Such a beautiful place for a hang! Wonderful photos, as always. Well done, buddy.
It seems like you have it positioned in opposite direction, but perhaps I'm confused. I can't imagine that spreader bar working for you if it isn't being pulled almost directly along its axis,...
Made a few mistakes with a quick getaway last night, but dodged the bullets - more or less. Since the weather was amazing, not to drop below 50-deg, I decided to go get some free therapy at my...
If you had them loosely stored in a "storage bag" or large compression sack (or just a big trash bag) in your car/trunk, it would be quick and easy to compress it when time to pack it and hike in for...
Thanks for the video. Hope your operation and recovery go well. You're in good hands down in Rochester. Stay sane during your "silent treatment" - I think you'll find ways to communicate just fine!
I would imagine there is real potential for it making small changes to how the hammock can adjust shape, potentially helping with calf ridge. Size of the CL might affect those results, too. It is...
I’m no expert but it seems with your height you might want that wider fabric. But perhaps 66” is enough width for you to be comfortable. At my height of 5’11” I’m comfy in a Warbonnet Traveler XL...
Had a nice night around the fire with you guys. But had a race to get to the next morning an hour away, so I'm sorry I wasn't able to stay up or be there for another night. I'm just glad it worked...
Love the photos and glad there's another new hammock-er now enlightened by swinging bliss in the wilderness!
This article from Enlightened Equipment offers a rating calculator for when you combine two quilts/bags. I've not verified it but I hope it provides some useful info for how effective layering...
Got it. the pond is near campsite 6 at the end of the Terrill Ridge trail? Hope I can join for that Friday!
I don't have directions but am considering joining for Friday, as I might be biking the Nebo Ridge trail Friday. Is the Pond in that same area? or Charles Deam Wilderness? or elsewhere?
Thanks
I bought some nice and inexpensive rings recommended here. https://www.slingrings.com/
Didn't realize I would have trouble figuring out how to get it attached to my WBRR and WBBB (traveler...
Thanks for sharing the video. Sounds like an awesome trip. Did you do a gearlist online somewhere?
I do a similar strategy for winter (and sometimes other seasons). I like the speed and simplicity of the setup with my SLD winter sleeve. I also like that I don't end up forgetting something (once...
My guess is the R-Value is probably on the lower (and cheaper) side to cover the spring / fall but not the winter. It would be miserable to use winter insulation in the summer and it's a costly...
Nice job using up all of what you had around, but above all, it is a superb combination of function and style! You oughta be proud!
Wow looks like you had a very successful first big project! I'm guessing fabric costs are very variable, but what do you think this project cost you when all said and done (zippers, etc)?
I thought you were joking, but wow that's impressive. Dutch sure does impress with his creativity and tenacity at thinking through a problem all the way to the finish line. nice work!
guarantee he will be sleeping on the ground for a month - the most suitable of punishments. =)
I admire your courage and it sounds like you have the experience to make it a great first go. Sleeping suspended is the best in my book!
You have a talent, and you definitely found the right time and place to use it on that trip!
Thank you!
I have the zippered footbox on my WB UQ and am happy with it. I added the "plug" that cougarmeat mentioned and it works fine. Like you stated, the versatility is nice but it makes more sense for...
Thanks for sharing a great video, beautiful views, and an important story that will help us all to hike safely out there.
I've got a Tensa Solo but only tried it twice in backyard (Northern Indiana, fall) and couldn't get it to work. Have any of y'all tried it with the Dutchware spiral stakes? Would those work for solid...
Absolutely gorgeous photography! Thanks for sharing your art - it helps to fuel our desire for getting outdoors and discovering the beauty around us.
I'll take it.
Just what I need to be equipped for a second setup - hoping to get my friends into hammocks too!

I don't know about making one of these UQPs but was surprised to see the price of one from WB's website - which probably isn't using Argon fabric but can't tell for sure. cougarmeat seems to...
The bugnet! Yes! Thanks HarveyM for the reference and final answer, and to others who had good ideas which I was also considering but still left a little baffled.
When the bugs are back, that will...
Another question about this 13' WB Superfly of mine.
It has two hook points on ridgeline inside (maybe 3-4ft from end of ridgeline?). I have no idea what these are for. Can anyone help with...
Thanks for replies so far everyone.
Who has experience with using both side pull-out options: (1) the traditional guylines and stakes compared to (2) the bars/trekking poles? I wonder what the...
My bridge hammock (WBRR) is growing on me, but I have to learn how to set up my new tarp to accommodate it safely for the winter season. My new 13' Superfly is now seam-sealed, thanks to all of you...
Fun story from trying to set up my Tensa Solo for the first experiment in my backyard. Was hoping it would work with some regular y-style stakes... Bad idea.
So I kind of found a new way to lose a...
How important is open and loose storing for synthetics? I understand compressing down feather is a big problem. Do synthetics behave different if stored compressed?
(I'm new to hammocks - and...
I will take one underquilt/sock/sack combo at the new price - preferably brown/dark green/light green. Please PM me with details. Thanks!
