Yes, helpful, and I’ll probably go with the knot method for now.

I want to shorten a hammock that I already have, but would rather not cut it just yet. Can I gather and whip together the fabric on the ends, and if so, how? Depending on how well that works, I...
Welcome from ATL
I rocked a Claytor NoNet for a while, too! Agreed, one of the most comfy hammocks but got tired of my quilt drooping over the side. Also agreed that the SG feels narrow and said quilt droops when I...
I rock a 10’ SG 15 degree hammock for 50s and lower, which is about 80% of my trips. Still have an 11’ Dutch netless and 30 degree UQ for truly warm trips.
Had Jared make me a 10.5’ pentagon tarp...
I find that I don’t need to get into my side until 5-6 hours being in one position, on my back. I will kinda do a 3/4 turn to my side which eventually ends up being a 1/4 turn combo with a figure4...
Is there another way to roll?!? [emoji6]

I have no idea what this means, and so I have to doubt it. Agreed with you on the sock.
Down sleeves? shorter of the two, forget exactly what that was, but I'm a 33 and I'd say they fit like a 32.
Updating a 2018 post... 4 hammocks later, I believe I have nirvana, for cool season anyway... now rocking Superior Gear 15 elite. Might be a 45 in my future (SG hammock that is).
I've got a few things that are on my list to sell when I get around to it...
Enlightened Equipment Revolt 30 (standard is short) - well used, but very good condition
Hang Tight reflector series...
Of course, length gets out of whack when you're talking about asym tarps. My smallest/lightest tarp is 146" long. Has hurt in some scenarios with tree spacing. I now rock a 10.5' tarp in wide...
Figure 4 is good for spreading your legs when you feel the need to.
Yeah, the "not even close" comparison is a little harsh. For any two hikers that aren't lovers, there would be a lot to put up with to make the "shared" weight worth it. And you didn't include a...
Because I find a high level of value in the sewn in insulation hammock. I find no cons to the format, but that’s me.

Good point and probably why they are heavier. While I like what he's done, but I think a separate winter and summer insulated hammock makes a little more sense to me while using other TQs, which you...
I've had an SG15 now for a year or so, and I do believe it has significantly improved my experience on the trail, AND when packing at home. I've always fretted over having my UQ connections and...
I think for a relatively like-new quilt, and a pretty one at that, I think a 20% markdown, shippped, is fair. Just my opinion, I've seen them list higher - especially if its a custom product that...

"Asym orientation is based on which way you lay in the hammock and the insulation is cut on the angle to save weight and pack space. The Broad Width option adds 6" to the...
Let's try this again, been a while since I posted anything for sale...

Welcome, and if I get a chance while visiting in-laws, would love to hang with you sometime.
One piece of advice at this point is to not get too caught up in what your needs are, especially for...
First was a Hennessy Explorer classic.
Now using a Superior Gear hammock in winter, Dutch Netless in summer.
Real good option here. The real issue is the bottom which you can supplement, OR make more efficient. The windsock would make more efficient by reducing convection heat loss. The hot water bottle...
no 12' offered - I previously used an 11' netless and now use a 10' SG
Must've ran into issues with PETA!
Actually, I was on the FB post where folks were complaining about some orders never received. Appears the business was shut down abruptly for some reason,...
To be clear on Superior Gear, what they make is a top quilt with snaps that can be used on their hammock as an UQ. I don't believe there is any suspension attached to use on any other type of...
Not a big fan of the liners, as mentioned previously they are a PITA for the very incremental warmth you might get. I think a supplemental pad is the easiest/cheapest option, but only a torso or...
For a relative noob, I think you've made a good find with the Dutch Chameleon. However, since you mention mosquitoes and cost, I'd like to throw a shout out to the Hennessy Safari classic, which by...
I think diamond is a basic square tarp, like the Kelty Noah. I think even a 12x12 would offer as much protection in various configurations as most hex tarps, but that's an awfully long RL pitched...
Yes and no. There's been a lot more relevant content recently, much of it with better admin oversight. But its far from perfect and the format encourages brevity, which produces misinformation. Or...
By the way, anybody else see Shug's latest video? Bit of history there related to HF. YouTube is another source of info that is more widely used today than it was before. The fact that google...
Original member here from when we fractured off of Whiteblaze. I know I'm not here nearly as often, being mostly on my phone on FB, where there are several groups I interact with. I have my...
I just picked up one of these for less than what the OP did. The actual weight is 16.4oz which is not bad for a 12.5' long tarp that is also 58" wide on each side, pushing the limits of regular...
2nd the idea
show them pics of hammocks deployed at other universities - they pretty much use pics like these to make the rules, but then they eventually have to compete so that the pics used to justify the rules...
I checked Whiteblaze for any discussion of it there... none through 2019, didn't look further back as I'm considering if its an annual issue, there would be recent discussion of it. My take from...
The real question is it ok to "prune" someone else's trees? I understand the western dilemma with some of the evergreens, but I don't really see it as a necessity. And if you don't trim all around,...
The RR lays flat with a pad, mostly. I went back to a regular hammock because side sleeping in the RR didn't work for me, whereas I can mostly make that happen in a GE hammock.
p.s. my view on...

I still get air pockets with mine. That's what sent me to SG.

Sounds like a rollicking good time to me! Any trail issues to be aware of? I know that was part of the discussion on having this hang again.
Excellent! Now don't let it be 2 years again!!
Love mine! I keep mine in a drysack that also serves as a way to compress it further.
Looks like your hammock probably does not have a ridgeline? That's really where the 30 degrees comes into play as that allows the sag of the hammock to be comfortably loose. You probably weren't...
FYI, I don’t believe JRB’s stated 25% overstuff is significantly more than what most others are doing normally.

And he's in Idaho as well!
Most everyone has covered the bases here. You don't need an UQ if your undercover/pad is good to your normal lows of 45. I used a classic HH for my first few years with a regular camp pad & SPE...
