I have been experimenting with over the pole tarp and under the pole tarp placement. I like over the pole better for the extra height but when it rained I had water dripping on me from the pole. I...

I really needed a stand for Boy Scout summer camp. We will be in a big field with no trees in sight.:(

I built my set this weekend and got the hammock set up real nicely after only tipping over...

Before I got my full length winter UQ, I was using an old Jarbidge partial UQ and a blue Walmart pad down in the 20's without a problem. I had some condensation on the pad. The UQ helped with the...

Very glad to hear that. I ordered one last week. :laugh: Just have to wait a few weeks for it to come in.

Well this weekend I got back out again on a 20 degree breezy night. Stayed warm all night except for some CB for awhile when I first got in the hammock. But overall, much happier and looks like this...

Do you keep the 30 degrees on the foot end or the head end? Or do you just split the difference? I was wondering which is more comfortable.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I worked on it in my basement some in the last few days. I set up a fan pointing at the feet end to see if I could get rid of the gapping. I cinched everything down...

I am thinking of starting to build one of these stands soon. I recently purchased a Blackbird XLC and the instructions talk about having the foot end higher than the head end to eliminate the calf...

For the last couple of years,I have been very happy with a BIAS camper hammock with a Jarbrige partial underquilt. But I was looking to dive into winter camping more without resorting to using a pad....

I ordered a 1.7 SL BB XLC with the top cover on January 8 and received it today. Two weeks exactly just like the website said. The wait was hard but hopefully worth it. I will be hanging in it this...

Added my location in Painesville, OH.

Thanks for the entry.

Well I got out my digital food scale last night and weighed everything. With all the suspension they include it was about 31 oz. I stripped everything off and got it down to about 16 oz. I don't know...

Yeah, it has Grand Trunk printed on the bag. I guess it's an older or new model from anything they have online. I am thinking the weight must be a misprint. You couldn't get a hammock with an...

I pulled it partially out of the bag and it definitely has a bugnet. The washing label says it is polyester and nylon material. It feels heavier than 12 oz. but I don't have a scale here.

I just received a Skeeter Beeter UL hammock from The Clymb sale. It was suppose to be blue but instead its red. I was looking on the internet and am confused if I even have the right model. This...

I have been a very happy owner of a camper hammock for little over a year. I have used it many times over the last year. It just made it through a straight week at Boy Scout camp with rain almost...

I just did my first week at Scout camp with a hammock. This was my longest time in a hammock- a whole week. The other scoutmasters kept bugging me all week to come to my senses and go sleep in a tent...

I survived a week of Scout Camp where it torrential down-poured for several days. Our campsite was on hill with a cliff at the edge of it. I always put my boots right where I step out of them to be...

Thanks everyone. So it sounds like if I make the loop my prusick knot is on longer and attached the end that comes around the the tree to that loop, I will create a parking spot for the skins. I will...

I'm hoping the more experienced hangers can help me.

I have my tarp setup with the 'V' so I don't have my hammock lines hitting it. I just got some snakeskins for stowing and setting up the tarp....

I'm heading out next week also. Heading to Frontier Camp in Pioneer, Ohio. So glad that the heat is suppose to break by then. Although if it would have stayed in the 70's at night I would have to...

This would be helpful advise. I was looking for trees to set up at a campground this weekend. Quiet a few had the 'fuzzy' vines going up the side. I would imagine the tree straps being on them all...

I see lots of Ohio people on the boards here. Too bad I can't check out the hang on the 22nd. Off to Cedar Point with the family for some fun.

Hello,

I'm just starting into hammocks after having several of my trail buddies transition over to it last year. This forum is already proving valuable to help me out as I get my setup going. I...
