The bury length is determined by the length of rope that the sheath grips--so don't include your tapered section (although don't fret small amounts). Technically yes on a 4-strand cut/8 strand...

I use .023 welding wire (or smaller) folded in half. Works the charm.
Dude. Sweet. Seriously.
You just need to alter your perspective. You know how your food arrives at a restaurant when you go to the restroom and you are happy to see it waiting for you? Same thing. Don't be upset that you...
Yes, I hung this last Saturday night. I had absolutely no issue freeing the toggle.
I'm in Colorado--I made these specifically for a Colorado Trail biking trip this summer (biking the Colorado Trail from Denver to Durango)--most the trail averages about 10,000' elevation and most...
Living room hang (don't tell the wife!) :-) everything works as expected...have a good nite!!
No--my toggles added about 8 grams--they were an afterthough (which I really like). The total weight for (2) 7.5' straps w/ toggles is 52 grams. Pretty compact, too. I'm gonna hang in them...
I have heard that Dynaglide is more slippery--any issues holding a MLS? The next rope order will be for dynaglide, but not time soon. I have tons of other things on the list before shaving those...
Not sure if others are doing tree straps this way, but I was wanting to shave some more weight as well as well as keep things simple so I made some new tree straps. I used webbing at the tree end,...
Just want to mix up my colors a bit--I have the yelow 1.75 Zing-it and wanted to make some grey prussiks and what-not. Hoping to trade for some grey Zing-it. Maybe 30' for 30'? Open to...
3-season:
WBBB/whoopie
Maccat Std sil w/zing-it continuous ridgeline
Treestraps
stakes/guylines with surgical tube tensioners
Yeti 3/4 UQ
Golite ultralite TQ
4.4 lbs.
The trip is about 500 miles on a bike--it has a few mandatory detours around wilderness areas. I am planning to take 10 days--it is a grueling pace, but my goal is to get to Ska Brewing, so I have a...
I got into hammocking just this year for a summertime bike ride along the Colorado Trail from Denver to Durango--thought that a light hammock set up would be better for a great nights sleep and of...
I ordered a Yeti even though it said it had a 2-3 week backorder. Got it in a week. SUPER STOKED! Set it up last night--**** Brandon makes great stuff.
I'm in, for sure. I'll bring my A-game, which will probably include Ska Modis Hoperandi and Macallan. :-)
I was very pleasantly surprised today to get an e-mail from Brandon saying my Yeti is shipping today--I was expecting the 2-3 week back order lead time that is on his site. That ROCKS! To friggin...
Whoopie sling guylines have been discussed (just search) and tossed out due to inability to adjust under tension.
Thanks guys--I just ordered up a WB Yeti. I think the Hammock Gear products look incredibly awesome as well, but Brandon is a CO guy and I support local when ever I can. Bought my WBBB just...
I am going to bikepack the Colorado Trail (500mi) during a 10 day ride this summer. I am looking for the lightest, smallest packing, best quality underquilt for these conditions to pair with my...
I haven't used enough to make any kind of informed decision on specific products, but what I REALLY want is more time get out and to use what I already have.
I am about to place my order for Amsteel for my whoopie slings and I can only find 8 strand although many posts talk about 12 strand. Does the 7/64 only come in 8 strand? Fine by me if it does, I...
Just know that when the wind blows, it blows strong...with lots and lots of sand...
Mine arrived on Tuesday--looks awesome! Hung it in the living room to check it out--can't wait to play outdoors. This is my first hammock--working on putting together my kit for biking the Colorado...
