Hi folks. I'm still learning the art of hammocking. I recently went on a trip with my son (who hammocked for the first time) and we had a couple of tight spots to hang. In both sites we actually...

Thank you all for that very helpful information. I really appreciate you all.

Any thoughts on a hammock for an 11 year old? My son is around 4'6" and still has some years of growing. I was thinking about a 10' hammock (Dream Hammock Darien). Would that be to long? How...

Hey Red, I hope you don't mind a side question not related to shock cords, though definitely related to high winds with large tarps with doors: did any of that wind manage to reduce the warmth of...

Thank you everyone, greatly appreciate the comments.

Hey folks, I'm still new to hammock camping, I have about 8 nights in (and LOVING it).

The other night I slept in the windiest conditions I've ever slept in. Lots of blowing sideways rain along...

Thank you both so much for your answers. Sorry it took me sooo long to get back. I really appreciate the info.

So a month or two ago I posted a few questions about getting a hammock setup and got so many valuable replies and I'm so grateful for that. I purchased a Dream Hammock Darien (11', 1.3, 64" wide)...

Yeah that will be the next piece of gear that I will research :) last night my feet stayed very warm in my footbox so I'm guessing 3/4 length would suffice, right? Might try to sew one using Costco...

In case anyone cares, I went with a ready to sell DH 11' Darien 1.3 mtn wide, which came out to 15.7 oz, some Kevlar straps for suspension @3.6 oz, and a Hammock Gear 11' tarp 7.3 oz. There are a...

Hey all, I received so much help on this forum in the past week or two and I'm very grateful. I just ordered a Dream Hammock Darien 1.3

I guess I'm confused by suspension options but am starting...

I keep coming back to that very thought :)

Thank you so much, greatly appreciate that quick response. Sounds like it could be a good option.

A follow up if you don't mind...but concerning the Dariens 1.3 Mtn fabric...do you have any insight on how that may compare to 1.6 from Dutchware? When I had been comparing DW hammocks I had settled...

Hello. I received a ton of help in a previous post and have looked at more options. Now I'm interested in learning more about how hammock width and fabric might affect my comfort and sleep. I've...

Thank you, appreciate your time.

Hello. I'm doing my research, trying to figure out a hammock system to buy. Right now I'm leaning to a DutchWare Chameleon.

Choosing a tarp seems to be as difficult as choosing a hammock.

My...

Alright, thank you. I think I've got a couple message chains going on with you at the moment, hope it's not to confusing. Is it difficult to replace the continuous loops?

Thank you. I've seen the UHMWPE straps mentioned before on other sites. Is that all I would need for suspension? Sorry, still trying to learn a lot before I make decisions.

Wow, so honoured to get a reply from you! I've been watching your videos for three days now! Thank you :)

Thanks for your response. Ok so my lack of knowledge is going to show here. I'm looking at the Autumn Ultralight site and I see the $10 becket loops. And then I see the 1.5 Spider Web straps on...

Thank you for the insights. And your comment on sleep style led me to think of something I hadn't considered yet. I like to sleep on my sides (and even stomach) and that isn't any different when...

Super helpful, thank you. The more I see comments like yours the more I'm inclined to go with 1.6. I also hadn't really considered going with a Fronkey bugnet and netless hammock but that is...

Perhaps but your insights are very valuable to me and I greatly appreciate the time you took to write all that out. That info was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Hello all, long time tenter here, never hammocked before. I've long been interested though, mainly for more options when camping out on backpacking trips and not being quite as limited to common...
