I would recommend taking a look out in the GW National Forest.. Lots of places to Hike there, and can even pike up some of the Tuscarora. Further South, there are some sizable loops not far from the...

+1 on the Mini Ground Hogs. I have used them for my blackbird extensively, and never had a problem.
MSR Mini Groundhog Stakes. A lot smaller than their larger cousins. Where I usually hike they've been perfect - the soil is usually not totally dry or super sandy. They work very well in silty or...
I received my double layer campus lounger more than a week ago but still have yet to try it.. excited to do so!
Hello and Welcome!
how did the daddy long legs get in!?
rcracin - here's to a good game on Saturday.. your boys are looking a lot more consistent than ours this year that's for sure. Even after losing some key folks to the nfl last year I thought we'd be...
Congrats! If its any consolation, its rainy here as well! :-/
Is that a lefty BB or am i making things up?
Big thank you to Brian of BIAS Hammocks. After trading emails back and forth, in which he graciously answered all of my questions, I've placed an order for a double layer Blacksburg lounger! Orange...
I'd imagine the cost is more b/c they may not be kept in stock as the normal model would be.. if there is any automation in the fabric cutting, it may require recalibration of equipment too. I have...
How'd it go?
Forgive my ignorance (quite new to hammock camping), but is the difficulty of designing a full length UQ that fits a hammock snugly the primary reason that most available UQs are 3/4 length?
It...
I am not familiar with the omni heat sleeping bags, but I have had several of the jackets and have been impressed. I would be curious how that material might function even in the absence of loft...
I had not paid specific attention to spreading it out prior to entering the hammock.. I will certainly keep that in mind as I get used to using it, thank you :)
Finally got around to hanging it up to test out. I have never been in a double layer hammock before. It seems like in some places, the top layer of fabric will pull taught while the underneath is a...
It was first suggested by a friend. After my first (albeit somewhat fitful) night in a hammock, I woke up with my my feet and back feeling great.. Hooked!
I'm a big Arsenal fan (north London football club)! Any other fellow EPL fans in the community? spurs fans don't count.. ;)
Thanks all for the warm welcome!
I have used only a pad so far as well. For me (at least in my mind) its more about spreading out the foot area so I don't get any pressure on my bad ankle. Perhaps that wont be a problem with the...
.. I cannot believe how light this thing is! Its a double 1.1. The material just feels so light its hard to believe how much weight it can hold. Does anyone know if the black ones are made with...
Very cool. Have you been pleased with the MSR groundhog stakes? I think I see one in the pic there..
Wow and its totally stable? How much can you move around in it without feeling like its gonna flip?
Hello from DC! I am somewhat new to the forum (made a few posts - Thanks very much to everyone for the helpful info) and quite new to hammock camping.
I've started with a Hennessy as it seems...
Is it stable? In my mind's eye I imagine bridge hammocks to be somewhat unstable..
Just used the switch to color black as an excuse to order a BB!
Thank you much to all for the responses. I am going to spend some time playing with the Hennessy trying to see if different hang angles / tensions make a difference.
I very much appreciate the...
Hi All. I posted the following in the Hennessy forum, and received some good feed back. I wanted to post it here as well, to see what Blackbird owners thoughts were, as the Blackbird was suggested...
I have recently spent my first few nights in the woods in my new Hennessy hammock (my first hammock) which I purchased after trying out a friend's Hennessy briefly. He is a big guy (6' 4" probably...
