I am looking for the right backpacking hammock. Can anyone tell me if the Skeeterbeaters have a sleeve underneath to slip insulation into?
Thanks,

My last trip to Yellowstone. We went up the Lamar to Miller creek and over into the Hoodoos. I just did not sleep great on the ground, even with a Self inflating mat. I brought a smal Byer I was...
Hilsen fra America!
You will have to come to the US and camp in Yellowstone Park. Black and Grizzly bears, wolves, coyotes, lots of Wapiti (our Elk) Moose (your elk) and buffalo! If you do not...
I will take it if it is still up for sale. PM sent.
I think I will be applying for a Federal Grant to study Bears' human wrapper preferences!! Probably be a little expensive, as I will need to test over a two year period on the AT, Yellowstone,...
A hammock will keep you cooler, off the ground and more comfortable. I still think you can have the best of both worlds.
Google Hexayurts. Design a lightweight take down frame that supports a...
OP - Sun, wind, alkali and water needs. Those are the 4 things you need to contend with. Easy to get fried and you will have that dust in every exposed area eventually. You need to bring a lot of...
Alamosa - that is exactly what I encountered in Jackson Hole! I had to wait for a hammock to open up because of all of the kids and Kid/mom pairs using the hammocks. But something told me to wait...

Yeah, Gilbert started making hammock chairs, I think, then developed these. He seems to have tweaked the angle just right. To me, the nice thing is you can sit very comfortably, and then you just...
I will get some up of the units in my house, etc. asap. I have not tried to post photos on this site yet.
I have 2 Dream Weavers. THey are woven cotton, so a little heavier, but super- comfortable and really easy to get in and out of. I have been trying to figure out my tarp setup for this type of...
I was in Jackson Hole last summer at the art fair and met Gilbert Gruzanski who makes these hammocks from cotton cord. I'm a big guy (6' 240lbs.) but GIlbert showed me photos of a 450 lb Sumo guy in...
All,
I searched the threads and found only one mention of the Whelen tent. Has anyone tried to make a frame in the field and lay it OVER the ridge pole? I think this would allow a secondary pole...
Hello all. This is my first post here.
I have been using hammocks since I was a kid and camping out in them since I was a Paratrooper in the 80's. Back then we used those green nylon string...
