Done - Found one.

Interesting, I'll check it out.

Thanks

Still making the transition to the ground. Looking for an Appy Trails tent or something similar if anyone has one they are looking to get rid of. Thought I would put a feeler out for something used...

I have a Hennessy Hex I would do for $55 shipped (flat rate box) to CONUS. They retail about $70

Used about 10 times and has whoopies on the ridge line. No holes or tears.

70d coated, stuffs up...

Not trying to be argumentative, but I don't see how it would, the force would be spread over the length of the stick and it would also take any of the friction damage associated with adjusting the...

I tried to search but I couldn't find anything.

Before I start a crap storm too I want to say that I believe and practice treading lightly. Be it hunting, camping, kayaking or offroading I do my...

Well, you guys were right, it is massive, and super comfy, but I think it is too big for the woods.

My tarp just barely fits over it, I would probably get wet if it rained.

I managed to fit my...

It just showed up finally.

I tossed it in the washing machine before whipping it to wash the China off it.

The thing is huger than I envisioned, but that's ok, lots to work with. I think with...

I see.

I guess time in the woods will tell then, the bury is only about 5 inches so I don't anticipate much of a problem with it, worst cast just pop the toggle and unload the line.

I had no problems tensioning those lines, I set one to length and set the lock, then went to the other side and loaded the tarp ridge with my right hand while adjusting the lock with my left, then I...

Inspired by the ease of using whoopie slings and the ease of making them I wanted to incorporate that system into my tarp.

I was able to make a really simple set up with a sliding splice as the...

I have a 12' tarp so I wasn't terribly worried, after the whipping and the sag it should fit under here.

Weight was more my concern. My eno and suspension are 1.75 lbs right now. I just made a set...

I have outgrown my Eno, not literally, but I am ready for something more comfortable.

I had the chance to lay in an 11' hammock and it was leaps and bounds better as far as getting a flat lay.
...

Thanks, I guess I will pass on the rings then and experiment a bit with straps and the marlin spike to see what I can do.

The compression on the line was one worry I had and I really don't like falling on my butt.

I currently use webbing and buckles and it is so fast to set up and easy to adjust, but the webbing is...

I have been searching, but I couldn't find the info I was looking for.

I have the stuff coming to make a new hammock and instead of a webbing suspension I was wondering if Amsteel blue can be used...

Well, I thought I was pretty well set with my configuration, but last night was the second time a shifting winter wind found me under my hex fly. It's not pleasant when it begins to permeate the UQ....

All the diehard reflectix fans here and you left out the totally relevant reflectix sandals picture. :D

Just let her sleep with her handgun, I just put revolver right in my ENO pouch for easy access, mostly concerned with two legged predators though.

What kind of bears are we talking here anyway?...

I considered that, it is a 3/4 zip bag so I thought I would have plenty of space in there, I do tend to do complete barrel rolls though while I snooze, not uncommon for me to wake up completely...

I think I am going to stick with a sleeping bag in the hammock.

I did a test run last night with an unzipped mummy bag and a blanket, my feet kept popping out of the footbox and I dropped the...

I did, and they have 5 dollar shipping right now and a Kelty gear sale so it was marked down to $112.

Based on the reviews I have found and my limited choice I figured I couldn't really go wrong,...

In an attempt to keep this thread updated and help out anyone in the future I am going to make a cross post from another forum.

I ordered the 20* Cosmic Down today, should be a substantial step in...

Around here 40 is a good number for late spring through early fall.

It was over 80 the other day and it is snowing out right now, so the temps can jump around a lot.

Even during the hottest...

I have decided to go with the Kelty Cosmic Down.

But now I am batting back and forth the 40 or 20 degree version.

In all reality the 40 should be fine for 3 season paired with my UQ, and I...

I'm 5'10" and was using it with my head sticking out and then about halfway up my calves stick out.

You could probably pull it off with a piece of reflectix under your feed and calves and still...

I would go with the TQ but the incubator was actually money I shouldn't have spent, luckily I have the Cabelas card to spend on a bag. I figured I could just use it at a top quilt for now, plus it...

I tried once in the mid 60s.

Froze my butt off, maybe if the overnights were in the high 70s I could pull it off.

Thanks.

I did see the Ozark bag in Walmart the other day and took it out and fondled it a bit, seemed like it would be a decent piece of gear if used within its limits.

My gift card is to...

I upgraded from my PLUQ to an incubator and now want to upgrade my MSS patrol bag as well.

Hopefully you guys can help.

I have a gift card to Cabelas for $100 and my personal budget is another...

Been lurking for over a year, decided to join to contribute a little.

Been hammocking for awhile now and finally have it down thanks mostly to advice on this forum.
