Price drop-- will take $160 shipped.
Excellent condition.
I bought this underquilt new in 2013 and it was only used twice before I left Montana. Now I live in warmer climates where I only need my 3-season Yeti. It was always stored...
Sold to Hanginw/sasquatch.
Torso-sized sleeping pad.
I’ve only used this a few nights when I was long-distance hiking with my hammock but couldn't find trees so had to go to ground.
Packs very small and only about 6-7...
It sounds like you’ve already decided on this, but just for the record since no one has addressed the tree options issue:
Yes, it is a BIG issue if you are backpacking in some areas. Maybe not on...
Sold to Utmushroom.
The tarp is the OES MacCat Deluxe SpinnUL tarp.
It is the “deluxe” size (130” x 104”). Here is more info on the size and cut of the tarp: ...
Thanks, Dublinlin. Payment recieved.

Yes, here are some photos of the hammock. Had some wind while trying to take them, so if you want a closeup of anything, let me know and I can see what I can do this morning.

Chop’s trail name is Beardoh, and has journals in several places.
If I recall correctly, for his 2012 PCT hike, Beardoh started out on the ground and then went back to his hammock at mile 1300 or...
Yes, it is possible to hammock the PCT. I wrote about my experiences using my hammock in SoCal and the Sierra here and here.
And I had no trouble hanging in Washington last month either.
Let me...
That's impressive that you could reduce your pack weight so much and enjoyed the hike more for it!
I am looking into hiking the Ozark Highlands Trail. How were trail conditions? Any suggestions...
Thanks so much Kroma. Yes its great hanging up here in Oregon and Washington. So much easier than southern California.

Wow it's that old- remarkable! So many trips.
Now I'm sort of embarrassed that I never actually washed it.

Thanks so much to Randy and Deanna for sending a new hammock to me so quickly when I had a problem with my old one while out on a two month backpacking trip on the Pacific Crest Trail.
I was...
Welcome to the forum and to Montana! Montana Conservation Corps does incredible work--it'll be an awesome experience! I am doing a second Americorps term this summer with Montana State Parks-...
Have you tried emailing Hammock Gear again? Sometimes it takes a few tries to get hold of them. But they offer good advice about how to choose sizes, so you could find out what they recommend for a...
Are you a side sleeper or do you sleep on your back?
What other insulation do you sleep in? Down booties, down hat, down pants? Are you a warm sleeper? It gets very cold in the Sierra (10-20...
Just discovered this thread-- love hearing the voices of all theses hammocking women out there!
Re. changing-- When I'm camping around guys I don't know well, I change when I go off to the bushes...
Thanks kwpapke! And a hot springs too-- that's definitely going on the list!
Perfect! Thanks!
Kwpapke- I feel the same way about Pietown- want to go there after reading about it. The Gila isn't too far- any suggested hikes that might be accessible in early spring?
Thanks so much! I'll check out these places--it seems like an interesting area.
I'm going to be moving to the area near Grants/ Gallup, New Mexico for a few months. Any recommendations for hikes or backpacking trips in western NM? Anyone hung the CDT in NM?
I just spent a few backpacking in Big Bend National Park and Guadalupe Mountains National Park--nice spots!
Finished listening to the first few episodes-- way to go! So happy to find a podcast about hammocks-- makes great listening for these long 12+ hour winter nights while out backpacking. I enjoyed...
On the PCT, I simplified my setup, and saved lots of time- it payed off to have a system that I could pack and unpack in just a few minutes with the least number of steps. I used a trash compactor...
In addition to the southern AT, other trails in the southeast for very early spring include the Bartram Trail, Pinhoti Trail, and Benton Mackaye Trail- all would likely have good water (which is good...
Great hearing about your PCT trip, and gorgeous photos.
I went to Hole in the Wall last week, and three out of the five or so designated campsites were suitable for hanging, especially if you need just one hang site. Trees were bigger than I'd expected. ...
That must be something to see all those in bloom! Will have to plan a longer time in the area "next time." :)
That name sounds familiar, but I'm not exactly sure. Saw about two northbounders a day. Did he have a blog?
Hi there great to hear from you! Tuscon seems like such a great place to live, being so close to these incredible mountains!
Honestly, I was shocked I found places to hang on this part too. ...
WOW thank you so much this is great! Will have to read more on the area-- so many options. Really appreciate it!
Thanks so much for the great information! Too bad I won't be able to join you for the hang. That area looks gorgeous! Looks like the Centennial Trail goes right out of Sheridan Lake--how is that...
Thanks, gunner76! Lots of beautiful scenery.
Thanks! Yes, I was so happy my foot problems didn’t interfere with my hike.
The creative hangs get addicting. :) Fun to be able to hang...
I am going to be driving out to Montana soon, and am looking for places in South Dakota along I-90 to hammock camp and hike (or do a short <10 mile backpacking trip). This will be my first time in...
Thanks pgibson! I didn't expect to be able to hang the whole time at all.
Thanks so much TallPaul! Yes, I was so relieved about the foot. :)
Just finished a 300 mile section hike of the Arizona Trail in my hammock. WOW it was a beautiful trail, the wildflowers were stunning, and I had a blast!
Hiked southbound from Superior to Mexico...
Bummer I'm flying to Utah that weekend, but hope to make the next one.
Would someone be willing to figure out a date for this, since we have now determined there is plenty of interest?
I hope you all have it a weekend I am in town!
If I'm back in GA by then, I'd like to join you all.
Sure hope you enjoy your new Darien UL, Mark! Neat that you got the modification- will be interested to hear how that works.
Since Mark just provided a link to his journal for the PCT, I will add...
Great to see you and 2ply! Always like to hang out with you all and hear your stories so will have to do another hang soon. Sorry not to stay up there longer, but we did stay warm camped down near...
Hey old4hats, 2ply, and Maddog (and who ever else is going),
Know I’m late but plans have been up in the air. Good news though- a couple friends and I are heading towards Springer for New Years....
Ah good to know what you’ll be taking, given your experience on the JMT.
Oh wow, thanks, Fronkey! That’s very generous of you! Looks like from your recent video that you've been running into...
