I discovered hammocked in my late 40s and now am 53. I wonder what took me so long, and there is no going back to tent camping for this guy.
I’m curious how durable a fabric this light would be over say a thru hike of the AT
I have an easy solution. Just call it ein Hängematt. German for Hammick! 😝
I used to use a sub 3 lb tent like something from REI if I knew I had no trees around. Now that I am over 50, I avoid going to ground at ALL costs. After being in a hammock I will NEVER go back to...
I'm curious how long and wide that hammock is. It appears shorter than 11'. Once you upgrade to an 11'er and maybe go 58-63" on the width of the hammock, you may find the torque issue resolved. ...
As Tony Soprano once said" I never piss where I sleep". I Paraphrase, but that is besides the point.
I agree with the OP and have thus used snakeskins for my tarp and oversized REI stuff sacks for my quilts. I bought an extra large custom german flag bishop bag with my DH sparrow, and use it to...
Nice work! This is way more compact and less fiddly than my turtle dog stand. I may have to build one myself for those clear cut camp sites.
A silver lining to the local school closures, due to the ongoing Chinese virus pandemic, is that I am finally able to get some quiet hammock time during football season. My backyard is a stone's...
It looks like you could park a mid size SUV under Dutch's 2 person tarp if you were able to hang it high enough!!
I didn't know Rain Man, but the way everyone here is sounding off about him, he was a great guy. RIP Rain Man, and it is indeed a sorrow to lose one of our own here. Hike and Hang on in the...
I use the time tested marlin spike hitch without fail every time using the UHMWPE straps. I'd never use it with hardware due to potential slippage.
That is pretty cool about the history of southern AZ.. I'd like to visit there someday, Probably in December or January to avoid the extremes of heat,....that is once 'Rona is kaputt.:scared:
If Chesapeake goes I will go. This darn Chinese virus is really mucking everything up, eh? I miss the pre virus hangs.

Nice to hang out at the beach in a Dream Hammock. I may not see that hammock again! Lol!

welcome to the forum. I don't know where you can hang down there in southern AZ as you have no trees....just those saguaro cacti. I suppose you use a stand. Sedona has many places to hang as they...
As the aggressive time share dude once said......."May I say Welcome to our club? Welcome to our club!" except this time you did actually join!!!:lol:
That is hardcore! What Rerun said....JK...HYOH!
One more thing is that a quality cottage hammock has high resale value posted on the HF For Sale forums whereas the cheapo amazon hammock has practically no value or interest for HF members browsing...
Hopefully COVID wont rain on this party! Perish the thought!
I assume you don't hammock camp much during the summer humidity and bug months!! It's been too hot to hang for me in Maryland where I live.
Cedarville state forest has nice hammock sites.... That is located in Prince Georges County.
Remember to hang on the knot....Not the toggle....( in SHUG slow-MO)
The OG urban Hanger / Swinger is the Amazing Spider Man. I suppose I would hang a hammock in a city park with trees on a short term basis while picnicking but not overnight camping, as I would fear...
I feel lucky to have stumbled onto HF and by association Shug's you tube videos where he has generously shared his knowledge, humor, and entertained countless people of all kinds, and generally is...
FWIW, I like having a zipper on BOTH sides of hammock in order to adjust the UQ in the middle of the night as needed. The net wall prevents this option of adjusting the UQ. That said, I am mostly a...
What the **** does Forbes know about hammocks....Clearly click bait and their opinion of what constitutes best is generated by recommendations of paid shills. Hammockforums.net provides the best...

Of course the choice depends on when covid lifts and if the airlines haven’t furloughed all of their pilots by then...I agree with Silver Surfer about the beauty of the AT. Section hiking is best. If...
Hangin in place...Gotta love this!
Silly me. I didn’t look at your location only to realize you are in continental Europe. Maybe check out the german hang forum Hängematte.de for a hang in Germany. Not sure this is the best time to...
I’ve been pleased with my double layer sparrow. I’d recommend going to a local hang or if you live close enough to a cottage vendor, to see and demo the gear in person. There are many hammocks that...
Shug, you Are indeed a True modern renaissance man. I appreciate all you do on this forum and generally making our world a better place. I also enjoy RC planes but don’t quite have all the space as...
Looks good. I wonder if Dutchware gear will make a bridge hammock that can handle 350 lbs..I just prefer to have a hammock that is overbuilt just because I am close to the 250 mark and I prefer a...
"Can’t get my tarp Taught, or prevent it from interfering with my hammock suspension." Maybe send your tarp to school to get taught? Rather maybe make your tarp taut! Sorry, the English teacher in...
These would make a nice screen saver background!
Will you be selling prints of these? I really like the 1st and second ones of your Greenbean hammock and the one of the bloke napping! I can relate!
I guess I am not the only one who though of the Deliverance reference!! Squeal like a pig Boi! LOL
Frank Lloyd Wright Falling Water or near there. Also Kentuck Knob, 7 Springs Resort, Nemacolin Woods, Deep Creek Lake MD are some places I have been. Can't say how hammock friendly they are but...
One real downer about cold weather use of a Cpap unit is that you have to use non heated breathing tubes meaning you are breathing in super cold air. Ideally Cpap use is above freezing. The Cpap...
What's next? Tape Worms? LOL. I like my Dutch bling though, especially the Wasp, Dutch hook, and dutch clips.:cool:
Welcome to the DMV. Uphill just organized a cool event at Marsden Tract in Potomac MD. Check out the trip report for photos. A Great time was had by all. Uphill even schlepped in his Dutch Oven to...
Would this mat be able to fit in between a dual layer hammock like the dream hammock in much the same way as a piece of CCF would or is it too bulky to do that?
Very nice photos, and a great location for the outdoors. Our hang on the Potomac river this past weekend was 21F, so I would have gladly taken your 30ish degree temps!! That said, my wife opted out...
Just wanted to give a shout out to HF member Uphill for organizing this event. We had clear butt cold weather for Friday night. I only stayed Friday night of the weekend hang due to my Cpap battery...
Ever consider the multifunction versatility of the JRB Sniveller where it can also be used as a down serape when you get up in the morning? It's nice to have a down serape in the morning. The...
I use a medistrom Pilot 12 lipo battery with my resmed system one minus the humidifier...It is my backup system I use when camping. Its good for a night and a half. I may get another battery for...
That's not a Spork.... THIS.....is a SPORK! - Croc Dundee
That hat...looks good on you though! Do you a get a free bowl of soup with that hat! LOL
That is great news Dutch! So glad you can do this. You are a beacon of light to our hobby.
