I’ve got a warbonnet blackbird. I was told it was a longer one, but it was the ten footer - which sucks for me, as I’m 6’4”, 250lbs. The wbbb has a matching under and top quilt.
Wanna work out...
Re: hammockprime’s post (and the video linked):
That’s how I’ve been rolling for 2021, with no issues thus far (about three or four dozen hangs this summer?)
I’m confused why it’s not more...
I have had an issue with my incubators creating calf ridge in my wide chameleon as they aren’t wide enough to side to side it. When I lay diagonal the edge of my incubator is basically riding up...
I have an older (bought it used, don’t know the date of manufacture) blackbird. I found that because it doesn’t have pack hooks on it, to hold the underquilt in place, I would have trouble with the...
I use the dutchware 1.3 reflective guy line https://dutchwaregear.com/product/reflective-dutch-cord/
Very easy. Pretty light. Also easier to use in cold weather than the tiny Dutch bling, IMO.
Are you looking for ways to tie your RL to a tree, or tie your tarp to the RL (assuming a CRL)?
Either way, I use mini evoloops.
To tie my RL to the tree, I use a fixed loop and connect it to...
I’ve got a black bishop bag that’s big enough for my hammock, underquilt, UQP, and pillow. Makes it easy to deploy (without anything dragging on the ground, risking damage). I just store the top...
Also came to say hogs.
If you’re looking for a tarp, I recently bought a maelstrom from Prometheans - a Canadian site. It was like $100 or so, Canadian, shipped. It’s not as nice as some, but for the money, it’s a solid...
You might want to check out Hofman outdoor gear supply. They’re in Winnipeg and sell a lot of hammock gear. If you’re in Manitoba, that might be a nearby hookup for decent stuff
I have a super fly, I have some simply light designs tarp sleeves with pockets. I store my ridge line in the pocket and when it’s time to put the tarp up, I can easily grab it.
I keep my...
Do you happen to know if they are silPoly or sil nylon or DCF? Also, what ridge line length are they? And do they have panel pulls?
I wish Someone would have pulled me aside and explained that learning a small number of knots (really just a prussic*, an Ashley stopper knot, how to steal a loop from a line (the beginning step of a...
I keep my guy lines attached to the stake. I use a bit of shock cord on my tarp tie out spots, but instead of Dutch bling I use a mini-evoloop prusiked to the guy line. I soft link that with the...
Hi everyone.
I’ve been using the j-bend instead of the becket hitch, and I’ve also fallen deep into the Meyers tech & autumn ultralight rabbit hole of interesting no-knot no-hardware suspension...
This is the link to his hammock skins

I got mine from simply light. They offer lengths from 9’ to 13’

This is https://dutchwaregear.com/product/pack-hooks/ what I use, I see one about 10-12” from the head and foot end on each side of my hammock (measure along the hammock where you want to connect the...

This is what you’re describing, when it comes to the weight system? It does look much more fail safe.
So I’ve been playing with ideas related to this all afternoon.
I’ve finally gone back to prusiks, and now I’ve started using overhand knots instead of butterfly knots.
What is the benefit of...

Thank you, nanok!
My partner and I were hitting the gym recently, and she was saying she wants to improve her grip strength. I just used this knot system to make an...
The knot combo in the OP.
I’m interested in learning more. Does anyone have a YouTube or Vimeo video demonstrating how to tie this knot?
Exactly my thoughts. Hex to diamond seems interesting. It looks light. Seems large.
My thoughts are that it would have to be set up with wind direction hitting the hex side, and wouldn’t be...
I started with soft shackles prusiked to my ridge line, thinking I could simply open them, connect my tarps d ring, and connect them. I was using the ones Meyers sells. I found that the process of...
I agree. I had Dutch hooks. Their size is their biggest advantage and disadvantage- they were too small for me to really want to use.
I also switched to mini evoloops and prusiks. Just thru and...
Has anyone seen or used the sea to summit hammock tarp?
I have a couple of sea to summit tarps, but haven’t used, or even seen in person, their hammock tarp.
Do any of you have experience...
Hooks, fish hooks, and tarp flyz sold to packman. The other items are still available
Hooks, fish hooks, and flys are sold, pending payment.
Cool. DM me what you want and your address. Also be sure to post “I’ll take it” with the hardware you want.
32$ for all the hooks. 42$ for the hooks and flyz?
You would be interested in all of the warbonnet hooks and all of the Dutch hooks? I could split it like that, I’m just hoping to avoid selling a hook and a flea to someone, and a flea and a pair of...
I’ve got the following for sale
6x hookworms on blue reflective guy wire with shock cord loops
4x loose hookworms

That’s a good question about the Kevlar and the rings. I can’t help there, as I use the Kevlar as my huggers and the spider as my webbing strap of choice when using the rings.
My partner, who...
Wow. Good to know!
I am looking to buy patch kits, probably DCF or sil poly patches to save weight, and I don’t know where to look for a decent price
Does anyone have experience using DCF patches on silPoly tarps? ...
My honest opinion? Get some 2” huggers, larks head them to your straps, then move the U shaped hardware to them. The huggers can wrap the tree for you, leaving the full length of your straps to...
Another suggestion. If you’re just lounging, ie not hiking/camping, perhaps run a ridge line beside or angled across your hammock, and use the SLD bottle holder on that, so that it’s not hanging...
You would be better to get a tailor to sew some d rings on your hammock, IMO
My mom and dad have an 80 acre lot about 30-40 minutes out of town. She keeps horses and chickens. I’m giving my mom my old hammock set up, now that I’ve gotten fancier. She just hangs out and...
I second the SLD bottle holder (you could put it on a side hook if you don’t want it attached to your ridge line)
Or there’s this from Dutch https://dutchwaregear.com/product/bottle-holder/

Thanks. My memory is fuzzy about the straps, I remember liking them, but then decided to go silly light with Dutch spider straps and sold my old pythons. They were quite good for what they were,...
Kammock pythons have a thicker strap (I don’t remember if they’re 1.5 or 2 inch) where it wraps the tree, then they taper down to .75” the rest of the way.
Back when I used carabiners and daisy...
I have fleas (2), and a bunch of tarp worms (a bunch loose, and a bunch connected to reflective cordage with shock cord loops. I also have 4-6 Dutch hooks. If you’re interested in them, I can let...
I can suggest the thermarest vesper top quilt. It’s pretty good for mass manufacture. For underquilt, there’s some on all the for sale sites and whatnot.
You want a top quilt and an underquilt. The top quilt works like a tent campers sleeping bag (keeping your top side warm). The underquilt works like a tent campers sleeping pad (keeping you warm...
You could also join the j-bend crew.
