Agreed. You know they use high quality zippers on other items, but for whatever reason.....

Agreed. You know they use high quality zippers on other items, but for whatever reason.....
I neglected to note that I carefully read the WB website regarding the use of their UQ. They want you to use ( & buy) the Lynx, not the Yeti, which is what I have. In the real world, the Yeti...
I don’t often review my gear purchases, but I too just bought and used my WBRR last weekend. This is my 4th Hammock, the first 3 were traditional GE hammocks. I felt I would like the bridge, but...
Hey all. I too wanted the Banyan, put my name on the notification list. I even called & had a conversation regarding possible timing, and was told to expect April. I was told it was about...
Just to add/ update on this topic. I recently placed an order for a WB Thunderfly Tarp, and asked to include the Side Pull Pole Kit ( the two bars over the top), which is shown on their TF Photo and...
Thanks to all. It’s looking like I will go SLD, 13’ and take the guesswork out of things. Probably, maybe, might make the Dutch 12’6” work, but since the SLD is ready and available, and it’s what...
Dutch offers a 12’6” Single Mesh Snake Skin. I have a 13’ WB Silpoly Thunderfly. It seems so close, only a 4” difference. I want it to work, if not perfectly, at least practically. Does anyone...
Chop: I’m intrigued by your packing, and it sounds like it should work in most situations. Who wouldn’t want more space, less weight and stuff sacks.... I would ask about your food storage,...
I’m looking for some user insight on which lightweight bridge is preferable. The older, established WB RR or the newly designed Dutch Banyan. I know Dutch’s production is currently on hold,...
I made a direct contact with REI, and was told simply that the product is no longer available. No further comment or discussion. Oh well, I can stop looking.
Any word on when the Banyan Bridge will be back in production? I’m assuming it’s all about the pandemic and the inability to obtain the necessary parts &/or material.
Thanks all. Your thoughts were my thoughts, I was just looking for confirmation. And yes, I’ll call REI just to hear them say it’s gone or whatever.
Whatever happened to the REI Quarter Dome Air Hammock? Are they still offering this bridge hammock?
Can’t seem to find it anywhere.
Hey all, I’d like to reach out to anyone using the WL Lite Owl Hammock. I’ve had mine for a couple of years, purchased shortly before Marty passed away. I admit that I’ve never quite dialed in...
A big thanks to all who responded to my post. After much research, deliberation and thinking, I had the opportunity this week to visit with Marty @ Wilderness Logics in NC. It's great to support...
Peppy, thanks. I'll check out Wilderness Logic. And good news, they are located just up the road from me in NC. Might have to make a visit.
Shug, I'm going with lack of talent. I mean, look at my profile picture. I can't even get that straight.
Seriously, I try, but I just can't make it happen.
I own a perfectly good WBBB, no complaints. It's about 7 years old, and very so often I get the urge to check out the new stuff. Many years ago the choices were much more limited, and other the...
Thanks all. I will wait & see what that weekend's weather offers. I can always take my 0 sleeping bag, vs. the 30, and with all my other items I am sure to be warm. I've got all the gear, in...
Hey all, I've done a bit of winter hiking, mostly using my tent(s). I intend to head out in Feb. ( Ohio ) and can expect anything from 10 to 35 degree nights. So..... Using my WBBB Hammock and my -0-...

Back in November I had every good intention of being at the MRWH, but schedules change, even for us retired guys. Alas, I'm no longer free in mid January. Enjoy another great winter hike at a...
Yup, it will happen, per HomeRun. Exact, final, late Jan. Dates TBD! Stand by for more.
Guys, I've known for some time I would not be able to make this years hang in Jan. I had a great time last year as we experienced all the weather that old mountain could muster. I traded my...
I'll just be back from my Fall AT section hike, so I'd love to join you all in the Deam. However I'm already committed to run the Indy Monumental Marathon the same weekend. Busy, busy.
Sorry I can't make this one. Golf tourney all weekend. Have fun.

Sorry, I'm out... family coming in for the weekend. I hope you have good weather. Next time!
yea, we get that a lot here in Indiana! :rolleyes: Have fun wherever you'll be hanging out.
Ewker: Some of your old Indiana buddies should be there, Salem, Crash Bang, Randall.... and many more. :lol:
There is a group heading to the Deam on Friday Feb. 8th... Any HF members would be welcome to join. Pretty basic weekend hike... meet at the Firetower Friday around 5:00 PM.. hike in to the...
Thanks everyone. I know this is not revolutionary stuff, but I'm fast heading toward a whoopie sling sytem. You all make it pretty clear..
:cool:
Quick question. After seeing numerous posts/threads about Whoopie slings.... Note that SlowBro's thread is up to 852 replies, so WS must be the thing. I have not adjusted the WBBB suspension...
No Mike. A real disappointment.
It's true. Everything you've read so far. Weather, new friends, good hiking. Fantastic raffle. Great food. Photo ops all around. I must say I was so impressed by the shear number of hangers...
Pak Man just said what I was about to say... I'm no KT expert, but have been on most sections enough to know these are the most challenging miles in Indiana. I would only take on the KT if I was in...
Still fresh from the fantastic potluck fest at MRHO.. nothing says yummy quite like "Spotted **** & Braised Fabio". :boggle: I guess you had to be there. Enjoy the weekend!
All geared up & ready to go. I'm up & on the road early, expecting to be at Massie Gap lot around 1:00. Plan is to either meet up with others or if no one is around to hike to Wise on the AT. See...
The weather is looking good for hiking/hanging, but I reckon we all need to be careful in driving to Virginia. I already know I'll love those West Virginia mountain miles on Thurs morning.
...
As Bonsaihiker so elequently stated, I too am ready to rock & roll. Packed, back up packed, misc. packed, truck gassed & ready. Putting it in the garage Wed. night, up & out early early Thurs.AM,...
Okay... this is a been there, done that response. I too floundered about on my BA Aircore.. No good. BUT, then I changed Hammocks, now have the WBBB, with a sleeve. I always insert my 1/4...
I have so much to learn! :rolleyes:
Long term temps are looking pretty moderate at this time. Of course things change quickly, but I'm rooting for cool & dry. Snow would be a bonus. ;)
14 days from now we'll be living the good...
The decision has been made... I'm in. I just don't know all my final logistics, but that will follow. :boggle:
I must say I'm getting a bit excited about possible trips/hikes in Jan. &/or Feb., since Winter weekends tend to be less complicated. Not sure if I'm going to hang or go to ground, but I do want to...
Fellow Ohio and Eastern Indiana hangers... as things have developed I will not be available for this potential weekend hang in Hueston Woods State Park. I hope you all get a few to join and have a...
Doctari: Sorry, I did not mean to put you in the lead.. I know it's WonderMonkies hang, and I hope he jumps back in to coordinate everything. I also know that we have a few days to go, so nothing...
Doctari: at this time, not knowing if this is still a go or not, not knowing how many will attend or other details, I will say that I am a strong maybe. I will also say that it's likely I will...
Is the Houston Woods Hang still a happenin.... :shades: I may be able to join, but I would like to know more details... any hiking? or just car camping/hanging? I don't know much about HW...
I am most certainly interested. Usual busy spring with business, road races, golf tourneys, so it's all about catching the right weekend. I'm hopeful it will work out! :cool:
I hope you all have/had a good time this weekend. I was at the ruins in March, and we had a great time. I'm looking forward to a good trip report!;)
