I've hammocked a long time, but as I'm getting older (and wider), I'm finding it less enjoyable to get shoes on and get out of the hammock for the middle of the night bathroom run. It takes a lot of...

Every time that I decided to leave it home, I regretted it for one reason or another.

I prefer a bright color on the inside of an UQ so it’s more obvious if I’m going to miss sitting down in the hammock.

I've got the HG Winter Palace and the 11 foot length is length for me with an 11 ft hammock. As it is I already feel like the trees have to be far enough apart for it to fit. The extra coverage...

I realized I had the same thing going on but think I found the fix. If you unsubscribe from the FS forum and then resubscribe, it gives you three options for notification. Choose daily email. My...

I don't use an inflatable pad and prefer an underquilt. However, if you bring along a piece of tyvek or plastic material as kind of a groundsheet, you could do you rolling on that. It also is nice...

Beautiful.

Yes, I totally need one of those. Actually, I wouldn't get any work done, so maybe not a good idea. Already kicking myself about some things I probably should have accomplished today.

So, I think it's lucky timing that today's work closure due to the Nor'easter coincided with my UGQ order being processed. I knew from the queue it would likely be today, so I had UGQ TV on the...

I do use a Becket Hitch. If I wasn't using kevlar straps, I'd probably use some kind of Dutch Hardware, but their too slippery with the kevlar straps. BH works fine for me. I think all of the...

Greetings from Howard County.

I do. Yes. I feel a decent warmth improvement, although I miss being about to see out.

Wow. That graph is eye-opening. Thank you.

I'm sure the original one would be fine for you. I know some people have condensation freezing when getting sub 15*F, but in the south east you are probably above that and a top cover could add some...

Great. Thanks. I'm going to try to come with my two kiddos. Wish Rob could come too, but he'll be OOT.

I'm considering coming, but it will be my first time. I'm a little confused about making reservations. Do I just have to call Pine Grove Furnace and ask if there's still room at a certain group...

Good call on the color change.

You have me totally curious about what the offending combo was....

Not on mine specifically, but you can find it here:

However, the clips make me nervous a little and, had I realized the use of such things...

I have a Sparrow. 11-footer with net and topcover, quilt hooks, in Robic 1.7 XL fabric. I'm 250# presently and 5'7" and I find that fabric and length is very comfortable. If I were lighter I would...

I'd go with a 20* set and an under quilt protector to add a few degrees underneath. You can vent the 20* UQ in warmer weather. Shug just had a video about that....

When I first got into quilts I was afraid of humidity and went with Apex insulation. I've since switched over to down quilts and have no issues in humid Maryland summers. My trips have been...

I'm trying to tell myself right now that I don't need another hammock. Out of curiosity, though, how much does one side of zipper shave off the weight? Wondering how a similar version to the...

I have them on my DH Sparrow, but I have yet to use them netless, with net, or top cover. I’ve been meaning to see if I like them but have just been too lazy I guess.

Starting to get them instinct seeing since December. Very interested. They started with some sleeping bags for their stuffed animals....

Ordered one this afternoon. Psyched!

Has anyone every tried something similar but magnetic? I feel like I wouldn't enjoy trying to snap things back together in the middle of the night when it's dark and perhaps very cold. You know...

Well worth it. And I really appreciate how well this is moderated.

Interesting approach. There was one trip a long time ago before I learning about underquilts where I slept inside a similar emergency bivy-type reflective sleeping bag inside the hammock. I got so...

I'm very happy with my SLD Winter Haven. Great customer service.

Nice picture. I'll have to try pole mods sometime.

Thank you. Good to know. Do you happen to have a picture of your tarp setup?

Second time out with my new SLD Winter Haven tarp. Very happy with the additional privacy and wind blockage. I went with some Trail Dames on a one-nighter on AT near Weverton Cliffs. We setup Camp...

How about comfort rating? Curious if the 1.2 will work for me.

I want to make one. Great idea.

I'm very happy with mine from Hammock Gear.

FWIW, I knotted some little cord locks out some leftover cordage onto the hammock's loops. Now, I situate the loop above the knot, then I slide the cord-lock up in place. It's working really well and...

Took my DIY hammock out on it's maiden voyage this weekend. It worked great!

We still have the girls together in a small tent, which unfortunately became a big problem on the last night when it...

Tuckahoe State Park in Maryland. Not too exciting, but weather looks good.

Looks like a great trip. Thanks for sharing.

Looks great!

Thanks.

I sewed one side of the zipper to the front edge of the hammock. Then, I had my husband lay in my position, then I threw the mesh over top and pinned it all the way around, onto the top...

I wanted to make myself an 11 foot hammock with integrated bugnet. I'm graduating from my ENO doublenest and looking for a flatter lay. I ordered 1.7 Robic, 0.5 no-see-um, and amsteel. I also...

Beautiful. I'm looking forward to mine in Red Buffalo Check. #5496 . Can't wait! :)

Dutch's Half-Wit hammock?


Or Dream Hammock Darien?

Not me. We have a sleep number bed and I add 4" of memory foam on top. Feel like I'm sleeping in a cloud. A hammock is the next best thing, but I love my bed.

Congrats! I'm really looking forward to mine. Hard to wait! :)

We camp MD state parks every month for 3 seasons of the year and have never had a problem hanging. We have done it in Susquehanna, Cunningham Falls, Greenbrier, Tuckahoe, and Patapsco. We keep most...

I agree with you mcbpdx. I also started with a 100% ENO setup. Now I added Dutch Amstel, some Dutch hardware, upgraded the fly to cuben, added a Warbonnet bug net and enlightened equipment quilts....

Thanks, ZigZag
