Do you have pictures? Is anything missing to set this up beside straps? How old is it (ie which version?) Thank you!!
That's super encouraging thanks. It is indeed a Thunderfly so good to know the ridgeline probably didn't sustain damage. One thing though- If I tensioned those lines too much enough to snap the...
I don't have time to respond to everyone right now, thanks for the helpful comments though! I had no clue I wasn't supposed to tighten my tarp lines to the max, now I'm worried I've damaged a new...
Um... are you all implying that I'm lying about the source of my ridgeline? It is 1.75mm blue Zing-It as listed on the page I bought it from......
I ordered the tarp pole mods from Autumn Ultralight, I don't know anything about DIY rope stuff and don't have time to learn at the moment so I'm happy she's making these. I attached them to my...
Anything unique about the second bridge hammock? Learning curve? Wondering if it would be a good first buy for that style, I'm pretty new to the hammock world so forgive my ignorance. I am 5'10"...
No worries! If Rhonda wants to read it before sending, she's more than welcome to
Hey hammock people, Pollard here. Just wanted to say thanks for letting me join the hang this weekend, was exactly what I needed. Look forward to hopefully doing it again in the fall!
Also- I left...
I will also be getting there kinda late tomorrow evening, so I guess several of us will be setting up in the dark. Hopefully I don't get lost. I also wanna see one of those tensa stands in action,...
Phantom- sounds great, looking forward to it
So weird- I made this post and it said it was submitted, then it disappeared!
Anyway... I will definitely be there on Friday night and most likely Saturday night as well. Just wanted to say that...
Shug- I've definitely already watched those videos, I mentioned above that I used their basic tarp video for the first guylines. And I configured my tarp ticks per their video as well. I guess my...
Hello all! I got into hammock camping this year and bought a beautiful purple silnylon Thunderfly, and yes I only picked silnylon because silpoly didn't come in purple :lol:
Anyway- It came with 8...
Your tarp is one beautiful creature, hope it serves you well. My purple Thunderfly is a little darker, so it looks almost black from the outside but inside with the sun shining its bright purple!
...
Oh wow that sounds beautiful. Hope you know you are obligated to pay the hammock tax when it arrives ;)
I'm pretty tech-savvy but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to insert pictures on this forum from my tablet last night... So here they are!

My favorite color is purple, and I wanted to share my beautiful Chameleon with my fellow enthusiasts for the regal shade in case it was lost in the "Chameleons in the Wild" thread. I hadn't seen...
Not to be offensive, I totally love humans of all ages. But I'm curious as to whether there are any others in their 20's that attend these things, or if I'll be the odd man out. Cool with it either...
I ended up just tying off to the end caps... I know its not ideal but seems pretty darn stable. Anyway, next step is figuring out how to hang my hamock with its CRL on this thing and maybe adding a...
I did have a drill at the time on loan but I don't now and was hoping there was a way I could do this without drilling holes through the metal, which I'd seen on yours and others. I'm sure there's a...
Since idk how to use forums apparently, pictures:183927183928183929
Hello! I am new to the hammock world and VERY new to the DIY world, so I was hoping someone here could help. I recently built a turtledog stand and pretty happy with the results, but I don't have a...
Got it marked on my calendar, hopefully will make it out there and learn some stuff from yall :)
Thought I'd show off my new Chameleon and Thunderfly tarp here! I'm new to the hammock camping world and really appreciate this community. Can't wait to test it out in the woods!!
...
Shug- I totally didn't realize that the quilt is supposed to be at the shoulders and not under my head, will have to see if that makes a difference next time I get a chance to setup. The left side in...
BillyBob58, I really appreciate your words of encouragement and planning to reply to you in depth later once I get a chance to weigh the quilts. Just wanted to drop some pics of the underquilt...
[QUOTE=soul embrace;2041674]which underquilt did you get the stormloft or the lofttech hybrid?
The underquilt is the stormloft and topquilt is loftek. The underquilt compresses down really well,...
Just wanted to update- I camped out one night last week in my parents yard with the down under quilt & synthetic top quilt (in Mississippi for context). After drying with tennis balls and migrating...
That's good to hear. I have definitely seen several good reviews so I'm hoping you're right. Definitely not trying to bash the company, especially without giving them a chance first.
Well it's currently looking to be about 1.5" thick max... New issue- Tried attaching it and had to stretch it to maximum length to attach to other end. It is so tight that it pulls the hammock up to...
Ok I didn't post them right the first time so... second try
Wow I actually got a reply from Shug, that's a nice Christmas gift. Thanks for the encouragement guys and Phantom - that might be a good solution to save time if Outdoor Vitals refuses to do so. I'm...
Hello all, hope you're having a relaxaed + safe holiday experience. I am going to make a separate introduction post to rave about my appreciation for my new Chameleon and Thunderfly setup as well as...
What was your experience with this contraption? I've been flirting with the idea of getting one for the backyard/car camping and maybe use the solo on short backpacking trips. But I'm pretty new to...
Dang, I live 20 minutes away and missed this... I'm new to this and was hoping to try out some of the hammock options before I sprung for a nice one.. Does anyone know when yall might be doing this...
