My friends son was in high school and worked at the local office supply store, he noticed that a very nice laptop bag was on sale on-line for $.01 with free shipping. He reported the mistake to his...
Cool video. Great part of the world to live and play in.
Best regards,

I second this approach, with a pole mod, the flexibility of how you pitch the tarp is from low, uniform arch for bad weather to flat (if you want) as a sun shade. If you sinch down one side of the...
My daughter (Lupine) and her fiance (Black Toe) and I had a great hike Saturday night up Mt. Everett (MA) to view the "worm" moon. We hiked the entire time without the need for headlamps. The moon...
I likey the idea of loops, possibly with just a small shock cord loop connecting them to have a little "give" if needed.
I have a WBBB 1.1 dbl and an Winter Incubator 900 w/2oz overfill. Was out last weekend high 20's (no test) and it is a fine combination. I have not got it completely dialed in yet but no CBS so far...
I would be interested.
I will be going SOBO starting in Franconia Notch, NH to ...... (as far as time permits). I hiked from Mt. Katahdin, ME to Franconia Notch last year. My youngest daughter is getting married in...

Anybody tried the Packa? What's the verdict on that?

I used a Packa last May, June and July in Me. It rained quite a bit with days of successive rain. A pack cover is a waste...
This is a photo of the first night I spent in a hammock on the trail, May 2010 in Baxter State Park, ME at Katahdin Stream Campground. When assigned to our site the only, the canopy post was used as...
Tried to upload a couple of photos today, but they don't appear to be there.
I agree with HOI, last June while hiking the AT thru Maine and the White Mtns., I wore my Packa and the tarp resides in an outside pocket as Angry Sparrow stated because it is most likely wet from...
I purchased a new SuperFly and it was defective:( BUT after a number of e-mails back and forth directly with Brandon, a decision was made to return it for re-work. Very fast turn around, refund for...
Hi OH,
Lupine and I hiked up Greylock yesterday via the Money Brook Trail to Hopper Trail, no snow on trail until Sperry Road Campground and maybe a 8" - 10". Nothing on top by the monument. It...
Hi Medicine Man:
Happy New Year. Since you are on the AT, just start walking, follow those white blazes north, I'll see you in about 3 1/2 months:). Sunny up here in MA, high today supposed to...
This is what I do as well exept I use tensioners and prussics. One word of caution I learned the hard way, drive or set your stake before you tension the tarp (tensioners, or shock cord). The...
thanks for sharing, brings back memoies when my girls were that small.

Slow Learner?:D Just kidding. I have a Tarptent Moment that I purchased this year. Just before I left for the AT, SOBO from Katahdin, I was introduced to hammocking and carried it to Franconia...
Ditto: my thoughts exactly.
Can you fill in the blanks? what is your new job in AK?
Thanks and good hanging.

I hope to pick up this year where I left off last year SOBO from Katahdin to Franconia Notch, NH. I used a WBBB, Yeti, BM, MJ with a pole mod, left Katahdin the end of May - snowed on Mt. Washinton...
Snow looks like mine too, but does anyone know where the white goes when the snow melts?
Got my WI on Saturday, set up in the dark, in pouring rain on Sunday to do a backyard test with new Super...
Just received my yesterday and will get to test it hopefully this week.
Hey OH:
You beat me to it. I recieved my WB SF a couple of weeks ago and my full length incubator yesterday. I was going to hang last night, but wife wanted to go out to dinner.
I am going to...
Hey did you folks hear - Christmas is early this year - just received notice that mine shipped :D
Me too, 4 degrees F this morning.

Many years ago I brought a hand made mountian bike (Fat City) when all the major bike manufatureres were heading to Tiwian, now I have a collectors item..... I have a WBBB, Yeti and Black Mamba and a...
Very cool pictures & music, thanks for sharing.
Regarding the pole mod, last June, Medician Man loaned me his set-up with a carbon fibre pole mod. I hiked the AT south from Mt. Katahdin, ME to Franconia Notch NH. 28 nights. The extra room the...
[QUOTE=Jimmy The Jet;326279]Shug, I'm with ya so far on everything but potted meat. :)
I'm leaning toward the WBBB, and would love a winter tarp like yours, but I ain't got the patience to add...
I am also interested in the early history, in my area it is the old roads, cellar holes, charcoal sites and such. Never thought of checking out old photos for signs of hammocks. Very cool pictures...
Thanks also. So much good information, so freely exchanged has allowed me to make better equipment purchasing decisions. Not to mention all the tips & tricks related to hammocking, backpacking and...
Ordered a Winter Incubator 900 with 2 oz overfill, on 11/12 - Good response to my emails considering how much they have going on.
Hey Warbonnetguy, nice work once again, love my tq & uq, pushed them last weekend on the AT, it was around 30.
A couple of questions on the SuperFly, - are the (4) tabs in the center of the tarp...
Just ordered a Winter Incubator, I can wait for the cold weather though, I have a large garage/guest house I have to finish siding before real winter arrives. Downright balmy here in W.MA right now,...
I just ordered a HG, Winter Incubator and was wondering how it might fit in my ULC Circuit.
Thanks CG for the posting your question.

I also e-mailed twice and pm once with some questions and haven't gotten a reply. I can wait but it is tough - money just a "burnin" a hole in my pocket.
It was last June in ME on the AT two or three days south of Monson. I set up - stealth, on a narrow bench half way up a mountain, had dinner and settled in, exhausted after a long days hike. It was...
I second Fourdog's comments. If your insulation system is correct for the temps anticipated including a healthy safety margin, then the only benefit of using a warm bottle is to "pre-heat" your...
My trail name was given to me by my wife's favorite uncle, Uncle John. Whenever we are traveling together I drive as both my wife and Uncle John are both "directionally challenged". I very very...
Really great pics thank you for taking the time to post for all to enjoy.
Thanks great video as usual, love the sound comparison.
Duane: I use straps, Dutch Clips, toggles and Whoopies - if the straps are really wet, they reside with the tarp - Whoopies are attached to the hammock, my experience is the Whoopies don't attract a...
Definitly keep tarp separate on outside of pack, just dew is enough to dampen not only your hammock but the rest of the contents of your pack. No matter how muck I shake my tarp it is still...
Hammock Forums: levitation through a lighter wallet:D
Just kidding - I love this forum and the cottage industries it supports and support it and the wealth of information available.
I have the same tarp and love it as well. I am going to add a pole mod to mine, I know it will add some oz for the pole but after using one with the pole mod it is even better as it increases ease...
Hello loved your photos and stories. My wife and I are headed to HI next week for 10 days leaving New England when the leaves are at there peak. I have never been to HI before so am looking...
My 2 MacCat Deluxe (Spinn) does not have center tie outs along the bottom, but I am waiting to install my pole mod pockets.

Headed to HI in two weeks - with Wife - not WBBB, your picture is stunning to say the least. Thanks for sharing.
