I know there are a ton of posts out there on tensahedrons, including the longest post of all time. And over the last several weeks I've read some many posts it's all blurring together and I'm having...
If Heavyhiker were my name, it could be so for any number of reasons, particularly including my own weight and the weight of my pack. Sadly, I still haven't learned the discipline required to get my...
I admit... that's impressive.
It appears that most of the suggested capacity ratings I've seem in hammock gear to account for a safety factor of 4 or 5. In which case, It's not entirely...
Coffeeneone, you've received some good feedback on this topic. Just last night I sewed up a Bridge Hammock (RBTR pre-cut DIY) out of the 1.8 Airwave. I can't yet attest to how it sleeps overnight...
Ok, SilvrSufr and daneaustin3. After much consideration based on your comments, I decided to ditch the integrated insulation idea and decided to go with 5.0 UQs. I just ordered a couple more UQ...
Thanks Bill.
Thankfully, I was warned of CBS when I was introduced to the hammock by my son's scoutmaster. He basically said, don't bother with a hammock if you aren't gonna get an UQ to go...
I outweigh you by about 50lbs. and did just fine last season with a home made 1.9 ripstop nylon using fabric from RBTR which is also rated at 350lbs. I just handed that down to my daughter and...
Your bugnet comment is prescient. That's the other thing I've been wrestling with... add an integrated net, or use separate net. I'll guess I'll have to do a version of each and let them fiddle...
Jumped right in... but like many here, I already had extensive backcountry experience, just not in hammocks. And I should add... I only "jump right in" on new things when I'm only responsible for...
I値l chew on that for a while. I知 not against a suspended UQ in the long run, but I知 not convinced they池e quite ready to handle it yet. I watched my son fiddle around with his first few trips...
daneaustin3... That's the weight I've been going back and forth on. 3.6oz. vs 5.oz. I think my kids are all colder sleeper than I am so your preference is probably safer than mine. We'll have to...
SilvrSurfr, thank you for responding but I think I may have put too much info out there and confused the question.
First, just to assure anyone who may have got the wrong impression, I would...
Hello all...
First, apologies...I just submitted my first post and then realized, I'd never submitted an introduction post.
I'm Doug. I'm a 5th generation son of the San Joaquin and grew up in...
Hi all... long time lurker, first time poster... be kind. I have done a ton of searches and research... some of the answers to the questions I'm about to ask have probably been answered and I just...
