Here in the Lowcountry, once the mosquitoes come out, they're 24 hours / 7 days a week including holidays. There are 2 times they don't come out, very mild days & cool evenings. That's because the...
Yep, all depends on where you camp. Never been bit in the Smokies for example.
But my first time in a jungle hammock was one summer back in the early 90’s on a sea island camping trip in...
Yeah, that wasn't my set up! I told my friend to think long & hard about doing that. He's not small, over 6' & 200 lbs. Then, after he did it and it held, I told him he'd better not forget & drive...
Ok, here's my contribution to get this roof rack thread related to hammocks :D :

For anyone who likes Triptease, Cabela's has this for $5 less than the usual $15 for the Kelty stuff:

(This item is sold, thanks)
I have a JRB Nest in like new condition, stored completely uncompressed & used 3 nights. I'm extremely cold natured & found I prefer my Old Rag Mtn. Comes with JRB...
Oops, posted too slow. Got beat by the man!
Here's a great start if you haven't already been there:

Read that whole thing & you should be up to speed!
That's the Ultralight Travel Hammock. Campmor for $20.

Hey Curt,
I'm definitely the least experienced responder thus far, but man, I'm thinking the fabric is the weak link in the equation. (I'm flying around right now with a cheapie 20 buck Travel...
Yeah, and for a swamp paddler like myself, hammocks sink a lot slower than tents in the quicksand.
Yeah, an ENO is a great option to start out with if you're not a DIYer. Everybody needs an ENO! I recently raved about the Travel Hammock Ultralite as a great cheapie starter but upon further use,...
All I know is it's definitely either 4 or 5mm. I just got some 3 & 6mm accessory cord & it's between them.
Is Speer webbing & Hennessy tree hugger webbing the same material?
Then on the other end of the spectrum, there's boring old me. No imagination when it comes to names; I had a cat named 'Kitty'.
Someone started a thread on WB (which is having that database error again right now, so I'll post this here) about these $20 hammocks. I remember seeing them at Campmor & wondering about them, so I...
Thanks Attroll! It'll be great to get a closer look at the (newer) pics, especially details of DIY projects.
Is it possible to make the photo gallery display full size photos like WB, where if the photo is larger than the initial view you can click on it to enlarge it to full size? Probably a pricey option...
I would say at least waist high. To whatever height that allows you to sit in it at about chair height. I know sometimes in order to keep the sag to my preference, my attachment points can be at...
Yeah, every Spring, we canoe the river Deliverance was filmed on (Chattooga). Haven't had to squeal yet! (Knock on wood) I was told a few years ago that the kid with the banjo actually works at...
Hey Rhino-Ifl, I think I'm one of the few here that owns a Clark. I have an old Deluxe & recently got a NA with XL fly. I assume you got the std fly. Either one is too short IMO. You can always...
Oh man, that's not a link! I didn't know you could put a pic in the text! Anyway, the rest of them are in Hammock Accessories / Pads in the gallery...
Ok, I uploaded those pics from my 1st time putting up the Super Shelter. Here's the link to the 1st of 7 pics.

Hopefully that link...
You know, I've got some pictures I took when I first got my SS for my UL Explorer. Tonight I'll try to upload them when I'm around some high speed internet. I think it might be a pretty good photo...
The underpad is suspended by bungees under light tension so it won't compress and just snaps back in place after you get in. I think the only time you might have to fight with it is if it was...
With my Clark, when breaking down, I usually leave the tarp attached to the hammock and lay it all in between the zippered edges of the hammock, which is still attached to the trees. It's a little...
Pan,
Thanks for having the St. Patty's day sale! That provided just the tipping point for me to make the purchase. I've been experimenting a lot lately with keeping warm in my HH's and have come...
