I have a single layer and have always been concerned by the stretch. I get gaps on the sides above the under quilt that I have to be careful with, when I lay on my back my arms are not covered by the...

I use a UGQ Winterdream 13 with my RR. It fits great, has doors and tie-outs. I had mine made with end pole mods so that I could add internal poles to really open up the volume.

Unfortunately they...

The last I heard was that access to public lands is closed in WA and OR. I know that Weyerhaeuser and Fiber have also closed their lands. Check the area you are going to before you leave. I have...

You should look at Luxe stoves.

I use a snowline cube table. It fits nicely beside my hammock and with an aluminum top I do not worry about using a stove on it. It's not something that I would take backpacking, but it goes on all...

Let me just throw this out there. Maybe think about a Dutch netless and a bargain/penny pincher tarp with a nice underquilt. This will allow you to not spend a bunch of money and try out some things...

Mine was only a couple of days from production to shipping. After that the USPS let me down. It sat in Jackson, Michigan for 10 days until things got moving. The USPS contracts with all of the...

I usually just keep the hammock on the right side of the tree and the tarp on the left if the tree isn't to big. If its large tree tarp comes from the middle. I am sure some people would worry that...

That is what is known as brownline or airplane seat track. When I worked in the aviation industry we would perform static and dynamic load testing on equipment that was attached to the aircraft. It...

The key is making sure that you are straight through. I used a piece of paper that I wrapped around the tube and then marked where they overlapped. Take the paper off and you can use a ruler to mark...

I cat cut my RR UQ. Next time I would just make it rectangular. The center is where most of your weight is and when the hammock stretches out it will come out about the same. I really over thought...

I have a Klymit X pillow and I am looking for another style. The X works pretty good if it's almost fully inflated. I like it pretty thin in my hammock and I find that the air moves from one chamber...

I am in the planning stages to build one almost exactly like this. One thing that concerns me is the small amount that the poles are inserted into each other. Do you find that 3" is enough? I was...

This is the type of sewing that having a machine with more features helps. I have a vintage Viking mechanical cam machine that has high and low speeds and the ability to stop the needle where you...

I should probably introduce myself. I live in Vancouver (not BC), Washington (not DC). I do a lot of backpacking with a Boy Scout troop. We have been to many area of Washington and Oregon. There are...

Vancouver, WA here. I am fairly new to the hammock, but have been reading and planning for several years. I camp year round, at least once a month.
