I hiked Mt Langley and passed those lakes. There are definitely good hanging spots in the lakes basin.
I have an Atmos 50L, and sent you a PM with details.
Mt Charleston North Loop is nice:

Nice one, keep the videos coming.
I would try driving a bit farther to Mt. Charleston, plenty of juniper & pines above desert altitude.
West rim Zion campsites are good for hammocking.
I very much appreciated the fine hammocks you produce and am spreading the word to my friends.
This was a two week trip to the eastern Sierras for relaxing, backpacking, and peak bagging. It was kind of a bust due to poor weather (monsoon) which meant more time for relaxing. I had a new 11...
Nice, I was down at Bishop Pass around the same time doing some peak bagging, it was a bit breezy above 10,000'. I used a small asym tarp that's a bit less noisy in windy conditions. Supermoon was...
Sold, thanks.

I recently started using my netted hammock and found that the pullouts help keep netting off the head & shoulders. However, it seems to push the sides of the under quilt down a few inches, probably...

I hiked 40 miles of the JMT years ago from Tuolumne Meadows to Mammoth Lakes. Last summer I hiked Mt Whitney. There are plenty of trees below 11,000 feet all through the sierras, so plan your trip...

There are plenty of tricks for keeping dry with an undersized tarp. Amazingly, the synthetic mummy bag kept off a lot of moisture. You also want to reduce diagonal lay so your feet don't stick out....
We had two days of moderate rain, and my gear was set up for the duration, an 11' lite owl hammock with foam pads under a hennessy napkin tarp. Usually the ends of the hammock get damp in rain but it...
The under quilt suspension is very annoying when it gets tangled around my feet (3/4 length) or rubs against my head. I switch to pads often for this reason. Also, it is easy to mistakenly set up...

I have a synmat 7 lw, same size as yours but slightly warmer. My lite owl is a foot longer than the blackbird. The pad is too long to fit well diagonally, the foot end slopes upward about 30 degrees....

The z-lite sol is very expensive for a piece of foam. Plus, it has ridges which aren't useful in the hammock - they are designed for comfort on the ground. Ridges make packing much more bulky. I...
