That's what I thought... THANKS for the quick response:D
I'm thinking of using your exact design, but for a winter sock (as have many others).
My only question is after you have both sections already channeled with shock-cords in place; what do you...
Ill post a few pics over the weekend. Meant to earlier, but
family life sucks the time right outta me lol!
Yes I do Acer. My only fear now is how in the world can I get
All my gear in my bag lol?
Perusing through old topics I started and since my first winter hang is a few weeks away, I'd figure it would be cool to check this particular thread out. Man, you got it covered! I think I might...
Just got mine in the mail today! Gunna use my jacksRbetter
bishop bag for deployment, use some 1.7 zingit for the CRL,
biner and nite ize for the trees, and use 1.2 tech line coupled
with some...
I've had mine for over two years and never had a problem. It doesn't seem like a lot of coverage at 10 x 6.5, but I've never gotten wet nor has any of my gear that's been stored under it. Now I've...
I'd like to see how all ya'll pitch your perfect tarp! We've all got "the system" down at this point I'm sure, but I always like trying out new ways in different situations. Try to keep to the...
moved this thread after I realized it was prolly in the wrong place...

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the specifics BOB! I get the sense that as I test many of these options out in my backyard, I will find that delicate balance. ...
Correction, I am a WARM sleeper, meaning I CAN handle the cold :laugh:
Thanks gentlemen. I really appreciate your input. I like the idea of using that fleece blanket as a way to boost the temp rating of the UQ, especially by suspending it via the HRL using a prussik...
Can you get a nice flat lay with your rig? I have an UQ,
but it's synthetic. Good to 30. Thinking of adding a pad to drop
my temps, but I need a flat lay...
39 views and NO ONE has any feedback? I figured this topic
would get hot. I'm baffled (no pun intended:-))

I want to extend/drop the temp rating of my 40F marmot
minimalist sleeping bag (my TQ), and was wondering if
anyone has heard or has experience in...
Dabbling with idea of making DIY double-layer 1.1 hammock
that has ability to slide a thermarest pad between the layers.
New River rated at 30, I've been plenty warm down to 28 (cold sleeper)....
Does it already come fully enclosable or do I have to purchase the doors, too?
How could I forget that Super? Thanks!
With all those wonderful reviews and not ONE bad one, I may just go that route:cool:
I've been looking at the JRB 11x10 at about 130ish in price, but are there any other all-purpose tarps worth looking into at ABOUT the same price? I don't need a super shelter like the one Arrowhead...
Storing all of these in muh brain! Don't stop, these are awesome.
...Preparing for 0 degrees. I wanna avoid having to spend one billion dollars on another UQ. I plan on making or buying my TQ soon...
How you all have so many quilts and can afford a different...
Well, first off, I only have a full length new river UQ rated to 30. Assuming I get a nice, warm TQ (suggestions are welcome:D), what things can I do to minimize/alleviate turning into an icicle?
...
I own, use, and love my profly, even in downpours, but a strong wind with sideways rain would soak you silly. I'm adding a four-season tarp to my checklist of things to have;)
:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
I second that. Canadian mosquitos, black flies, and triangle flies think deet/perm./picard. are tasty margaritas. Without a bugnet, you'd be in hell from dusk til' dawn:thumbdown:
Hang in there (pun intended) brew guy, gunna order a bunch of materials within the month.
:cool:
Vapor barrier made from silnylon ripstop... Just jeffs makes an all in one similar to this and quadruples as a ton of other things (pack cover, water bag, etc...), but this provides the most...
Where are all the greetings yall? Usually new hangers get a plethora of hellos and whatnot...
Show some love:cool:
Woot-Woot!!:D:thumbup:
Don't use nylon webbing, use polyester webbing. Nylon stretches, thus, your butt will be on the ground by morning. If you buy ENO straps, get the new polyester ones called Atlas straps instead. ...
ENO rocks, heart-melting story! Love my SN, the sad thing is I immediately looked to see if that ENO had been modified with new suspension. Hey, the standard-issued, heavy biner and larksheaded...
Thanks to this great sale, a good friend of mine prolly just converted over to the hanging side! He already had a nice tarp, a bugnet from his tarp shelter, and his grand trunk light hammock... He...
Price? Weight? That will be the ultimatum:cool:
No, no... I appreciate it! I DIDN'T know that:what:
Very important moot point:D
I'll post it when complete... Prolly wont be for a little while though, the school year starts in a week and I...
I think I get it now... So you don't completely envelop the down with the no-seeum, but only to act as a spacer between the baffles. If this is true, I'm all good:o:thumbup:
Could someone PLEASE explain to me what the difference between sewn-through baffles and non sewn-through are? I'm going to construct a TQ soon and I don't want to compromise heat retention and this...
Great thread! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Thx for the above everyone! I'll let you know tomorrow how practice session goes:D
I figured a much... But must wasn't sure if I missed the boat on some technical thing-uh-mick-bobber:D
I'm a novice at using the sewing machine, but I'm digging it! Loads of fun - creativity is just now settling in...
My question to those who are seasoned vets at injecting is how in the world do...
I understand your skepticism, SSurfer:shades:
However, there are plenty of things that are more of danger in my opinion than a spray of waterproofing. Nanotechnology can definitely be used...
Not sure if it's for sale, yet. They said early 2012, but no-go.
Heres their website:

Maybe you folks have seen and/or junked around with this stuff before, idk... But it deserves me posting and seeing if I get any interest bites from the DIY crew. I cannot imagine it adds much...
You'll love your ENO SN! Ive had mine for almost two years and haven't found the need to switch to another brand. I'm sure many others are awesome. And don't let anyone convince you that its a...
SN too small? I'm 6'1", 205lbs and I get a perfect diagonal lie. Whoopies, hammock RL. I've achieved the same lie from 11.5 feet thru 18.5 feet...

Yes! Keep em' comin':D
First off, I think the term "thread injector" had to have been coined by some tough guy who was too embarrassed to admit he was into using the SEWING MACHINE:p, so lets not fool ourselves gentlemen...
:thumbup::D:):cool:;)
Other than the SLIGHT weight compared to others and crap straps, the hammock itself is top-notch. Soft, breathable fabric, may not be UL, but comfort means more to me and I only have the single...
