Yes, it is silpoly
The reason for the extra silpoly is to have a separate tarp to sit under while it’s raining. I use one of the regular tarps over my hammock when I hang. At my age backpacking is...

Yes, it is silpoly,

As I understand your question, you now want to carry two tarps (clearly not a backpacker, I assume). Your post raises further questions:

Are you sure your Warbonnet tarps are poly? Because I...

Gentlemen
I have several tarps, last purchased were poly, I think under 3/4 oz. 3 from Warrbonnet. My question is what would you suggest in the way of an extra poly tarp that does not have a...

This is off your topic, but Warbonnet is offering silpoly tarps in 20d and 30d fabric. Do you have info on the ounce weight of these two fabrics?
I ave checked several web sites on line and none...

Thanks for all the input fellas, I think I will be buying a Wooki!

I'm thinking about buying a new underquilt from Warbonnet, but I have to sell my UGQ first. Only problem is, I'm sure I don't have the 50 required post to have permission to post in the for sale...

I usually wear a medium weight wool underwear, Minus 33 or Ice breaker when night temps warrant, however my feet usually get cold anyway, even when using a 20 degree 7/8 length underquilt (UGQ) and...

I'm sure some of you use the Wooki underquilt from Warbonnet. What are some advantages of using this underquilt other than being able to connect it quickly to your hammock?

Campdavid, If 100 or 101 inches is the correct length, from what point does the measurement begin? Does it start at the front of the hammock end where the Amsteel gray is wraped around the end of...

Hey--- fellas, I'm back with ?? Took measurement of ridge line, 89 inches. Loosened ridge-line measured hammock being taut without ridge-line connected, 105 inches. This is a Blackbird 1.1 double...

Thanks, I think mine changed when the suspension was changed from Buckle to whoopee slings. Changed back to original suspension, but the ridge length is longer. I could never get that right feel, did...

Thanks, 2 Samuel 22. Also I have a standard length Blackbird, what about it's ridgeline length?
I purcdayeddkkkk I have discovered others have talked about, however I missed the point. When I hang...

Does anyone know what is the ridgeline length on a Warbonnet Blackbird extra long hammock?

Does someone know What the ridge line length is on a blackbird extra long hammock?

This looks really good. One question I have, when your feet are in the footbox and it's 25-30 degrees out side with slight wind, eight MPH or less, do you feel transmission of air or maybe convection...

Fellas,
I used a space blanket last week in a hammock setup in back yard. Was windy, temp down to 30 degrees. My background is through some trial & error learning. Before Buying an underquilt i...

Durtsurf,
Zippo markets lighter fluid for the The Zippo hand warmer and cigarette lighters. On the hand warmer, the wick element is temporally removed from the top of the lighter and absorbent...

That's a good looking tarp! How did you layout the pattern?

Greetings! It's my understanding Membrane sil poly weigh's in at .93 oz. per yd., whereas SU4000 weighs 1.07 oz. per yd. finished. My question is what would one of each weigh if it were similar to...

Fellas, I haven't read all of the comments in this thread (70 pages) but, has anyone tried a Zippo hand warmer? I bought one before Christmas to help keep hands warm while trout fishing in a river....

BigRed77, sounds like a good trail name to me! It's very good receiving a response from Clemson! Don't they have a football team up there? I was real happy for them, they played exceptionally well....

Well its cold outside, snow,rain and ice over much of the northeast and mid-South Carolina where I live. It's going to warm up next week. I'm thinking about doing some trout fishing in the Chattooga...

PM me!

Interesting! Iv'e experienced the same problem, feet getting cold, usually being wokeup by cold feet. I have made three changes to improve foot warmth. FIRST experiment I bought an inexpensive down...

What's the odds of South Carolina winning?

Forgot about the game

I'm planning to trout fish and hammock camp on the Chattooga River after Thansgiving Day. Weather permitting, Friday through Monday. I have the spot picked out, only problem is I don't have a...

I just volunteered to help in the clean-up efforts in flood damaged areas of South Carolina. Several of us have partnered through our church with Samaritan's Purse to help with that effort. I...

Thanks HK2001, I really appreciate your input and FJR pilot for your acknowledgement also. Now, I have never made a tarp before, but considering that PU4000 doesn't slip or stretch when sewing I...

What is your material of preference and does it pack down well?

HK2001, have you done any testing on tarp fabrics?

Fellas, It was pure delight reading your comments from the perspective of a lab test as well as an end user perspective. I have some questions regarding the testing of tarp fabrics. I remember...

I don't have a specific date in mind. I'm not at a point where I can focus on a specific time frame. Several items are taking my time at this point.

Tyoney, I live in North Augusta, SC about 4 hours drive from where I went trout fishing. The Chattooga river borders Georgia and the North West corner of South Carolina.

Thinking about packing in on the Chattooga or Chauga river for some trout fishing in the Mountain Rest area. Anyone interested?

This question is probably addressed somewhere on this forum, if so I haven't found it's answer. I'm considering a cuban fiber tarp like the winter palace from CG, but I am concerned about the it's...

I have looked for Hammock Gears email address, but I don't see it on their web site. How do you get in touch with them?

I'm wondering if the tarp had two additional tie points for hanging, say one foot in or whatever is appropriate to hang from. That would effectively reduce the length of the tarp two feet, making a...

Thanks SpitballJedi, I appreciate you suggestion. How tight can you get the tarp?

I've only ever ran in to that situation once. I tied a overhand knot in both ends to shorten the length and still be able to use the tieouts. i wasnt able to get the tarp as taught as usual, but i...

Fellas. I have tuned in to your discussion and it is quite interesting and informative, but one problem I have experienced from time to time is having to hang from trees that were to close together...

Fellas, I'm a little late with a response regarding Mason's line, but I have used Dynaglide, Zing-it, Amsteel and whatever the manufacture supplied with the tarp or rain fly and now use mason's line,...

Snaggleroot, thanks for telling me about "King Creek Falls", I think I'd like to see that, also the thought about starting at Burrells Ford and working down to Oconee. That had crossed my mind...

Philsweep, hopefully by fall I will be able to hike a longer distance, my desire is to do some section hikes on the AT, maybe by fall I will be in shape to do some of that. For now Oconee to Burrels...

Well, well, what can I say? I have a 20 degree 7/8 length w/ 850 down fill. It's a quality underquilt, however, even at 23-26 oz. compressed it is somewhat bulky and I would like something lighter...

What happened to the for sale thread?

Oboy, really can appreciate your comments. I'm working on getting in shape, When at that point I think 8-10 miles will probably be what I'll be walking on the trail.

I bought a light down jacket (closeout) in a department store for $25.00. The lable indicates 90% down, 10% feather. Took my long arm (really a short arm) sewing machine made leggins out of the...
