I'll take it.
I got my econ quilts about a month ago and haven't used them. But I got them out today, and, you are correct, they do have a distinctive odor. I don't think that would bother me much with the...
I believe the smell of duck down was an issue at one point, but has since been resolved. I think that came up in an interview with Hammock Gear.
I have both. You can’t go wrong with either. The premium is exactly that, premium fabric and incredibly soft goose down. But, practically they aren’t much different. If you don’t care about the...
I had a similar experience the first night using an under quilt. In my case I had over cinched the ends of the quilt thinking it would help close any gaps where cold air might enter. It turns out...
I’ll take it.
I had a similar positive experience around the same time. I don’t think my OES tarp is necessarily better than most (I use a warbonnet MJ now) but after riding out some crazy storms under the Maccat,...

1.1 DL Warbonnet blackbird in excellent condition. Free shipping to continental US/PayPal only.
I purchased this from the forum a couple of years ago. It's only been used a few times and very...
Thanks for all the advice! Super helpful. We were having a hard time deciding which areas to visit, but this gives us good direction.
I would love some advice for an upcoming trip to Zion National Park. My wife and I will be staying at the Zion Canyon Campground for three days in October. We are from Kentucky and this will be our...
Welcome to the forums, from louisville.
Old Creek, you are very wise. The lay in a paid for hammock is always more relaxing.
Thanks to a written budget and debt free attitude, my wife has never commented on my purchases.
SOLD locally. Mods please close.
Quick bump before I send this hammock back for a refund. If you missed out on the Shug Discount, this is another chance to get a great deal on this hammock. From what others have written, the REI...
I don't mind sleeping on the ground, but I hate the plastic floor of a tent.
Returning it is plan B. I thought I would offer it here first, so Amok wouldn't have to repackage and resend. I was using a long/wide REI stratus. It's a very nice hammock, and I was especially...
For sale is an Amok Draumr 3.0 with tarp.
This was one of those things I had to try out, but ultimately I found the sleeping pad to be less comfortable than an underquilt. It's in perfect...
No camp sites, but I spent a lot of time in this park when I lived in Burlington, KY. Middle Creek Park
I've spent a few nights out there, but it's probably frowned upon.
I think Big Bone...
I'm getting ready to place an order but I'm still curious whether I should get the amok tarp or not. I like the extra width of my current tarp, and its lighter. Has anyone ordered just the hammock,...
Enter me (and my son) in the giveaway. So cool. Thanks...
Has anyone set this up using a different tarp? My Warbonnet Mamajamba is about 5" shorter on each side (ridgeline to bottom of tarp) compared to the Amok tarp. Is that not enough coverage?

Welcome from the Ville.
Welcome! I just spent a week in Krakow. Beautiful country.
Sold to Luhutchi
I have a black Mountain Hardware Down Vest that is in excellent condition. Size Large. I have never worn it because it is too big for me. It comes with the stuff sack. I believe it is 650 goose...
Warbonnet Traveler, Eno, and Grand Trunk are in your price range and durable. I don't think spending over $100 on a hammock is going to get you a more durable hammock. You are usually paying more...
Welcome to the forum! Good choice on the BB.

I've used a small magnet for the same purpose. I stuck it to the metal base next to the presser foot. I had to topstitch a bunch of canvas straps, and this gave me nice straight stitches.
I wouldn't be too concerned about the durability of silnylon. My OES Deluxe Maccat has weathered some incredible storms, including golf ball sized hail. I've seen the wind try to rip it apart and...
+1 for the dutch CRL.
I use cinch buckles instead of whoopie slings. If I didn't use dutch clips (or carabiners) I would have to unthread the buckles everytime I set up or took down the hammock. In that case, they are...
I'll take it.
Not sure if this helps your situation, but something like this might help. I can understand your concern about someone walking off with your pack at an event like a music festival. A full tarp with...
Ripcurlksm,
When I first got my 20 degree incubator I slept in my backyard in about 30 degree weather. I was cold the entire night. The next night, I adjusted the suspension and was still cold. ...
No. They are very similar tarps. I used the same ridgeline and tie outs on the mamajamba that I had on the maccat deluxe.
I love my maccat deluxe. I've weathered some pretty crazy storms, one which included golf ball sized hail!
However, I have the mamajamba from Warbonnet now. At less than an ounce heavier, a few...
Couldn't be happier with my 10.5 foot "prototype" Breezy from Hammeck.com. I love the feel of the ACU camo fabric. I have a feeling I'll be purchasing a netty in time for the bug season.
Just want to point out what a great deal this is. I personally like the 10.5 foot option and the ACU fabric is excellent. It has a softer feel than most ripstop fabric. The craftsmanship is top...
Welcome neighbor...
Lots of good advice and opinions on here that will help narrow your search.
I've had a similar problem. The way the incubator is cut (at least the one I have), there is a tight spot that forms just below the butt, where it transitions to the legs. I've noticed this when I...
+1 for Dutch's. I've use both and the 101's are much easier to adjust.
BTW: You can get the cinch buckles in black or silver on Dream Hammock's site. You have to buy the strap with it though.
Took me a minute, but I finally got it. The maccats are all hexagonal.
I've ridden out some crazy storms under my maccat deluxe.
With the netty, can you choose between a left or right lay?
Arrowhead equipment sells rings in different colors as well. They are at the bottom of the page.
