I use the small ones to add quick tie off points on my back pack, holds my snowshoes great. I did use them originally on my CRL but found that the Lash-it was too small diameter for it. Nice product...

Baldface Circle Trail, I hiked it last March pretty challenging then, but I was really impressed with the views. There is alot of possibilities to extend the hike from there and I believe that you...

It is amazing how at night you can hear so many unusual sounds. Sometimes it will keep you up wishing you had more protection with you than a knife but it ends up being a large bird or something...

I don't use stuff sack anymore either, like you said all the nooks and crannies get filled. I think it worked with my square northface rucksack but when I down sized to a 34L I need the nooks and...

I use a trash bag.

+1, sew it.

Welcome, I love the Pacific Northwest.

I used my tie outs once then decided to forget about them. Doesn't seem to cause me any problems.

Thank you all for your responses, I started my planning late and have been busy getting last minute stuff done to my bike. I'm not taking my dual sport this time. Taking my 650 scooter. My trip is...

I'm just trying to collect any information that may help me on a motorcycle camping trip I have planned that will take me to Ricketts State Park and the Grand Canyon of Pa. Stuff like places to...

Yes I will......

I see we have a Frank Zappa fan.
Hey welcome, love Montana. ..my cousin lives there.

My experience with the tarp is under tree canopy or in the winter when sky's gave been overcast. I think the Camo is going to mute any direct sunlight.

I have no science to offer up but when I was in a position to decide I opted to get +2oz over stuff because the cost of the overstuffed was reasonable to me and I thought that getting it to loft up...

I thought I would post this montage of waterfalls I filmed during a Motorcycle Trip South a few years ago to introduce some of the members to the Pisgah and Dupont State Forest Waterfalls that are...

You sure are getting alot of uses from that thing. Wow, I have to start giving my gear multi uses.

If I understand correctly you would have to exceed approximately 59 inches of water column if we are talking H20. Water shouldn't be coming thru.

Your Tarps Ok.

You could test it by filling...

I like having the tree straps on some sort of device that allows the strap to be removed while still having the hammock suspension still attached.

I use a mine just to be able to move the...

Nice, makes me want to make some now. I made a bunch for the first time last spring and put them around my tent pegs as pulls. I like that color.

I think it boils down to personal preference. In my case I went from a 50L pack to a 34L and found that the compressed dry sack left too much unused space in the pack. I was attaching the dry sack...

I think I remember it being discussed in this video, something about it being a little better for high friction applications because it lacks the larger thread placed in ripstop that can lead to...

I used to use dry stuff sacks for my down but when I changed to a 34L pack I needed to just stuff it in to fill up my pack completely. I do use a heavy weight plastic trash bag inside the pack. I...

A little off the topic....
I found the quote in your profile signature to be quite nice after I translated it the best I could. I Google the poem and it is very nice.

I don't like Tapa Talk either. My android phone browser works great.

I've only had my HG Cuben Standard for just over a year. I took the advice of someone to make my "4" corner tie outs I made 6ft long, I used a Prusiks at the D rings and gave a buried loop on one end...

Welcome from New England.

When you purchase down products check that every cell has been filled with down.

If you ever buy a tent with a star gazing top, setting up in the rain will leave your tent wet on the inside.

Here's mine with...

I have a 0dF +2oz, HG under quilt and top quilt. Hung in snowstorm down to minus 15df comfortable, below that I got slight cold butt. I pretty much pull the shock cord tight as she goes to adjust. ...

I too can say that Shug's video's were my first steps into figuring out why my butt was so cold. Thanks and to all the othere's who have offered their help along the way. :cool:

Enjoyed the thread. Great job, good looking quilt.

And they call me "Safety Joe".

Cool, it is fun making them. Good job.

Way cool...though I know my butt wouldn't be hanging out there.

My wife just hand sewed up my small tear with black thread, couldn't even see the tear caused by hanging my glasses on the ridge line.

She can see better than me when it comes to threading...

Nice location, good luck with everything. :woot:

Cuben Fiber Tarps are alot of money...
The Camo Version that HG offers let's through less light i believe if light were an issue. After backpacking through the 70's with gear I thought to be light...

I used the plastic ones and liked them on my tarp Ridgeline but like others have said the correct size line is very important. I used them on 1.75mm lash-it and found the line was too small. Easy...

Welcome, I've been to Green Bay, worked at a Paper mill about 30 min south.

Welcome, keep us posted on your trip.

Sawyer mini for clean water. Prices and weight for it is good.

I wasted money during my transition from the ground to the trees. I would invest in an under quilt you really want.

I don't cook...

Singingcrowsings says,

"You hang, ooze, and sleep."

Exactly, the full length Quilt is so comfortable.

Thanks to this thread I learned so much good information. My Pct method kit now includes the smell proof ziplock bags. Didn't know they existed but makes a whole lotta sense.

I've used my 0dF +2oz HG Incubator when daytime temps were in the low 90's. I had a 0dF +2oz HG Burrow TQ in the mix. The TQ was way to hot but I managed fine with the UQ, The night time temps...

I have my "4" main corner tie outs prusic'd with a 6ft 1.75mm lashit. They just roll up into my tarp and skin no special handling. The extra tie outs are stored in a zip lock sandwich bag.

I started with pads and sleeping bag. I shaved off over a pound by going with a top quilt. 2.5 lbs were saved changin my pack, just a weight savings for me. Switching to the latest 850fill with the...

I used my tax return for the same purpose.

I agree, my 34L pack fits more stuff doing it this way.

I use the hammock gear CF standard with 2 tie outs for the doors. I roll the doors up and you would think you had a hex. The doors disappear.

I use Hammockgear.com Incubator on a Hennessy Ultralight backpacker zippered model. I love mine, seems to snug up fine. Can't report on other kinds, the incubator is my first under quilt.

Note: I...

Take this with a grain of salt so to speak because I really don't have much cold weather camping experience but I found that my 0dF top quilt seemed to be warmer than my under quilt. I found when...

Welcome, I found my inspiration in a book I think was called "The Backpacker's Guide" in 1974. Leave no trace...
