Actually, in talking to Luke from HG, they were small tent poles - 18" long. They are the smallest diameter that Quest Outfitters carries. You need two without inserts and four with inserts, making...
I've got an '04 NA, now as a backup hammock. I'm thinking I can incorporate some of the new methods on the diagram above to mod my old NA. Thanks for the post.
Well, the BB arrived today. That's two weeks and two days including Memorial Day and two weekends! Will be trying it out this weekend. Thanks to Brandon for quick service and great quality!
Mine arrived today as well. Ordered on 5/22...
Welcome from High Point! You live in a great place to be a hammocker!
This is just a great video. Some terrific tips and ideas. I'm going to take Zodi (35#, Bull Whip (Pit bull/ Whippet mix)) backpacking with me soon and I'll put these ideas to work. Thanks again. PS I...
Welcome from High Point!
Good luck, man. I'll be following you!
So it was only 9 days for shipment? Do you mean Wednesday the 16th? That should be good news for the rest of us...
Looks like I've got some others ahead of me as recent converts. I ordered the 1.7 SL and can't wait to use it. I looked at other hammocks at Trail Days but decided the BB was the one for me. I've had...
I have the non-Z liner model as well, but I would think you would be able to put velcro strips on BOTH sides of the windshield reflector edge. Then just attach it hook-to-loop, loop-to-hook with the...
Look forward to seeing you there and meeting Derek and Dutch...
Count me in
Let me add my welcome to you, Flatline. I'm a fellow High Pointer, so look forward to seeing you around the forum, or maybe in town!

Welcome aboard...

Look forward to your trip report. My wife, dog, and I had a quick hike at the north end of the Uwharrie trail on Sunday.
Count me in as interested. Especially late March.

This is the first time I've really gotten a chance to look at the Z-Liner. A picture is worth a thousand words, indeed. :thumbup:

Looks like Ed didn't make it... Apparently he was talking to insects and suffering from malnutrition.
"Based on a discussion with Ed via his emergency satellite phone, it was decided to pull him...
Yeah, I noticed that too. I guess the web people don't actually watch the video. Or dont' know the difference.
National Geographic will be running a "survival" series starting in September.
In the meantime NG has a website being updated daily with gps tracking and videos as the series is shot. It looks...
Welcome to the forum, Acer, and thanks for the info. Your experience and professional opinion augment what common sense would dictate. Although questioning straps is sometimes like questioning global...
I've not hiked it, but these guys have sectioned hiked the entire trail...
They were at Table Rock on 4/20/08.

Welcome aboard, Hack. I love my NA, but have never hung in jungle! I'll leave that advice to others. Are you going to tell us a little more about this trip?
Hi attroll - saw you there but didn't get a chance to talk to you. Finally got to meet Cannibal and AngrySparrow as well as Brandon. Add one more to the list...

After a quick search, I couldn't find a photo, but by placing a forked, sturdy limb upright, like a "Y", at some point between the two trees you can adjust the sag. So, one end would be attached to...
Sorry, can't recall from last year. I'm thinking the gravel wasn't that long...
Both. IIRC, the last part is gravel.
Van Camp Pork & Beans?
I agree this is a great area to hike 'n hang.
My son and I had planned the same hike as you last May, but couldn't get a shuttle. We wound up making a loop starting at the BS camp, following the...
Done! I ordered it based on your recommendation, FF, I'll figure out how to use it later...
I'm tired of pretending I can correctly tie knots! I have to do it several times to get it right. I...
April 12 is Easter...
May 2 or May 23 (Memorial Day weekend) are good with me
gridge
Those date constraints are the same with me, then I remembered that Mothers' Day is May 10 - the weekend before TD's. You may want to take that into consideration. I've been happily married for 39...
This is really great stuff! Thanks for the heads-up Tim and especially thanks to Ken for all the hard work. I've been thinking about a hike in the gorge for some time now. I'd be interested as well.
I updated the chart for some of the Clark hammocks to reflect the fact that they have tarps included in the stated weights. I also added the NX-200, a longer and wider hammock than the standard NA....
Thanks, John. This will be especially helpful to newbies, I'm sure.

I've got a Clark NA and the pockets work well. Boots, of course in an easy to reach outside pocket. Depending on the weather, I'll keep extra clothing, a pack towel, even my eBook in an easily...
I would love to come too. We attended last year with my grandson who still talks about it. Unfortunately, Furniture Market starts that weekend in High Point. So, we won't be able to make it.
gridge
Thanks, FishinFinn, I see it now. Didn't realize Google Maps did not show all local icons.
Greg
I've tried several times before as well with no success.

It looks like I'll be going to my first hangout this weekend! I'm new at this so I'll probably be asking lots of dumb questions. My wife, 8 y.o. grandson, and our small dog will be there as well,...
