It's my go to summer hammock. I'm 6'1" and 265 and it is extremely comfortable for me. Wider than my GT single so it allows me a flatter lay.

That's all I use. I don't own a TQ. Summer Green bag for summer and Black bag for winter. Might try modifying my Bivy for an UQ wind cover, but haven't decided yet.
I only name my guns, but if I named my hammock it would be cloud, cause that's what it feels like to sleep in it.:D
Back in '91 My Boy Scout troop hiked the Kaulalau trail on the Napali coast. It was awesome, some really sheer cliffs on the way and the beach at the end was pretty nice. Be advised though, being...

Hey I'm in E. Helena. Welcom to the forum and to hammock camping. I will never return to ground now that I'm a hanger.
My son saw the sebase on the scouting for Adventure show and wants to go. Might try to swing something in the next couple of years. Looks like it could be fun.
I was using my Hammock for the first time at outdoor leaders training in April and I rolled right out the side and slammed into the ground. The next morning someone asked who was making all the...

Nope. After using them (7/64) I feel totally comfortable and I'm about 290#.

It was great talking to you and Terry at the camporee and you definately gave me and my guys some ideas. We spent a lot of time swapping ideas back and forth. I was surprised at how...
In order to earn the 50 miler award the scouts need to do 10 hours of group service to improve trails, campsites or portage routes. If after checking with authorities and they cannot do that then a...
Great. I'm with Troop 211 in East Helena. I will have my hammock and my not so portable stand in camp. Look for a camo tarp strung over a Viking Dragon ship (that's what the wife calls my hammock...
Great to see another Montana Scouter. I'm in the Prickly Pear district in Montana. Are you by chance going to the State Jamboree in Townsned in June? Would love to hook up with you and check out...
