A couple of the previous posts mentioned the cold draft that occurs when the TQ drapes over the edge of a bridge hammock. I borrowed a tip from someone on here a while ago and have started using the...

I have been using the bushman chair for almost a year mainly for hunting from the ground in the mountains of North GA, as I hunt on National Forest off of the AT 8 months out of the year. I have...

It’s been a while since I have been on the site, but I was very pleased to see the foot box snap option. That was the only feature I had wished my quilt had, and soon it will. Thanks Paul!

Thanks for the responses guys. The chair from Arrowhead Equipment is the one I had seen, but just couldn't remember where.

Does anyone know of a small hammock designed specifically for sitting? I seem to remember seeing one for sale somewhere that was designed to be used between two trees that are close together for...

FleXlite Chair is SOLD.

The FleXlite chair is still available.

The pack is sold.

Yes. The Hipbelt is remove able. I am A size 40" waist and the fit is perfect.

I am 6' 5", 215lbs myself and the fit is perfect. I had originally ordered the XL and it was way to long.

Looks like it just came out of the box.

ULA Circuit, Size LG, Hipbelt XL, S Straps, Multicam. Perfect Condition. Purchased this off Massdrop and has been used on one overnight. Recently purchased external frame for hunting and don't...

Beautiful pics. I would love to see that part of the country one day.

That's cool. I have dealt with low back issues for years so I may have to give that indoor hanging a try.

Glad you are no worse for wear. I am usually solo so I hang closer to the ground just to be on the safe side.

That stinks, but once you have snoozed in the RR nothing else will do.

I use them. As others have said, dampening some of the sounds I am not used to helps me sleep in the woods.

I am a side sleeper as well....at least when I fall asleep. I almost always wake up in the morning on my back. The RR does OK as a side sleeper. Try it one night without using the 4" extension on...

I hunt solo on NF using the AT to access some great spots most others are not willing to walk to. With food/water/weapon and heavy 7lb external frame pack with meat shelf I am close to 50 lbs. for a...

That is similar to my experience. First night out I don't sleep so well unless I have done a lot of miles. Ear plugs and ambien help.

I was deer hunting 30' up a white oak on a day with 15- 20 mph gusts. Heard some cracking and sat helplessly while a 60' dead pine came falling towards me. The top of the pine landed 20' from the...

I am 6'5, 215lbs as well. The RR is perfect. Plenty long enough.

I hope you enjoy your Ridge Creek. It fits the RR like a glove. Zero fiddle factor. The three season will easily work into the mid 20s. Have used mine into the high teens with some extra layers...

The pole mod works great on the Cloudburst. Now that it's warming up I am hoping to go "porch mode" when weather permits, and was wondering if I need to remove the pole mod to do that.

I have enjoyed a couple weekend backcountry hammock hunts in the Chattahoochee National forest over the past month. I use the AT to access some beautiful national forest. If there is a chance of...

Had my best nights sleep in my Ridge Runner yet. Went turkey hunting last weekend off the AT and had the Whitley Gap shelter to myself Saturday night. Incredible sunrise Sunday morning. Really...

Thanks for the responses. I was using the tarp pole mods which under less windy conditions work wonderfully. In this case I believe I would have been better off securing the tie-outs to a tree or...

I just returned yesterday from a short weekend trip with an old high school buddy after an overnight on the AT in North Ga. This was the second or third time I have tried to sleep in a hammock in...

thanks for the thoughtful commentary Shug. It's like getting a peek behind the curtain. Really enjoy your perspective from behind the lens as well as life in general. I hope you keep walking and...

That Shugs been real square-dealin with me. Sent me a nice T shirt Mmm Hmm. He's helped a lot of people on here, I'm right sure of it. I hope the good Lord watches over him in his travels and...

Count me in slim! I'm down for 2. Have spent a few rainy Saturdays watching Shug's videos. It's the next best thing to being out there.

I have spent two nights in my WBRR using mountainsmith trekking poles in place of the spredder bars without any issues. Set up the hammock yesterday in the yard to let it air out from last weeks...

Welcome from Cumming GA!

We were just beyond Swaim gap about 100 yds short of Rock Top Spring. We only had one vehicle and a short window of opportunity so we didn't make it to Cowrock Mountain this trip, but already making...

That is an awesome photo!

The temp was 21 without the 10- 15 mph gust factored in. I supplemented my Owyhee 3S TQ the Ozarks Walmart bag, and placed a fleece sleeping bag liner between my 3S Rivers Edge UQ. Wore mid weight...

I got a great deal on a new ULA Circuit last month. Paid $185 and received it within 2 1/2 weeks. There were 20 available in the drop, so sometimes you have to act quickly.

Just returned home to find my Owyhee 3S TQ at the front door. Paul was great to work with and made it 7" wider for just a couple of bucks more. Great value for the money. Really looking forward...

A little off topic, but related. One breezy afternoon while perched 30' up a white oak while deer hunting, I had a 50' tall pine tree blow over straight at me. I heard a loud crack and the tree...

Paul...Nice demonstration. I just received my Mountainsmith poles. Glad to free up some space in the side pockets of my pack now that I won't have to carry the stock spreader bars.

I am looking at purchasing the Owyhee as well. Could you tell me if you were using the 3 season or 4 season when it got down to 19 degrees. I live in North GA, so I am hoping a 3S would be all I...

Interested as well!

Thank for the response Rat. I am very pleased with the warmth of my New River synthetic under quilt, so I am confidant the Owyhee will be toasty as well. Just wanted to make sure there was enough...

I am looking at purchasing a top quilt and have narrowed it down to the Owyhee synthetic 3 season, or the Burrow 20. The reviews on both have been great, but I am leaning towards the Owyhee mainly...

I've decided there's no such thing as to slow. I got a late start on Friday, and had arranged for my wife to pick me up at noon on Sunday. 30 miles in 48 hours right out of the gate was poor...

Yep. I was solo and had been cautioned about trying to hike too far too soon. Found myself having hiked about 9 miles by lunch time. Tried sitting around and taking it easy, but got bored and...
