I will never forget. The forecast was wonderful, the reality too. Cold night and warm sun in the morning. Birds, all shades of green, and garlic smell.

Oh yes, of course. My boots are still outside
this time the nature is quite ahead due to very warm end of winter ... it was windy and cold for this period
...
Amazing trip, this is what I would love to experience. At least once in a lifetime. Did you make this one on your own ?
Thanks, sure they are, as all of the others :)
Your videos are becoming my only touch of the winter feel during the whole year. We have less and less snow every year. And can see you as well have less snow. However the temperatures make the...
We have vast pine forest fields spreading through the military training area. Always a challenge to hide and keeps some more or less nice view and undergrowth. Lets see how atacs fabric will perform...
Nice ! It blends so well ... and not only in pure snow.

Hi from Slovakia :D
you can reach out for some ultralight hammocking gear over here:

Yes of course you can see them around in the woods :) Around 50 tarps through Europe, mainly Slovakia of course. Sometimes people write me they want such tarp. My last tarp goes to Germany, and it...
exactly, when a snowflake is the most noisy element around you, you can hear them touching the tarp
not so much, atound 1 feet :)
Forecast promised nice clear morning, so we put ourselves right on the edge of the forest. To catch the first pink rays through the ice. The night was very silent, calm, around 25F, with moon and...
Thanks to all for the comments, we have very few nights of conditions like this, and it is question of luck and ability to pack the backpack fast from one day to another.
For several weeks now, we have permanent wind over here in central Europe. Like really strong winds, and if there is a night without wind, it is middle of the week. Something is going wrong here....
Thanks you :)
No, tye ridgeline is sewn with 2 lines of stitches, double rolled hem style. Easiest you can think of.
Membrane silpoly from ripstopbytheroll and dutchware xenon .9 is the same fabric
I guess you mean tieouts on this tarp. Those are glued with silicone.
The weight is just a tarp in stuffsack.
Havent post here for a while. But still constructing few tarps a year with my favorite bonded reinforcements :)
I made an ultralight version of Thunderfly. Used dutchware xenon .9
It is a bit...
First snow this season. We have a lot of heavy winds for some time now. There was a forecast for wind direction change and chance for snow in the morning. I have found a good spot before, and had to...
Strong winds, some rain, and dark forest. But a good forecast for the morning sunrise, so we gave it a try. Walked some 1 hour and we found a place with no wind, view towards sunrise, and quite nice...
You head for Viena international airport, Austria. The pickup will be organized and you will go straight to my hospital :)
Exactly. This kind of blue just fits. Cant wait to see it with some frost :)
Favorite time of the year is here. Took some time to explore to woods to catch the place where the potential fog will be, but still, it is a matter of luck. We have got some pretty sun laying in the...
This does not happen very often, for us the success came after some 7 years of trying and climbing. Very nice conditions.
Before the sunrise. We had a cloud coming through us all the night, but...
This is beacause you pull it diagonal. The fabric has quite a lot of stretch this way. You can try it with your hands. No stretch n 90 degree pull, and stretch in 45 degree.
We hunt the fog quite a lot, and sometimes it happens. And if the sun touches the forest, the light becomes magic. So the morning in the hammock with tasty coffee.
...
... to spread the tarp and have a good time in the forest.

Sorry for late answers. After some time, winter and summer, 0F and 40F versions. Mine works great. There is no pressure at all on the loft, so no worries about down compression.

I larksheaded small continuous loops from 1.75 dyneema through the hole for the carabiner. Now hanging the carabiners into the continuous loops. Much easier set-up and I really hope to be rubber band...
Bottom entry bugnet is safer. Just imagine. You open zippered bugnet on your hammock, you sit in the hammock. Just in these few moments, the bugs of the jungle are already there. Everytime you need...
I would strongly recommend to skip zippered bugnets and buy these right away. Bottom entry.

it is more to mountainfly, as it hasnt full doors …
We have been lucky enough for short period to welcome some bits of snow. And that was the time to take out the snowday camo equipment.

XLC wookies are for asym lay, and are not possible to flip. Default is head left, feet right. Reversed lay is head right, feet left. Decide before you buy :)
Not always the frost comes from your breath. I have many times slept right in the freezing cloud, and you get frost everywhere. The tarp is literally a piece of ice. And that is the time, I would...
mountainfly ;)
I am sorry :D

As some of you know already, there is a new player on the EU market with Warbonnet products. I think they have very good prices from the very beginning.
On top of that, they offer 10% discount...
in our woods over these days. No wind, warm sun, and the greatest variety of colors you can imagine.
...
Thank you all for comments :)
We were lucky enough to observe one of the most beautiful movies out there. The autumn is here and that is the sunrise time in our breech forests.
...
Actually I had to google what pop tart is :D We dont have those over here. But I might know that those land on your hammock table quite often :)
We dont have any parks dedicated for camping over here. There are protected areas, with more or less protection. However hammocking is not very spread over here, and I dont consider hammocking to be...
It is this one:

From what I know, it should be available on hammockgear.com shop on the other side of the ocean. I am very happy with this...
Few of the recent trips, we were happy to welcome the fog in the morning. Quite obviously, the autumn is opening the door.
...
Now you can see them on one picture in their natural habitat. If there would be a 4th person with us, there would be snowday camo too :)

Amazing, I need to visit this part of the world. There are some nice forests full of moss somewhere close :)
