So this summer I did the famous Alagash canoe trip, all 90 miles of pristine north Maine woods and water. And as fun as it was, it rained A LOT, and setting up with so many different bags made things...

So first off, sorry I've been dark for so long. Second, I got my whoopie slings and all that's left is an underquilt. So, I will be uploading pictures of my setup later in the week. Happy hanging...

Shug is the best, he got me into this mayhem. :lol:

But, wait. How do you guys get the amsteel to go through? the end never fits for me.

Thanks guys, that makes a lot of sense. @fallkniven, what knife is that in the back-round? the lanyard hole makes me think it's by cold steel

Now, by the title, you think I hate the design. But in reality, I hate making those annoying things. How do I do this? The issues I'm having are with the wire and getting that...

roughly how small?

I have narrowed it down to getting the te wa breeze or the wilderness logics summer series under quilt. Youtube won't help, can anyone here?

cool, I'll go check it out

So I have a ity bity thermarest neoair. And I want to convert to underquilt, but I want something that packs down as small or close to as small. I have an osprey stratos 36, so space is LIMITED. I'm...

Mom kicked me in because it started to freeze, I was warm but it was too quiet outside for my liking.

I think an underquilt is in my future

Hi everyone, I'm in my hammock out in the bush-wackin backyard. I will be testing out my hammock for the first time! I have never overnighted in a hammock before. :laugh:Wish me luck.

Yea, I don't want to waste the rings. Plus, I think having a single strand intead of an adjustable loop (like whoopie slings)has more tree distance options. But, I'm a noob, so I could be wrong. In...

So, after testing my climbing ring suspension, I got a great idea. My idea? bowline knot on one side, trucker hitch on the other to adjust. I would tie these knots where the amsteel meets the tree...

just uploaded a picture of my suspension

thanks (random stuff for character limit)

the title explains it all, I want to show my suspension system

I think I'm gunna have to go whoopie before my big planned trek with the family this summer...

@ gmcttr, I definitely noticed that when taking it down

So I finally got the last piece for my hammock; climbing grade rings. And I was enjoying a leisurely nap and slightly moved to the left when the slipknot that made sure the line didn't undo in the...

I will be using climbing grade rings from REI, still debating on getting a ridgeline or not

thanks for the info! I was wondering if SC had hangs like I see Shug doing(his videos got me into hammock camping).

So I just got 50 feet of "red" (more like pink) amsteel. how much amsteel should I have on each side of my hammock for suspension? I want to be safe and have enough, but I don't want to have one...

What do you guys think? I have a thermarest neo air from my days of tent camping, so I'm good with what I got. But I was wondering if anyone has already tried this and if it was successful, I ordered...

thanks for all the replies, a lot faster than I thought. I want to stay with the rings, but I hear you guys loud and clear on the paracord; I'll probably order the amsteel today. Thanks for the info...

So, first off, I got a Grand Trunk Nano 7 with an ENO Profly raintarp. I am upgrading the suspension system with paracord and climbing rings. my questions are: 1) should I add a ridgeline? and 2)...
