You came all the way to North Carolina and didn't even stop so I could take you out to BBQ? For shame Shug.

I got my polypro from a couple of thrift stores in my area that sell military surplus. The local MilSurp store had polypro sets for 20 dollars a piece, the thrift store sold bottoms for 5 dollars...

Yes, I know specialized products like top quilts and bottom quilts are well worth their money, but I prefer to exhaust my available options before I move on to something new.

So since I got my hammock I've been struggling to find a system that worked for colder weather. The easiest solution would have been to buy an certified top and bottom quilt, but I just couldn't...

I pulled out the digital calipers and my USGI CCF pad measure .375 inches thick. So 3/8ths on an inch, less than the 1/2 inch thickness that many people here seem to be using. This could be why I...

Have you found that more sag or less sag is better for side sleeping?

So last night I wanted to try my gear out since the temps have been dropping. I first started the night in just my pad, which is a USGI CCF pad. Over it I used the black intermediate bag from the...

I have been toying around with the ridgeline length for my Grand Trunk SBP. My hammock is 10.5 ft long, and I had the ridgeline set at 101 inches. While this gave me a pretty good lay for sleeping...

I know hammocking is a personal affair. We are all like snowflakes and have to find that "butter zone" hang to feel comfortable. I feel like I'm getting close, but still to this day after a couple...

Mine just came in today. I was looking for a lighter tarp to take with me when the weather wouldn't be such an issue. As long as my hammock will fit underneath it should fit the bill nicely and...

I'll be waiting.

I bought the MSS because it was like buying 3 bags in one. I never use the entire system, mostly I use the green patrol bag, unless I think itl be real cold then I just use the black intermediate...

I've been meaning to buy some webbing and use the marlin-spike hitch. Just haven't got around to it yet. The carabiners are the lightest ones at Lowes that would support my weight, for their size...

I bought the Atlas straps when I was just getting into hammocking and didn't know any better. Just haven't had a reason to replace them yet.

Thanks for all the advice hangers. Please see my latest thread for a continuation on this topic. ...

I really appreciate all the encouragement and advice in my last post. I realize now that tent camping and hammock camping are worlds apart, and yet one in the same. Weight savings are going to be...

The tag reads "Fill material, goose feathers, 9.9 lbs." It feels every bit of it too. Is there something I can make with this, ie ripping out the feathers and dewing them into an UQ?

So I really want to like hammock camping. I have as of now, a hammock-grand trunk skeeter beeter with integrated bugnet (love it, co complaints here., I use tree straps and whoopie slings for my...

I see a lot of very informative posts about cold weather camping. But with Spring fast approaching, and Summer soon after it, what gear do you shave off for hanging in the cool but nicer weather of...

Tried to fuse, set house on fire. Would not recommend.

Anyone have any suggestion for adding a ridgeline to a skeeter beeter? I just got it and the bug net is sown all the way around the edge and the suspension is on the outside of the bugnet. I hate...

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere in here. But is there a way to enclose a hammock and make it weatherproof without a tarp. Some sort of pullout cover that zips around the top. I have seen...
