Does the problem of one person being one hammock and the other being empty cause an issue. I can see the occupied hammock swinging to the ground as soon as weight is added.

I have no words for how incredible this is. If I wasn't a DIYer myself, I'd want to buy one lol.
If your interested, I live in blount county and Frozen Head is just 45 minutes or so from me and I'd love to meet some local hangers. I'd be interested in going if ya don't mind a young diyer...
Lol I would have to agree.
Looks like MrsPopper and I will be there. We can't wait!
I like it. I like the color scheme you chose too. I plan on making one of those one day. Awesome quilt friend.

This is exactly the next kit I was planning on ordering. One for me and one for MrsPopper. It looks like it makes a complete enclosure. In y'alls' experience, do these full enclosures work better or...
I don't discredit all the advice and thoughts given here. I think it might worth experimention. Therory is just theory until proven, right? I was just curious if test result existed before I invested...
I was just doing some laundry and pulled the drier lent from the screen as I always do and had a light bulb go off. Would this work as insulation? Its somewhat compressible, kinda fluffy, and...
If work works out ill plan on being there. Gotta upgrade to gear if im gonna go.
Thats a great idea florida. I really like that. I may have to use that as well. I have some ideas.
I'm sure this has been discussed in the past but....
Does anyone have a diy peapod pattern an specs. Like oz of down, materials used, difficulty of the project. This would be a from scratch design...
For the whipping on my hammock, i just used basic rope (from walmart but anywhere will have it). Florida hanger is right about the whipping. I was able to use the same rope i used for my whipping (it...
I second ripstopbytherolltheroll.com. They are good people over.
And again welcome to the addiction. I finacially cant do anything right now but i dont consider buying anymore. I think "how can i...
I want go southbound. I live in alcoa which is kinda near the north trailhead. And i have family outside Atlanta. Does anyone know the cost? Is it the same as the AT? $1.50 to $2.00 a mile?
Has anyone hammock camped the BMT? If so, I'd love to her about it. And any advice you may have. I would like to do it one day. I wanna do it as a mental prep for the AT, long distance wise. And i...
Im sitting in my ambulance waiting on morning to come i can head out to Santee. See yall tommorrow
True that Cali. Work is in the way of fretting there thursday for me as well. I'm also planning on being a friend with me. He is double checking his weekend schedule but sounded promising. Looking...
I like nap time. There have to be a 201 course. Lol
I too was worried by the title of this thread. I plan on them being my supplier. I need that warning for a bumper sticker.
Much appreciated. Sounds like thats my potluck.
So could i bring the ingredients and borrow someone's Dutch oven since i lack one?
I would love to have a Dutch oven. They look great. I was thinking mac'n'cheese. But i was trying to figure out how to get it there. Reheating sound like the best option. If i can even do it. Its...
If we want to do a potluck dish, what is the best way? Do we make it at home in a crock pot and bring that or do we make it at camp. I have near a six hour drive.
Neither have I. I would go up and preview the site before hand if several people wanna go. I bet if we caught it on a white weekend it would be beautiful.
Sounds like perfect weather.
No interest? I'll be there. Still dont know dates but im gonna go.
How cold will the nights be. I dont wanna bring my bigger quilt if i dont have too. Although may just for showing sake. Ahh why not I'll bring all my diy gear and have a little show and tell. For...
Im not gonna be able to make it. It's not economically possible to make it right now. I would love to come up there and meet you guys but i cant right now.
How many people are expected to be there this year?
Very interested if dates work out. Maybe MrsPopper will come too.
"there may only be a foot of snow if any".
Lol. I've never seen a foot of snow in my life.
Getting all the way up to MN would be my difficulty. My wife's car would be better on gas than my truck. East TN to MN, shoooo what a drive. I'd like to go an will try. When the dates firm up I'll be...
I know last year didnt pan out but im up for trying again. Im saying October or November due to my schedule at work may be changing but as soon as i have a set date it will be on here. I'm thinking...
On last years trip that didn't pan out. I was disappointed as well. I hope to try again in October or November. Im gonna start a thread and give it a shot again.
Got permission from MrsPopper. She may even attend. What are the weather conditions like.
I'm looking forward to putting all the knowledge I've gathered and few experiences i have had over the...
Hopefully the boss lady (MrsPopper) will let attend. I'm actually off that weekend. It will be my first group hang.
Any interest in trying this hang again this year. Maybe late Oct or November. Would really like to meet some local and none local hangers. Any knowledge of the weather there would be great as well.
So we are looking how many days to hike those miles. I'd have to get a bunch if shifts covered and depending on dates, i could maybe do it. My wife may even let me go. We live in maryville. I'd be...
Great to hear of others in Maryville. The GSMNP is my stomping grounds as well. Hope to be doing a bunch of hiking and backpacking with my new wife this summer. Maybe we will cross paths.
I actually read somewhere that you can't hang a hammock on the shelter itself. I cant remember the source, possible when i searched hammock in the park and that was a rule i saw. But dont quote me on...
Im interested. When were you thinking about going?
So is the plan to hiking the merriwether trace? How many miles? Im interested anyway. Ill have to see my schedule though.
If the tarp you have for fall/winter/spring is taslite, which i have used for my hammocks, and if you haven't coated it, it isn't completely waterproof. It will get wet and heavy. Thats what my...
Thatd be cool got off trailing. I want to go up north, thatd be a lot of fun. I wanna go on a hang soon. I havent seen any near me. Not really close. Or least that I've noticed. Im trying to put a...
The way vapor barriers have been described, that seems logical, Owl, that they could trap water. I can see the pros and cons of it.
I would love love to learn how to navigate in the snow from a...
If theres any interest, Im willing get one planned.
So a vapor barrier keeps the sweat off youre socks or other equipment? I didnt know vapor barriers went on the skin.
What skills should i learn for snowy trail navigation? I can imagine trails...
Why would you use a vapor barrier? To keep heat in? Is the condensation just a downside?
I have another question. Navigating trails in the snow. I dont expect there to a path that other have been using. So is it guess work sometimes or is there another way?
