Scratchy, snaggy, pointy zip tie? I like (and am going to try) this method.
Plus, knots!

6' and 215, but I'd mirror everything else you said.
Man here: Orange camo makes me swoon!
Tinny needs to reel it in. It's as if his filter is completely removed. He picks a lot of fights and can come across as very disrespectful of others.
I know; I know, how refreshing to speak ones...
I hope I don't sound sarcastic here; get on your bike and ride 2 minutes away from the camp area. It's true that most areas are picked clean, but on a bike, we are talking a very short pedal. It's...
That I might pass one day with this man's grace would be incredible.
Peace
Have not posted here a lot, but have frequented many forums. If I were a Mod, I'd close this sucker down right-quick (based off what I saw earlier and lack of validity towards his claims). Kinda...
Fantastic!
All I can think about are those dreaded electric socks I had as a kid. Dang, I hated those!
Perfect! Absolutely perfect!
Loves the hammock, but from the photo, appears to have pitched a tent....:lol:
Using it now and loving it!
I'm going to be watching this thread closely! Please post results.

What part of "opinion" do people struggle with?
Although only 44, I readily identify with the "old curmudgeons" of the world. Our tone may not always please; our approach not always the most...
Great tarp for the money. Will require sewing in 2 loops for a conventional pitch however. I love mine. Just bought a second.

I'm pretty sure that most state parks experiences with hammocks initially involved eye-bolts.....
rule makers re-act rather than act.
Take a tip from the Geocaching community in Minnesota.
Until not long ago, Geocaching was illegal in Minnesota state parks. Through consolidation of voice and common sense, they got thier point...
Are the mods here familiar with the reader apps offered by the app store? Essentially, it re-configures the forum in a format which is easy to read on the small screens.
This is what I purchased:...
A Starlyte stove from Zelph over at BPLite.com. It's fantastic. My pot is a modified k-mart grease pot.
I find any cheapo led headlamp is great. Even bad ones seem to last forever.
You live in Yonkers. Go to a fabric store and look in the vestibule or ask a cashier. I bet someone has a "Sewing for hire" sign up, or the employees know somebody within 5 minutes of you...
Had I set the suspension a wee bit lower, I suspect he'd have woken up. Amazingly, he could still sway. 1/2 inch clearance from the ground at MOST!
And yet, over he went. This is my 10 year old; joining me on a cool, 30 degree October weekend off of the Munger trail.
Before:...
A 20 degree square footbox sleeping bag and a blue "Wally-Pad" got me to 30 degrees last night. No problems.
I've contemplated turkey....
That looks like a lot of sag to me... Got a pillow under or between your knees?
Real close, real easy? Lake Maria in Monticello. All hike in sites, none of them difficult, none of them terribly exciting, but still pretty and still in the woods.
....said the man who has CLEARLY never owned a Parrot Bay hammock ;)
I own 3. Got 3 delivered to my door for 40 bucks. They have all been one-use hammocks before they needed repair. Such delicate fabric, and really poor construction. They DID get me into the hobby...
Nacrabiners. Slower by the narrowest of margins, and I don't really care about speed when hanging the hammock. I want to get the tarp up quickly, but I'm ok after that.
I'm still caching every now and again. I was one of the earlier to hide and seek here in Mn. Lovely Centris, Queen of the Travel Bugs made this for me:...
Complete opposite. In fact, on nights where you'd be hot in a tent, you may actually be chilled in a hammock. Air moving around from below convects heat away from your body. Indeed, one of the...
Anyone familiar with this manufacturer of rope products? After poking around on the website, I'm more confused than ever, but can't help but think they might have something good for suspensions or...
I'd go for a handful within a reasonable price range.
Why these forums are great! Gotta say, Mustardman makes a tremendous point with the potential tree-damage, and I'll add that other methods could use as much as 50% less cord. I don't have enough...
Hey Hoop. Robbinsdale here.
Chase over :lol:
As a small business owner, if I put out a conduit through which I choose to be communicated with;
That's it! That's how I chose to be communicated with. Somewhere this guy is in school, sleeping,...
If you came to Minnesota, and got together with Shug......
I can only imagine the draw this would have. I use a 20 dollar tarp and 25 dollar hammock, and I'd go to this "hang".
Minnesota. Not a chance. Headnet would protect the head, but if your arms are out of the bag, exposed shoulders, whatever, you'd be doomed. Doomed!
You eventually warmed up your bag?
Mostly a lurker, but a daily one.
Robbinsdale in the house....

I hate when I catch my Yeti in my zipper....:lol:
c'mon. One hour and 6 posters to get to that one?:confused:

Your first howler monkey is gonna scare the crap out of you, and beware the thieving little koatamundi (sp?). Stole my camera last time.
Although mosquitos there are not truly epic, I'd still reconsider that lemon eucalyptus and go get some real bug spray.
The perceived (and not once proven) fear of the side effects from DEET is...
You WOULD find them at a good sporting goods store. They would be used to attach replacement hooks on fishing lures.
Interesting idea.
This has me asking the question; has anyone ever cut a CCF pad to fit the entirety of the pocket on a double layer BB? Any downside besides additional weight? Bunching?
Wait-wait-wait one minute. Not to thread-jack, but how on earth is using a dog for hunting bad? My dogs hunt on their own, I just follow them with a gun!
