So would I put a fleece between me and the down....or on top of the down to keep the warmth in??

Hey guys,,,,I noticed I have a small tear in my BIAS hammock....I know it is a "rip Stop" but should I just sew up the hole?....about the size of a quarter.
Thanks

My daughter and I when on a 10mile hike to "Big Tree" in the Sipsy Wilderness Area Bankhead Forest Alabama today....I was a great!!!! day for a hike with her,,,,,she is 12 and is out on Spring break....
I have the Guide Gear® Emergency Shelter....it is 14 x 11 1/2 had it about a year.....been a good one so far!.....for the price...can't beat it as big as it is....it even is "Cat"cut on the sides.
...
say what you want....as I was getting started....and buying EVERYTHING...I bought one of the Guide Gear® Emergency Shelter(the middle link)....ditched the poles.....replaced the cord....cut the sack...
so with the upcoming season.....I have always treated my Hammock and clothes with permethrin......are you guys treating you UQ with permethrin????
Just curious.
Thanks
the wife got me one for Christmas.....it's just fun to say
"BUGINATOR!!!!!!"
I just liked going around the house saying ....."What did you get for Christmas.....well I got a BUGINATOR!!!!"
...
so with the UQ and TQ a body can stay mostly warm in those temps....but what about the face and nose.....I had a hard time keeping nose warm at 30 degrees!
53 now :D
From Athens AL that is
all that...and go watch EVERY vid this guy has!!!.....he ROCKS!!! for a nooby....been hangin 2 years...and still go back and watch Shugs videos!
do you know if you can still buy them??....have not saw them in a while
I use a "Neat Sheet"...they use to sell them...not sure if they do anymore....it has like washers in the corner to keep it weighted down.....its about 4 x 5 foot
no foot box.....but it just seems wrong if I lay the wrong way....maybe it is that I jsut feel more comfortable swinging my legs to the right....and not the left???
that is possable Catavarie.....will measure tonight and see if thats the case.....
if so...that would be about right :-)
well , I am laying diagonal......and I am attaching at aluminum rings.....My adjustable ridge line is almost all the way out at 122.....
when I am at 109....I have so much sag that when I lay...
Ok guys.....all I read is ridge lines that are 90 to 109".... When I put my ridge line at those lengths .......the ridge line is so high I cannot reach it.....and I am laying like a bananna!
I can...
you found the right place......War Eagle!
the issue I was having was trying to dial my ridge line in.....It kept "digging" into the continuous loop of the hammock.....thats why I was trying the rings.
Why do you have 2 rings?......I had...
Success!!!!....had to redo the ridge line...WOW that was a challenge!....that stuff is SMALL!!!!....
I hope working with 7/64 Amsteel is better? :scared: I have some on order...and may return it...
that seems to be the only way to get it like I am wanting it.....undo whoopie...and redo.....That would be great...if I knew how to do that!.....will have to you tube.
What about Paracord as a Ridge line???
is that doable?
I have a adjustable Ridge line.....like a whoopie sling.....
what is a UCR??
ok.....Maybe not enough coffee....maybe just not too bright :rolleyes:
I am trying to attach rings to my hammock this morning....and I can get one side like I want it.....but cannot for the life...
what else would a 3 year old want for his B-day.....an Under Quilt!
here is the pic I saw.....
I saw a pic the other day that had 2 rings at the ends of the hammock(one on each end )....and had questions.
I'm sure they are some super light circle ring(titanium or something)...so I know...
