I've got a dual layer hammock AND a wookie, so I could try this easily, but comfortwise it sounds like trying to extend the range of your car by putting a bicycle in front of it and pulling it. Yes...

I did need that, because without it I would lose the benefit of the line staying up without the tarp attached.

However I've long changed my system to use a dutch hook on one end, a dutch wasp on...

I'm also quite a hot sleeper (took my 40°F sleeping bag to 25°F in just boxers & a tshirt for example), but I just can't see myself overheating in a 20°F Wooki in any temperature low enough to need a...

That's a really big 38L backpack. My regular WBBB, UQ & SB, Mamajamba tarp, and the other stuff you name, and my Osprey Aether 60 is pretty much full...
And that's without the camera gear, stuffing...

Another sub-30°F night in my 20° Wooki, making February 8/8 for me. 4 more for 12/12, but it'll only get warmer from here on :-)
...

Can you still use the hammock's tie-outs with the UQ? I'd hate to miss my shelf or get the bugnet in my face...

Otherwise that seems like an amazing place to hang! I've got a Cumulus sleeping bag...

Vent from the top? I can hardly imagine a down 20° UQ being to hot below 70° if you don't have anything on top... Down has a much larger temperature range than synthetic.
Otherwise just take along...

I never get how anyone could put in earplugs or put on headphones and listen to music when soloing in the woods. I'm way too scared that I'll open my eyes and there's be some dude staring straight at...

I never go without a bugnet. Either it's warm out and there's bugs, or it's cold out and the net blocks some wind which makes a HUGE temperature difference. Zipping open the bugnet in the morning you...

if reflect-it is also 1.8mm as I suspect, I'd make the UCR's out of zing-it.

As for doing it on an existing CRL: you need access from one end as you need to splice your CRL through the UCR. Other...

I've got a Cumulus Panyam 450 sleeping bag which I've been using as a TQ in my hammock, as I only bought it a few months before I got into hammocking last year. Honestly I love it, the loft is insane...

extremtextil in germany has them too, bought them there a while back but stopped using them quite fast. Didn't like how much line I needed and how limited the adjustments were. I'd still have to tie...

mini UCR on the tie out with a small fixed loop that fits your stake.

Put the stake in the ground, pull the tarp tight and milk the UCR bury. Done.

To undo, simply slide the bury undone and it...

On the ridgeline I'm currently using about 4" for the main bury.

As planned I got out for a night in the local woods last friday. Temperatures dropped to below 25°F with windchill somewhere around 10-15°F.
My setup went smoothly, had a comfortable dinner in my...

I've been using the mini-UCR's on both ridgeline and tie-outs over the past year.

My first version on the ridgeline had great grip but wore out really fast, because I used 2mm rope spliced...

Managed to sneak in another night in the backyard at 25°F (-4°C) and had my first ever frost in a hammock. Was really surprised to see how wet my TQ was in the morning, simply from condensation.
...

I was waiting for nighttime frost in December to get my one night hang in (since I was already sure more than 1 night wasn't going to happen), but the weather isn't cooperating and we won't have any...

FYI: group hangs don't have to be stealth in France as long as you move each night. In most of france, bivouac is allowed, meaning you can set up camp in the evening and break it up in the morning...

What appears to be missing from your story is Warbonnet's agreement to your return shipment? As I read it you just shipped the hammock back to them on your own, and sent them an email stating you had...

Actually that's untrue.

The "extreme" temperature is defined as the temperature at which a norman human female with adjusted clothing can survive up to 6 hours in foetal position without dying,...

I'm 5'10" and I have the regular. I'm loving it so far.
I sometimes wonder if the XLC would be even more comfortable, but I like having a double zipper and I didn't want the extra weight of the...

Take the chili, so you don't need a second set of insulation, just gas heating!

With babies it's understandable, but "small children" can easily venture away from the safety of the house for a while once they're 3-4 years old. My oldest is 4 and has been with me on 2...

I wouldn't worry about it. Took my 3 season wooki out with 44°F last week and was more than toasty warm in my boxershorts & tshirt. A comfort rating is always made taking into account "appropriate...

I pitched this 2-under-one-roof this summer with a square 4x3meter tarp and a WB Mamajamba.

There's also a few classical "tent" pitches for a square tarp like the DD 3x3m:...

Got my november in. Still way too warm outside to call this testing my gear, with temperatures never going below 40°F.
...

I have limited UQ experience, but I'll add this: my hangin' buddy uses a 3/4 winter Yeti, I use a full length 3 season Wooki. Last saturday we went camping with nighttime temps in the low 40's and I...

My personal preference - and I'm not even sure I could join - would be something like the Vosges. Plenty of forest to hang a group hang.
Personally though I have little interest in doing long...

After 2 months of stressing and waiting, my wooki finally arrived 2 days ago. Spent my first night in the backyard and I can happily confirm this thing absolutely deserves the...

Did the same with my blackbird. Ordered it from Brandon, had it shipped to a friend in the USA, who then took it on his trip to Europe, where he was supposed to hand it over to me. Due to misaligned...

So right after the Wooki came out I no longer could resist and I ordered one. However since Warbonnet doesn't allow the international distributors to sell their down products (why is that?) I was...

Since I've noticed my bugnet easily adds a couple of degrees °C I'm going to keep it on all winter.
Also helps with the mental "wall" thing you have in a tent.

That and the fact that mine isn't...

you would literally need nothing more than a few inches of zingit and a rubber band. Gram counter or not, if 3 grams makes the difference on your pack, take an extra bathroom break before you leave...

Quite sure this is one of the main reasons, along with safety and useability. Climbing a tree using 1" wide straps seems impractical...

There's no "best" way to hang it, only the way you like it best. You will need A ridgeline, maybe not a continuous one, but without a ridgeline your tarp will be a sheet of fabric draped on the floor...

That I can fully agree with.

Believe me, I have a huge dislike for terrible customer service and am very loyal to companies who stand by their warranties (KOSS headphones & Leatherman are two great examples!). The point is that...

While it might have been a better idea to triple check with the customer, I'd have to say that issueing a refund (for which the client asked in this case) is a lot easier than sending them a product...

A neoAir XTherm is R5.7 so you wouldn't even need that yoga mat for pretty much any normal temperature.
That xTherm alone should take you past -40°C/-40F on the ground. Combined with the yoga mat...

Congratulations slugbate :-)

I'm at 3/3, after the fall hang with a local hammock group. Had an awesome weekend with 68 people attending, lots of workshops and lots of kids running around...

around the bury, right?

Hmz, I don't have any thinner cord than the 1.75mm zingit, but I'm going to see what I can find and whip the ends of my mini-ucr's. They might just work the way I made them if I add whipping.

I'm using them without whipping, like the ones I showed in my original post in this topic. The main bury is somewhere around 7-8cm I believe (around 3"), but I'll have to check that.

Spent last weekend in the woods with my setup. Conclusion: my mini UCR's on the ridgeline are too mini. They slipped ever so slightly, but enough to move about 2-3" every few hours, rendering the...

I hate prussiks because they bundle up after a lot of use and stop sliding smoothly. Tato's probably work fine but they require you to leave the crl slightly loose so you can wrap them around the...

I've since altered the design to include some Dutch bling, but if you were to do the original I'd advise for 1.75mm lash-it (grey) as a ridgeline and 1.75mm zing-it (yellow) for the UCR's and...

Firstly I don't get the "everything wants to kill you". 99% of these animals will only attack out of self defence. Heck I'd want to kill you if you decided to roll over ontop of me!

Secondly: thin...

I'd expect they do the same as I'd advise for a hammock: close your zippers :-P
