Ok, who ever is going and will be there Saturday morning PM me. I am planning on coming to meet and hang out for a bit however for your well being I am congested and coughing and also snoring so I am...

Thanks for all the comments and Info. I will take this and figure out my next steps to insure I keep winter hiking. I have not hiked from March to November in years.

I have had a 3x5 Hotsnapz.com unit for 18 years and took it this trip just in case, I did need to use it however it wasn't fun every hour needing to address the feet. Being that it was so cold the...

I find that the lower 1-2 feet of my bag TQ area around my feet is cold to the touch all thru the night even with my UQ coverage being in that area tho. I do have a section of the bag that has the...

I was waking up almost every hour addressing the foot issue Saturday night. I will be doing something about it tho.

Well I made it back from a Cold and challenging weekend. My brother and I left Friday afternoon and started hiking at Dunncannon Pa. to do Section #8 heading North. Almost an inch of snow was on the...

I mean "access" point in that I live about 30 minutes or so from there and it's a normal hiking area. Turnpike I'm not real familiar with but there is not an exit for route 501. I would tell you to...

501 is like my "home access" point to the AT and we NEVER go there, We travel to other areas. I will keep an eye on this post and see for more information as this develops and try and fit this into...

What would be lowest temps you think these would keep you warm? I have a HG incubator 20 and always use my wife's 0 degrees down sleeping bag for weight because my synthetic is too heavy.
I...

It's a "Hammock Gear" Incubator 20 +1. It's amazing!!! I've been in 17 degree temps and warm

Current job had a delay in the project and it gave me a day off. I decided to head out on a solo hang and boy was it AWESOME. Temperature was 24 at night and while I was making dinner it started to...

We use a SF for our Bridge hammock as well

I JUST got mine today !!!! My wife laughed at me when I ran 80ft down the driveway to meet the mailman with the box and then ran back. Lol. A kid with a new toy she said.

Up until today (just got my inc 20+1 in mail today!!) I have used a Jarbridge 3 UQ into 26* weather and was comfortable so I personally can't imagine a quality HG "down" 20+1 incubator can't do that...

I actually called and asked and they said 3 wks is current wait. I ordered my Incubator 20+1 and can't wait !!!!

I set my foot end about 6" higher in my 11' hammock and I have a 83% RL. I don't slide at all.. I couldn't imagine 1-2'.
I also think laying at a good angle and getting the flat lay helps.

Xtherm is my choice. I didn't actually try out the winterlite however I compared as you did...The Xtherm and my 0* bag has kept me toasty at 27* and snow...It is thinner than the winterlite BUT i...

I've been doing winter hammocking with just the XTherm pad and a piece of reflectix "under" that. We have been down to 27* and I have been extremely warm, I had my 0* bag unzipped at the top to let...

I have used the Xtherm and a pc of reflectix down to 27* in my SLD DL 11' hammock. I have a old Rei Zenith 0* bag and I had the pad partly inflated as well. I was actually so warm I had the zipper...

I responded to your other post about #3 superfly ...I will take it

I will take it.......

Glad to see this post....been unhappy and had the jitters as well with the withdrawal of not seeing the FS section. If it wasn't for tapatalk I would hardly ever have the time to access this forum. I...

DO NOT use 4x4 posts.... I am 225#, I have a tree on one side and a post on the other, It is 2 ft in the ground and has a base of concrete 18" wide, It flexes ALOT !!! probably 6" or more....plays...

light parka....Question, you said XL modded to fit like L.. Is it sewn or hemmed in? I'm 220 and wear XL but I am concerned this wont fit then..

Hang in the house and get used to it, try a pad and see if it suits you, I can use a pad in mine however I don't mind the shifting around to get that sweet spot on the pad that said however my wife...

Just got my wife a WBRR and she prefers the lay and feel with my XTherm pad in it. She doesn't feel as squished. She still thinks the middle part comes inward on her but that I assume is the deisign....

I just bought the pole mod from Dutch and I LOVE IT !!!!! So much better than pulling them out with guy lines.

Thanks for the share and your pictures are awesome

When you use them both.?? I don't believe you should use anything with the UQ. You will mess with the dew point and could cause moisture in the UQ. Hopefully I am mistaken by your post.
I use a...

Five tango... I have the regular (trimmed unit)

I bought the Xtherm and LOVE it.. I have been it temps as low as 25* and I have an older Zenith 0* bag half open from the warmth. I got a Jarbridge 3, 3/4 length UQ for the wife because she doesn't...

I think I might "need" stuff from Dutch next week ....hahahaha

I had put up a hammock support in my son's room for him to get used to hanging. I finally put up my SLD and my wife's WBRR bridge up in our bedroom. We just got her the bridge and with her new to...

I live 4 miles from his office.....Imagine the problems I have keeping my vehicle on route to my original destinations without making a detour!!

Like Zukiguy said, the stuff from auto store worked great for me.

Welcome !!! Our daughter and Son in Law live in Claremore. We visit about twice a year and wanna move there in a couple years.

I put 4x4's in 20"+ deep and hang from tree to post and they flex a lot !!! I am 220lbs. I do counter balance w another hammock from same post to another tree when family hangs in the yard however we...

I apologize but I get confused with tracking the conversation back and forth but what is left of the Amsteel at this point please.?

Started with the Eno DN last November as well....now I have 2 SLD DL 11' Hammocks and a WB Ridge Runner Bridge Hammock...Oh yeah and 3 rain flys.. go to Dutch or Simply Light Designs you won't be...

My wife loved this commercial......She says she can relate. lol

LOL I couldn't stop laughing at that comment !!! I didn't notice that in the picture ! :lol:

When I got home from my 1st MAHHA, I really needed a nap and instead of getting a shower and unpacking I decided to lay down and my wife says I might have a problem. LOL. Is there a such a thing as...

Hey all, I just got my new Warbonnet SF and Kelty Noah 12 Tarps and set them up for a Family Hang this past weekend and I was wondering since they are bigger and cover more towards the ground do I...

Well we finally got all the new equipment out and did a evening of "schooling" and had a nice temporary no grass damaging fire to boot. Everyone slept well, the winds picked up really bad minutes...

I have an Eno Profly and have upgraded however my son uses the Profly with an 11' hammock and has coverage.
