Well I've deliberated on this long and hard over the past few weeks and have come to the conclusion that for many reasons it would be wiser for me to return to ground. Namely no matter how much money I pour into this I can't really get comfortable or sleep well, secondly I have a bad knee which rules out backpacking for me, and thirdly I am moving from ultralight into motorcycle touring camping and well you just can't tuck an armored jacket, pants, boots, and a helmet in a hammock so for all those reasons I am going back to ground.
All of the gear here has been painstakingly cared for and only used 3-5 nights total. I understand there is a 3 item limit so once these go the tarp will go up too. I will list details as much as possible, all of this stuff is in like new/slightly used condition, none of it has any tears, damage, weird smells, stains, etc. It is all very well cared for as stated above and has been stored in it's own closet with my other backpacking gear upstairs in the office closet under dry air. All down items have been stored loosely in an undyed cotton sack, each item got it's own sack and only stored compressed when actually going into the pack the night prior. As I stated above total use for all of this is 3-5 nights. I feel I am pricing these items very competitively, I need to fund ground equipment again since I sold it all to fund this hammock venture. Attached first is an image of how the items were stored and then a few images per item. Please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] or PM me with any and all questions.

Next item is a Hammock Gear Burrow 20 Top Quilt. Outer shell is titanium gray and inner shell is burnt orange. I figured if I ever had an emergency the inner color could be used as a signal device and the gray and orange would lighten up a dark hammock. Anyway it's a standard length, standard width, and the footbox is of the snap and drawcord style. Also in the manufacture order I requested the snap area be reinforced to prevent tear out. Standard price is $250, I AM ASKING $200 + $15 SHIPPING.

And last item for now is the Hammock Gear Incubator 20 Under Quilt. Outer shell is cinnamon brown and inner shell is black. It is a short length, standard width, with 1oz of overfill. I am 5'6 and in the Blackbird this easily covered my entire body length. Standard price is $235 I AM ASKING $190 + $15 SHIPPING. For some reason I could not get the color to come through real well on the brown outer shell, probably brown couch against brown fabric not sure but it's a nice rich brown and very black interior. I suspect the tablet is over-exposing the images but have no idea how to correct. Just know that the colors in all these items are richer than they appear in images.

That's it for now, Hate to give up on the hammock thing but it's just not practical for me. Please feel free to PM or e-mail me. All shipping will be either USPS or UPS, tracking will be provided along with any special instructions the buyer prefers. I prefer Paypal for both buyer and seller protection, no checks, money orders, or weird stuff lol.
Thanks for your interest.
