That makes two of us, fits like it was made custom for the NX-250 & plenty warm.

Have the Vertex with the NX-250 & love it, wouldn't consider a smaller tarp. I also have a Superfly & actually think the construction of the Vertex is nicer, withed they offered a vertex with the...
That sounds like a solution to me, glad your ok !
I liked the concept for me & the wife, the weight didn't bother me as it would be used car camping & canoe camping. It would be fun to play with, but holy crap $$$$$ are you kidding me!!!!!...
I guess this should be moved to the off topic forum... sorry!
Didn't see this posted today, but this couple survived in their hammocks in a New Zealand snow storm.

Great pictures & explanation above, here is a video from this morning it shows my brothers new Flex-180, but didn't go into detail with it.

Finally tried out my New River UQ.... :D
Gotta say, its great... fits my NX-250 perfectly, complete wrap from edge to edge & the full length is great. I can still use the under pockets with no...
:scared:
Awesome & Scary !!! great view, I would stay attached with a rope!!!
I have done quite a few fences with treated 4x4 & seen them break from a stiff wind on a privacy fence. I would use 6x6 or better yet get a used utility pole from the power company & 3 feet in the...
So how many miles will it be & when do they think it will be ready to use?
Just seen an add for them on my Facebook page earlier.... wonder if they are tippy?
That looks like a steal & I know nothing about them...i have a love / hate relationship with Craigslist. :D
I am pretty new to this, did some reading & was considering the WBBB & the Clark NX-250. I decided on the Clark, even with the same concerns as you. I am 6 foot & range from 235-250lbs depending on...
Been thinking about this all weekend & finally decided I couldn't pass up the price. I ordered my 1st UQ... The New River is ordered! :lol:
I will tell the wife when it shows up :D
The thing is, I just got the hammock all set up with the strap & decending rings & now have the amsteel ridgeline & really like the simplicity & quickness of the setup & take down. So I don't know...
I just made my 1st set of Whoopie Slings... Kinda scarry when I hung it from a limb & put a foot in the loop to test its holding ability. All I can say is WOW... I'm impressed, solid as a rock no...
That is awesome!!!
Good hard work guy's... Great job!
While I was growing up, I disappeared into the woods whenever I got the chance. My mom would ask where Troy was & my dad would say probably Woods Walking.
I started using the name years ago on...
Ill take the superfly
Thanks guys, Its so awesome to just think of something... post a question or comment & get such great & fast feedback. :D
Might give a pad a try, since I am a recently new hanger, I have several...
I will have to see if I can find some old pictures.
That would be great, I know it would work, but will probably have to resort to a normal UQ... at least the NX-250 has velco around it by the pockets & around the foot end. Probably can add velcro to...
Right now, just straps & rope on hammock.... will soon be straps & rings.
Tarp I just use 2 S-biners with a prusik knot on each end of the ridge line.
I guess I don't know why compression would be a problem, just add a looser pocket layer below the main structural hammock. It could even have velco or zippered sides to open it or remove it when its...
I live in northern Minnesota & it seems that from all the input & my limited experience so far that unless its 75+ deg. at night (rare occurrence except for a few weeks a year up here), I will need...
I will add some input & pictures or video as soon as it comes... my brother ordered one last week... looks like we have another hanger.
Hoping it will be perfect for him & his 8 year old son on...
Thanks DemostiX, I ordered the descending rings from REI that I will add a 6" loop on each end & leave attached to the hammock & from what you say I will attach aprox. a 100" ridgline to them also....
Well here is a short video of the issue I was talking about, hope this clears up my question.

I am pretty new here & have nothing but thank yous for the members.
I have found HF very informative polite & am looking forward to meeting some of you someday.
I have witnessed the concerns...
Hello from Minnesota, I would love to see Scotland... do you have many trees there. Seems most of the photos I have seen are scattered trees.
Thats pretty some pretty cool places for sure.... thanks for your service!
I heard the loons calling tonight on the lake across from my house :D
Done & Done !!! Good luck to you both!!
I will have to set the hammock up this weekend & take a picture or video, I guess I'm not explaining it very well.
The hoops that spread the hammock & hold the netting & storm shield over the...
So when I put a ridge line on my NX-250 it puts down pressure on the spreader poles, should I move the ridge line further up the suspention rope or route it under the poles? Pictures of your set up...
A video or detailed pictures would be great
Welcome, let me know how the ENO net works out, thinking about getting one myself.
I was thankful that my Clark had a pull loop at the head end the 1st night I hung... used it a few times & then read to put foot end higher, no problems since. The level thing might work, worth a...
That sucks!!!
That cat looks like he is rolling around laughing :lol:
Glad you were not hurt.
Really wanting to do this, but two things will prevent it that weekend.
1) Wifes Birthday
2) Leave on a BWCA trip on the 14th, so will probably end up working all weekend.
:(
That looks perfect, I will have to watch for the dates on this, I was wanting to do the Border Route Trail in the fall... would that be an option or do you usually have this in the same area all the...
Just wondering if there are any annual Minnesota hangs?
I would also consider traveling to twin cities area or western parts on Wisconsin... I'm in Brainerd, MN & basically don't want to spend an...
Check out the new Clark Flex-180, looks roomy as heck for one person & gear
As a hunter, this interests me, but the major thing I see is missing is, its not breathable.... so your natural persperation can't escape, who cares if its water proof, if you move around in it at...

I will be watching this thread close... haven't done anything yet, but am chewing over some ideas.
Easy to see the yellow if it gets dropped or set down!
Ohhh, trust me... have knives, guns, tents, packs, canoes, paddles, treestands, cameras, etc... the list goes on & on :lol:
Like I said, good thing she loves me!
You reminded me, that I had my...
