I am thinking about making a super stuffed UQ or TQ. Where is the best place to get down stuffing? The first idea I had was going to a rummage sale and picking up a handful of down-filled pillows. Is...

Update: went up to Upper Michigan for Christmas and slept outside a couple nights. I used my whole setup plus another 40* sleeping bag as a blanket. Lowest it got to was about 13-15* with some...

For summer i usually just use a sleeping bag that goes down to 30.
Spring and fall I will use the bag and a full length pad. Sometimes if it is colder I put on my WB spindrift sock. If it is going...

I have sleeping bags (a 30* and a 40* both polyester), and I have not yet tried them yet in the winter. I have used the 30* one in the fall with it opened partway on it's side so it resembles a...

The channel really helps with adjusting the UQ during the night. Sliding it up and down it's suspension lines make it much more versatile for different hammocks(if you have more than one) I recommend...

If you want a completely basic hammock, I suggest the Equip brand one from Walmart. It is a simple hammock in a bag, made of heavier duty material than most others. What it needs is a bug net and a...

Very cool! I can't wait for mine to come. Ive read the shipping times are long during this season but it is well worth the wait

Thanks - just ordered mine

As far as the wind/waterproof -ness of it, how does it hold up? If the forecast is only for a little drizzle or light snow, would this work well enough to block out the wind/water that a tarp would...

I have a ridgerunner and I love the thing. For spring/fall camping, has anyone tried Warbonnet's spindrift? Ive heard both good and bad reviews, so I'm asking for some opinions on if its worth the...

Congrats on discovering hammocks! One of the best Hobbies I've ever gotten into. I'm from Illinois as well , so jumping in the car and finding a campsite in Wisconsin is nice and easy.(highly...

Love the idea and design. Its on my list to build one soon, as there is only 1 hammockable tree in my yard. Ive been using a 2 by 4 supported by some extra lines and stakes. That has slipped on me a...

I have a WBRR- works wonderfully in three seasons. I haven't tried it in the winter yet though. My setup would be the RR, wrapped in my full-length Winter Lynx UQ, then wrapped in my WB Spindrift...

I had an old foam mattress about 3-4 inches tall. I cut it to roughly the width of the RR and sewed the cover to fit. I don't take it with me when I go camping, but in the backyard i just lay it in...

Seems like a cool idea. Hopefully it works as a ground tent for that price. If I spent a whole week out in the woods I might prefer this to a snugly fitting hammock. (I have a WBRR, though). Gives me...

I was looking at those earlier. Just out of curiosity, is the DIY one any bigger than just a regular metal one from the store?

Love hammock camping!

My problem:
More than once, even though I packed my bags tight for the night, I've had critters and bugs getting into my clothes and pack
One time I was set up on a hill...

Mines in the mail! Can't wait for it to get here. My budget was christmas gifts from all relatives so I went all out and ordered double layer RR, the spindrift, full length Lynx UQ, and the Superfly...

Greetings from the northern Chicago suburbs! I have a quick question for y'all. There are plenty of trees to hang from when I go camping, but my backyard's trees are annoyingly unsuitable for my...

1. Check out Lawson hammocks- they have a bridge hammock that doubles as somewhat of a bivy bag. I have not personally checked out the quality of it, but from the price and reviews is seems to be...
