i voted solo - but i go solo and with others, just depends on whether I want company or not

i got my dad an SBpro and he got an 8x10 thinking it would work.

we did a 'dry run' with it before using it for real and didnt like it at all. he opted for the JRB 11x10 and is much happier. ...

it was fate

a week long trip on the New River in WV, 6 of us.

5 of us in rafts with tents, fighting the sand and trying to find suitable areas.
Number six was in a kayak and had a hammock....

the listed load limit is 150 lbs
no way I'd hang a hammock with it

I use them, and the regular figure 9s for my tarp and other misc non hammock related stuff

if it were me, I'd scrap the pad.

I havne't experienced cold enough weather from april to october in our part of the world to warrant any extra insulation beyond a sleeping bag.

I do plan on...

i have the guardian. weight isn't of a major concern to me as most of my camping is during float trip along the river or involves short hikes. it works well, is easy to use and set up.

I have...

i ordered a HB on sale and they just sent me a net - I called them up and they said to mail it back at their expense and they'll send me the right thing - but I mentioned that the website now had it...

thanks slowhike - the wheels are turning

so lemme get this straight. you guys have them in the house hanging from you basic stud walls?

I've thought about this, but been a little leary of it but would love to be able to arrange...

the worst part about lightening for me is that it means I need the tarp over top and don't get a good look at it.

otherwise, i agree with canoebie

great pictures man, sounds like a good time. I haven't ridden in several years now

i live about 10 miles south of front royal. I don't do any hiking, so can't help with that aspect of it, but if you need shuttle or taxi or resupply I can probably help. just shoot me an email or...

all of my lines are 6' - I use a loop of shock cord on the end which adds a little bit of length except on the ridgeline.

but like someone mentioned above - I always have extra cord, rope, etc...

Ken - we were up on the St. Croix River

I have the cabelas double. From what i can tell its the same as the travel hammock with cabelas stitched on the attached bag. it has S hooks on either end and comes with two sections of some sort...

I agree - I've not been around very long, but I've picked up a lot of stuff from this site that helped me have a successful week of hanging last week, even If i never made it in the hammock the first...

makes sense, i guess if i had to sleep on the ground all the time, I'd be cranky too

gah, and i just paid full price! not that thats a bad deal

I have an ENO dry fly which i guess would be a hexagonal cat cut tarp?

at first, I wasn't sure it was going to work, so I set it up when i knew i was gonna get a storm in the yard to test it out. ...

the bunkbed style idea is pretty good. with a cross member, you could still utilize the three point idea.

with the pipe stand, you could certainly substitute in some wood, but its going to cut...

thank mike,

checked it out this afternoon for a couple hours and it worked great. easy to undo and easy to put together.

like the avatar too, I used to have a ferret that spent more time in...

Plan on testing it soon, but wanted to get some opinions from you guys as well.
My travel hammock has hooks at either end to attach to the supports.

i picked up some 1" webbing and I'm trying...

narwhalin, thanks for sharing that link. I may have to look into this one myself a bit.

Bending a solid peice of wood like that would not be fun and I doubt that I would go that way.
...

however, its nice to know the knots in case you lose your webbing or biner or other peice of equipment.

hey 1srelluc, sounds like some good thinking to me

also looks like your close by, lemme know if you wanna get together for some fishing or go over some hammock stuff, etc

I do a river trip each year, usually for about a week. last year the most experienced of us, met us half way with his kayak and all his gear in the hatches. hammock included. it was 100 degree...

I was looking at the Amsteel site, and had a question.
