I really like my Switchback 1.1 DL -- made right here in good ole NC.
Welcome aboard from New Bern, NC. You will learn a lot from this esteemed group of hangers.
I have the 12' RL on my HG Cuben. Basically, all you have to do find trees that are the right distance apart. Tarp w/ doors (& guylines) still packs down to a small package and fits with reasonable...
I would tend to side with Acer on the Hammock Gear 4 Door/4 Season Tarp. I have this tarp and I just flip the doors out ot the way when I don't need them. Easy to deploy if you do need them. Very...
I know this is outside of your budget, but if you could save an additional $150 (or sell some stuff), you might want to look at the Hammock Gear Cuben Fiber Tarp. The standard RL length is 11' with...
Welcome aboard from New Bern!
Welcome aboard from New Bern.
Okay ... I'll give it a shot.
My personal hammock is a Switchback 1.1DL, so I'm predisposed to be a fan of TTTG. The subject hammock is a 1.9DL. Without putting it on a scale, there was no...
UPS Ground has estimated delivery for Thursday, August 15. Currently tracking for on time delivery.
Sending to Ironfish45 today (8/8).
I used mine (1.1 DL Switchback) a couple of weekends ago for a 3-nighter up at Grayson Highlands. Used a pad instead of the my UQ due to the temperature. Pad slid right in between the layers and...
Package just arrived to me on 7/22. Will give it a try and send it on to the next one in line.
Catavarie, it looks like I won't be able to make it after all. Life seems to be happening all over the place right now. I have gone into the spreadsheet and have removed my name, etc. Thanks again...
I have enjoyed saying "Smoked Butt Hang" around the house. My girls giggle almost everytime. Wife gives me the eye, but follows with a grin. We're all looking forward to being there. Maybe 4WLO...
Thanks for the update, Dale!!
Who has it now? Let's keep it moving along ....
I'm planning on being there. Will have some combination of wife/children with me for an overnighter (one hammock and one or two tents). Whoever does not stay the night will arrive on Saturday for...
I've seen people put some sort of narrow v-shaped channel in their cutting table. Maybe used a router or something. I've seen some that have an aluminum piece put into the channel. In any event,...
My wife just called me. Said a package from Hammock Gear had arrived. Remarked about how light it was. She can't believe it contains an Incubator, Burrow (long) and 4 Season Cuben Fiber tarp ......
Another coastal welcome from New Bern.
I'll echo L.D. Cakes and others who have expounded on the quality of the workmanship. I recently ordered/received a brand new 1.1 DL Switchback. Finally was able to hang it earlier this week and...
Amen to that. Ordered some things a couple of weeks ago and had the same experience. Same day e-mail confirming order and shipping info. Received package 2-3 days after that.
Has anyone used PMI accessory line (2mm, 3mm), sold at REI, for tarp guylines and/or continuous ridgeline? Pros/cons, successes/failures, tips/tricks?
Thanks
I have these in size 11. Great pair of boots. Have put many a mile on them.
I have done the same for a 1 qt. Ziploc twist top container and an Evernew 0.9L pot. Did take a bit longer than I envisioned, but what the heck, not a bad way to spend some time puttering on some...
Welcome from eastern NC.
Tell Natalie MacMaster we all said hello. Saw her in concert down here a couple of years ago. Fabulous fiddle player and dancer.
Great pics!
Thanks for the visual aids (including the news anchor) ....
What is the ridgeline length on the tarp?
Do we have an update on the current location of the Switchback?
Hello from eastern NC. Both sets of grandparents hailed from Newport News. One set were raised in the tidewater region, other set "re"-settled there after moving around for a while. ...
Mr. Tattoo ... You Da Man!!
Welcome from eastern NC. I think I might prefer being near where you are, however. Have visited Lansing several times and absolutely love the area.
Ever been to Phipps' Store on Friday nights?
Another hello. This time from eastern NC.
Already ate my poptarts today -- frosted strawberry. Yummy!
I like the sign at the trailhead with the warning about the weather conditions. Had the family up there in May, took a picture with everyone around the sign. Beautiful, sunny day. By the time our...
I'm on the list. Super idea!
PMing you w/ details.
I'm thankful for HammockForums. Therefore, I have just become a Donating Member.
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.
Welcome aboard from Eastern NC.
Welcome aboard from eastern NC ...
This is not a hijack attempt ... just asking if a 70 liter pack is a good overall size for the bulk of hammock camping opportunities.
Maybe Dutch can weigh in on this topic. I met him at the Grayson Highlands Hang back in Sept. He had this cool way of keeping his guylines tangle-free that involved a small strip of velcro he had...
Appreciate the heads up, rip.
Gotcha ... BTW, with the spreader bars, it looks like you have cathedral ceilings in that rascal! Also, the Incubator looks like it was made just for the SB. Nice looking rig.
Spaceweasel, what are you using for the spreader bars for the bug net? The hammock does not come with these, correct?
Welcome from New Bern!
Ordered -- early birthday present to myself.
Welcome from eastern NC!
Welcome from eastern NC. I've got some friends who have a place up in your neck of the woods in Sagamore Beach. Went up for a 10 day visit a couple of summers ago. Great area to spend some time,...
