Cool stuff and great pics.
I have seen my volleyball buddies do something similar with tyvek envelopes from the post office for net post anchors.

Armines,
As Breyman stated, there are a lot of factors to consider. Here is my take:
The stock suspension that came with my GT and ENO hammocks was NOT the "best" in any category except maybe...
Timber hitch around tree and marlin spike hitch for your whoopies. No loops required
Wolf,
Not sure I quite share your desire to seek out storms, but I do appreciate swinging in the trees during the flood waters. Back in October, I was doing a 7 day trip in Ocala and it stormed...
Very cool! For those that use tarp skins, would this method work? Are the tarp line "V's" too wide to accommodate sliding the skins out of the way? I have never used skins but just received a WL...
Tdg,
Did you get your quilts in? Have you had a chance to test them? I live in Cocoa beach and know the weather hasn't been chilly enough to test the lower limits yet.
All,
Sounds like it probably makes sense to reschedule. I wish I could make the Hot Springs hang but it is a busy weekend for me.
I am looking forward to seeing a variety of rigs and see other...
Hey all,
I can make it out after 1pm. Kids soccer and such.
Is anyone still planning on being out there at this time?

Sara/Chris and all locals,
First, it would be cool to meet some other folks and see other types of gear. I would definitely be up for some hiking, hanging, grubing and gabbing.
Second...I...
Sara/Chris....
Big welcome from another NC hanger!!!
I too own an ENO and live in Cary. +1 on rjcress recommendations. I always bring the hammock to those locations for day hikes. I Personally...
Nu,
I have a 2 and 4 year old and I am familiar with this issue. ;)
I just wrapped an 1/8" piece of double sided Velcro around the adjustable loop making a "bead" of sorts after the fact.
Rock,
I have an ENO DN which was given as a gift and it got me hooked. It did take a bit to get it comfortable. Like Graffix mentioned, my DN came with slapstraps and after fiddling and much...
Scott,
Funny you should bring this up...I was just tweaking my tarp lines and thinking that it would be cool to get rid of any unnecessary hardware ala Ray Mears.
From my limited hammocking...
Hey WarEagle,
I have an ENO DN and ditched the slapstraps and heavy carabiner after the first over nighter.
After researching a bit, I went the whoopie sling route. Either way you go it will...
Tanker,
I have an ENO DN and a GT UL. I too find the ENO the most comfy. Just curious on your suspension system as you mentioned you didn't like the setup time.
Since adding whoopie...
Hey TeeDee,
Pretty cool stuff! Your solution looks much more elegant than what I came up with.
I did something similar on my ENO DN that has whoopie slings run thru the sewn channels. I used...
Hey Fiz,
Welcome to HF from another NC hanger!
I too am new to hammocking and due to the wealth of information from the folks here, I have made the absolute best decision on gear!...
FubyDoo,
Welcome to the forum!! I am a newcomer to HF and hammocking in general, I can attest that I have learned so much from all of the folks here.
eFlat7 and NC locals,
I followed the...
Hey Hilo4321,
I am a relative noob, so take this with a grain of salt.
I have an ENO DN and have added whoopie slings thanks to all of the knowledge shared on this forum. In addition I added a...
Syb,
Nice....more gear!!!
Let's not scare Derek off with all of the gear compulsions yet. Did we mention that a 90L pack is mandatory? :laugh:

Derek,
I am a relative noob like you and own an ENO DN. It was a gift that has led to a rather "unhealthy" obsession. I am sure my wife wants to take it back. :D
If you are seeking direct...
All,
As a relative noob...I want to say that I have found Hammock forums a fountain of knowledge and a consuming place for getting "mental flossed"! Who would have thought some simple ingredients...
Hey all...newbie question here:
Is it feasible to use a hammock for the entire thru hike?
Thanks,
DudeDowne
BTW...where did you get this bag for $40? Cheapest I see online is $50.
Thanks for the info!
