have worn them around the fire and I don't want my stuff smelling like fire. Easy solution for that is to just wait to get...
Renegade, Bandit, Ghost Pepper, Burrow... Gahhh!
I'm making a purchase (any day now!) of my first top quilt, switching from a sleeping bag. I was curious, do any of you use sleeping bag liners with your top quilts to keep them fresher on the trail?...
Thanks to all for this discussion... it's really given me a lot to think about. I decided, with the sales going on right now, that I am going to go ahead and get 2 TQ's... An Econ Burrow 40 as my...
Thanks everyone for your insights and thoughts and opinions! I really do appreciate it. I know some of these are subtle differences. I've also emailed some of the companies as well, to get their...
We're heading up to Vermont to stay for a long weekend on a Friday morning but can't get into the cabin until Saturday... was thinking maybe overnight camping/hanging on Friday night instead of...
Makes sense, thanks!
Yea I had seen that video! Just wasn't sure if anyone had real life experience with it.
