Got notice of my 'leftie' yesterday...this is my second. Can't wait.
I've used my silk cocoon liner in a sleeping bag on the ground and gotten about 7 degrees more warmth. Was really great for extending my 45 degree summer bag at the end of the season. For the...
Just placed an order to cover a two hammock setup. Promises a May 4th delivery. Do the #4 HH snakeskins work on this thing?
Trooper, Are the 4 and 6' strap lengths used with whoopie slings or directly attached to the hammock?
Guys, I'm having a hard time picturing the two hammocks/two tree set up. I got it that you...
Congratulations!!! Great gear.
Oh and something tells me, between the rest of us, we keep the other vendors busy too :D
Thanks! Do you and your son use a three tree system when you hang together (ie. same head but different foot trees)? Do you stake out both sides of the WB or just the sides away from each other?
...
I'm trying this next hang. Thanks!
Hello more experienced hangers than I,
Surely some of you have faced this challenge. Can anyone advise on a tarp setup that will allow me to set up two WBBBs close together so me and my honey...
All the suggestions so far have been right on. Those 3/4 length UQs are terrific for those who want no extra weight/bulk in the pack. But for those of us who do not hang as much as we wish we could,...
Really enjoyed reading this and seeing your photos. Time to get out there!
I ordered the guylines with my Spinn deluxe and they've been great. I've got them attached to the tarp with sliding knots for quick set-up and use the reinforced silnylon bag they came in to carry my...
Beautiful. Looks like great workmanship...
My prayers are added to the others here and elsewhere...reminds us all how vulnerable our passion to be outside can leave us sometimes.
...and hoping I can protect the time. I'd love to meet all of you. Your insights have helped me tremendously with my new set up.
Used to be there was a little airport in Groseclose, just outside Marion on Rt 81. Its not a commercial airport but if you have access to small planes, I think it is closer than Tri-cities.
I agree with Angry Sparrow. My Deluxe covers nicely but not too much to spare. Anything less and I would have less confidence in its ability to cover. BTW, it is a wonderful tarp. It has really...
Thanks for the reminder WBG. That loss of 6" using the UQ on top is significant enough to think consider carefully.
While we are on the topic, if someone had both a MW3 and MW4 which would you recommend to use as the UQ and TQ to get maximum warmth? I'm rather new to this - joined the hanging world this summer...
Just to add, if you have the SpinnUL MacCat deluxe, Brian says you don't need any tensioners.
A friend of mine who has had extensive military experience sleeping in hammocks in the jungle, recommends cutting a tennis ball in half, treating the outside with an insecticide and threading one on...
I just got my BB back in May but have had no problem with stretching. Are you putting that knot behind the ring buckle?
Update on Billslade_
Was out tending to the section of the AT I oversee in the North portion of SNP and who should come through but.. Bill and his dad. I'd read the posts here and knew of their...
I use the MaCat Delux SpinnUL and find the extra coverage has been worth the few ounces in some pretty major rainstorms.
I just jumped in myself. Received my BB three weeks ago and Brian's ultra cool SpinnUL tarp and there is no way I'm going back. :scared:
Hung the hammock on the last few weekends and all I can say...
I can't believe I never heard of that...toes?
Doesn't look like I've been added yet...help appreciated!
Can you explain the connection between blisters and duct tape???
Glad to see this thread! I'll be hiking from just North of Roanoke to Waynesboro during the second half of June and trying out my soon to arrive hammock for its first real run. What insulation do you...
I recently came back to backpacking after twenty years of doing other things and had to gear up again. I used a lightweight MSR Hubba Hubba tent that could cover me (no pun intended) for both hiking...
...they came in today! 40" x 61"
New to the forum and would greatly appreciate it if you would add me to the map:

What might you use for insulation in May, say? I've purchased the BB, a SpinnUL and am trying to decide on insulation for a ten day hike on the AT in Virginia in June.
