I built both of those and a couple others. We take two DIY tensa stands with us to Lake Powell every time we go. They fit perfectly in the ski locker of the boat. I have absolutely fallen in love...

Has she already left California for Brazil for the holidays?
I called him, and he said he'd get back to me tomorrow.
I'm surprised you recognized that for what it was! It works great! It holds about 5 gallons and we only use a gallon a shower if we're careful.
Thanks, he really went above and beyond. I complained earlier this year that there wasn't a hammock stand that would fit my ridgerunner, so he took it upon himself to make this.
When we tried it...

Are there snaps and a draw string on the head end of the Costco quilts, similar to what an Enlightened Equipment quilt has?
Thanks for the tip. That worked
Just an FYI, I was unable to delete some PMs I had received. The system didn't recognise them.
I can't send a PM even though I've cleared out my Inbox. I'll work on it when I get to work.
I'll take the catch-all and the UQ.
I came across the pic on pinterest.

Talk about reviving an old thread.
Here's another manufacturer. It's the highest quality one I've found so far.

Thanks for showing me!
That is amazing! I would love to try them out. I love sleeping by my wife as I mentioned earlier, but this looks awesome too! This would be the perfect setup when...
I think I'm missing something. I can't seem to find the Dutchware Double Chameleon. Are you referring to the wide version of the Chameleon, or does Dutch have an actual double hammock? I only ask,...
BBanker, glad to hear your wife has beaten cancer!
My wife and I both have been sleeping in Ridgerunners and Superflys, but last week, I impulsively bought a double hammock at Wal-Mart. We had...

This is what we've done a couple times. No under quilt or quilt protector needed. We're on the porch, so no Superfly needed either!
This was in the winter, so the RR's...
This has been on my "To Build" list for a couple years now. The swings are to be replaced with gathered end hammocks, of course, and the fire pit will have to be a propane one so the sparks won't...
Now that's funny. You would fit right in with my family's humor.

Amok's website says it has an R value of 3, and a temp rating of 25 degrees.
Price drop to $260.
This is the blue version.
Catch and release here. It's pretty much brand new. I received the hammock today and tried the hammock out indoors for half an hour. The last owner bought it new and...
I'll take it.
Wow, hate to do this last minute, but my group won't be able to make it this weekend. I was really looking forward to meeting everybody and seeing their hammock setups, but I guess it wasn't meant...

The quilt, that is.
I'll take it.
I think I'll do chicken fajitas for lunch on Saturday. I'm not usually a fan of Spanish rice, but my wife made a killer batch of it a while back. I'll see if she can remember how she made it. ...
Good to know. My kids love sleeping in hammocks, but I'm still bringing the trailer just in case!
Wow, I wish we could get there in time for breakfast! Sourdough pancakes are hard to pass up!
I probably won't be there until 9:30 am at the earliest, with noon being more realistic. I wish we...
I don't think the food spreadsheet I can see is up to date, but I'd like to sign up for a meal, like Saturday lunch? I have a big griddle and a tractor disc we usually cook on when camping.
I just made a few phone calls, and my wife and I decided to bring a trailer (with spray foam insulation) that could contain any cranky kids.
Also, my brother and father in law want to come with us...
Oh, I have a wife as well, and she's usually pretty well behaved!
I have some reservations about coming as I have 4 kids(an 8, 6, 3, and 5 mo old) that may require us to set up a ways away from everybody else so that if one pipes off in the middle of the night,...
"we had massive amounts of tube steak to consume."
What kind of camp out is this?
It was excellent! I didn't have a single drop of condensation! However, this particular night wasn't all that cold. It was only about 40-45 degrees, and humidity was pretty low, even though we...
Havasupai. You can't get permits on your own this time of year, but could pay an outfitter if money isn't an issue.

Just slept in this setup last night (21 degrees). $25 for the Grand Trunk Nano 7 hammock, $20 for the Blizzard Survival Tube, and $20 for a Costco down quilt.
Just had a major success involving the blizzard tubes. My 4 year old just slept outside in one of these blizzard tubes from 9:30 pm to 7:45 am on a 21 degree night! I was in my Ridgrunner, and she...
You may get mixed responses to this, but my thoughts are if you are using down insulation, put in closest to the hammock. That way, if you have any condensation issues, your down won't get wet, and...
I continued my testing of the tubes last night. I used one tube from my feet to my neck, again cinched up as tight as possible. I then used my Patagonia down sweater as a mini underquilt under my...

I'll take it.
I do think there is a draft. I think even minimal insulation secured underneath (like an extra shirt) would cause the draft to be drawn in from by my face instead of underneath. I don't want to...
A second person observing from the outside to see just how it was hanging below would be optimal, but the best I could tell from inside the hammock was that there was only 1-2 inches of air gap below...
Ok, so I got my blizzard tubes in the mail a couple days ago and have done a bit of experimenting. These will obviously not fit over my Ridgerunner (haven't tried to Blackbird) so I tried it with my...

Funny, that's exactly how I explained it to my wife when I was telling her about this.
