I was typin as u were apparently. and that makes me feel a lot better then. id guess at the rate of the amount feathers I see vs usage of the quilt it would take a very long time to really notice a...
yes definitely looked it over and there are no holes. I spent a bunch of money on them and I baby the crap out of these things. I just find feathers sticking out of the material sometimes. All over...
I have had my WB yeti for about a year and a half now. Only recently have I started 2 use it. And I have used it a lot, 10-15 times in the past couple of months. Anyways what I am wondering is that...
Back window of the old exploder.
I saw a youtube video at some point about a guy who did a thing. I copied that thing last week when I did a 5 day Foothills trail hike, and man it changed my life.

I would plan on bringing a bugnet. Already seen those bloodsuckers flyin around the house here.
Lets start guessing. Well since he said he has 5 and needs 8 to 10 more, im gonna guess that its some kind of ground stake.
Im gonna change it up a bit for my hike in. Its an amazing hike from the fish hatchery parking lot down the east fork trl to the "base camp" area. That is as long as I can get a dog sitter. Ive...
I used my escape bivy without an underpad or quilt in early august, HUGE mistake. I didnt expect it to get cold enough for any under protection. I havent tried it since but i do carry it with me...

Camo superfly.
When i owned only 1 tarp, i too thought it was the one of the best, but that was about 1.5 years and 4 new tarps ago. It is a great tarp though.
Thats very interesting, i only use 4 stakes as well but i use my hiking poles as my tie outs, along with some cord. again very cool setup.
I was wondering about how long it takes(turn around time) for a zipper mod on my HH explorer UL. also I was wondering if u guys would have to undo my suspension to complete the mod process?

Sit in youre hammock, take youre shoes off and then tie the laces together around your ridgeline then push them all the way to the foot end of your hammock then toss em out and zip it closed. Youre...
I dont know what youre asking. Ive done alot with amsteel but im lost as to what you are trying to do. So are u trying to make a whoopie or a ridgeline?
Well if Shug says its okay then its definitely OK.
Gear anticpation is awesome. I ordered a superfly and an UQ and coudnt wait to get it. Something happened with my confirmation # and it kept sayin that the status was delivered on the same day it...
You should just send your original backpacker to the 2qzq people and have the sew u in a zipper.
well it does make it alot easier. also i found that using blue painters tape rolled (around the tapered end) into a point makes it very easy to work with. all i use is a pen and a pair of scissors to...
so that it doesnt create a stress spot at the end of the bury. dont know if that makes any sense or not. i made some a while back without tapered ends and at the spot coming out of my hammock the...
