I've been looking for a ti snow peak bundle for a while, but you caught me right after Christmas shopping. Ugh! Hate missing this stuff! I'm sure someone will snag it up quick
I have two weeks of consecutive vaction from October 28-November 12 and I want to do some hiking in the Northeast. I have some friends in Baltimore, and some in Jersey so I can use either of those...
Awesome idea, thanks, I'm in!
The only real problem I see with switching from a bed to a hammock is, what if you want someone to stay the night with you? In my experience two people even in a double layer is only comfortable for...
Double posted this thread on accident, if Mods could please delete one.
I'm looking for some Snowpeak Titanium mugs to add to my collection. I don't plan on taking or using all of them at once, but I like to have a nice selection for different occasions and I figured if...

I'm not sure of a hammock that would give you a truly comfortable lay with two people over night. I have however seen this discussed a few times.
If she is comfortable in her own hammock as long...
I seriously love the idea of custom webbing. Theres something special about having a piece of gear that you know noone else in the world has as well. Ultimate goal is to have custom everything.... I...
Im in, Big Moose for the win?!
Count me in! Thanks!
This past weekend I went down to Zaleski to do a little hiking, to get outside, and most importantly to spend my first overnighter in a hammock. I have backpacked before but only tent camped so I...
I would love to meet up with you/ the group but since I work Friday untill 6, I will only have a short bit of sunlight to work with, I prefer not to hike in the dark whenever possible.
Ive only...
Ok so I'm definitely getting out to Zaleski this weekend- I'll run down my plan and if anyone would like to join just let me know or feel free to stop by!
Friday I work till 6pm, I'll have...
Im on board for Zaleski to meet up with some fellow hangers. I'm still working on perfecting suspension and my hang and I would love to get some fellow hammockers advice! I can meet up friday or...

Well Oldgringo this is the feedback and suggestions portion of the forum, I was just giving my feedback and my suggestion. I am not implying the site doesnt function at a top notch level, I am simply...
My point wasnt about helping out the SELLER, it was about helping out the BUYER or potential buyers. There is no way to tell who is going to stumble onto a for sale thread and therefore the only way...
Bahahahahaha:lol::lol::D:D
To each of your points- It is not rude to inform people where they can buy items for a reasonable price, however selling something for more than it is worth I agree, very rude.
An item is worth...
I have read in the for sale section under the rules that it is generally frowned upon to post in someones for sale thread where you can buy or get the item cheaper. I guess my question is why? This...
I will take it!
Nice looking hammock right there! I'm sure someone will enjoy
Im in thanks buddy!
Its looking like I might just start with the RockJock trail, I was reading that it has some of the nicest views, but is relatively short at under 3 miles. Is the only way to hike the Rock Jock Trail...
The 22 mile loop I was looking at doing was the one from backpacker magazine, but your saying I'm not allowed to camp 3 consecutive nights? Not really sure how I'm going to tackle this. I'll head...
I am planning on hiking the 22 mile loop of Linville Gorge in March. March 11,12,13 to be exact. I'm from Ohio and there are not a ton of places with nice views, so I wanted to go someplace that...
From a thread that was just started about sleeping two in a hammock
I have a grand trunk double that I have spent a few hours in with a lady friend, definitely not the most comfortable lay in the world. It was nice to snuggle up for a while, but only a short while,...
Im in! Thanks so much!
Payment has been sent for the Jacks R Better Sniveller!
I will take the Jacks R Better Sniveller Quilt, PM sent
Yea thats pretty much what I thought. I was just looking for the cheapest 20 degree bag/quilt that also compresses as small as possible. Might just have to bite the bullet and shell out the money.
I'm looking for a 20* or below rated TQ or sleeping bag that compresses relatively small. I'm currently using a Koppen Viggo 20* synthetic bag that weighs in at 5.1 pounds and is about the size of...
I will take the Sawtooth sleeping bag, Pm sent
Looking to buy a 20 degree or lower rated down top quilt or maybe sleeping bag. Looking for something that compresses down relatively well. 5'10 here
It actually wasnt very windy at all, not even enough that I noticed it. It was snowing very very lightly..... or come to think of it it could have just been snow falling from the pines up above me. I...
So I couldn't wait anymore, I decided that I needed to get out in my new WBBB and try it out, see how it felt and if I liked it or not. First I suppose I should say, I LOVED it. This was a bit...
I'm all about planning the next purchase. I figure If I always make a purchase while I'm waiting for a purchase I'll eventually have an endless stream of items coming my way.......as well as an empty...
Well it sounds like I've been making some excuses for myself, its time to get out there and see how I like the hang! Thanks everyone for your input, this forum rocks! I'll have plenty more questions...
I need to purchase an UQ ASAP so I can get out in my WBBB and get to hanging. The question I have of course is which type of UQ to get?! I'm not so much worried about where to buy the UQ so much as...
So I got a new WBBB for Christmas, however I live in Ohio and its been pretty cold out ever since. I got a free Saturday to take my setup to some local woods and get it all hung up, layed in it for...
I was just wondering if there was a place where there are pictures of different hammocks/tarps in their stuffsacs next to something used to reference size. I just thought it would be really cool if...
Dutch, I really appreciate that, and would love it if I could exchange. You have been nothing but helpful with your prompt email and your response here. Just let me know how to ship back to you/ what...
Thanks for your responses, Im gonna do some reading and some watching and figure it all out, I appreciate all your help!
I'm brand new to hammock camping, tarps, hammocks, ridgelines and suspension are all pretty foreign to me. I now have in my posession a WBBB, a GT ultralight, an Old Man Winter tarp which was...
