Very nice - now I want one! It never stops... :lol:
Hammock camping or tent camping, it's only a thin nylon barrier. I've been doing it for years, not much bothers me anymore. Camped solo and with groups many times. Snoring is the worst thing out...
I have a Sparrow that I got about a year ago. The craftsmanship is outstanding, very comfortable and just really an outstanding product. Here are pic's and all the details.

In my opinion, Tyvek kind-of sucks as a tarp. I get the idea to save a few bucks but jump on ripstopbytheroll.com and pick up a kit ready to sew for not much more. I have a Tyvek chunk that I use...
I have an Econ and it rocks! I don't think you will missing anything but an once or two. Get one!
I really like these. I have had one in my pack since my early search & rescue days. They are great for repairing a seam or tear in your gear. Your not going to want to try to make something with...
Tip down handle up for me. Just wrap the line around the handle a time or two and stake out as normal. Works every time.
Thanks everyone, I appreciate it.
Heading up to the Flagstaff area this month for the 1st time and looking for recommendations for a nice place to camp/hang for the weekend. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!
I tried it and it worked but tore right away. I made a pair from a pattern I found online here and they work just fine.
Oh heck yes there are! Had a great group hang in March in the Cleveland National Forest with something like 50 local hangers. Good times were had by all. There out there, try to get to a group...
I love that place! Was there over 20 years ago and I have always wanted to go back. I need to revisit this for sure! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL place!
Where's the "like" button! When all else fails, bury it. LOL

Kind-of had the same problem but I solved it. I had an ENO double nest and it had to much stretch for a guy just under 250, it was tough to get out of but still comfortable to chill in. I felt like...
In addition to a cotton shoelace, I put a couple of twist in my straps (kind-of like a corkscrew) which helps drop the water off the strap prior to the water getting to the cinch-buckle. If water...
Thanks Huckleberry, I love that part of the Country and visit regularly. Looks like this will be my next trip, the ruins look very cool to explore.
My hammock friends, I need you assistance. I have a new 11' DH Sparrow which has a SRL. The problem I'm having (or maybe it's not a problem) is when I hang my Sparrow, which by the way I can get...
NICE! I want to do this trip, mind sharing the name of the location? :D
Thanks^^^

My wife has an 30 year old Singer machine that I used recently to make my first DIY project - a zippered bug net. The machine worked great and I noticed it has the option to use a double needle. I...
Amazing trip and GREAT report!
Looks like you hit everything - I prefer the zippered pocket, harder for items to fall out and still very easy to access. Ridgeline Gun pocket??

Enjoyed the report! I'm not far from there, might give it a hang sometime. Stands seem like a good option here, time for me to breakdown and build one.

Nope 100% sure it was site 0 - it's just to the right of the registration area. What I meant was way in the back of site 0 is three amazing pines which we hung from.

This is site 0 at blue jay way in the back.

Thanks for the location suggestion bobamos, my daughter and I went up yesterday and enjoyed a quick overnighter hanging in the trees. ...
Yep I figured he meant Blue Jay and I did hit the Palomar website and saw where they say nothing attached to trees. Thanks Bizzz!
Ohh Blue Bird sounds nice! I'll check that out.

Hey thanks for the suggestions! Leaning towards Palomar I think.
Yes. It is black on the outside and gray on the inside. It was an early option that was in-stock but went very quickly on day 1 when they were released.
My HG Econ Incubator showed up today!! Quick trip to the park over lunch to see how it fits. [emoji3] I think I like this thing!! ...
I will be taking my college age daughter hammock camping during Spring Break for a couple of days. She has never been but is very excited to go. I want to be sure she has a good first experience so...
InReach here as well. Works great!

Nice! I had one of those days recently and I'm loving my Sparrow!

PERFECT! Thank you for clarifying!
Taken from the Massdrop page. They say it's filled with UltimaDOWN. Not sure what UltimiaDOWN is. Synthetic or real Goose/Duck down??

I was wondering what the heck UltimaDOWN was that is used in their quilt. From what I could find on Google, it appears to be a down alternative just so your aware. I don't think it's the real deal...

I have a pair from Kat and love them! Durability??? Not sure, it's no-see-um so not the strongest stuff out there but no problems with mine. Your mileage may differ.

Very nice video! Good Job!
Noah 12's are great tarps and Kelty's warranty is pretty darn good to. I had a leak in an old Noah and they sent me a new one no questions asked. Made me a believer for sure!

My Sparrow top cover vents perfectly for me. Seeing out: I just unzip a bit and take a look see out. I'm wondering if a large mesh window would defeat the whole purpose of the top cover anyway. ...
WOOT is where Amazon sells their leftovers. It's owned by Amazon I believe.
