I just got an email from the folks at HG after submitting my latest review and it appears I was either missed or an auto spam filter prevented me from getting their email they sent out...
Maybe I got a fluke, but I've been disappointed with my Journey II. I've made a couple of attempts to leave a review on the website that I'm guessing never get approved because they're not 4 or 5...
Thanks Guys, I'll check those out.
That sounds great. He's a big fan of canoe camping. #NoWalking #LazyPre-Teens
Are there hiking trails as well as the forest roads? I'll check it out. Thanks!
I put this in the South East sub forum as well since I'm open to those locations as well. If this isn't ok, please delete one.
Good Day all! It's been a while since I've posted on these forums,...
Good Day all! It's been a while since I've posted on these forums, but couldn't think of a better place to get trip ideas. My family is currently in the process of packing up our house and moving...
Tarp only goes up first in wet weather. Other wise hammock first. If nice weather, the tarp sometimes doesn't even get strung up. If questionable or really cold, I'll put it up after the hammock and...
Zaleski is a great first trip location. Privies and potable water at camp sites. It's my go to for taking first timers, wives and kids.
Beautiful pictures! It's great when we're treated to a photographer also being a camper :D I especially love your fire shot. Mind sharing settings or just tips on shooting a fire like that? I'm not...
If cars, motorcycles and flood lights are keeping you awake, I don't think nature is your problem. Sounds like your solution :D
The first step is to verify the policy. It's a simple call to your college administration to get going down the path to the right person who can tell you. When you get someone who tells you there is...
This $12 sleeping pad and my Kelty Cosmic 20° has taken me down to 25° and I've stayed toasty. Now, I also had a light packable down jacket on and a proper base layer, but it worked. I've been lucky...
This. Definitely something that requires practice. I know I struggle with with just sitting and shutting off.
The idea of a trail journal is something I'd like to start doing. I'm pretty new...
Jenny Craigers?
The best online glossary for any hobby you'll ever come across is Google. Seriously, not trying to be condescending, but just type the word you don't know into google. You'll find more blogs,...
I too have a KIA Soul and unless you are 2' tall, I don't think it's gonna work, but I'd love to see you prove me wrong so I can cop you :D
Would love to see you in Ohio sometime!
Uh.... (18) Tents and other shelters, sleeping bags, sleeping pads,
mattresses, cots, hammocks, bivy sacks, or stoves;
What with those giant wheels sticking out? Someone needs to design a completely foldable setup :p
Seriously though, awesome build 133451
Same. Put kids to bed, pour a beer, turn on TV and play with rope.
Ha. Hammocking in the XGames, 2020. :D At least you know your supports are rock solid! That first trick is how those guys climb hammocks when doing the massive bunk setups, in case anyone didn't...
That room looks awesome. I planned on doing something similar with my son's room with a loft bed, hammock underneath and a rock wall on the one side to get into the loft bed. A drawing is as far as I...
You folks adjusting your ridgeline to get rid of calf ridge, I assume you're shortening? An inch a time maybe or half inch increments?
I have to imagine the zip tie is there to make it easier on you to thread your own CL or whoopie through the channel. Not to be used.
I have 5 generic camping hammocks. The 2 I started in and the 3 others I picked up for the wife and kids that they've yet to use. I plan on at least one more, a Dutch 11'er. I need to go down the UQ...
My birthday is in 2 months. I'll PM you my address. :D
I'm still using an Eno style hammock, so my wallet phone and knife stay in that little pouch off the side. Larks head the headlamp over the ridgeline. That's all I store with me.
My whoopies are threaded through my end channels and then larks headed. It doesn't affect adjustability.
Cut cable tie, thread whoopie through end channel, larks head adjustable loop through non...
You bought it at a local store. Why can't you just return it?
I've come to learn my large step is 3'. Worked for me.
My father's day gift is still in the mail, so we shall see. I had sent her some ideas though :)
Another vote for stay home. Summer and hiking, Blech. I don't understand why some people only camp in the summer. For me, that's the only season not to camp. Summers for kayaks and swimming pools. :)
Thanks. I'll have to try to get one ordered.
Any plans of doing these in a moisture wicking tech fabric? Pretty much all I wear anymore for outdoor activity.
That's borderline the recommended temp for having some kind of insulation under you, and likely necessary for at least the wife. A $12 Stanley CCF Pad from walmart is all I use for now. I'd recommend...
Like rolloff said, at 6'0, that hammock will not be comfortable. I started with $25 the walmart travel hammock. It's 9' 6". I am 6'0. It was way too small. I now have a 10'6" hammock that is JUST...
Agree, tarp if you don't have one. I've slept very warm in to the 20's with a 20 degree sleeping bag and $12 CCF Pad.
They want $10 to ship 1 set. When I add in shipping, Dutch is cheaper. Now if you buy more than 1 set, yes this site is cheaper than dutch and increasingly so as you add more.
Thinking Zaleski? Which loop? 1 or 2 nights?
It's hard to beat a dutch for $42. Even looking at the cheaper (less known) versions of Eno's, you'll spend more. I have an 11' Fox Outfitters. It's a Eno type and the only 11' I could find. I am...
That is awesome.
Tuned in as I'm planning on a Fronkey purchase within the next couple weeks. Did you inspect the net for any holes? I've no idea if cicadas can chew through this stuff, but just a thought.
*edit*...
I'm with Campdavid. I got a Yukon Outfitters with bug net from my parents a little over a year ago. It's my son's hammock. Perfect for a 7 year old. Not so much an adult.
Same as Trees Company. June is still busy with Baseball and TBall and we've a weekend away coming up, but I do want to join in one of these. I'm thinking June would be my last attempt until...
My favorite is to try different suspension. Been using straps with whoppies, picking up some kickstarter daisy chains and am intrigued by the kevlar straps after seeing just how small they are. The...
Ha No worries. This is a very hypothetical thread. I too sleep with ear plugs both at home because of the wife and while camping because of one of my buddies.
You hang from the same tree with this setup, hence the spreader bar, right? At least that's what Dutchs video shows.
Dutch's video show each hammock with their own suspension. The benefit is...
So I just was looking at the Dutch whoopie hooks and spreader bars to have the wife or 1 kid sleep close to you. Then i was thinking. I have a wife and 2( Soon to be 3) kids. What is the limit of...
Anything set yet?
