Let me first start by saying that I'm a ground sleeper and I tend to sleep a tad warm. Not sure if that information is necessarily relevant for this discussion but nonetheless, I'll share it.
I'm...
Dropped to $50
Evrgrn Crash Sack, like new, is a wearable sleeping bag that's good for summer/fall with a 45° rating. I've only used it a few nights in temps in the low to mid 20s with a Costco down throw for...

Excellent condition, have only used for 3 nights out. Only selling because I'm going to just get a 2 person tent to use for solo trips and trips when my wife joins. I didn't do the prettiest job of...

Just an update - I was finally able to get out on a trip the weekend before this past weekend. Unfortunately the trip was cut short due to being evacuated as there was a wildfire on Cold...
Just an FYI, there is yet another budget underquilt option on the market and this one has to be the most 'budget-friendly' one I've seen yet. ...

FYI, $ was refunded to me shortly after my last post.
FINAL UPDATE- for informational purposes to others here: In short, I would change my thread title from 'Beware' to 'Steer clear'. Another month has gone by and no word or resolution. I am really...
Ok, we can leave it open then. Thank you for the information.
Refer to our Facebook messages please....since that's what seems to work better anyways. I'm ready to put this behind me and move on. Frankly, I don't see how this thread has 'bankrupted' you.......
Update, I still have not received any direct communication from MWG, much less a replacement.
Crickets chirping..........
So where do I fit into this announcement?
I hate that it has come to this but I do not believe MWG is beyond saving and don't believe this has to be a permanent mark against them/Charlie. I think I have been more than patient.
All of that SOUNDS good but please go back to our conversations on FB.. You'll see that we've been through this offer multiple times now and I'm still waiting.
Lol, yep my tarp stunk like crazy too! Had to hang it up outside just to try and get rid of the smell. And if I'm being really picky, I'm pretty sure this tarp was also made from 2nds material as it...
Thanks everyone for feedback and experiences. All has seemed well when I talked to Charlie on the phone and in all of our back and forth conversation through Facebook but no real solution has come...
My primary hammock is from SLD...jared is great! Lesson learned, i should have gone with him for my tarp.
Thank you. I was really wondering if i was the only one.
I can't remember the first, last time or if ever I have made it a point to write a negative review for a gear maker but unfortunately there's a first time for everything. :( Below, for now and for...
You sure you're talking about the Yukon Outfitters "Walkabout" rainfly?? You describe it as 'square' and 'NOT waterproof' and the pegs as 'lightweight'? None of that describes the YOW rainfly I...
Having Charlie make me Monster with an 11ft ridgeline in Dark Olive Silpoly, can't wait!
Is that the dark olive?
Cool, thnx for the info....I'm 5'11" and about 170.
Thnx, yeah I was planning the same thing....centering 1 yard of Climashield 6oz in fabric that's maybe around 40-42" wide as i don't feel the need for insulation around the outer edge.
Yeah, I tried using math to get an estimate but trying to get the weight without the ropes/straps as I would switch to amsteel continuous loops.
Zip, though my understanding was the difference between zip/classic was maybe an ounce. And as stated, just the hammock....no ropes, straps, or Snakeskins.
Anyone know the weight of just the hammock?
Thnx.
I'm really not sold on UQs as I really don't have a hard time with my 3/4 Ridgerest. But I am thinking of just picking up 1 yard of 5/6 oz. Climashield Apex to make a minimalist UQ on the cheap....
So the Yukon Outfitters rainfly is a little bit bigger than most Asym tarps but I'm sticking with smaller hammocks and would like the weight savings of an Asym tarp. Something equivalent in...
Last price drop to $50 shipped + PP fees.(3%?). If no takers then she's a keeper.
Reduce to $60 shipped
Jealous.... Think I'm gonna go back to a Hennessy, had an Expedition but sold to a friend to get something lighter. The popular cottage netted hammocks just don't seem to lay right for me....think...
I do have pics but can't upload here from my phone for some reason. You can PM me ur email address and I can send via email.
Loosely stuffed into its built-in stuff pocket, I measure 10x10x4.5 inches. Itll of course compress smaller...like 8x5ish.
This jacket features removable sleeves and hood and is insulated with Primaloft and is constructed with Pertex Microlight Eco. I have had the jacket for a couple of seasons but have barely used...
nice color! still really excited to see how this develops.
Item sold. Please move thread.
There are actually at least 3(i just quickly reference my smokies trail map) shelters that are not on the AT.
Copied from Smoky Mountain National Parks rules ®ulations:
7. Backcountry permit holders may not use tents at shelters.
8. Hammocks may only be used within designated backcountry campsites....
