Thanks so much everyone! Studs definitely the way to go. Feeling pretty comfy! But I may see a productivity loss [emoji854]

You were right. The stud finder had a tough time with the paneling and grooves, but we got it figured out eventually :)

We found the studs, and I checked the hang height with the calculator...so far so good......

I practiced a ton. I still have a hard time sleeping in a hammock (sacrilegious, I know). Glad I practiced though. Did a lot of it solo so I needed a lot of time to eff up safely ;)

Hi everyone,

I know someone just posted about indoor hanging but I have a specific hardware question.

I have the long wall brackets with the slider ring from dutchware. If they came with screws...

I will be trying the 2qzq protector for the first time this weekend. Weather is supposed to be rainy and windy all night tonight, and then windy and frigid the second night. So I think if it helps,...

I am doing a trip this weekend near Augusta, GA and it's supposed to be rather windy, so I just ordered a uqp (that overnight shipping hurt my soul...ugh). The only time I've ever been cold, with my...

Well, thanks so much for all the information and, everyone. Unfortunately my bf decided he doesn't actually want to go camping anymore, so I guess this is on hold for now. But I'm going to upgrade...

Hey all, my boyfriend is not outdoorsy at all but has finally said he'll try camping with me in November. I am a hammocker of course but all my hammocks are way too short/narrow for him.

Can...

Thanks all! I had awful phone service out there. To add some specifics, I have a ugq penny pincher tarp with doors and snaps. This is the first time I've ever had an issue and it seems to rain or...

Hey all, I'm out in the Roan Highlands and last night had to hang in a shelter at 1am because my uq was getting splashed by rain and wind from a super strong thunderstorm. How can I pitch to avoid...

Hi, I started with ENO and don't really like them now that I know more about other options. You might think about a Raven or free bird from dream hammock. Customisable fabric means you can go really...

The difference is the gear, jackets, socks, book, etc, stuffed into the pockets.

Sure. I guiltily got myself a new setup for black Friday, and part of that was from the Clark flash sale, so I will have some pockets under my hammock. I'll be trying to put everything together for a...

I use a quilt even in summer because I am always cold. I am wondering about the physics of insulation though-- I was warm enough at close to freezing with a 20* UQ and a 15* sleeping bag and pad, but...

Hey friends! I recently spent a couple of nights in a Clark hammock with pockets, while also using a foam pad and an underquilt. My expert camping companion said that stuffing the pockets would help...

I'm also in the process of figuring out my next move after having a DN for a while. Will be reading with interest.

Thank you! I am going for an overnight on Saturday and I'll bring some shock cord and play with it. Luckily I just got some from Amazon.

My ridgeline is pretty low, it's a double but it's apparently only 9.3 ft long, which explains that. I'm working towards a better hammock, but for now I need to jerry-rig this one. I'm going out...

It hangs a little low when I do that, and I'm trying to give myself more space than I have with the sock so I don't wake up and panic, fall out of the hammock, get tangled up, scare away all the...

Hey all,

I got a Yukon Outfitters bug net (http:// www.amazon.com/Yukon-Outfitters-NoFlyZone-Hammock-Black/dp/B00PWVUK84/) while I was waiting for one from Dream Hammock, and I've ended up...

Will do! I have a HG 20° quilt which has always worked wonderfully. Got the trail guidebook and a giant map as someone thoughtfully recommended. I actually have a friend from Portland joining me now,...

I'm coming from the GA lowcountry, which is a horrible sweltering swamp that time of year. Anything will be an improvement and I'm actually wondering if I will need to bring a UQ because the weather...

Thank you all so much! Awesome photos, Rain Man. The ranger I spoke to at the park recommended staying on the NC side because of some trail closures from the fire on the TN side. This weekend I will...

Hey folks,

I'm planning a solo 3-night trip to the SE side of the smokies in early-mid august, and I'm sort of flying in blind. I have looked at maps and there are obviously tons of options, but...

Hey all,

Has anyone here done a Long Trail thru-hike with a hammock? I am thinking about it for next summer.

I'd be overjoyed to get to 50 in the summer. Here it's more likely to be lows in the 70's-- knowing that I sleep cold, I think I will probably still need some layer, but likely minimal until it...

It is slightly cheaper too. Hmm...

Basically I'm looking for a thermostat for the hammock. I know it's sort of ridiculous to ask :P I live in coastal GA but nonetheless am worried about getting cold in the few cooler hours at night. I...

Thank you for this! I was wondering if there was such a thing as a non-insulated blanket with UQ suspension-- and you just answered that question. I have no doubt it'll be some trial and error. Going...

Ah, too bad. The other one I was considering is this guy: (http://www.snugpak.com/outdoor/hammock-under-blanket )Snugpak underblanket, but I can't really see if there are venting shock cords.

Thanks all, I'm a DIY nightmare, so I will look into Jarbridge-- I think even the 1 season might be more than I need, so I'd be curious to get a price from someone who could make a CS 2.5 (which is...

Great, thank you!

Hi HammockForums!

I'm new to hammocking, and live in a climate where it gets hot and humid in summer. That said, I am a cold sleeper, so I am looking for a light possibly synthetic UQ that won't...

I am pretty new to hammock camping but I have a friend who wants to do it with her dog. I suggested a basic hammock and tarp, and she liked the idea of one of those bug nets with a floor. So far I am...

I just heard of them! Found the ladies feature on hyoh podcast :) I will definitely reach out.

Eno definitely seems like the gateway drug of hammocks. I actually started with a single size one...

I have one on the way from Dream Hammock that is the right length. Unfortunately my bug sock is in queue with all the other hammocks and they seem to have a month or more production time right now,...

I went out this Saturday night -finally had some company, friends who are intrigued by the hammock idea. I did do the feet side a bit higher, but I'm not sure I had the hang angle or ridgeline quite...

I have yet to be fully comfortable in a hammock overnight. Upper back and neck curvature seems too be too much, but I'm hoping that is just a setup tweak that I need to figure out.

I am a couple...

I just started hammock camping and am persistently going by myself. My bf is the opposite of outdoorsy, and I have a foot issues that means I am not a long distance hiker at the moment. So far I've...

Hey there, thank you for all this info! I have an adjustable ridgeline set up but I think I had it too short last time. I used to be a field archaeologist so you'd think I'd be happy to measure...

Thank you-- I am going out this weekend and will try this. I'm only 5'3" so I have to stand on things to get the suspension high enough sometimes, but there is usually something around I can drag...

I don't carry hiking poles currently so they're not a tool I have readily available. I am not above finding a stump or log to stand on though. That's what I did for the setup pictured above and it...

I have seen those. Unfortunately I'm on a budget so I'm not sure that's in the cards for me. I probably just need to do more math or something :/

I'm 5'3" -- I have issues hanging at a reasonable height if the trees aren't close :P

Was definitely not aware of the uneven hang idea. I'll try it out next time I set up. Thank you! Love your videos, the underquilt adjustment one was so helpful.

ENO says it's 112", so you're right, it is too short. Weirdly it felt like it was too long. I originally made the ridgeline for a singlenest and assumed they were the same length. One of these days...

Hey all,

I'm relatively new to the hammock camping game, but I practice setting up in the park regularly. Just did my first overnight (with a backup tent in case I really couldn't handle it) and...

Thanks for the welcome! I went to Cloudland Canyon last summer, not too far from Marietta. Didn't make it all the way around the canyon due to my feet, but I was by myself so luckily there was no one...

I am looking for a budget underquilt. Thank you for posting this! I can see why it might be tricky to get diagonal with this given the shape. I will need this for only 3-4mo/year, since I live in a...
