We will be there. Can't wait to spend the weekend with other hikers and hangers!!! Hope to see a big turnout!
Well I went on a scouting trip this weekend and camped about 11,000 feet. It was a wonderful time. I am very glad I ordered a Phoenix 3 season, I only wish it had come in. I did use a silver...
Thanks for the help guys. I am about to pull the trigger on a Phoenix 3 season. I'm going to have a sit pad anyway, so might as well save the pack space.
I am going elk hunting in Colorado, near Pagosa Springs in early September and need an UQ. I sleep warm, very seldom get cold. The coldest I have been in the WBBB 1.7dbl is about 40 with a walmart...
I've gotta add my name to the shug cult following. I love the videos, and spam!! Although near frozen I have yet to try. Brains and liver mush must be cuisine from much farther north. I can say shug...
I think the real problem was that your flask was too small!!! Just a little more and you would have slept through anything! Seriously though, I find it more comfortable to have more insulation on my...
I did my first overnight in my wbbb dbl with a blue Wally pad and a 30* bag. Low of 48 and slept like a baby. I'm gonna make a summer uq now, the pad worked great, just a pain to carry and get...
I love it when that happens!! SWMBO laid in my new WBBB after waking up on the ground our last time out. I was already up for the day. She promptly fell asleep for about 2 hours. When she woke up she...
And the 1.0 (i) was still in my cart just now:confused: so I had to delete it. I guess the decision between the 1.0 and 1.1 dbl was made for me. I hope it gets here quick, the wait on my first one...
CRAPOLA!!! I did my order the other day and never sent it! Well that little oops cost me. Oh well, good old US of A craftsmanship again. The BBs are worth every penny IMO.
I hear you on the addiction. I got my first 1.7 dbl last month and a 1.0 dbl will be ordered tonight. I absolutely love the wbbb!
A buddy and I are doing the same thing in southern co in august. But, it's a bi purpose trip. Gonna scout the elk grounds for s couple of days. I'd love to meet up with some of y'all in the...
I just did my first overnight last weekend. Low around 48, and a blue ccf pad and 30 degree synthetic bag kept me toasty. I slept in shorts and a fleece top. I did discover the value of a head...
That looks like a great trip. I too found hammocks as a way to camp with my trusty 07 klr. Your pics make me want to get out and give it a try. I've got the hammock stuff, just haven't been out on...
You must have been spying on me cannibal, that is exactly what she said!!
I highly recommend the warbonnet blackbird. But, it's what I have, and it's my first "real" hammock.
Well I finally got to try out my new WBBB 1.7dbl. All I can say is wow! I slept like a baby. It got down to 48, but with the pad between the layers I never got cold. The best part was my wife said I...
Yeah Buddy!! It was there last night, I forgot to check the mail. I am ready to hang her up this evening hopefully. Gotta hit you tube up one more time for pointers.
I got the notice this morning, the BB has shipped! Going to have a fun night or two testing it out in the backyard this week hopefully.
Any updates Grizzly??
I'm still waiting! The little kid in me is very anxious for the shipping notification! Surely it will ship soon. It's not even been a week yet.....settle, settle , settle. That's what I have to keep...
I second the Guadalupe Mtns. It's on my to do list this year. You also get the highest spot in Texas as a bonus. There was a great write up in the December 2010 issue of Backpacker magazine. If you...
Thanks Mac! I noticed I missed that when I went back to the site to double check. :o I may have to check one of these out, seems like a good price.
Cool, thanks for the tips guys! I'll check it out.
Do you have a temp rating on your synthetic uq?
Maybe I should have asked this question myself. I just ordered a new WBBB, and just ordered the 100' mini spool of dyneema with it. I figured if Brandon sold it, it was probably what he used (I...
What is the name of the full length uq from Leigh? That's a new one on me. I too just bought a WBBB and am looking for an uq. The "inexpensive" caught my attention!
You bet. The race is on! You'll probably win though, as I live a few miles past the middle of nowhere.
That was my thinking too, but I went ahead and just ordered the hammock. I'm going to get a feel for it and then decide on a tarp. I won't need a tarp out here very often. At least for rain, a tarp...
Well I finally ordered my new WBBB 1.7 dbl and I am stoked!! Thanks to all the help and info here I think I made a wise choice. The wait and anticipation starts now. I'm like a kid on Christmas eve.
That's the same deal I got. What a good price. It took 3 months to get here, but well worth the weight. I guess I'm going to have to get my wife to teach me how to sew on some more tabs. I can't wait...
The weight was the main factor. I really like the GG tarps, I bought 2 of them. I was just thinking it may be a little overkill for the summer with such a big tarp. I'll just wait and get a new tarp...
Ok guys, I am really excited. I am about to order a new WBBB dbl 1.7. This will be my first "real" camping hammock. My dilemma is I already have a GG 12x12, but it is rather large and I have no idea...
I got my email on the 8th as well. It was like a late present to myself. I ordered 2 of them a long time ago, I forgot when they would show up. I think the 12*12 will work great for shade and storage.
Good job on the math yardman! Permethrin is a very safe insecticide (IMO), as I deal with much more potent stuff all the time. I must add that the link is only one brand of the permethrin. Anyone...
After months of trolling I decided to finally jump in. What a wealth of info yall have here. I hope to meet someone out here to show me the ropes a little. I have hung some last summer in a hammock I...
I would add that permethrin is an excellent way to ward off pests. I would not however give the $16 for a 24oz. .5% mixture of it from rei. They are a great company, but that is outrageous. You can...
