Since it’s new I’d contact HammockGear and ask for their advice.
Is this a new UQ?
I thought this hang was in February?
Just kidding I try to pay more attention these days. Looking forward to being there and seeing old friends
I would probably focus on more insulation and protection from the wind.
For the wind…
4.6 oz add one door to your hex tarp - sometimes referred to as a door kit or Grizz Beak. Looks like...
Y’all enjoy. I’d be there if I weren’t out of town. Not been getting enough hammock time in lately.
Don't forget to bring your camping chair... and water.
Hoping that Lacey the beagle and I will make it over. She'll probably still keep an eye on Taz even if he's eating Mountain House meals. ...
BTW.. if you know all or most of the vendors based on these first names, you've been around for awhile.
Slowhike.. I always love the old history threads.
When I use my gear, I often think of the hammock vendors and it still amazes me to know the first names of many of the vendors...in no particular...
It was great seeing y’all and catching up.
Fritz your hike sounds like an adventure.

Here was our Friday night group. No bears spotted and temps in the 70s - pretty sweet.

Did you all beat the rain out on that last day? Lacey and I got soaked.
Sorta related… there was a post over on Reddit recently about a bear getting into a hammock hangers gear and ripping up their pack. It wasn’t in John Rock proper but down the road from the fish...
I see we passed the 15 year site anniversary last month. That’s pretty awesome.
I’m not going to make this one - my oldest daughter is flying in from the west coast and we’ll be spending time with her and Thumbs likely up in Boone.
Y’all have a good time. Lacey and will...
Leave no trace guidelines for hammocks

I’d just get them at a store after you land. Easy enough. You’ll pass by a Walmart or Fred Meyers on the way out of town to Mt Hood. I was able to get fuel and other items there. There are also some...
Great family pic and wonderful memories.
I can sort of imagine the dog getting all wrapped up in their sleeping quarters. I’ve had that sort of happen with my dog and guylines. I’m sure that was...
I couldn’t view the video link on Tapatalk….
Here’s the URL for those having the same issue.

Now off to watch the vid … :)
Good review Red… crazy the end blew...
Closing this thread. Slowhike and Autumn look like they connected.
I would have bet it would have been the Cosby Knob shelter before reading the article. That campsite has habitual bear problems. Course people used to feed the bears through a chicken wire fence...
@Phantom I found where he wrote it on here once as “Yer gonna die”.
I wish I could see some of his old videos. I found his thread on a 1 lb system… he could really push the limit. I’m guessing...
I guess the ankle is feeling better :)
I enjoyed the write up. Sounds like a challenging but fun time.
That Art Loeb fella was pretty hard core connecting the route together. Can’t imagine...
That looks like a great loop. I need to try starting from that northern trailhead sometime. How is the parking?
Ok is it just me that sees the route makes a bird outline? I flipped the pic so...
FWIW the Myers stuff doesn’t come with the “pull” device anymore - at least when I got mine. That doesn’t change what you said - just pointing it out in case somebody does want to DIY something.
I saw he came out with the titanium ones. I’m guessing he’s testing using these for a hammock suspension? The notes say it works well it’s 7/64 Amsteel.
Anyway… his site is a mess. I can never...
Gonna miss this one. Y’all have fun
These? $12 for a 10 pack.
Course you only need 2.

I think these are the same as the ones Dutch sells?
...
Gotcha. Welcome back.
Maybe? I might need to test my legs out on something in the middle of the CRT / ALT to make sure I could cover the elevation gain. Isn’t it somewhere between 8-10k total? Might do some out and...
I remember doing a multi day trip by Beauty Spot on the AT & the heat was unbearable. Sometimes you can't escape it.
I was daydreaming about how nice it would have been to float some sections. ...
Are there places requiring a 2" strap? I thought Florida State Parks did at one point but see they are now 1".
As for locations that don't allow hammocks, there are no up-to-date listings that I'm...
Here's a good thread on top covers / socks. It's about the XLC but would be similar (I expect) with a Dreamhammock.
...
Welcome to the forums
Thank ya… when I got home I realized how many dog pics I had. Pretty fun having her along
Much appreciated Deb
Thanks DocTheo… it was a fun one. The Foothills would be an good winter training...

4 days & 40+ miles mainly on the Chattooga River trail. Logistic info at the bottom in case you are considering this trail.
Day 1 - I met up with Twistytee & El Gordo from the forum at Sloan...
Also just a guess but check the prussiks aren’t slipping.
Dreamhammock Darien 1.2 MTN is 64” wide , weighs 16 oz with a bugnet.

Add 2 oz for some lightweight straps.
Ok.. update to the plan... parking will be at Sloan Bridge picnic area... we won't be meeting a Burrells Ford since there are only a couple of us going.
We are going to meet there at 11:30am, and...
Great to have you onboard El Gordo!
I'll message you so we can exchange contact details.
Tintin.. you'll have to post some pics of your completed split ridgeline setup with line locs.. sounds interesting. I wonder if you'll need to put a backup knot in place to guard against high winds...
Agreed... Winter Palace. I've seen one that's been customized to make it even larger but $$$.
Yea, its a nice little feature. I was watchinga video of somebody doing this & I was like - what did you just do. Nice to know about.
I'm glad it worked for you :)
Sometimes photos uploaded or attached to Hammockforums are not displayed in the correct orientation - for example, upside down or sideways.

Great pics. Looks like a fun trip.

Much appreciated.
I’ve driven to the Grayson Highlands area from Charlotte, Boone and Damascus. Always impressed with the pretty countryside in your neck of the woods.
