Just a couple hours left.
Totally dictated by the terrain and if I see a need for drainage in a particular direction.
4 years on further down the road since this thread and first request since this thread....not been high on demand. Our design was a bit different than the Amigo and the parts we used we were not...
101 years after President Taft recognized Arrowhead Equipment with its own holiday we are still saying thanks to the president. :thumbup:
Enacted into law on April 25th, 1918 by President William...
Shorter tree straps and normal length woopies would work fine for you. Many folks hang that way. Long straps are common with cinch buckle based suspension systems but many folks that use whoopies go...
Bump this.
They only offered the 850 20D when I picked this up a few years ago.
Hey Hammock friends. I have a WB Lynx Uq in the dark grey color I’m selling. 0 Degree, full length, used less than 20 nights. Getting new rubber ban tensioners that should be here tomorrow. Includes...
Are your 20 nights sequential or single nights here and there. Many of us take a couple of nights in a row for our bodies to adjust to a new sleeping environment and routine. I personally take 2-3...
If your straps move when you first load the hammock you may want to begin wrapping the straps around an additional time before loading. This will help with increased friction and also distributes...
No real set plans for this year. If we decide to do the hang we will post about it at Arrowhead.
That area will feel miserably hot in July. Head up River a ways to much cooler lusher and thicker forested areas. The entire Stanley basin about an hour NE would be a better choice. Better scenery...
Not much to say. Right on the highway. Sparse trees, might be thought to hang. Still snow in that elevation now...campground is likely closed until sometime in May.
There are several campgrounds up Oak Creek Canyon. Have stayed in Cave Spring CG a few times and it works pretty well for hammocks...you may have to drive around a little and eyeball the sites...
There are lots of strap options available theses days. None of them are going to hold up to long term weather and UV exposure. They will degrade and weaken as time goes by. Knowing how long they...
‘Tis why we invented the tethered hammock pillow ten years ago. Dang ten years goes by in a flash. :mellow:
Thanks Stormbringer! Always appreciate the support.

Lucky Day today only!
Wow! Amazing photos and scenery. Looks like an incredible trip and one that will not quickly be forgotten.
Less is more...or is it less, I forget. Either way ditch anything that makes set up more complicated and forces you to have a longer hang span than really needed.
If you don't like the MSH then one option is to switch to a strap with a loop on each end and use a carabiner to connect to the whoopie.
If your preference is full-length coverage then you should go that route. Partials are for a weight savings (a bit of bulk too) and you don't have to end up with cold feet. The use of a foot pad is...
Today we officially launch Jr Trail Crew. It’s our Group Buy program for Scout Troops, Church Group’s and organizations that need to order gear in bulk to outfit the entirety Crew. Check it out at...
The Cure for the unknown is Desiccate Packets in the container with the quilt. You can get large ones and ones intended to dry small spaces.
Totes are how we recommend storing any and all...
Loads of scrub pine all over around Sedona and the South Rim. Plenty of camping in both areas. Particular Highlights would be Oak Creek Canyon between Sedona and Flagstaff. Been down in that area a...
The Tag is sewn in on the head end of the quilt to be able to easily I.D. the head end of the RidgeCreek XL...the 3/4 is easy to tell with the shock cords that go to the foot end.
As stated it's a general guideline to work from, not a hard set rule. The only way to find what feels best to you is to hang it and test it, adjust and test some more. But that is generally a good...
The 1 season Jarbidge weigh in at about 16 ounces and pack to around the size of a large cantaloupe. We have built a few recently and you can browse the Status page for weights on the various recent...
This is our Toxoway tarp...a pretty standard Cat Cut Hex tarp....Hexagon shape, catenary cut curves to cut weight and keep a tight pitch to the tarp.

Welcome to the forum neighbor.
Most folks like a bit larger tarp than the stock HH tarps though many folks have gotten by with them. A cat cut hex tarp is the most common for hammocks as it...
It really depends on the trees your hanging from most frequently. I have had 12 foot long straps not reach all the way around a tree I needed to use. For the most part here in the west, 6-10 foot...
Gunner nailed it. There is no one set up that will work for everyone and it’s all personal preference. For me the BB only needs about 3-4 inches higher on the foot end to be comfortable. 18” would be...
11’ to 12’ is by far more common for good coverage for most hammocks these days.
Having spliced many miles of each over the last ten year, I personally love to work with Dynaglide. It takes practice to get the feel of working with it but I would pick it to splice over any of the...
Here is our primer on hammock rope/cord/webbing and so forth that may help to clear up what each type of material works well for. https://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/blog/the-dope-on-rope

Great video Kurt. Hiking and hammocking in the Canyon a few years ago still reigns as one of the best backpacking trips I have ever done.
Today is 14% day. Get in on the countdown before it's gone. We still have time to build gear and ship it before Christmas.
Count down until Christmas is on!
Take 15% off Today, 14% off Tomorrow, 13% off the following day and so on as we count down to Christmas. The sooner you order the better the discount!
Tyvek is not very breathable and would trap condensation. Which would be worse all around in freezing temps.
Looks like a good set up. The Shot in the desert is great. The Olive Jarbidge looks great with the saguaro and soft light. :thumbup:
We build ours out of Dynaglide for the extra strength but small size. Build it like a whoopie and it will stay where you set it for length without any extra fiddling.
Get in touch with "Two Speed", he is a member here that just did that PCT in a hammock this past season. He has a full series of videos here: ...

Sorry no, we do not.
Just finished the first HexCam Spectre Underquilt

I can't imagine trying to hang a RR above or below any other hammock. Next to is one thing but stacked would be a feat that most would not be able to pull off. I have hung with my kiddos and my...
