SOLD! Thanks!
Warbonnet Edge Tarp
Warbonnet Edge in olive/brown. Includes original Warbonnet stuffsack.
Ready to hang with the following add-ons:
(1) Tarp ridgeline made from ZingIt and a Dutch titanium...
Thanks! Burrow sold, too!
Underquilt and hammock are SOLD. Thanks, Meekin!
Under quilt also sold pending funds. Thanks!
Danger bird is sold pending funds.
SOLD -- Hammock Gear Burrow 20
20 degree top quilt. Snap footbox. No overfill, regular length, regular width. Black outside, black inside. Includes HG stuff sack. purchased 3 years ago. Stored...
For guy lines I have self-tensioning lines I made with 1/8" shock cord and mason's line (was a prototype, but they worked so well, I never rebuilt them with any other cord). Bowline in one end that I...
I started hammock camping when my son was a Cub Scout. Our pack camped a LOT (they still do, though we've moved on to Boy Scouts now). He started it (can't remember how he found out about it), but...
Sold to Seccleston!
Thanks!
The pack is really mostly black, but with parts of it being multicam.
Here are some pics of the pack:

Unexpected repairs on my old SUV have prompted the sale of some gear, starting with this backpack.
I'm selling my new (about 2 months old, never used, been hanging in the closet in my smoke-free...
This!
I switched to hammocking mostly because of the ability to survey the area when I hear something "bear-y" in the night. Usually the wind, maybe a squirrel or a Cub Scout. Was once a very...
I have two of these. They're pretty warm. I sleep hot, but I have used one in temps down to the high 50s on its own and mid 40s paired with a 20 degree Hammock Gear Phoenix 3/4 underquilt. Also use...
I'm going to jump on the bandwagon, too: UQ before TQ.
I started with using my old Thermarest for a few months, then I added an UQ. Such a huge difference in warmth and comfort! I used my sleeping...
Just another voice in the chorus, but I chose a 3/4 length UQ (specifically a HG 20deg. Phoenix) because:
1. I'm short (5'8" mostly due to my stumpy legs). My 3/4 Phoenix covers everything but my...
Very cool! I updated my version when I saw this posted on Derek's website, and I used the clinometer just yesterday to help a friend get a better hang angle. Works well. Handy app.
The small lights under the tarp are likely just battery powered Christmas lights. They seem to be putting off a pretty warm, yellow-ish glow. I have a set of the ENO Twilites (Twilights?) and they're...
Randy also offers interior gear pockets on Dream Hammocks now, too, as an option, which makes the Blackbird shelf less of a factor (and I love the shelf).
I'm plotting my next hammock now. I used...
Lotta students at the U of Ark have hammocks (usually ENOs, since there's a small outdoor store on campus that sells ENO and Grand Trunk) clipped on their backpacks. I see 'em hanging occasionally. ...
Thanks! Picked up one for one of my son's friends who's really been wanting a hammock, but his family isn't really in a position to set him up right now. Will make him some tree huggers and whoopies...
Welcome to Arkansas in the Summertime! Y'all see any big snakes? I nearly stepped on a 3-foot copperhead at a Webelos campout a couple of weeks ago. Just another reason I sleep in a hammock. With a...
+1 for the Superfly. My son uses one. It's big and light and awesome. I use the Warbonnet Edge (maybe too small for the XLC?), and like the ease of setup. Also, is super light.
I've been hanging for about 18 months with our Pack. My son (a Webelos Scout who will cross over in February) has been hanging longer than that (almost 2 years).
We've got 4-5 others (Scouts and...
This page: http://www.dream-hammock.com/Hammocks.html
Has a convenient feature comparison chart for Randy's hammocks.
I'm in! Thanks!
I'm in. Thanks!
I'm 2 of the 7 in Arkansas, soon to be 3 of the 8 on next payday.
What Dutch said.
I use his Whoopie Hooks ---well, not HIS whoopie hooks, but some of my own that I bought from him ;)
I unhook one whoopie hook from a continuous loop that's in my Dream...
+1 on Dream Hammocks. I've been sleeping soundly in a Dangerbird for about a year. I have found it more comfortable than my son's Warbonnet Blackbird (though he now sleeps in a Dream Hammocks Darian...
While I enjoy Grizzly Adams' videos immensely, too, if you are a newbie to Hammock Camping, also check out videos by forum member Shug. They are very useful and EXTREMELY entertaining.
Here's a...
I used BRAIDED (NOT NOT NOT twisted) Mason's Line, which is WAY cheaper than Zingit, etc. AND paracord. You can get it at Home Depot or Lowe's or whatever for about $7 for 500 feet. It doesn't...
Tim Ernst's Buffalo River Hiking Trails book is a great guidebook to the trails around the Buffalo. All his books are good.
Late summer could mean pretty blistering heat (was over 100 and humid...
Thanks for posting that. I have VERY little experience in hammocks without built-in bugnets -- either like the WBBB or the DangerBird or the HH bottom-entry style, which you can't really sit on.
Congrats, Randy! Looks like a great hammock and definitely on my list to consider as I think about additions to our hammock family, which already includes a DangerBird and a DarienUL.
I had the same results on my son's WBBB and my Dream Hammock Dangerbird. I assume it's because the zipper fabric doesn't stretch like the body fabric does. I find it to be an issue whenever I'm...
I have a Warbonnet Edge that I use most of the time (we also have a Superfly that my son mostly uses). I rig it using Braided Mason's Line like this:
Two half hitches to the ridgeline ring on one...
Awesome trip! My 10-year-old son also likes to hang. We're headed out to a Cub Scout campout next weekend and are looking forward to being out in the woods (instead of the backyard, which we do a...
Stove sold to mmaiolo81 pending funds.
Thanks!
Both of the items below were won at a raffle at our local outdoor outfitter last weekend, and we just don't need them. Both are brand new in the packaging and have never been opened.
Thermarest...
I'll second that notion. I sleep all different sorts of ways, and I can do almost all of them (except completely flat on my stomach) comfortably in my DangerBird. Sidesleeping is VERY comfy in the...
+1 on that.
However, we've camped with hammocks in a number of Arkansas state parks (and will be doing so with the Cub Scouts with at least 5 hangers next weekend) and have never been hassled by...
Is it loud in there? Looks like a place that wouldn't be conducive to a relaxing hang.
In my hammock setup, I have Bowlines (don't have to tie them regularly, though), Tautline Hitch, and Two Half-Hitches. I use the 2HH and TLH in rigging my tarp right now. My tarp rig is shockingly...
We have three HG quilts at our house, including a 20* Burrow that gets used almost daily as a couch top quilt. Never noticed a smell from it or the underquilts. I'll ask my son, as he's been out in...
I'm just gonna pile on: I've bought two hammocks from Randy in the last six months, and both experiences have been fantastic. He's great to work with, and my son's Darien UL (+mods) was his favorite...
I'm in! Thanks!
Welcome from Fayetteville! You should check out the 2013 Ozark Hang in March. Will be my first group hang, too.
This will be the first group hang in Arkansas (or nearby) since I started hanging last year.
Luckily, we don't have anything scheduled for that weekend, so my son (who also hangs and loves to...
I'm in.
Thanks!
