On one trip I had fallen asleep on my side, and woke up to hear a rustling noise that sounded about 2 feet from my head. I could have sworn I heard a snort, and some nosing through the leaves. I was...
On my last trip it was 85F during the day and was around 65F at night. I thought I wouldn't need any insulation and initially only had a light fleece blanket with me...this was a terrible idea. I...
As others have said the cheap blue poly tarp will be fine to start, but it will take up quite a bit of pack space. Next I would keep an eye out of the Yukon Outfitters tarp that shows up on woot. Its...
I keep some extra biners and cord, so I either hang it from a tree, the end of my hammock, or put its rainfly cover around it and leave it to its "boat" by my hammock.
I have an Owyhee TQ, and its the same width as the hudson around the upper 2/3rds. 5'10" and 245lbs so I'm not exactly small, and the TQ covers me perfectly. I don't personally feel the need for a...
Currently I use the Cub Pillow from AHE, and it has really helped the comfort level when sleeping. In retrospect I'd probably get the Bear pillow instead though, I think I'd like something a little...
7/64 amsteel. I used what was left from my tarp ridgeline to practice making fixed loops.
I have absolutely loved the 4s New River UQ I got during the black friday sale! Paul does amazing work.
I've been eyeing the WBBB XLC, but I wanted to ask here first. Has anyone had problems with...
Welcome! I grew up in East TN. Such a beautiful area to live in.
Welcome! I'm a little way south of you.
What is the width on the 1.9 orange and the length/width on the green taffeta?
Thanks for the ideas everyone! I'll go hunt down a bag to hang them in.
I got a new river and owyhee during the holiday sale. I see that its not recommended to store in the stuff sack. I don't have anywhere I can store them completely flat so I have the owyhee hanging by...
I'm in. Would make a nice present.
I got in my dutch argon 11', and I can say I immediately noticed a difference in the comfort. Most notably was less compression in my shoulder area. Also, the argon fabric feels fantastic!
I...
Ordered a 4s new river and a 3s owyhee today! Are orders still at a ~week to ship or has the sale extended that time?
I'm curious if anyone has experience with this bag. The few reviews on amazon are not particularly positive. If this is a good bag, though, the current coupon code they are running for black friday...
If you click the "3 mode" version of the flashlight its a few bucks more and is an amazon prime item. I can't tell if I'm addicted to buying gear or buying prime items for 2 day shipping.
Pending some amazing black friday deal I'm pretty well set on purchasing a 4 season new river underquilt. That being said I need to figure out the topquilt situation. AHE has a synthetic TQ also on...
This is comforting to know. I was slightly concerned with the dutch hammock being only slightly wider than my current. I've also gotten in 50' of amsteel to play with so I'm going to make an...
I emailed earlier about this, and no these are not pre-sewn.
No spreader bar, and yes I can confirm that is the length. I have the Yukon with net and at 5' 10" I find it too short for my taste.
Before you replied earlier my impulse buy took over and I ordered an 11ft argon hammock from dutch. I don't currently have an underquilt, but I've pretty much decided on a 4 season new river from...
This has been very useful information! Do you have a recommendation on an inexpensive hammock (of a more appropriate size) with a bugnet, or an inexpensive bugnet to go with it? I wouldn't care so...
Being 5' 10" I wasn't aware that 8' 9" would be considered a short hammock, but then again I knew nothing about hammocks when I bought it. I think my feet were pretty level with my head so I'll try...
I finally got home in time to perform my first test hang with my yukon outfitters hammock with bugnet. I replaced the stock suspension with a pair of whoopie slings, and setup was a breeze. Nothing...
Hello from another mobilian!
For what its worth, I order a suspension kit last week, and I did receive confirmation that it has been shipped. Only a few business days for a small business to process isn't too bad, so hopefully...
My sewing skills are basically non-existent, but I'd like to try to save money where I can. I have a reasonable price on down, but now I need the UQ shell itself. I was determined to buy the lewis...
Thanks for the info! I'm from the South Alabama area. I'll keep an eye out.
Hi everyone! I picked up a yukon hammock with bugnet from the recent Woot.com sale. I haven't been camping since my early teens and thought it was about time. I work in IT, and am rather out of shape...
