Schwiiiiiiiiiing!!!!!! My interest is peaked! But that means I will want a SuperFly to match.

Schwiiiiiiiiiing!!!!!! My interest is peaked! But that means I will want a SuperFly to match.
I am 6' @ 250. I hang in a Grand Trunk Skeeter Beater Pro. With 7/64 Amsteel whoopies/Toggle and Treestraps. I tend to set my hammock a little higher than most. About 26 inches and I have no problems.
I have this bag and it functions just fine as a top quilt for me. I have had it down to 36* with no issues. The hood can get in the way some but that is a minor issue. It packs down well in the...
Geargrams so simple this caveman can do it.
They got 'em at Wally World too. Bought them for my sons set up.
Welcome to life above ground.
Woke up in mine. Took the gf for her first overnight camp @ San Simeon, Ca. 2 Hammocks 1 tarp. Good times!
Welcome from Cen*Cal. I ended up here via Shug also.
You could also order the 7/64 Amsteel and make the woo pie yourself. It's so easy a caveman could do it.
You could always go the cheap route with a PLUQ. Easy DIY project to do. Basically buy a $30 Army Poncho liner fold and rig some suspension. The directions are here->...
Congrats! I love mine!
Welcome to the forum.
I have this set up and have had it into the upper 30's with a CCF pad slipped in the middle w/20* down bag as a top quilt. I was in light thermals and a beanie. Very toasty. Probably the best DIY...
How about these? I just started a new thread to see if anyone has used them.

Just wondering if anyone has tried the new MSR Cyclones/ What are your thoughts? Saw them at REI the other day.

Sasquatch aka Skunk Ape!
I use .025 welding wire from my mig welder. Works great!
A couple of years ago I was scouting some ground for an upcoming season. It had been a few years since I had been in the rugged remote area. And I was about 30lbs heavier. Needless to say I miss...
Bear meat is a little greasy to me. Had some pretty good bear breakfast sausage this morning. Guy brought some into the local place I get breakfast at sometimes and the cook fried it up.
Opr8or. I couldn't agree more! Have Gun Will Hammock. I hang in Cougar and Bear Country.
I don't have much money tied up in my Hammock. I have a GT Skeeter Beater pro. All I have done is mod the suspension. Tree Straps with whoopies via toggle. And I am still under $100. But I went mid...
I keep a space blanket and a cheap poncho in my kit. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Popeye, thats good info to know just incase I ever need some when I am down home!
I second Redden Marine.
Happy birthday!! And enjoy that Grand Trunk. I have 3, 2 Skeeter Beater pro's and 1 UL. All converted to whoopies with removable SRL. I love them.
It should be 100% out of the box. But that is not the case sometimes. When I purchase an item at a store I check it for defects. Especially when they are manufacturing them by the thousands mistakes...
So are you saying you did not inspect this hammock upon receipt? You just loaded it up and went camping and set it up for the first time and it was then that you discovered the flaws? Not trying to...
Looks good. I swapped out the suspension on my SBP for woopies/toggles and tree straps. Also I have a removable ridge line that goes through the bug net. This works great for me because if I don't...
I am at the PLUQ stage. I started with pads and found it frustrating. Always seemed to have a cold spot somewhere and they bunch up. I still carry a pad when the situation dictates. Just incase I...
I love my super fly. It is a very versatile tarp. I thought long before I made my purchase. I don't mind the extra weight because I like having options.
I have this bag and it's awesome as a TQ. I have had it down to just above freezing in conduction with a PLUQ. An inexpensive way to get into a down bag. 2.8 lbs and packs great.
Seems there haven't been to many hammocks out there.
I have found tons of info on hiking the Lost Coast Trail. But very little in regards to hammocks and hanging. I guess there's a few spots but nothing in abundance. I really want to do this trip but I...
Looking for any info pertaining to places to hang along the Lost Coast Trail.
Welcome From Cen* Cal. Where are you?
Welcome from Cen*Cal via Liberty Tx.
Welcome! Give the SBP a chance. I have had mine for a few months and I keep tweaking it. I just made an UQ out of a poncho liner and it worked great down to the low 40's.
Maybe you could just tie out to some trees nearby or use some found tree limbs. That way you do not increase weight. I am not to familiar with the terrain you frequent. But to save weight try using...
I just got back from district Camporee and 2 awesome nights in my Skeeter Beater W/Super Fly. First night was down pour and 15+mph gust of wind. I rigged the super fly in half porch mode and rode it...
Welcome from another Scouter! It's a great time and even better in a hammock. ? Is your Jeep Camo? I have a 74 cj5 thats wrapped in Realtree.
Great pic's. Looks like you had a blast.

Here you go.
Bag size could be a problem. Sleeping bags keep you warm by trapping and holding a layer of "dead" (non-circulating) air next to your body. Your body heat warms this dead air, and the bag forms a...
A Big Howdy to ya.
I have found them @ REI, Autozone and Lowes. They are perfect on the super fly doors. I did 2 outings with them on the ridge line and they were fine. But I rigged the tarp for some tweaking the other...
Hike in/Drive in I'm game for both. I need to explore some new ground. I really need to hike the coast more to work off all the food and spirits I consume when I am there.
FYI I broke 2 yesterday. Switching back to the small s-biner for the TRL.
I would like to see some pics of these mods. Currently have my net clipped to prussics on my TRL.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a Hotter than H3LL hang and we could do it with the central coast crew on the coast.
Works just fine, that's what I do.
