I agree about the s hooks, definitely not ultralight. I may replace mine with a couple of mini biners from Buckingham, 600lb max load each but quite light.

In a hammock so far, not cold at all. In a tent I did about -15C with a cold, dry outflow wind at Cultus lake park in BC in the mid 90's in a 3 season, 3 man dome tent in a bag rated for -10 or so,...
When I use one its a Thermarest backrest that I have had for maybe 15-20 years, sometimes if I want to get real glampy, I use that in the sleeve of a compressible no name brand fiber filled type...
Great! Thanks!
Bought an ultralight hammock, tried it out at work over coffee break and loved it. I carry one every day in my work bag and when the time is right, a ten minute hang in the trees beats any, well...
So, my son digs the hammock and any of his friends that have tried one are also probe to grinning and such. So in order to try for a dad of the year award nomination, I thought I might figure a way...

Love it! We are headed to the inlaws as well tomorrow for the night, they have a lovely structure for a hammock in the back yard but its bear country and its not that cold yet.... Not sure if I fear...
I pay taxes, I can hang in a park so long as I attach responsibly and don't stay too long. I have hung in a few parks and the only challenge I had was in Hawaii when an elderly fella asked if it was...

Awesome. I had a client come in to my work this summer, an old acquaintance I hadn't seen since high school more than 20 years ago. He bought trees from the nursery I work at and when we talked I...
Is this topic still alive? I am trying to complete a personal goal of camping at least 1 night, 12 months in a row, so far each year has had some obstacle and I haven't yet completed it. So far I...
