I've used a Dutchware half-zip with the zippered bug net and a plain hammock with a Fronkey-style net. I like how streamlined the zippered net setup is, but one thing I really like about the bottom...

I started with a split ridge line and didn't like it. Then tried out prussiks on a continuous ridge line and liked the setup but had problems with them biting. About a year ago I swapped out the...

I have a Superfly and hadn't really used them before until last summer when I got stuck in a wicked thunderstorm. I quickly tied the side panels off to adjacent trees and it really helped everything...

I use some cord between a couple of trees and a carabiner hooked to her leash. It gives a bit of a dog run in the area where we're camping.

I made it through a Biblical thunderstorm last July in the BWCA with my Warbonnet Superfly. Worked great. Can't say I slept because of the thunder, lightning and wind, but I was dry. I use a 1.6...

Sounds like a fun trip. I took my then four-year-old camping there once and we had a good time. There were concerts happening at the Minnesota Zoo in the evening though and we were close enough/they...

I have continuous loops that stay on the hammock and use straps with a Becket hitch. The straps get wrapped and stored in a small ziplock which goes in the stuff sack with the hammock.

Simply Light Designs has an upgrade option to 13 feet https://simplylightdesigns.com/collections/tarp-accessories/products/single-skin-stuff-sack

Similar set-up for me, but I recently switched to Nama Claws instead of prusiks. I used to have a split ridgeline, but have found I like this more to be able to center the tarp where I want it. I...

I usually have a small carabiner or two (can always find uses for those I hadn't thought of) and a little duct tape or Tenacious Tape to fix any small holes in packs, tarp, bug net, etc ...

I've got a similar set from Amazon I use for my 5-year-old daughter's hammock in the yard (DIY tablecloth hammock with continuous loops). I put some anchors in two fence posts spanning the corner of...

This campground just south of the border crossing has tent sites for $20/night. Not free, but cheaper than a hotel http://www.arnoldsfishing.com/camping.htm Never been there, but looks like plenty...

I think it was pushed back at some point. I had put on my calendar after the announcement to check that date in April to see if the site was open again too. Also, the initial post says he was closing...

You've obviously already made up your mind. Buy the Amazon stuff.

But would that be any different than filling a spray bottle? It's still a guess. I usually soak some items, and then pour the leftover into a spray bottle and spray some items.

I started with a Fronkey-style and have since switched to a zippered (Dutchware Gear Half-Zip) and prefer the zippered.

I used both in heavy mosquito/bug areas (Boundary Waters Canoe Area) and...

Lots of people put something down below their hammocks to put their boots, pack, etc. on. You may have better luck searching for "ground cloth" rather than footprint for hammock-specific results.

Thanks for the sale! My wife was able to get her Christmas shopping done early. Hello Moroccan Blue Half-Zipped!

The vast majority of hammocks I see in the wild are Eno brand or similar, which are usually less than 11' long. So, many people must be finding comfort in shorter hammocks.

I don't use mine often, but when I do I hang one end from the hammock suspension near the tree, or even from the tree, and stake the other end to the ground just to the side of my hammock on the head...

Picked one up in-store in Minnesota for $17.99. Large display right inside the store entrance. I almost missed them heading to where I thought they'd be.

I just played around with this a bit and like it so far. Thanks for sharing it. I haven't ever used a web-based resource to track gear (just paper and pencil) but may give this a try. I have a couple...

I typically use an underquilt rated for lower temperatures, and change up the top quilt/top blanket as needed based on the expected weather. Unless it's extreme differences between ratings and...

I got an email like that today. After I signed-in all my old orders were linked up.

Site looks great! I ordered some suspension parts for my daughter's hammock.

That's what I did last time and it worked well. Mixed a gallon in a 5-gallon bucket. Squished around all of my soft goods (socks, shirts, pants, head net, hats etc ...) and hung to dry. Poured what...

I just got back from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in MN and am now sold on permethrin. It was a warm weekend, and at dusk the rest of my group had to put on more layers to keep the bugs from biting...

Great looking quilts. I've been looking to upgrade a top quilt and these are on my list.

Completely agree. I've used a Greylock 3 for years and it's a fine quilt. But for the money, if I was in the market for a new quilt, there are many more options/vendors today to choose from making...

Epic report. Thanks for sharing and all of the pictures!

Aug. 8 for me. Should still get some use this summer!

I do that too, but was hoping for some kind of automatic notification (email, through the app, whatever) that I wasn't seeing so I didn't have to manually revisit the cart. I figure if I don't check...

Do you get notifications about cart changes somehow or do you have to look manually?

I have a bunch of things set on camelcamelcamel that send an alert when my price is hit, but it would be easier...

I connect them outside because I can do it while standing up, instead of hunched over and having to move along side a hammock, bugnet, top quilt and under quilt.

Thanks! I just ordered one too. Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B012FCGLEY/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new The listing may change, but the first item is the $30 one sold by...

This happened to my gmail account for some reason and they all started getting routed to spam.

Wow. I guess I'm in the minority here but I don't see how it is Warbonnet's "mistake" at all. You purchased something and then changed your mind. Buyer's remorse is not Warbonnet's fault. If I were...

I was confused too. According to Warbonnet the quilt material is water resistant, not water proof.

From their site: "Using our quilt fabric makes for a typical un-lined windbreaker that is wind...

I've stayed at the Boulder Lake Campground in St. Croix State Forest a couple times. The sites are pretty secluded (two or three more-so than the others) and it's a pretty quiet area with access to...

I've hung in St. Croix State Forest a couple times and plan to go back. It's probably not too far from where you camped. I've disperse camped in the forest and stayed once at the Boulder Lake...

Invite the snakes. You need something to eat all the spiders.

That's a killer price for the Greylock 3. I love mine!

I leave my lines tied to my stakes, but use dutch fleas on the tarp. Still adjust in the rain from under the tarp and stay dry as you only reach to the tie-out ring where the flea is. Doesn't matter...

I primarily disperse camp in MN state forests. No amenities like a state park but it's free. Most have a basic campground or day use area of some kind, where I typically leave my car, and then head...

Yeah, this doesn't sound complicated at all :confused: :confused:

The internet used to be primarily about sharing and obtaining information and news. It seems that now, in addition to that, it's as much about agreeing/disagreeing with outrage over how someone else...

I've been using this method for the last year or so and have found no reason to go back to cord attached to the tieouts. Works great!

Great videos. Thanks!

Some past conversations about them ... pros and cons.

That "The Starry Night" pattern looks sweet! Good luck with the roll-out!
