That is really cool. Making something to fit your own specifications like that. It looks nice. Well done!

I don't have any help for you really, just wanted to say that I'll be watching, as I'd like some kind of bugnet solution that would work both on the hammock or on the ground if necessary. So I will...

I'd say 48 degrees is pretty cold for 1/8 inch of insulation. But everyone is different! Until you get some "halleluya" moment as far as getting the pads to say in place, maybe just keep a few small...

Good luck, let us know how it goes!

Yeah silicone caulk or sealer...here is a link to a thread where people are talking about it:

Hi,

I don't use a SPE. They do look useful but I'm trying to avoid the extra weight if possible. I was using a 26 inch walmart pad that has a waffle pattern. It isn't made anymore. I have it 48...

Are the pads moving as you get in, or is it just that you aren't getting them placed properly to begin with?

I have a nice UQ but have been using pads this season in an attempt to learn how cold...

I'm in! thanks!

I have been looking at bugnets myself. I'm looking at the WL and Bias too. Here are some others I've found

Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do this. I'm marking it for future reference :)

Hang in there!

I've been messing around with hammocks for years and still am always trying something new. Still learning or looking for better ways at all times. So I've been slowly absorbing for...

WOW! Thank you so much for the report and the amazing pictures! I enjoyed it a lot!

beautiful pics! Thanks for sharing. I drove through there years ago but need to go backpacking there! Thanks again, I enjoyed your report!

I have a couple of quilts but sometimes someone else is using some of my gear and I use a sleeping bag. If I zip the foot end up to about my knees, and use the rest and leave the rest unzipped it is...

I really enjoyed your video and look forward to more if you are so inclined. Beautiful country and it is great that you and your father are able to share the experience.

Last week I took someone...

That's a wonderful location. Yeah I'd sleep on the ground to see that beauty. Thanks much for sharing!

Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it a lot :). Gratz To CryoftheWild too!

Really enjoy your videos, I love your relaxed demeanor. Thanks for the vid!

Wow! You've got some amazing pics there. Beautiful. Thanks for the sharing the pics and the terrific report!

I very much enjoy your reports and videos. Reese Witherspoon and Devo LOL.

I like seeing people's experiences in the rain as I've not done much hiking in bad weather. Thanks for sharing!

Ah, I love living vicariously through the reports of intrepid adventurers such as yourselves!:laugh:.

Seriously thanks for the pics and I'm glad a good time was had! And that is some spider!

Beautiful view..thanks for sharing!

My friend Larry who I took on his first ever backpacking trip in July, which was just a quick overnighter, finally had some days off that coincided with mine again. In an attempt to escape the smoke...

I almost always camp near water because I like not having to ration it. I like having plenty to use for drinking and washing up. And on the hike in, I don't have to carry as much water if I know I'll...

Sorry to keep butting into your thread here, but its just funny because it is so paralleling my own experience trying to change trip plans due to this fire.

I had ended up with same choices,...

You guys may already know about this, but I just learned about this map page that shows the smoke pattern really usefully:

Thank you for sharing your wonderful report. It was really enjoyable

Awesome! So glad you had a good time on your initial hang! Thanks for the report!

Awesome video thanks! I've been thinking of going to that area soon and you've convinced me!

Love the dramatic video! Really well done :o....can't wait for the full movie!:lol:

I could only be away for two days this week, so I decided to go back to the Mokelumne Wilderness, this time going in from the north side, from Allen Trailhead, which is off HWY 88 near Silver Lake. I...

Wow! Glad you survived, must have been crazy!

Thanks for the video, it was great! Love your dog. Can't wait til I retire and can have a dog who will hopefully be a hiking partner. Hope his knee continues to do well. I travel too much for work...

Thanks for the awesome report..I really enjoyed it and the pictures!

Last Monday I started a 4 day trip in the Mokelumne Wilderness, which is about 100,000 acres that is bordered between HWY 88 and HWY 4. The PCT crosses this wilderness towards the east side. You...

Thanks Florida...I'm going to try the dutch buckle to replace the marlin spike hitch and I went ahead and ordered two dutch clips as well. I try to avoid having too many doodads, the weight all adds...

I just looked at that video on the Dutch Biner page and yeah...the first way he shows is how I used to do it. I went to toggles so I can connect closer to the tree. However the second way he shows...

I was threading one end of the tree strap through the eye on the other end and attaching my whoopie to the free hanging eye using a carbiner like Dutch item.

I recently changed to using toggles...

Thanks for the report, great pics!

wow Grinding rocks!! I didn't see them when I was in that area, not that I'd have thought to look or even realize that is what they were! Cool!

ss

thanks for the report, it looks like a great place. Sorry the trash has to ruin your experience. You know, once in a while you find some piece of trash along the trail and can hope that it was an...

Gosh that is a beautiful area. Beautiful dogs too! I can't wait to retire so I can adopt a dog! thanks for sharing the wonderful pics.

Beautiful spot. Thanks for the report, enjoyed the pics!

Got it, thanks..its awesome :)

Mine, that looks like the same one as Michelle's, is just a hair under 26 inches wide. That is a good width for me at shoulders and hips. But I haven't tested it in cold weather to see if its really...

Funny you should ask. I found a pad in my storage which is that one and just cut it down to 50 inches to use in my hammock. I love my UQ but am experimenting with pads because I hate being so...

Fabulous! Thanks for sharing. I'm putting this one on my list!

Funds sent!

I'll take it.

Loved reading your report and seeing your pics! Brought back memory for me as my second ever backpacking trip I camped at Milk Lake (had to look at map to remember it) which is east of Island Lake....

So I've been seeing these threads for eons and passing over them after a quick look and seeing it sounded you all were speaking a foreign language :confused:.
