The Thermolite bivy I was referring to is the one made by the same company that puts out the heat sheets. The material is different...softer, multi layer, less reflective. A little heavy/expensive at...
Does anyone recommend a specific SB to use with the HH super shelter? I just bought the larger size thermolite bivy sack. I figured that gave me the option of using it inside my sleeping bag or...
I just received my super shelter. Using the ss stuff sack as a bishop type bag is a good idea. However, I found that I am able to get the ocf pad back into the stuff sack by folding and rolling...
They make tents for dogs, but a tarp set up with a pad is prob just as good or better.
I do not have a hammock in my home, but for the past several weeks I have been sleeping in a hammock in my van. There are attachment points along the length of the van where the sides meet the roof....
Great Idea. I'm not really a DIY'er so really didn't think of that. Lucky for me, I just met a local lady who sews. She just repaired some high end cycling clothes for a guy that got into a bad...
Ape, I had emailed HH and asked how to wash. Ann suggested handwashing in a tub with a lttle dish soap. I don't think dish soap is the best idea. I've washed fabrics with dish soap and they seemed to...
What is your feeling re: using snakeskins to prevent uv deterioration of a sil tarp? Would it be sufficient?
I have a HH I bought on ebay a long time ago. I never used it because I have a severe allergy attack whenever I go near the thing. I figured it was because the previous owner had cats or something....
I'd think twice about using the permethrin. If you have a chemical sensitivity, you may have a reaction to the permethrin as well. Personally, I think using permethrin is a really bad idea anyway....
Three or four years ago EMS was blowing these out for $8.00. That's right $8.00!! The original tag was still on the product (way expensive) and the $8.00 tag was a handwritten clearance tag. That...
Permethrin is a dangerous insecticide. It shouldn't be compared to Deet or any other repellants. If I'm not mistaken, most containers of it carry a danger label (as oppossed to the softer warning or...
Ok...It's mountaingoat.com which has the WM bags on sale. It is the mountaingoat store out of vermont. I don't think they have an online checkout...I believe you have to order by phone. I'm glad to...
Just some heads up if anyone is looking for a new bag. I know most folks here prob prefer quilts, but an outfitter in Vermont has Western Mountaineering ultralite bags on sale for $288.00 and...
I also received my order yesterday (SP mug/coffee filter).

That should take you to the order page.
Clamcleats arrived today from UK. Total cost was $8.64 for a dozen minis and they arrived in one weeks time.
Thanks tobit for the referral. Aside form the wait, I'm good w/my UK order. Like I said, the price was right with excellent customer sevice. However, I hope my order arrives in time for a trip I...
I ordered direct from England. I also was not able to find an order page, but they sent me a link after I emailed them. Geez, they sure make it easy. Instant currency conversion and the final...
Anyone know a source for these. I'm looking for the ones like alot of people
got in the group buy some time ago, only not glow in the dark (black preferable). I know BBL has them, but I really...
heck, I think I'll just stick with the reg HH lash until I find the time to do a little more research. Thank you all for the leads though.

I know there is plenty of info re: differnet suspension techniques on this site. Although I plan to investigate all my options fully, I do not currently have the time to get caught up with the...
As others have said, just don't plan on camping above tree line...no one does. There are plenty of trees. In some areas it is difficult to find a campsite because the trees are so dense. It will be...
Thank you!
I want to make a sil BB bag for my HH. What is the best way to make the hole...burn; punch? Is there anything that needs to be done to keep the edges from fraying?

With or without rain fly.
Looking for one of these either new or excellent used condition
I got this too. I didn't click anything (just deleted it), but my paypal account was "locked" because someone was trying to access my account. Not sure if it's related to this Jeanette thing.
Jeff,
I'll take the Byer Mos. Hammock if it's still available. Paypal ok.

There are groups of recreational tree climbers that hammock high up. They use a certain type of hammock and climb with arborist gear. There are several groups here in MA that give climbing lessons. I...
Your biggest obstacle may lie in getting a response from Brian. I ordered a tarp probably over month ago. After not getting any confirmation from him, I sent an email. I still havn't heard anything....
I also am considering doing this but am a little confused. It's been said in these forums that using HH hammock without the ridgeline will tear the bug net. Others havn't expressed such concern. Is...
Anyone know if the hh adventure racing models are or ever were available in stealth colors (ie. green or coyote brown)? What are some of the differences between these and the ultralite asymn? I was...
