I'll take it. BigRed I'll reach out via messages.
Mike,
I'm interested to see what you decide and hope you will return at some point to let us know how it worked out for you. I'm in the refining gear stage for a '24 thru starting around the same...
Just ordered my wife's Christmas presents! Thanks for the sale...
Another good video Layne! Thanks for the report. I like how the video editing and style have progressed. I enjoy the temperature graph and the daily milage report on the map with stick pointer. ...
Nice trip report and thank you for sharing.
At 48, I envy those miles you are churning out. They would be too heavy for me these days.
I also appreciate you reporting back on the appropriateness of...
I enjoy making the hammocks, so I was looking for that opportunity. In years past we have done the same with a rope hammock that we had for years from a store in South Carolina on the coast.
Yes. At a bit over 200 pounds myself, my favorite backpacking hammock material is still 1.7 mtn. I'll take the slight weight penalty for the comfort and durability.
I was looking at the weight...
This is a good point. Hadn't really thought about how fast it might degrade. Thanks for bringing it up.
As noted in the OP I actually have hammocks that are both made of 1.6 hyper and 1.7 mountain. I enjoy both those fabrics, but I was hoping someone might suggest other alternatives that are both...
I'm going to sew up a new "yard" hammock to leave up for the summer. I've got really comfortable single layer backpacking hammocks made from 1.6 and 1.7 material, but since weight is no concern on...
Welcome to the forum from just north of Charlotte. I have gleaned some great information from here as I'm sure you will too. I share some of the same stomping grounds and situation. Hammocking and...
Thanks for sharing. Looks like a great time even considering the "wet".
I would love to hear how this worked out for you, as I hope to do the same in the near future. Which direction are you going in?
Have a great trip...
Always a pleasure to check in on Sector Seven.
Recently picked up a UQ protector and looking forward to trying it now that the cooler weather is coming in. Thanks for the video.
Enjoyed the video and thanks for posting about your experience. I think waking up to those bulls in the morning would have given me a heart attack.
Thanks for the write up. Foothills is on my list of places visit.
I use mine for that exact purpose. No problems so far.
Thank you for another trail report. You hikes are inspirational and provide guidance for future opportunities. Much appreciated and I hope you continue with them in the future.
I have the Darien 1.7 at 72" wide. I'm 6'1" 205. Very comfortable fabric and firm enough for me to be comfortable. I do feel like it is a bit too wide for the way I lay and would in hindsight opt...
Nicely done and thank you for sharing!
Great video and thanks for posting. Nice to have a little inspiration in this "no hike" period. Hope to make it there soon.
My experience is limited so take this with a grain of salt, but I find the 1.7MTN to be very comfortable. I sleep in a firmer bed at home so I opted for the 1.7 MTN from Dream Hammocks after a lot...
I'm not a facebook guy, but I see you post here for Tarheel hangers so I'll keep my eyes open. Thanks.
I did just read that trails and bathrooms to remain open, so maybe some good news there.
Screws up trip planning. NC State parks are closed. Not sure of the duration. Just FYI to check before you go...
Great trip report for one of my favorite places. Thanks for putting it together and hope you will continue to do more.
I'll take it. PM for payment details.
Certainly have fell down this one. Not great for productivity...:)
Thanks. Always looking for someone to shuttle with too. Hope we might get that opportunity sometime.

Finally registered up and needed to say thank you for all the advise that I've garnered from the site already.
New to hammock camping and a recovering tent dweller.
Just found out about the local...
