here's a few pictures. My 5 year old helping to give perspective. Btw, I exaggerated about a 2 year old setting it up in 1 minute. It took my 5 year old 2 minutes with only helping lift her up to put...
Holy sweet baby Jesus!
Got them. It took alongggg time to set one up. About 25 seconds. :shades: Layed down and was ready to fall asleep. Seriously, a blind two year old with one arm and a twitch...
DELIVERED! Im done with work in 10 minutes...ill speed home, running over any slow elderly people or fat children that get in my way and be ripping the boxes open in less than 1/2 an hour.
After...
I'll keep an eye out for the items Monday and hopefully wed for the net. Will be nice to have the week to get them set up and sorted out.
Thanks again miyanc!
Thanks for the update. I will keep an eye on the mail. If you PM me a tracking number i will go on and give them delivery directions so if im not home they have a place to drop it.
Daverr, too bad your going in on the other side...We could have met up. I lived in Austin for a while as a kid and moved my mom back down their a few years agofor retirement. (actually lived in...
Hi Miyanc and others, i have come up with a few questions, while watching videos, reading MANY articles/threads/post and thinking about how this will all work for this trip. I suppose this really...
Just checking in to see if there are any updates.
Do you guys think i will need to use some sort of water sealant on the Tarps? We got the woot deal Rain tarps and they seem good, but i dont want to get to the BWCA and find out i have 7 days of...
I suppose that could be the answer too... But you cant always believe what you find on the internet, so keep an open mind and use your own judgement on who you trust...
:shades:
(Thanks for...
Thats perfect. thanks for the time to write this up for me and im sure others looking. I will print this out, when the hammocks arrive, and then pull up shugs video and go step by step, while in the...
I'm new here...but i got this one fellas...
I believe the Pizza method is only used when you get off work late, the kids are all screaming that they are hungry (because you apparently have not...
I recieved mine this wek-end, i just wanted to say thank you and hope the other person that i paid for shipping for enjoyed theirs as well. My Custom hammocks from Miyanc should be here in a few...
Your killing me here smalls! LOL I like it.
I spent some time after the last post looking at the items you listed. When you get time...no rush... could you let me know what items are "load...
I will have to look up what those things all are :) And will hit up the Dutch site. Are any of them something I will have to get before I can hang?
Also will the bug net with bottom entry be...
Going into Seagull (54) paddling across to Alpine and base camping there. We have done Alpine for 20+ years and have yet to have a trip not have a 30+" Walleye. Largest is 32 1/2". Typically go...
This weekend we got tons of stuff done for the trip. Got all the clothes and the tarps, rain flies, etc permethrined...Got 4 of the packs packed. All that is left is basically the food packs, getting...
Sounds good!
many of the consentrated formulas have petrolium distolates. They smell, but will not have ill effect on your gear. You will want to air dry the soaked items for a couple days, then they will be...
Im not worried about falling..its the landing that concerns me :)
Ah, got yah, thanks for the info...I swear, im learning...really... lets just hope the boss doesnt know..lol

Just saw today's posts. Wow. All of you...wow.
FYI I have a few tricks up my sleeve also so when this all shakes out I will need to see what came from where and who we are indebted to.
My...
Northern MN? Hm... How does 1 million miles of wilderness and national forest sound? Can be as close or remote as you want to make it.
Boundry Waters Canoe Area. its as north as your going to get...
Sounds good, can't wait! Let's go Larry, I'm feanding for my hammock fix!
We soak it until it's...soaked. We have left it soak and no longer do. We dip it, squeeze it around to really get it all over, ring it out and then hang on a line. It's dry to the touch in..10-20...
I'll be sure to do a video of the set up etc. a noobs learning curve sorta thing.
Found a couple low cost 20 degree sleeping bags. Will be ready to cut and DIY them into under quilts when we get the hammocks. Tarps are here and look like they will be fine.
As my cousin's...
Just looked, my 2 are being dropped off today.
We built an "ice House" 4 season travel/camper trailer. 20 foot x 8 foot. The walls are all 2x2's the ceiling is 2x6 (on 18 inch center) the outside of the wall is 1/4 plywood and covered in flat...
how did you find out when they will be delivered?
Flo Hanger, (catchy hu?)
Thanks for the info.
THE miyac,
Sounds awesome, love the updates, very excited. I have to admit...I only spent 2 hours yesterday looking at videos and maybe 2...
Not to be contrary, as this is a great discussion and should be talked about. It is a chemical, and better to be safe than sorry makes sense...BUT...
It doesn’t have to be magic or "know" the...
Depending on weight concerns, it looks like the cheapest way to go is a sleeping bag under the hammock. Either a full bag bungied to the set up, or if you sew you can make one from a sleeping bag....
And that's all there needs to be said about that. Well stated. When I saw the woot deal I didn't think for a second that I should have waited. I'm learning more this way, it's made how we want it and...
We just have the kids drink it, then we don't have to worry about them getting a skin reaction and to date not one of them have complained about ill effects....or anything else for that matter. It...
Love the updates, makes me look forward to it more and more! Purchased two hammock traps today to complete set up. Is there anything else I should be thinking about getting? I think we will do the...
How did you miss out, its still on the site for sale, i just checked it again. double hammocks are the only items gone. Infact the raised the limit to 6 per purchase now.
KH, go ahead and do the 12, if you dont get shipping covered for the final 3, i will pay for those also. You can thank MIYANC, as he started the good will with me when i joined, so im just passing it...
The petrolium distilates... Basically its diesel fuel. ANd like diesel fuel you are not supposed to get it on your skin, drink it, spray in air and breath it, put in your eyes, etc... Diesel fuel is...
There are some specs on the woot site. Or you can go to yukon's website. basically the same thing. There are some reviews here also.. Do a search in "advanced search" for yukon in the TITLE of the...
