When I need to replace my netless, hopefully it'll be available in wide format!
I use a spare piece of clothing. Generally a downjacket or a fleece. I'm often comfortable enough without one, but it can get cold with a 3/4 uq, so I'll have it.
Thanks TrailSlug. I can see how the binderclips would work, but would worry about them wearing the shock cords. I did see the old thread, but decided a new one was in order as it was years old, and...
I was browsing the Dutchware site today, and saw the ridgeline quilt hooks. I cannot find them for sale in Europe, and since import fees are high, I'm saving up for putting in a bigger order.
In any...
I have my tarp, underquilt, uqp, peakbag and ridgeline organizer from Bespoke Ultralight.
Haven't tried one of his hammocks, but I can vouch for his quality.
Fantastic thank you! The current system is a bit fiddly, so I figured it'd work. I'll get it threaded on the shock cord ASAP :-)

Would mitten hooks be strong enough to attach an underquilt to my CLs? Or are carabiners needed?
I have mitten hooks already, would need to buy new carabiners, and I'd rather save the weight.

That does look nice, but not very easy to carry. We do not have a car, so even for just camping it would need to be brought on public transportation.
Hey guys! My girlfriend is keen on getting a portable hammock stand for backpacking and camping.
The cheapest option is the DD Hammocks stand (formerly Handy Hammocks), but it's not designed to be...
I sadly missed out on February and March because of some delays in getting my tarp and underquilt, but I have been out twice this month so far. One time in the backyard for a test hang, and once with...
Velkommen til forummet!

Welcome from Denmark! That's the same hammock I bought, and I'm loving it. Don't really have anything to compare it to, but coming from the ground, it's amazing!

Sounds about right!
Some whisky or beer wouldn't go amiss either.

Still waiting for my underquilt and tarp, so Januarys outing was in a shelter. Man, I can't wait to get my package so I can hang even when it's cooler.

I've only ever camped with a bugnet once, because of midges. It was my friends net, and luckily big enough for both of us (cowboy camping).
But generally bugs don't bother me

I'm similar height and width as you, and have not regretted getting the Dutch wide.

It's 10:30am here, so where is it? 😜

Thank you! That is what I thought after reading a bit about it, but I was still a bit confused!

I have some plastic line tensioners that came with some cheap guy lines. It has three holes in it, and I'm thinking I ought to be able to use it like a tarp worm? Put it on the tarp with a shock cord...
A question, I'm looking at some dyneema line, 2,5mm. It has tear strength listed as 580daN. How do I figure the safe working load from that?

I've just paid for my tarp, so the waiting game is afoot. I ended up asking for a tarp with the doors attached, and I think I will be happy with that!

Nice! I have the cumulus comforter which is awesome! If I ever need a winter quilt set, I'll definitely consider these.

I hung my pack on my suspension last I was out. The pack weighs around one pound, and it's mostly empty at camp.

Cheers!
I count it as the month it is when I go out. So going out today, and sleeping until next year would be December only.

I got 12ft kevlar straps as I was starting from nothing, and it wasn't that much more expensive than the whoopie hook suspension.
Tried the becket hitch last night, it worked great, although I...
Just came back from my 3/3 outing (nick of time!)
Gorgeous location by a waterfall. I really look forward to getting a proper tarp and underquilt. The condensation isn't horrible, but my pad was...
Thanks, that looks good. For the price, I'll give it a go.
If I don't misunderstand the real loop alien website, the aluminium wouldn't work for this though? Not able to handle the weight.

Nice videos, fantastic beautiful scenery!

Cheers, I may order a couple to test it out. I got the idea from watching some of your videos

Do you think it would be possible to larkshead a kola to my continuous loop, and use my 12ft kevlar tree straps on it?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
I would definitely buy some for a kilt, if it came in a tarp worthy material!

I ordered a custom quilt from Cumulus, it was shipped within days. I can only recommend them!

Hopefully it will help with the spam! I've tried using the forum, but the signal to noise ratio is not good as it is.

Fantastic photos as usual! You sure have an eye for it!

Fantastic! I saw your improved soft shackle video the other day, and wondered if it was possible to make a grapplers hitch in that style!

Sounds great! Depending on finances and time off the Lapland trip sound amazing!
Lapland is a place we have both always wanted to see!

Regarding the kindle, the advantage of the actual kindle is that the battery lasts for weeks, and you won't drain your phone so it can be ready in emergencies. At least my phone eats battery when the...
I'd love to, but I can't this year, but maybe if there's a winter hang in 2017/2018.
Seems like your weather is similar to Danish winter right now, your lows are just lower :-)

Thanks everyone for your replies. I started out thinking a tarp with attached doors sounded great, but sometimes you get paralysed by the amount of options. I feel fairly confident now that having...
Great report! I actually mentioned hiking in Finland to my girlfriend earlier today, as Denmark doesn't get so much deep cold and snow.

It rains 170 days a year, on average, and it is often windy, which is why I most definitely want some form of doors. Also, I have usually planned outings for 'good weather' and it is my intention to...
My hammock is an 11ft with a structural ridgeline, so around 110in if I'm not mistaken.
The reason I'm thinking doors is if the weather is really bad, and I have to be awake under the tarp and...
Hey guys, I've been watching a ton of videos and I'm still uncertain what is best in regards to doors.
I'll probably have one made instead of off the rack since I'd have to import it, and I'll just...

I'm usually hiking there once or twice a year (different places, skåneleden, hallandsleden, etc) and I've never met them before, so unlucky I guess.
I've never actually owned a bugnet, and this was...

Wooo buddy! Just helped my girlfriend order a Blackbird XLC, a superfly and a 3 season yeti.
Can't wait to see it all in person. It'll also help me in choosing what tarp and underquilt to get...
Haha, yeah, I suspect that's quite common. Also, I'm from Denmark, where there's basically always a chance of rain, or heavy dew. Here in Spain, it's either dry or monsoon type rain (which it is...
