Just got back from the WRT a few weeks ago, did three days with a few of my friends. Surfr I think I missed you by a week but I did run across some other hammockers on the trail. Great trip. ...
My two cents:
Hammock - GTUL for as cheap as $12
Tarp - Campmor.com has 10x10' coated tarps for $40 or you could get their blue tarps for $6
Straps/suspension - Arrowhead Equipment has a...
ah surfr i'm jealous, i wanted to give the pine barrens a shot on Saturday since it's supposed to be in the 50s all day but alas, it's not in the cards. Batona's only about an hour away from me.
well my name is Joe, and I have a beard... that's about it.
YES! Great deal, thanks so much for the heads-up. I was going to buy a 700ml ti pot soon anyway, i think you've saved me about $20-$30 bucks. Much appreciated!
I'm in! I'm eager to try out a rings/straps setup
wow, I just got my Sawyer Squeeze in the mail today. talk about bad timing. oh well, still worth the money!
Hey, I'm in! my buddy could use one of these for his new GTUL he's getting for xmas
I find myself between books at the moment. Good time to win a new book maybe? Sign me up :D
I just hammered a few nails on the inside of my closet door and hang my sleeping bag from that, I hook my UQ up to the clothes bar in said closet and all other gear hangs from assorted hooks/nails as...
nice setup GLP, looks like you could drag that thread injector over to your hammock and make gear while you're sitting in gear that you made with gear that you made sitting in your own gear!
Well, I'm closer to the Pine Barrens in NJ than I am to any real hiking in PA, although World's End State Park up in Loyalsock Forest has some awesome hiking, seems like you're not too far from...
hey welcome from... PA! What part of the commonwealth are you from? Also, you'll do fine with a bag up top and a pad on the bottom, the tarp isn't a "must-have-before-hanging" but I wouldn't go out...
I run my SRL on the outside of my bug netting and tie the net up to the RL. Works fine for me, but then I don't have a HH
hey guys, late bump on this one but I was just playing around with my poncho as a tarp door and I really like the way you rig yours CapDubOh, looks similar to a vestibule you'd find on a normal tent...
30' - usually have a lot left over but you never know, you know?
heyo, welcome to the forums!
aaaghhh i've had my eye on that kukri for so long, can't believe i'm seeing it on here, but alas my funds do not permit!
Filter goes to HamMike, sorry spamburglar!
hah that's pretty funny actually, two weeks ago and I could have hand-delivered it to you :D
--- SOLD ---
Hey all, I actually bought this filter from BER in July and used it about once. I'm looking to lighten my pack up a bit and so I'm putting it up for sale here before I throw it to...
For me, being outdoors is all about what Shug would call "lollygagging". I love hiking and experiencing as much of the wilderness as I can, but I also like spending time around camp practicing...
I'd just use my poncho I think, if I were to go to ground, since i usually keep it folded under my hammock with my pack on it in to keep it out of the dirt and what-have-ya. 8x10 is a good size...
Is Dutch in the custom sheath business now? I may need to get in touch with him for a shoulder-sheath for my Bowie.
Hey all, happy thanksgiving! This thread reminds me, gotta bring my hammock to my aunt's house to demo why I asked for such strange gifts for my birthday.
I gotta say this thread is making me a little jealous, oh harbinger of galactus' might, and I am now redirecting my browser to the Hammock Gear site to check out some perfectly good uses of my hard...
I think that because of the expert tutelage I received here at HF I never reached (or haven't yet) the conflict stage. If it wasn't for you guys I'd still be sleeping in a tent enjoying my buddy's...
I'm gonna set up my hammock in my room and get some pictures for you... I might even do a video if I'm feeling saucy enough.
EDIT: Guess I was feeling saucy after all. Here's a short vid of how I...
I don't know but $14 is pretty expensive for one 6' tree strap. Try Arrowhead, $.50 per foot of strap. You can get two 7' straps for the same price as the one on the Hennessy site.
EDIT: or...
I just got back from a trip where I lent my two friends my Kelty Gunnison 2 man and I brought my hammock rig for myself. There was one point where I was persuaded into the tent with jeers of "ooh...
Roche, yes, I have to drive a bit if I want to get to any good woods/hiking/hanging and yes, I haven't been happy with the shore since I was a teenager so all of my vacations these days have involved...
Hey all! Just got back from a week-long road trip with two of my buds. We hit up 9 different states from PA through Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, and...
I also just picked up a GTUL and switched out for whoopies and a SRL and slept in it two nights ago. The lay is a little different than my Hammock Bliss as it's a little more narrow but once I got...
AGH!!! can't believe i missed this sale! I just got a new hammock and need suspension for it, and orange and black!?! Flyers colors!!! I will never let myself live this down
UPDATE: I just bought one at an army surplus store (they sell camping equipment too) and gave it a test hang. No issues really except for the S-hooks. Looks like its time to make some new whoopies...
I'm in!

love the wool sweater idea. I'm a big fan of hitting up the thrift shops around here (and there are plenty) for gear on the cheap. Got a nylon rain jacket for 3 bucks over the summer. Wool-hunting...
Funny you mention that, I had two bags picked out to choose between, one was the Lafuma, the other, Kelty.
Ah, yes, if I could sew. I'm probably gonna get a "thread-injector" for...
Hey guys, since I missed that awesome sale on the RAB top quilt you all seem to have picked up and made me very jealous with I've decided to go on the hunt for a better top insulation than my...
Hey guys, I was looking for a lighter weight hammock than my hammock bliss mosquito free 24oz brick and I found the GT Ultralight priced at $20 on Campmor.com

I know i'm a bit late to the party but I also ordered myself a Big Daddy from WL as a birthday present to myself and I'm also extremely satisfied. It packs small and light for the coverage that it...
Hey man, welcome to the forums. Always nice to have another PA hanger around.
So a bunch of my buddies are getting our first fall trip of the year together and we've decided on World's End State Park. They have designated camping areas and I'm just wondering if I should call...
So I've had my Jarbidge for the better part of a week now. Up until now I've been sleeping in my hammock wrapped in my comforter and still was waking up with a cold and stiff back (which is...
Grats Shug! You deserved to win simply for the netti pot video. I'm still left gagging and hacking after using mine, but you look as graceful using that as you do falling off a unicycle. Woo buddy...
wow, that is actually really cool and I think I'll be stealing your idea when i get a big daddy myself.
instead of the clip (which is a great idea) how well do you think it would work with a...
I think mine arrived in the mail today. Thanks Paul (and the rest of HF) for helping me confuse my landlords with package after package delivered weekly. Can't wait to hang it! :D
Wahoo!!! Just got my shipping notice!! Can't wait to slap that Jarbridge on and take a nice 12-hour nap. Thanks again Paul! :D
