I have thought about doing this a couple of times. I have been concerned with the UQ fabrics melting. How did the UQ fabric hold up running the heating pad on full?

Peppy,
I just got some samples of Hyper D 1.6 and 1.7 MTN in from Dream Hammocks. I like the feel of the Hyper D more. The 1.7 feels like it is stiffer than the 1.6. I do like the feel of the...
Rusty,
I have both netted and netless hammocks. The netless ones tend to be symmetrical and more versatile to me because sometimes I cant get to right/left lay and I switch left/right lay and...
I thanks for the info.
I am thinking about going to 63 in. for the width. I have the standard 58 in. ones, which are good. I also have the chameleon in the wide version, while I like the extra...
I have not looked at the Warbonnet. I am almost sure I am going to go with a Dream Hammocks Raven. I like the feature set and especially that the zippers are only partial length. and that it is...
Hey guys,
I am looking at getting a new hammock and am having a hard time deciding on the fabric. I have played around with a lot of the fabrics used in hammocks except for the ones I am asking...
I will throw in my two cents on this. I am normally a side sleeper, but in a hammock I sleep on my back.
When I started hammock camping I tried sleeping with and with out pillows and found for...
Thanks for the suggestion. I just ordered one of these to try out, the namaclaw looks interesting.
Well guys, I have been wanting the camo winter palace for years and finally ordered it with the Black Friday sale. Now comes the waiting for it to get here part, I hate waiting but it will be worth...
Thanks for the info on the EE underquilt fit, I had heard this about the old style, but haven’t heard anything about the newer ones.
I am leaning towards the UGQ quilts, just wanted to know about the EE ones since most people on the other forums praise their quilts so much.
Cmc5free – I have had bags with both type of closures...
I am looking at getting a new set of quilts and am having a hard time choosing who to go with. I already have a set of HG quilts, so I want to try something different. Right now, I am torn between...
I will second the motion about length of the hammock. There is a world of difference between a 10 and 11 footer. I have all sorts of issues in 10 footers that I don't have in an 11 Footer.
As far...
I haven't tried hitting it with the disco lights yet ;)
But it did go nicely with my quilts.

I got a chameleon 1.6 wide a couple of weeks ago and have been playing around with it in the yard. I can say that I really like it and it is quickly becoming my favorite hammock out of all the ones...
I have a Dobby 1.9 hammock, it is really comfortable is quickly becoming my favorite hammock.
I had that type of problem when I first started using my incubator. It came from one of two issues. The first was I was hooking it on wrong and the second as down shift. This goes for gathered end...
For the pack normally I clip it to the hammock suspension.
Since I don't hunt I am not sure, but I can see my uncle who is an avid hunter take a gear hammock and put it in there wrapped in a a piece...
I have never had any of my snaps come undone on mine. The snaps are pretty sturdy, if they did come undone it would be because you didn't snap them fully closed.
:lol::lol::lol: This is so true. Maybe we need a hammocks anonymous group too. :shades:
Of course you do!
He who has the most toys wins!!!:shades:
:lol: With this forum you will always be waiting for payday to buy the next gadget or gizmo.:lol::lol:
This material looks sweet.
Stromcrow must be looking into his crystal ball again to do this to me as I just talked myself into putting off getting a summer weight set, with a 5 dollar introductory...
There is nothing specifically designed for this function for the all in one hammocks, that I know about. I believe that most people would just treat the hammock with permethrin in your case, but I...
I agree gear gram is great tool useful for tracking weight.
Now I just need to get a scale, then my family can roll their eyes at me, just like grannypat's do to her. :lol:
You will enjoy it, Hg makes great stuff.
I have a 20 degree incubator and am thinking about getting the 40 for summer use.
I am with Thom here, if I am going to really remote areas I would. Otherwise, I normally carry over sized tree straps and a small length of cord that I can tie/make into anything that I may need in a...
Man this is great, I am going to have to file it for future use. :lol::lol::lol:
I needed a good laugh today!
Is said stupid bone satisfied now?
If you do go the HH route, I would go with the side entry. I have both and hate the bottom. But there are others that love the bottom so it is a matter of opinion.
Yes the HH does include...
I have a friend who is of the bigger taller (mostly taller) who has a HH Safari that he likes. We also both have HH Deep Jungle XL's that we like for base camping.
+1 for the BIAS hammock if you...
I am going to put this one on the calendar and hopefully be able to come. I got screwed for the last one, thought I was going to be able to come at the last moment then things got changed on me...
I agree. You will learn a lot by going to a group hang. Getting to try out different hammocks will set your mind at ease about buying the one or ones you like. :lol:
A BIAS set up is what...
I will second what Owl said. Both are good hammocks, I have an HH ED too and it is a good one. The BB is a good one, but have yet to try one out.
One thing I would recommend is to look in the trip...
Dutch am I correct in assuming with this that all I would need to do is larks head, maybe with an extra turn, an amsteel loop onto the webbing then I would be good to go using whoopie slings, ...
I have a brand new Deep Jungle XL and it has the new end. Received it about 2 weeks ago. The two others from a couple of years ago have the old ends.
This weekend I was out camping with my set of 20 degree HG quilts and fried to death even after it got cooler at about 2 or 3 am. For those who are going to say some thing about venting I had the...
Ditto on the large cotton bags. Using them I can place/throw/stack/hang 'em anywhere that I want too.
I have been a side sleeper for my entire life. Once I got in a hammock I tried to sleep on my side and couldn't get comfortable, so I tried sleeping on my back, which I haven't been able to do for...
Thanks for the video link.
Aint that the truth. I have a whole squadron of hammocks right now that I haven't set up yet.
I am about your size at 6ft and 267 pounds. I have been in several different bridge hammocks now and have found that they are to narrow for my shoulders. To me the bridge style hammocks feel like a...
Thanks for all the replies guys. I will have to try different stuff out now. :eek:
That tarp is a work of art, I want one so badly. I wish I could make that hang to see it but that is not in the cards.
Hopefully, I will be able to order one in he next couple of months.
Have many...
I want to do some splicing to lash it/zing it, to make my own ridge lines and tie outs for my tarp, and have noticed that all the instructions are for amsteel.
I am pretty sure the process is...
I have that set up on one of my hammocks and am going to convert one of my HH's to that set up in the near future. The Dutch buckle with whoopie slings is one of my favorite suspension systems.
Welcome from NC. :shades:
Welcome to hammock forums. I hope you have fun in the journey that is hanging.
I too have had some claustrophobia issues with smaller all in one hammocks, like the HH scout. As far as the all in ones go I prefer something large like a HH safari. But my go to hammock right now...
Welcome and congratulations on the weight loss.
Have fun on the hangin journey. It will be an interesting trip.
Welcome to the forum, fellow Raleighinian.
I believe your youngest has it right. :)
