Thats what im talking about.. im not sure about the hardware version but i do like the simplicity of the 2 mini biners + 1 prussik for the tarp ridgeline.

Even the buckle have change.. i have gotten the wrong buckle 3 years ago because warbonnet was out of 1" buckle (i have ~1.25" for the 1" webbing). Made no difference for hanging but i did damage my...
I used my first hammock for the first time at -11 Celsius (12.2 fahrenheit) in the winter, feb 2010 without underquilt.. i sure discovered that i could upgrade back then..
I plan on keeping the...
Hi guys,
My last post is from more than 2 years ago.. still hammocking all over the place in Canada.. and i have never really improved anything for a long time and could use your knowledge / new...
If i bring something with us, it will be sattelite anyway. But was wondering if i could just pay high canadian roaming charge instead.
The spot connect seem to do the job!
Its really not vital but.. Do you guys get any cell tower signal in the high peaks? I am concidering a spot connect since the gf need to know if i was eaten by a bear.
I would be affraid to compress my uq down too much in a long run using it as mattress inside. Didnt thought about body heat and moisture but its a good point.
once again, thank you all for your input!
My brother and I sat down and tried to decide between going to Pharaoh Lake (i gotta say i love the name) and doing a round trip around duke hole / cold...
jpkeo, I just read your trip around Pharaoh Lake.. can you please elaborate a little on this sentence

thank you for the links Veto 65 and jpkeo .. as soon as i finish reading here i'll go read all there is on hammock forums about it
while I was answering this thread, i came up with the idea...
That would be kinda unpleasent to arrived from a 20km trek to find someone else already installed in the aimed designated site! I dont do trail often, I always go off trail, on survival trip or 100%...
Actually, i dont have a link.. i just heard "adirondack trail" was something like the Appalachian trail... a huge hikeable trail pretty much (really lack of info on this one).
I really hope to NOT...
I would really appreciate your input guys..
Not knowing a whole lot about the Adirondack Trail.. and while i research the internet for info..
Is pretty much the whole Adirondack Trail hammock...
Just came back to the forums after a few months of being away..
Since that post, i have never went back to NOT bringing the UQ and it became a part of the minimum hammock setup to bring ... never...
Turned out it was a a lil cold .. Took my UQ (thank god for that) thinking it would be more than enough.. No jacket, nothing on my head, no hot socks.
Result: my back was toasty (uq) and got cold...
Are you guys not affraid to damage your precious UQ with other gear (but i understand that its not a problem for me, everything is well taught off and classified in pouchs inside the backpack)
...
I agree that its better to be safe and bring it than sorry and get cold.. also that the UQ is very lightweight.. but it does take a good space in my pack (this week end, i was planing on leaving my...
At which temperature do you feel safe to NOT bring your UQ with you ?
There is a wind factor that "could" but probably not make a difference and the min temp for me this week end is 14 celcius...
I have been out of the game for a while due to back injury and to MY knowledge, it was the lightest water filtration system available without chemical. The seam sealant to fix my old one was...
Thank you for the info, i'll stop searching :)
And from what i have read 5 min ago, looks fairly easy to make another one myself. I was just planing on being lazy and buy one :)
Is it still available.. I can't seem to find it anywhere on the website .. I loved my old one for its overall weight :boggle:
Welcome and bienvenu from Montréal.
In the last 30 years, I heard more people from the USA sayin' ..eh.. jokes that i have met Canadian actually saying it.. i guess its not a east coast thing!
My lowest without underquilt was 12.2 ºF near the national park in Mauricie, North of Quebec City. I had a blue foam as isolation.. less impressive than most but its my personal record :)
I didnt thought the it had been shipped yet since i had no news or tracking.. and im pretty lucky with custom most of the time but ton think it arrived at the custom yet..
thanks for your answers...
Mine just crossed the border.. I can see it from my house.. come on Canada Post.. hurry!!
Ordered a Big Mamajamba w/panel pulls (i) - silnylon around the 8th.. 15 days ago.. someone got a clue of the approx time it take to get shipped.. if someone happen to have received one recently.....
someone happen to have the average weight of that small black figure 9 ?
does it add a few oz to your setup.. ?
I did 1 year hammocking with a 20$ Canadian Tire (aka cheaparse) Tarp and wasted 60$ on a great sil nylon tarp that is too small but does barely the job (MEC Silnylon was ok and it worked.. but its...
We are worried that some beast may attack our packs but sometime I think that through the eyes of a black bear.. we are like a huge human taco sleeping in our hammock .. hook just at the right height...
I didn't even know that Black Friday was that crazy in the US.. in Canada its day as usual.. next year, i'll be prepare for deals and such
I use a small black waterproof bag, strong enough to hold my weight as a chair

Untie the bag at the top of the chair-tripod and I...
I got the worst timing in history.. I ordered 19 days ago because I gave my UQ as a gift.. for free...
story of my online life
our wives and girlfriends.. off course! They want to know where our money is spent
Winter cost me a lot $$$ in gear.. its the time where i order online the most.. waiting for snow to melt!
Last year, i couldn't wait and my first hang was at minus 11 celcius with no underquilt.....
Always had a RL over in summer, and under in winter.. but was tying impossible-to-undo knots at each end once the tarp was in position :rolleyes:
this year, i'll go "prussik" on my ridge line..
...
fixed my problem, i have ordered a Big Mama with side pulls now and will order a superfly later this year for winter.. im not a gramaniac but a few oz is a few oz saved and i have never had doors on...
I would appreciate if someone can give me a url/link to their stuffed superfly in its bag.. i'll keep hammering the search button meanwhile.
im planing and would appreciate to see a pic
Same for me.. ordered 2 blackbirds 1 year ago (to give one to my brother) and had an excellent service from Brandon... I didnt/never ordered at xmas time so never had problem with delay and such....
hahaha... thank you for your concern.. are you selling something ?
I wrote him 2 hours ago and for my part, i carry the weight on my back so I prefer to keep it light as much as possible. I think...
my next choice is the BigMama but.. i want to give a chance to the Superfly.. thats why im asking for an estimate timeline for the BO ..
Back order usually means, days, weeks or months :)
I need to order one and my wallet is too heavy right now.
Since its about -13 celcius outside, my next wilderness trip will be in approx 1½...
care to explain me the no-stretch factor ? I usually wake up with no sag that would be a problem with my el-cheapo-sil-tarp
And pack size is important, but not as much as weight
Probably not but..
Any idea how long can it take for the Superfly to become available.. ? Maybe according to same occasion in the past where it became BOed.
im so ready to pull the trigger on...
from my point of view.. its a a 75$ more for 2.25 oz lighter..
but i agree its tempting.. i am just afraid that spinnUL would be easier to rip by accident
I thought it was Jenny.. doh!
Glad to see you still out there mbiraman.. im reading forums and ordering gear all winter and disapear into the wild when the snow melt :)
Done and done.. Order with usps and email sent to adam..
Who is Thoren? I have been in the coma the last few months
I am ordering a Phoenix as a gift to my brother.. i get a "Best Way" shipping option.. never heard of that before, is it one of those thing that only work in the US ?
If that is the case, i need...
since the superfly is back of order.. i think the BMJ is the answer..
the only decision left to make is.. trust china tailor over Brandon :)
so both have tie-outs, same size.. it came down to superfly+builtin door or no door BMJ (i know it can be added from the web site, just narrowing the choice)..
Thank you for the info, my english...
