Ha ha. I was actually replying with how I too liked the DD underblanket.
Great minds...
I use the "underblanket" from DD Hammocks. (Same thing; different name.) Tested it down to the mid-20s F with my GTSBP and I was fine after getting it adjusted.
The DD under quilt has lanyards...
While it may hold, I would think that the insects and such could find their way into the netting if the internal diameter of the hard grommet was larger than the ridge line. That is one of the...
I like it, Karbo. May have to do that as well.
Yep, Todd. They even advertise it as such, which is one of the reasons I went with particular hammock. Lately (since it IS winter & relatively bug free) that is how I've slept in this hammock the...
I know that I'm new here and all, but with you guys talking about what kind of tires you put on your Ferrari, I get the feeling that I'm WAAAAY out of my league here.
Set things up right quick inside the house to show how *I* did mine. I plan on swapping everything out with brighter amsteel so as to make it stand out better. Just grabbed some cordage at work to...
Zig, on each end I ran a pigtail far enough into my SB so that I could reach it through my zipper without too much searching, then tied a bowline knot in these loose ends. On my actual ridgeline, I...
That's exactly what I did, Kat. The cord I used is some type of OD Green cordage we keep at work, but I'll more than likely change it out later. (Only used it for for the trial run.) Not sure of...
In all actuality, the only modification is knowing where to put the holes to run a ridgeline inside of the net. Make the ridgeline detachable like I did, & you can either leave it at home or use it...
Ahhh... I see. It took the "got into this one" as in the new one had arrived.
Good deal in the reply from SB. I'm waiting on it to warm up a bit so I can take mine back to the woods. (No under...
Welcome, Phoenix. I too lurked for about a year before my first post. A lot of knowledge here, isn't there?
Hey, Squidbilly & Prob, I'm in Gadsden myself! Small world!
I'll unzip my head all the way but may zip my foot 5-6" like you. (Makes it easier to reach the foot zipper with it being zipped a touch.) Made sure that I wasn't putting any unnecessary tension on...
Got it. I've also read where one guy put close to 480 lbs in a SBP during his trial run (himself, a child, & a pack.) He was a big guy to start with at 325.
Found an old thread discussing why we shoot for 30 degrees-ish. Looking at the hammock in your photo, it could be that yours is too tight, though I wouldn't necessarily say that this was the...
Dang! Hate to see that. Maybe there was already a tear there or some other defect? While the majority of my SBP use has been with it upside down (the no-net setup), I've still had zero problems...
Your thread prompted me to finally add an internal ridge line to mine, OP. Only took a couple of hours today.
Just finished my mod this evening. Had this thread tagged for quite a while, but always came back to it.
Thanks for the post, OP.
Not to say that the SBP necessarily needs mods right out of the box, but after you have slept in your hammock a time or two with the bug netting deployed, you just may find yourself leaning towards...
