When I fasten my rainfly to the hammock suspension lines I use a loop of 1/8" elastic cord on one end of the rainfly ridgeline attachment point on the rainfly. This will compensate for the potential...
Visit the Hike Arizona website. They list a number of hikes in NV.
Swap ends. I just put my feet at the net end.
I use a gear hammock from Simply Light Designs (SLD). I find it handy for storing the hammock, quilts, booties, pillows, stocking cap, & tarp for transport. My gear hammock has a zipper. I often...
I use a 40°F TW and stack a JRB 20°F Greylock 3. It seems to be a good combination for AZ. For a top quilt I started with a Katabatic Gear Flex 30°. Later I picked up a JRB Hudson River 20° F. I...
I see more people using hammocks for day use but not that many for overnights. I prefer dispersed camping so don't often camp formal campgrounds. I too have noticed that HF participation has...
Hennessey Hammock Explorer Deluxe Classic XL w/hex tarp was my first hammock. Current favorite hammock is a Warbonnet (WB) Eldorado and a WB Minifly tarp. I also use a WB Traveler netless hammock...
The WB Wooki has an integral underquilt protector. Is the concern wind penetration or rain splash? If cold is a real concern, I would consider stacking your underquilt with a ¾ length 20° F...
I have a recently purchased DW Half-Wit but have only used it for day outings to date. I find the bug net a bit too warm in hot weather. I reverse my lay and put the bug net end at my feet when it...
I use Wiggy's Booties. They also make Sleeping Socks. Both have a drawstring to keep them on your feet. They are light weight and work well. I rarely wear socks at night. Wiggy's website.
I use a loop of shock cord on one end of the tarp ridgeline d-rings to allow some tension self-adjustment when the hammock is loaded. Makes the setup less fiddley and eliminates the risk of a torn...
Root Cause: getting old, maybe too fat, and legs and hip weaken in your autumn years. Countermeasures: Exercises and strength training to improve leg, hip, and core strength plus balance. Most...
I don't like to wear socks when sleeping. I'm generally OK barefoot down into the 30°'s F range. I use Wiggy's booties when it is colder. The Wiggy's booties have a drawstring to help keep them on...
I have a slight preference for the Becket Hitch or Lapp Knot using Warbonnet Dynaweave straps. A problem with the Dynaweave straps is that they tend to twist up and be harsh on soft barked trees. I...

Assuming you are taking MI-28 East:
Tyoga Historical Pathway; N of MI-28 on CR-483 has a small rustic campground that is lightly used. It can be a little buggy. It is the site of an old...
I set up by passing the anchor strap under a door and larks heading a sneaker to the end. You might want to lock the door if it is inward opening.
Richard Bong State Recreation Area in Kansasville, WI might be a good base for motorcycle touring. The park has two campgrounds that are RV orientated but are mostly wooded. You could call them and...
Take a look at these wall anchors from Dutchware: ADJUSTABLE WALL ANCHOR (PAIR)
These are load anchor brackets used in the airfreight industry.
I use soft shackles to attach my hammock continuous loops to the pole connectors. It seems to work fine. I prefer the soft shackles over the carabiners because they are less bulky.
I have a HH...
I use soft shackles to attach my hammock to the Tensa4. I did have the stitching rip on one of my guy line daisy chain straps next to the buckle. I hooked a pole connector to the strap next to the...
Iowa state parks changes hammock policy.
I've tent camped at Lake McBride State Park. It is a nice park and their site states hammocks are allowed.
Just a heads up on a campground close to Pictured Rocks that is scenic and not very busy: Kingston Lake State Park.
I'm 6'2" and find the 11' X 62" wide Warbonnet Eldorado and Traveler hammocks about ideal in width. They do not need Knotty Mods to manage excess fabric. I also have a Dutchware 11' Netless Wide...
I would take a look at the Simply Light Designs Trail Winder under quilt. It uses Apex insulation. A new version has the option of a second snap on layer of insulation using KAM snaps to give it...
I'll plan to attend. I may split off for part of a day to go trout fishing on Haigler Creek. I could bring Brats/Italian Sausages plus condiments for a lunch.

I would try laying the quilt out on a spare bed or flat surface for a couple of days. I ordered a JRB Hudson River Hudson River L (20° F) in November 2021. When I received it I laid it out for a...
I purchased a Tensa4 a couple of weeks ago and it works well with my Warbonnet Traveler XL and my Dutchware Wide 11' Netless. I had not tried it with my old HH Explorer Deluxe XL Classic. I took...
I like the Mogollon Rim area along Rim Rd (FR 300) North of the AZ-260 junction. I camped up there about two weeks ago and it was pretty deserted. It looks like the Forest Service policed the trash...
I have a Trail Winder 40° UQ and am very happy with it. I was thinking of modifying mine with Kam Snaps to add another DIY panel of insulation for AZ winter use. Apparently great minds think alike.
I use a Katabatic Gear Flex 30°F size Wide 6'-6", which is 58" wide. My shoulder circumference is 54". I don't think a 48~50" width would work for me at lower temps. You want to be able fasten the...
I like the WB Lightweight Double Eldorado. It is only 6 oz. heavier than a single. The HH Heat Reflecting Double Bubble Pad XL works well with the Eldorado. I get some moisture build up if temps...
Are we talking degrees F, C, K, or R?
Payment sent for Trail Lair & Asym Tarp per agreed amount.
Could you provide the widths of the Tree Runner and Trail Lair?

No issue with my blemished Minifly. It saw a half day of medium and light rain with no issues. There was visible defects that I could detect.
Most of my hanging is in the Tonto National Forest; Sierra Ancha Mountains or on the Mogollon Rim. I recently acquired a DutchWare 11' Wide Netless Hammock and found it near ideal for hot weather...
Look into the Ford and Escanaba Rivers. They both empty in Lake Michigan in Escanaba. The head waters of the Escanaba River are in the area of Van Riper State Park. Take a look at the Dead River...
