Hangers, I plan to listen to Scott MacGregor's talk at 3 pm at the Adventures in Paddling stage. Rapid media has a booth by the stage. Anyone interested meet by the booth at 2:40 for a 'meet and...

Have been on the forum for about 3 years now (about how long since I stopped sleeping on the ground!). Recently changed my username from freesince83 to OutsidewithClyde to coincide with the launch of...

Have the dates for this trip been confirmed and how many have committed to go? I'm considering joining if there is room.

I'm driving up from Detroit and will be at the show Friday and Saturday. Would be great to meet some of you guys.

My son and I backpacked Ben Nevis and Knoydart in 2013. This resource was invaluable: http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk. Sign up and ask the about hammock camping along your intended route. Also read up...

Yes, hammock.

No ridge line and the tarp laid flat.

The comparison table lists the ENO Single Nest at 9'10" long yet I measure mine at 8'6". I measured from the gathered ends and did not include any of the suspension. Can anyone explain the...

I have not hiked the Manistee (yet!) so unable to compare it to the Jordan River Valley. I believe Piney Bridge (Ridge?) is the only campground. It makes a good 2 day overnight hike if you park and...

My son and I did the Jordan River Valley hike in December. Two days with an overnight at Piney Ridge campground. Beautiful area with lots of diversity. The trout hatchery is a must visit after the...

Welcome from Rochester Hills!

Thanks ARG! Sounds perfect for what we are looking for.

I am visiting my daughter and her family in Clovis, NM this April and plan to do a weekend backpacking trip in one of the wilderness areas. We hope to hang so trees are obviously needed. Could do a...

Welcome from Rochester Hills, MI.

1983 is the year I got sober.

Received my Zeppelin 20o UQ from the Black Friday sale and gave it an inaugural run last night on an overnight on the Jordan River Pathway. The quilt was dialed in at home before leaving. We had...

I use a medium sized REI pillow. Now I am wondering if it is really just a comforter!?

Great video and instructions. I made whoopie slings, continuous loops, adjustable ridge line and 4-foot dog bones out of 7/64 Amsteel. Thanks!

I have a question on hammock length. I measured my ENO SN from gathered-end to gathered-end at 8 ft 6 in. Most people mention 10 ft or 11 ft hammocks. Am I measuring from the wrong points or is my...

What about a butterfly knot on the suspension line? This knot will take a load in three directions.

I am new to the group and considering joining you guys for this hang if there is room for one more. Dependent on my new UQ arriving in time.

Hey Mark1065,

Welcome to the forum. I am also a new hanger and new to the forum. I have been canoeing and backcountry camping in Algonquin Park for many years. The forum has a tremendous amount...

Welcome from a crazy Canuck in Detroit.

I have been preparing for my bi-annual solo canoe trip in Algonquin Park and planning to use a hammock for the first time. Gave my new set-up a test run last night in a cold and heavy...

Real food!

Welcome from Detroit. I am also a newbie.

Thanks for all the great input. I think a square 12x12 tarp is the way to go for what I do. I can use the smaller ENO rain fly if I do any lighter backpacking trips.

Rochester Hills but originally from Ontario. We do a lot of camping in Algonquin Park.

I am an experienced back-country camper but very new to hammocks. I am planning a solo canoe trip in September and plan to only use a hammock and tarp for sleeping. I am borrowing my son-in-laws ENO...

I'm a longtime back-country camper and recently tried a hammock after getting many endorsements from my son. I borrowed his ENO Double Nest and enjoyed 2 nights of very comfortable sleep. The biggest...
