PM sent. All yours. Thanks!

PM sent and marking as SPF. Thanks!

It will (even if I have to take it off another tarp ;). Marking as SPF and will PM you in a minute. Thanks.

Up for sale is a deluxe hammock setup. Meant for the big guys out there (or anyone who likes LOTS of space ;). Double Layer HyperD XL (WIDE) hammock, with matching WIDE incubator underquilt (1 extra...

The strings weigh a tiny fraction of a gram. If they were flapping when not in use I've never noticed them to date.





Cuban sleeves. Wanted the lightest setup possible (but with all the...

There's no holes where the tiebacks attach. Just a slightly larger patch of cuben bonded to the cuben tie-outs. I like having them - its nice to make the tarp more airy with the doors out of the way,...

I'll definitely keep my eye on this topic. I've always wanted to kayak a nice remote Maine river (although the Saco seems like it parallels 113 for most of the way???) My dream is the Allagash...

More details please. Start point city (closest), End point city, where camping? Only 2 days? Permits or stickers needed for kayaks/canoes? etc.

We're comparing their V stakes here though - those are heavier than the easily-bent (and with less ground-holding ability) shepherd hook stakes.





There's always something under the ground...

For the weight, I would go with MSR Groundhog MINI stakes. My spreadsheet has 10 of them weighing 3.55 ounces which is 0.355 ounces/each and is lighter than the Toaks Titanium stakes. The Mini's have...

This has always plagued me - over like 4 different underquilts and an even larger number of hammocks. My best solution is quilt hooks sewn into the hammock + a hook for the suspension at either end...

That thing is well over 5 pounds...I just don't see it. You can get a huge cuben fiber winter tarp for just a little more and it'll be like 20% of the weight...

HG used Argon 67 which is a 10D fabric, EE uses a 10D fabric as well which I believe is Nobul 1 and is also a .67oz/sqyd material.

When talking about top quilts (20º in the below example), the difference is actually quite a bit more weight savings, and not quite that extreme of a price difference (but definitely more expensive)....

I've not run into that exact problem before - my bigger problem has always been finding a site that has trees spaced the correct distance apart, especially when there's few pictures online of exact...

My 62 liter packs (both of them with 47 liters of capacity in the main compartment) are absolutely filled all the way to the top of the main compartment with my stuff – and that's only with a mere 2...

It's most definitely compared to like 500 down or something like that – especially if it's a 10+ year old technology.

Are these the Dutch Cinch Buckles? Right on the Kevlar product page is says, in red, "Please note that the Kevlar straps have not tested well with Cinch Buckles."

I have no direct experience, so take that as you will, but if it's pitched high enough it will clear the bridge hammock and work (but of course this will limit the coverage of the terp). I would also...

Most of us stuff it just like everything else (i.e. down products). I personally use snake skins for my tarp, then just stuff that in the outside pocket of my pack, or if the tarp is dry I'll stuff...

Yes, just stuff it in. Or for an easier method use snake skins (which is a small but long tube of fabric - think pantyhose- you pull over the tarp to more easily pack away the tarp with all it's...

FYI, you don't want to ever fold the expensive cuben fabric. Repeated folding in the same spot over and over again will cause the material to rip on those folds. Everyone recommends you stuff it into...

They say the only negative aspect of down is how it doesn't insulate as well as synthetic insulation does when it's wet (which to be honest is only something meager like 6% difference between the...

Hammock Gear Phoenix 20º Underquilt, Titanium Gray Argon 67 outside, Black Argon 67 inside, WITH stuff sack weighed 15.25 ounces for me.

What did your UL weigh?

My regular Dream Hammock Darien, 11', in HyperD 1.6, with ridgeline, continuous loops, organizer, elastic tieouts, and quilt hooks was only 16.37 ounces. Think my lightest...

I ordered a custom extra-wide underquilt from HammockGear.com. Only cost $20 to add an extra chamber running the length of the quilt for extra width (might be a little more if we're talking about a...

They're the option "Door Tie Backs" offered on their site.

And to the OP question, yes, I also have trouble getting the tarp pitched as tight as my silylon tarps would go (and am also worried...

Amazingly, the cord broke both times in areas that never even touched the dutch bling (once on the wrap around the tree, and once between the dutch bling and the tree). Maybe the sheath was...

I had two different lengths of the 1.25mm Zline break the first time I used it on my tarp for the ridgeline (was using it with dutch bling)....and I didn't think I was tensioning it too tight at all...

Most of us have to wrap the straps around the tree a couple times when hanging from smaller trees. It's a necessary evil because a longer strap will always fit on a smaller tree, but a shorter strap...

I'm a firm believer that any of my insulation (sleeping bags/quilts, down jacket, even clothes, etc.) goes in a waterproof dry bag. It gets shoved in there pretty darn tight so it's almost (but not...

Can't comment on use in a hammock, but it's the most comfortable inflatable mattress I've ever used in a tent. Own the Insulated Static V, and the Static V2 for warmer weather.

I would also like to add that many of the tent users here (or *previous* tent users) must have been using the most complicated (and evidentially faulty because they all somehow leak...) tents in the...

I love the Thousand Islands! Beautiful area. Did you get any boating in? The Rift is not to be missed!

Yes Sir. Thank you all! And sorry again for any confusion.

"pending PM" and "per PM" are quite different animals. "Per PM" says an agreement has already been reached by both parties, and the buyer is just posting in the topic as a formality. "pending PM"...

SPF to Fancy Ramen. Sorry punkisdead, he beat you to it by minutes.

The Jarbidge is a great quilt, but you need a piece of CCF (closed cell foam) to keep your feet warm. The problem with your hammock is that it's only a single layer of fabric and many people like to...

I'm the same guy who posted all those times on WhiteBlaze about your setup. I'm glad all the people here reinforced exactly what I said (even to the point of the same "bridge freezes before road...

Their website has the HyperD 1.6 listed as 60". I believe that's the finished width, but am not 100% positive (it'll be close to that no matter what anyway).

Right lay is the default lay for most manufacturers netted hammocks. When you're laying in the hammock, looking straight towards the sky, your head will be to the left of the ridgeline, your feet to...

Randy of Dream hammock wrote "I'm 265lbs myself and I've spent many nights in a single layer 1.6 HyperD with plenty of support for me". It's "listed weight" on their site is 280 pounds. There's also...

Up for sale is a Dream Hammock Darien, 11' long, single layer, in HyperD 1.6 (Charcoal Gray), right lay. Has underquilt/"pack" hook option installed. Comes with ridgeline, ridgeline organizer,...

I constantly fiddle with mine. Even a year later I still can't set it up perfectly at the first go-around. It's not getting the 30º hang angle correct (that's easily perfected with a Hangle), but...

I think boston has it. Top and bottom insulation, weight-wise, are pretty darn equal in weight when comparing a tent vs. hammock. That leads the tent itself, vs. a hammock + bug protection + tarp to...

It also highly depends on how much weight you want to fit in the hammock as well. I'm a big guy, and like a firmer hammock, so a double layer hammock is good for me in those regards. My single layer...

You start right at the ranger station so I would check-in per the rules.

The diamond-shape ropes running from the top to the bottom of the pole (widest in the middle) - is that called a certain thing? Does it prevent the pole from flexing in the middle and snapping?...

Your web guys should have a subscription service, or know of the better free services out there, which will give you a screenshot from literally hundreds of different OS and different browsers...

Although I'm not mad at the ranger per say (just doing his job I guess), but I do consider it to be harassment if somebody goes to where you're living for the weekend, tactical flashlight in hand,...
