Just got back from a month long hike on the Virginia AT from damascus to lamberts meadow shelter. There were only 2 of us and we had a hard time finding suitable hang spots once we got north of...

We are down if it's the first, second or fourth weekend in June we are down.

This place is full of great information. Currently I've just hiked and hung. Can't wait to try hanging on my canoe trip in the Boundary Waters!

I can't say enough about sheltowee hammocks. Alex's customer service and product quality are AMAZING!! He let my wife use his product and she was sold. Having the uq integrated with the hammock makes...

Hey fellow hammockers,

I completed a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2014 and I thought I would put together a post covering the hammock related gear I used and how it worked out for me. I...

Reflectix it is. Since hammocking is new to me, I won't to stick with the cheaper pad option and then move up to the uq next year.

Let me know if there is anything else needed.

Warbonnet zilch w/ beignet on for sale forum. You could have it in a week.

I have 1/8 and 1/4 inch volara closed sell foam pads and I use a 30 degree down bag for my tq.

Thanks for the advice. Only had two trees in my yard to suspend from. It was my first time hanging this new hammock.

Is there a trick to extending your tree straps when they don't fit around the tree? Newbie problems!

Thanks for the heads up! I'm very hot natured, but hearing the stories on HF about convection and such has given me a nagging fear. Won't know will I try and my first total overnight hang will be...

I'm in louisville, ky just across the river from southern Indiana. I'm new to hanging also and always looking for an accessible hang group. Where are you in Indiana?

Hey C.C. How was the valentines outing? Don't know how y'all withstood those temps and wind. I was freezing 2/14 just walking a downtown Louisville street that night!

Got mine from high school and it has stuck with me even on the trail. My wife got hers, skittles, because she is always happy and shiny like a rainbow. I do agree the best trail names are given on...

Thanks for the info. I was just asking if I will need a pillow for my new hiking life as a hammockers.

I put my order in today, it would be amazing if I get my blackbird and superflyso I can have my first overnight hammock experience this weekend! Fingers crossed

When I was a ground dweller, a pillow, clothes stuffed in a stuffsack didn't work for me. Will I still use a pillow as a hammocker?

Would love to attend but I'm heading out to hang I'm red river gorge (KY) that weekend.

I'm new to hanging. I see Dutch and dutchware throughout a lot of posts. What sets their products apart?

Yeah I'm seeing that convection is the devil. I have several pads courtesy of being a ground dweller. So I'm wondering if I can use this with an emergency reflective sheet below that. I've read many...

Can't wait!!!

Thanks so much. I have been researching heavily for two months. I usually do a month long AT hike every May. For me, I know coverage is extremely important. I'm trying to balance weight and coverage....
