Wow, great work, and great mom/er/dad? Whatever!

It is wonderful to see kids happy.

Having watched many Shug videos, in order to get started, I can only say, Shug is a star. The production quality is excellent, they are infectiously uplifting, high energy, wild, and creative. If...

Very entertaining video. Ouch... some of those falls must hurt, especially the one across the back. There is knowing how to fall, and still falling.

Thanks for another great video. :lol:

This is my first youtube post, and am still a neophyte. So please don't laugh too hard at the saggy ridge...

My 'seconds' travel hammock arrived today. For the life of me I cannot understand the complaints I have seen on various sites, you tube, and some posts here about problems with threads. The...

Nice photo. But what is that green stuff on the ground?

Great post Frost. You prove that we not only learn from our mistakes, but from others. Some fabulous ideas on 'what not to do'.

You have saved many on this forum hours of wasted and frustrating...

Just ordered an XL tarp from DD for winter use. Also trying out a 'seconds' traveller hammock, for 1/2 price.

Now anxiously awaiting...

My take on the matter is simple. Synthetic bags are great when you first get them, but they don't last. My wife and I bought REI down bags when we got married in 1975. The bags are still...

Welcome aboard from the land of ice and snow. Australia is one of the places I have to get to, and given that my daughter is mad in love with an Australian, I may get to know it better than I ever...

Hi

I've been lurking this thread. I am a new hanger, though I've spent a couple of nights in the back yard, between the trees at the back of the lot, and survived no trouble to -17c. I have done...

Great video. Good ideas for cold weather hammock set up.

Oh yes, very tastefully designed socks. :shades:

I am new at this, but have spent a couple of nights out in my back yard, the lowest temperature was -17c. I used a blue closed cell foam and an old polarguard bag between the Mosquito hammock...

Hawk-eye; the name is right on. Brilliant post. Laughed a lot, or LOL. As a dad of three, young adults, truer words were never spoken.

Still smiling.

I looked at all the photos. Wow. What a nice piece of work, nicely designed, nicely made. Great skills.:thumbup1:

Had a nesco for at least ten years until it died a couple of months ago. It had pretty heavy use drying veggies from my garden over the years. We did a lot of dried peppers, tomatoes, mint,...

As a newb to this forum, but who has participated for years in various motorcycling fora, Canada is often treated as one region, which if you think about it is just weird. So regional fora don't...

I too am new to this hammock camping thing, though I have done winter camping over the years. I think the advice to set up at home first makes good sense. I set my hammock up in the back yard, I...

Got to add a ditto. Great report, great photos. As others have said, you were fortunate to have cell service. Up here in the frozen north, you don't have to go too far before it is gone.

Is it appropriate to keep posting questions in my own thread?

Anyhow, the local MEC has hennessy snake skins for a good price, about $14.00 as I recall. Will my claytor jungle hammock fit into...

Although I hung the hammock up a few nights ago, with New Years and family, etc. I didn't spend a full night out, though I napped in it during the day. Well last night I headed out and spent a full...

Okay, newb alert! :blush::blush:

When I looked at the claytor, laid out on my floor, I could see that it was rectangular, which leads me to believe that there is no right or wrong end for one's...

Wow. Looks like fun. Summer somewhere else in the world. Very nice.

Wow great advice DemostiX. I will try that.

Two shots of the hammock in the back yard...

Set the hammock up today in the back yard. Apologies for lack of photos. It was -15c. Although I set up inside using different add ons, clips, and so on, outside, I found the basic stock setup the...

The Mosquito Jungle Hammock arrived today. What a tiny bundle. 3lbs 9.5 ounces with everything it came with, straps, and small bag with black rope lengths, I assume for the tarp.
:boggle:

Here...

Tom got back to me promptly after I placed my order. The hammock will ship on Friday. I can't wait to set it up in the back yard and try a night out in the cold. I've pulled out my down bag,...

Hi
Tonight I bit the bullet and sprung for the Claytor Jungle Hammock. Why:

$150.00 plus $20.00 for postage for a hammock and fly is a good price.
The Claytor JH has a double bottom. This is a...

Thanks for the suggestion DemostiX, though when I checked the DD site, and added the numbers up, 930 g for the hammock, 230 g for the netting, and then 650 g for the 3x3 tarp, = 3.99 pounds, which...

Thanks for the welcome Brian. A winter hang sounds like fun. I haven't winter camped for a few years. Where do folk tend to camp? Algonquin?

Hi
Just posted on the Claytor section, posing a lot of questions. I have not used a hammock, other than sleeping in my backyard, having done a lot of tenting over my years. I turned to looking at...

Hello All
First post, but I have been lurking and searching for a bit. I am looking for a hammock for bicycle touring, and stealth camping--as I will be in remote areas, camping on crown land (no...
