Second that, my buddy used that same UQ on the Wonderland thru hike we did a year ago.
That my friend is just what I wanted to hear.
No problem, that is the crown jewel of all my hikes. It was strenuous and I would have taken 10 days and done 2 resupply points not just one. the up an down is killer but thats how you get the killer...

The zipper pull on my mont bell back in the day stretched out some places but never ripped or put a hole a black bird. I cut the metal pull off and used 550 cord like superslow said.
I used this kit for a year and then sold the pack. It didn't really hold up like I thought it would especially carrying no more than 10lbs. I switched out to dutch biners and ditched the tree straps...

Scott is a great guy, the hammock that I have been hanging in for the past 3yrs is made from fabric I got from him, also I still have an original winter dream tarp from way back. I will never get rid...

Light, compass, knife are around neck and no I have tp just left it out . I just weigh the stuff sack. Tree straps are incuded in the hammock and suspension.
Mugs, after seeing yours i wanted one. I just haven't seen one let alone on sale.
The pack just got lighter! Pulled the trigger on a BPL firelite 550. They were on sale and weigh just 2.2oz! That shaves 2.6oz of the cook kit!
but that is why I carry a hammock. A Diy that is huge compared to nano 7. I fell out of one because it is too narrow and returned it so i made my own.
Hey this is hammock camping. I have always associated that stigma with ground dwellers.
For a hammock hanger has to carry more in the ways of a bigger tarp, under quilt and the hammock its self with...

almost every thing I have is cuban now , pack, tarp, stuff sacks ect.I have some cuban coming from hammock gear this week! P.S and its not a tarp!
Selling my 2/3 uq to finance other gear. Quilt is in black and grey and is in great shape not to much use except in winter to go under my feet past my crows nest like shug does with his frankenquilt....
ill take the simmer lite
well i dont think you'll see that in my pack how the hell you do get the thing in the tree with out a latter?
hanking or what I do is fold the tarp over on its self three time using the ridge line. Then I roll it down to the bottom where the lines are still hanging and wrap them around the tarp
like so
