The website says 57" is the width for 11' foot Chameleons. When i measure it it roughly comes out to 52", but that difference could be a function of how measurements are taken.

Well, sort of ;-). In an effort to reduce the hammock tonnage, having seven, I thought that I would put this set up and see where it goes. Honestly, I have found the Chameleon to be one very...
Sold! Thanks a lot.
Superb USA cottage industry quality camping hammock. Easily adjustable. The hammock includes a zip bug net and ridgeline organizer. Very little use and in excellent condition. Below are detailed...
I'd suggest looking for one like I use every day. Comes apart in segments. This spring I added wheel are my to roll it into position, albeit I scooted it across the floor for several years. The...
Speaking of Haystack brings up memories of climbing in the Winds. Here are a couple of pictures from Haystack. Major Dihedral if memory serves me right.

Hey Jim, thanks for the encouragement. I was wracking my brain trying to remember your user name because you, like Stevebo and BillyBob, have expressed a continued interest in this project despite...
In deed it does take a bit more than sewing two end channels and some hems. But for encouragement, if this 72 yo guy with limited sewing experience can make it happen it is entirely possible. Also...
I've tried bridge hammocks, my first hammock was a WBRR, and when I discovered the Hammocktent 90* the WBRR was sent along for others to enjoy. Simply too much shoulder squeeze in standard bridge for...
I posted a rather length reply to this thread that evaporated due to HF's failure to incorporate my "donation" in a reasonable time frame, i.e. days later and a claim filed with Paypal with no...
Of course there is variability between years and location, but overall you can count on bugs being, shall we say, a force to be reckoned with in the upper Intermountain west. I've worked the Bob,...
Test, mike test,
I would proffer another suggestion. Give an easily adjustable ridgeline a try. Personally, I have found that for my comfort spot a LONGER than normal ridgeline does it for me. I then also lay more...
The GT stand is very similar to what you are asking about. Perhaps even an earlier model because mine does not have the small angle braces at the corners. I was blessed to only pay five bucks for it...
I know it isn't a cricket stand, but here is the stand I use daily. Admittedly I paid $5 for it at a local building materials recycling center and you are not likely to find a similar deal. ...
Here is an alternative to your rotary plow: ;-)

Actually this is my crew mate and me plowing up an outfitter created salt site using a trail plow. (this was followed with a spring tooth...
That indeed looks like an excellent trip. The views and pictures are stellar! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.
Gorgeous country, sounds like a great trip, and excellent photos.
Looks like you snagged a choice spot. :thumbup:

Works with mine.
Having spent decades working in MT and WY wilderness areas that are home to griz as well as black bears I attempt to follow the basic camping triangle. Even when I use the Ursack bag I hang it. ...
My mistake. I was assuming it was at the stake end due to both the YT video posted by Redoleary on this page., and secondly, unlike the clove hitch the pile hitch exits the pile hitch knot with both...
If the clove hitch is "slippery" it can't become overly tight as you simply pull the end to undo. It also appears the pile hitch is used by tying the cordage to the stake first versus plant the stake...
Ah, code, now I see the problem. Here I thought it was my mental acuity, and hence, ability to mentally follow the twists, turns, loops, and bights was diminishing. Really liked the knots video as...
I understand your approach and I experimented with sliding friction knots on the stake. But in the end I find I default to simply retying the slippery clove hitch as it seemed just as quick to...
The main knots I use on my tarp to stakes is the slippery clove hitch. If I am in porch mode, I use a clove hitch around the end of the poles that are holding the tarp aloft, and then down to the...
Honestly I haven't used it. When I'm backpacking I go with the lightest option, i.e. CF. When I'm at a regular campground I default to the Silnylon because I'm paranoid enough not to completely...
I have and used a 10x12 silnylon that I've had for a long time (cheapest but effective); a silnylon Marpat camo from Mountain Wilderness; the tarp that comes with the Amok (purchased as a used set,...
I have used a Cave Creek Pet Palace especially when bugs are bad, an inexpensive Amazon Alcott pup tent that I used either with the included poles or suspended without the poles, or just put down a...
A couple of thoughts and experiences. I too like the translucent qualities of the Cloud fabric. Plumb cool. Regarding the "rougher feel", since I had a DL .71 Cloud I added a blemished sale Chameleon...
Or worse yet, a cracked block. May neither option befall you.
Watch out for mysterious coolant leaks as it could be a warped head.
I have experience in Hammoktent 90 degree and a DIY 90 degree. I own(ed) a number of GEs and a bridge (WBRR). IMHO, the 90s offer the most comfortable side sleeping for me. As far as sleeping without...
My first hammock was a WBRR. I parted company with the bridge hammocks in favor of a 90* hammock style partly because of the lack of shoulder squeeze common to the bridge hammocks and the improved...
I wouldn't be surprised if one of my Hammocktent 90 degree hammocks or my DIY 90 degree hammock provides as flat a lay. If not, it would be mighty close. Plus, I have an idea they provide a more...
I hope my mistake and then my attempt at humor didn't mislead. I am very happy with my CR UQ and I do hope they are doing well, or are on their way to doing well.
Actually, I wrote to CR and suggested next time they remove the down from the geese prior to stuffing the UQ!
That's why I only use in at home or truck camping. :laugh: My bad, 24.5oz.
I picked a CR 20* Long Wide 850 fill UQ off HF a couple of years ago. It currently resides under my Sparrow that I use daily. i've been plumb pleased with it. It weighs 24.5 lbs. and I've also...
Since Manhattan is a hop, skip, and a jump from Yellowstone NP as well as a number of fine wilderness areas you might give those a go.
As long as you have a support timber/lumber running parallel with the hammock(s) you should be fine. Don't sue me if you botch it.
Sinks Canyon is a phenomenal place. In fact, so is Lander on the whole as it is sheltered from the proverbial WY winds for the most part. Then there is the Wild Iris climbing area that also is...
Fremont County, eh? I was blessed to spend a decade in WY, a year out of Lander and nine out of Blackrock RS near Moran as the Teton Wilderness Manager. A lot of most excellent memories. Our home...
Nothing to do with end whipping but in regards to the calf ridge. I've used whoopie ridge lines on several GE hammocks to achieve a longer ridge line, shallower angle off the long axis, and less...
I'll definitely keep it in mind if I have to truss up an omni or two.
I didn't catch where the hunt was at? CA - Alberta perhaps.
When I clicked last night around 2200 MDT there was two 10' 30*F models available. Ten footers don't cut it, nor does 30*F. I already own a 11' 20*F and checked out of curiosity.
