Welcome to the forums from a fellow Wisconsinite.

In rainy/wet weather I hang my tarp under the ridge line so that there is one less place for water to run in. In really strong wind I hang it over the RL to provide more support for the tarp.

Sounds good to me man. It's things like that the define the quality of the life you live. Forget the numbers like salary, and worth of estate. Everytime I find myself off the beaten path swining in a...

Welcome to the forums, and thank you for your service.

Mine ships today! I can't fricken wait, it only took a little over a week for mine.

As far as the straight edge sinking heat away from the iron I would try the thinnest steel straight edge you can find. Aluminum is a fantastic conducter/disperser of heat that's why they use it for...

Thanks for sharing this wonderful adventure!

Welcome aboard from Wisconsin! Check out the vids on this site, it's a treasure trove of info!

Welcome aboard from the frozen north, Wisconsin, home of beer and cheese!

From what I'm seeing, it's a matter of layering just like your daytime clothing. You can extend your top quilt rating with cothing, but I wouldn't stint on the under quilt as what ever you are...

Congrats, and frankly you deserve it. You are an inspiration to many. Enjoy the trip and snap a few shots along the way. Whoooooooobuddy!

Great video! I've got to ask at 5:45 is that a hammock toilet? Where the heck can I get me one of those!? Sounds like the lap of luxury to me.

Welcome from Wisconsin. Kick back and enjoy the breeze!

I just bought a cuben tarp from Adam at Hammockgear.com. From order date to delivery it took about 5 weeks, but the workmanship, and quality of the material seem to be absolutely top notch. At the...

I've got to say that 70 degrees at night up here in Wisconsin isn't such a bad thing. I'm thinking we don't have the humidity at night like many of you southern folk. We also rarely hold at 70 or...

Thanks for the tip, I checked the directions and it didn't say anything about it, but I'll check out thier web site.

That's an interesting idea, and it gives me even more reason to be lazy when camping....I think I'll go with it. :D
After lunch I made a couple of trips back and fourth to my truck because some...

Sorry about the mess on your boots, maybe try seltzer water and baking soda on that. lol Yeah I love the cuben-y goodness of that tarp and the geometry is great too. It's a little loud in the wind...

It would have to be something that only Mountain House uses, because I've never had a food allergy before. I'll have to check the lable. Thanks.

Yep I got the little bugger out of there. lol

Nope I bought it new this past spring. I probably did get my dirty mits on the mouth of my water bottle while clipping the hose on....gonna have to pack some hand sanitizer next time. Thanks for the...

Thanks folks!

I just picked up a shiny new summer burrow top quilt from HG, and I was wondering. I know that the instructions say not to store it compressed for long periods of time, but even in the stuff sack it...

The only food I ate on the trip were Mountain house meals. One at around noon, and one at about 7pm. I don't think that is the problem as you add boiling water to them, and they should be sterile in...

Well I think I've found my personal nirvana. I took my new rig out to a hike in only campground near me, and had the entire lake to myself. Here's some pics of my new...

I understand the whole ultra light thing, but that's taking it a bit far IMO!

Got mine in three days! Can't wait to use them. Great job Stu!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

Hello fellow hammock hangers! I'm John from WI, I've been hangin' for about 2 years, and I'm just starting to refine my gear for some serious trips. I'm a huge fan of Shug Emery's youtube channel,...
