What a tremendous camping adventure! Thanks for sharing the great pics.
Just a quick visual presentation of my new WBBB and Gargoyle Tarp.

couldn't figure out how to post the video itself...sorry.
Oh I'm not wasting a second. I'm limping right back out this morning and setting up at another park. And I'm gonna do just what ya said. I'm gonna keep laying down until I'm comfy and the ridgeline...
Oh I have an upcoming video pretty soon, lol.
Now, Tuesday, just brimming with self confidence, I set out for my first official over night hang at a local state park. And boy was I not prepared. The first thing that happened, was I completely...
Hey a camo door kit with a black mamba jamba would look pretty bitchin' too. Let me count my piggy bank again.
Ya know, I missed the shirt trick on my first viewing. But when I caught that I went into the "holy crap, I'm impressed!" category. Loved the video pal. I tell people we are real close friends to...
Well welcome Wild one. Hey, you are up there with all the cool hangers in the "pie-nee" woods. Your a lucky one. Lots of hangers up there, and trails too. Welcome to the forums pal.
Put em in your underwear and they'll stay nice and warm. No wait. That makes me cross my legs just thinking about it. Yeah...a little dedicated bag hanging from the ridgeline should do it. (You want...
Now as I usually do a 7 day work week, I haven't actually found the time to go camping just yet. But you can be sure that I have spent many a morning setting up my new hammock out at the lake and...
When I was a ground dweller, a black labrador friend of mine was a most warm and comfy pillow (barring a few stomach gurgles and such). But as a hanger now...well...I'm still waiting on your final...
That dog looks pretty anxious to get in the hammock too : )
I'm still waiting for my HF flag to get here from DW. It's been awhile now. Ordered it on the 19th of last month. Gotta have it for my first hang, no doubt.
Boy, I'm waiting on my cordage to get here, and I'm in for my first hang. And with the ideas a guy can get in these forums, I might even do it right the first time! : ) Great system !
That will look awesome on my ridgeline!
Randy...You Rule!!! Love the flag!
That You Tube! Between Shug, and Nutnfancy and Cutlerylover, I had to open a separate account just dedicated to online purchases! I'm a PayPal preferred customer. lol.
Welcome to the forums pal....
Ah! Keeping the sheeple coraled...I see. Another instance of officials forgeting, that these lands belong to the people, and they work for us. I understand the conservancy aspects, and that not all...
I understand completely. I've got a Hammock Forums flag ordered. But I would like one with my own moniker on it eventually.
Ok, please excuse my ignorance here, but this is the first I've heard about hammocks being "illegal" anywhere. All I can assume, is it might have something to do with damage to park trees, but I'm...
Hey, that means in a double nest, I could get me, and one 100 Lb. girlfriend! Or me and two 50 Lb. dogs! Oh, the wheels are grinding folks. The wheels are grinding...
*the girlfriend I have now is...
I have my Sherpa stand next to my hammock and hold the pack, just in case I need anything out of it.
I agree. Nice design! And black too (my favorite). Oh, and I never pass up an opportunity to thank a vet for his service...So, Thank you Mule. I appreciate your toil and sacrifices for our country.
...
Got my diamond tonight Randy! Love it! Truly well fashioned and constructed. I'll checkout that Ogee and get back wit ya. Thanks again for my black diamond w/ the very distinctive orange stitchin'. ...
Welcome to the Forums! Loads of info in here, you betcha!
I had several questions regarding the tarp rigging, and these illustrations answered them all. A picture really paints a thousand words. Thanks so much for the brilliant illustrations. I can not only...
Hey welcome aboard pal:) What a great deal on a DN!
Well, I think I'm off to an awesome start. I received my Warbonnet Blackbird today in the mail. And the pleasant surprise was, I got the MahambaJamba tarp in BLACK! I also ordered a couple of...
I envy you! :)
Thanks for posting this Randy! I watched both episodes. Am I all caught up? You know, this area (around the Auyan and Roraima Tepuis is in the top 5 places I'd like to see in this world. Inspiration...
Never had a hammock. Could have purchased any one of them, but after two years of going back and forth, I finally chose the Blackbird. And I hear...it's on it's way!
That's good advise. Cost verses longevity. ;)
My final thoughts on this thread are, as David mentioned, I think we give the bear much undo worry. I have a friend who hikes the Rockies endlessly, with his dog/and possibly one of his sons, and he...
I don't think I've ever been in a forum with so many guys that sew. lol. Uh...
Very interesting. I learned quite a bit from this thread, as short as it is. Thanks.
Hey, thanks for sharing those great pics. Did you checkout any of those caves? Looked like a beautiful area, and I bet there are some caverns near by.
Thanks Pips. Great video. That boy Matt KNEW he needed an underquilt! lol. I love rookie mistakes on camera, so we can all learn, and shake our heads. lol. It was funny that Matt was set up while the...
It appears we are on parallel courses. I do those same things and more (cave exploration, stormtracking, ham radio, etc.) I'm trying to think..."just when DID I get on this ride? And what started it...

Welcome to the Forums pal! I love the Brits! I hired a girl from London, just so I could listen to her talk everyday :) Sounds like you've got your bushcraft instruction going well. Nice looking...
I've got a Blackbird coming. Help me out here. We're talking about one pad between the layers, and another (double width) inside the hammock?
Hey, I run around naked at home sometimes, but that doesn't stop me from doing it in the woods!:scared:
Man! Owl has me all worked up now too! Raid the hub! Raid the hub! Raid the hub!
*putting on my John Belushi stealth sneakers*
I haven't caught the show yet, though I intend to. But there is one thing I know for sure...
If everyone would watch Shug videos, there would be world peace. Whooo Buddy!
I like the dogs too. Hey, maybe we can meet sometime...over by Devils Den. I love the Ozarks. I've explored a few caves and old mining there. Beautiful area steeped in mystery and traditions. I like...
Uh, what kind of sound system do you have installed?
Hey! Well Done! You certainly had everything documented. The pictures are enough to give me the shivers.
I agree. Hense the air horn or whistle in the hammock. I also use a remote controlled lantern, placed outside for sudden illumination. On the larger scale, animals are more afraid of us (as well they...
First, I have to tell you...I watch a lot of horror movies. lol. And with my schedule (I work nights) it is darn hard to find someone for day hikes and overnight outtings during the week. Impossible...
Oh I recently made my order as well. I have to agree that email confirmation is what I am used to.
But I didn't realize this was a cottage business, and the product of one ingenious person. And...
