is that some kind of threat?

And i keep asking myself, why do i keep doing these forums:confused:Does "nothing exceptionally well"? hmm, let's see if it falls into any exceptional categories(:scared:): rain(yes, nothing better),...

re read my post 4 answer

'hammock bliss' seems a little pricey, but nice idea. And the 'strapworks' is a sweet idea as well, but when you get to the 5' to 6' length, the price gets close to the 'hammock bliss'. what to...

nice, but too much $$$ to me. I use a gi setup, rubberized poncho + liner, approx. $30.

what's the weight of this "portable" design. I think it's a great design, aside from that(weight).

great idea, gives me some ideas as i'm ready to modify my tarpage.
My current(usual) setup, I rig my tarp(9X12) where the longer side is windward, approx 8ft, and 4ft on the other. The ridgeline is...

Hmm, just some info for ya...
ENO singlenest: 101"(8.41')X53"(4.41'), 18oz.
Kalisto travel hammock: 116"(9'6")X61"(5.08'), 23.5oz. $19

I use and prefer the ENO singlenest to any other, but i...

I meant the military issue survival blanket, o.d. on one side and aluminum on the other, rip-stop nylon throughout, grommets on all 4 corners, approx 9 oz. nice jeep by the way, i have an 89'...

my pad 'squirts' as well, fully inflated, partial, whatever. if those out there use pads, thermarest prolite in particular, my new design may be of interest. I finished altering the design, now i...

I've never seen those rap rings(per your truckers hitch setup), until now! I'll prob grab some, at least for a setup as you described. I climb(rock, indoor, etc) quite often, and i'm just one of...

"Cinch Buckle System:

Cinch buckle w/ ~18" of 7/64 Spectra = 1.2 oz x 2 sides = 2.4 oz
10' OWF camo webbing = 2.3 oz x 2 sides = 4.6 oz

Today i set-up a "tree-less suspension". Used 4 branches, 6' each. Lashed them at the top('stockgrowers lash?), spread them approx 2' at the bottom, leaned them to approx 45 deg( \ / )angle. clipped...

i use the 'nite-ize' setup as well, less the shock cord. It's a great product.

i'll be uploading a vid this week of a creation my friend Dan & i made, and tested today that should solve most pad slippage. After we made our creation i looked online to see if anyone else had made...

It's great stuff, all the way to the core.
Actually the inner lines are nylon, the real stuff has a total of 14 lines, dual wrapped, so it looks like only 7. Each line is approx. 17.5 lb test.

Military "shock cord", "para(parachute) cord", there are plenty of names for it. Its usually 1/8 in thick, 550 lb test, if your lucky(like me) you can find the 650 lb stuff. 7mm is about 400lb test.

Say what?:confused:

Another 'don't leave home without it' item for me. It's not a single use item. That's why the weight is reasonable, for me. Yes there are lighter ponchos out there, but this guy seems to work best,...

I feel like a salesman for this item.:confused:
For me, I use a military survival blankey. Wind will not penetrate the thing, the heat will be retained, it's super light, and super cheap. I know i...

Take a drill, drill a hole, etc...

I've stated in several posts that the survival blanket is an essential item. I use the military issue type, similar to the 'MPI space blanket' as posted. The Military one has ripstop nylon through...

No politics, just facts, those that have their eyes open:eek:
Yes Ca is another world, but cheap burritos, $1.25 bus fare to Big Basin to camp(those who know...know), etc. Read my signature.

The overkill is so...overkill

I actually have the ENO singlenest, w/bugnet. Anywho, underquilts:confused:
I know i'll get hell for this, but here goes. The purpose is to keep your underside warm and obviously breeze free? Hmm....

In my avatar pic I'm using a cheapo blue tarp(so far so good), over our dual set-up. Tarp is 9x12. Approx 8 feet hangs on one side(west/wind), approx 4 on the other side. If it rains w/out wind, its...

The forecaster said low 45* & rain, it got down to 32*...& rain. My gear that night: ENO hammock, Prolite3 pad, merlin3 bag, cheapo blue tarp, Indera first layers under my clothes. In the cold, the...

Thought that would raise some eyebrows. I dont need to explain myself to anyone, so I wont, my opinion is just that, mine.;)

And who says america "aint" the greatest place on earth. To expound further would prove my insanity:eek:

Americans are the worst people ive ever met, yet this site is ok...so far:)

:D Right on Bmike, it's one of my don't leave home without it items. Too many positives not to be a must item for most.

byer parachute traveller. $20, 11oz. They make one with an attatched mosq bar.
