Excellent read. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Really cheers to you!

That tarp looks amazing!

Oh no, the snow would have been great! It was already dang near cold enough.

Thanks Fronkey for putting this together. Both Sparky and I were stoked and had a totally rad...ical time ;) But,...

I don't think I'll make it to the parking lot at noon. I'll make it to camp sometime on Friday.

Okay, my request for time off on Friday the 14th is looking really promising. Unless a total emergency in flour milling comes up (which is rare with my company), I will be there. Thanks Fronkey for...

Hey All!

I just want to throw my name in there too as a maybe. I'm not on these forums nearly as much as I used to be (I have to actually work now when I am at work). So, I just caught this thread...

I am totally loving my new camo superfly!

Nice report and pics! I was just on Burnt lake last week. I pretty much experienced the same trip as far as weather, fishing and bugs. Wasn't sleeping on the ground though ;)

I have heard a few times on this forum that pads in a BMBH reduce shoulder squeeze. I just used my rei dividend on an exped 9 just to put in my BMBH. I am really hoping it will reduce the squeeze...

I own the 12, and it's more of a hassle to get it taught than the other tarps I own. It does provide a lot of coverage though. If I could do it over again, I would buy the 9. You can't beat the two...

OH MAN! A black blackbird! I am so pumped right now! I bet it'll look awesome with my blackcat tarp. I think the new winter TQ will have to wait now.

Oh man. I'm excited about this. I was just about to settle with Nylon for the bridges I'll be making this winter. It would be fantastic if I could get the polyester. I'm in no hurry. So, I will wait...

Yea, I've done the figure 4 position where my right leg is bent up against the side of my WBBB. My knee does go just above my UQ if I have too much of a bend in my leg. If it's really cold out, I...

I remember watching a Dirty Jobs episode where Mike visited a place that uses all parts of a goose. Once most of the feathers are ripped off. There is a machine that brushes off all of the down into...

Wow, I knew the new river was a good fit on the BB. But, it looks really good in your photos.

I'm planning on cleaning the house top to bottom this week. That way my wife should have no problem with me getting out on the superior hiking trail this weekend. (fingers crossed :unsure:)

Boy, you've been on a roll with the great camera work. Last time it was the flying camera, and now floating down a steam?!?! Super cool. Keep it up dude :cool:

Well, I gave Rockywoods a call, and they don't have any. It's not a fabric that they continually order. So, there's no telling when they'll get more in.

I also called vtarmynavy, and stuff is in...

Does anyone know if this polyester fabric PN EMR-108 from Rockywoods is still available? I couldn't find it on their website.

My wife and I both loved the GrizzBridge. Thanks to Shug for letting us borrow it and Grizz for making it! I decided to add a bridge hammock to the winter projects list (might be fall projects list...

I use this tent. Price is not bad at all. Only problem is that it's kind of heavy (don't know exact weight). But, for me, it's worth carrying. He carries the tent, I carry the poles.
...

Awesome vids! I am definitely stopping at the logging camp and candy kitchen the next time I head up there. And hey, I eat those tuna salad packets when I'm out in the woods too. I love them.

PM sent for one of the hammocks.

I just have to say that this thread is awesome... Too bad I don't work on Fridays. I just may have contributed otherwise.

Shug has been nice enough to let me borrow his grizz-bridge for my wife to try out. If she likes the bridge style, and this is still available, I will be buying. But, I understand if someone else...

Wow, amazing pics, and I thought the white caps were bad on my last BW trip.

Oh man. I can't wait to see the new hammock design. No pressure Adam ;) A down pillow sounds very nice also.

He sure did. Although, I think I am going to start bringing his dog tent along in the summer time. He wakes me up too much during the night. He'll get too hot, then too cold, going in and out of the...

We're goof balls when together. Thanks for the kind reply.



Yes, I now only work on my modern jazz at class. The floor stays at home ;) Thank you guys for showing me the light.
I might take...

First off, I would like to say thank you to Beep for posting his Split Rock experience. With out it, I don't know if I would have been able to convince my wife into doing this for our anniversary.
...

I don't know the dimensions of your tarp, and you may have already thought of this. But, would you be able to attach your tarp on the diagonal?

I wish I was going to Quetico. No BWCA trip for me...

Noooo. There aren't any left in my size :(

My tent buddies got me once by really swinging me on both ends of my suspension while i was sleeping. It kind of scared me just because I didn't know what was happening. I figure they were just...

I don't tie out the ropes on the guardian when I use mine. I just cinch it around my hammock suspension and let my hammocks ridgeline hold the bugnet up. The net might sag a little lower. But, I...

I only compressed a vertebrae and bruised my ribs after a dirtbike accident. But, I still have backpain everyday from it. That and all my other injuries from hockey and snowboarding, I wake up with...

Well, I figured I'd start a thread to vent out some frustration. I'm making a double hammock, kinda like the vertex. I really want to finish it this weekend because I'm going camping at Afton SP with...

I love the idea. I'm using Risk's stand in my garage right now and it takes up a lot of room. I'm going to try this without the holes.

You got pretty high up there. What an amazing view. Thanks for sharing.

Great job on the hammock.

Kids definitely think hammocks are awesome. I went on a day hike with my 6 yr old nephew, set up my hammock and he was more interested in pretending the hammock was a...

Wow, seeing that bridge (not the hammock one) reminded me of the last northern hang. I can't wait to get out there again. Thanks for the vid and laughs.

Lol. Don't worry, my wife stayed home. I just knew that this is the last weekend she would allow me to get out and camp. For a month or two anyways.



Thanks for the info Pizza. We were...

Yup. I wanted to go to Ash Ridge the second night but the other two didn't. Have you been to the lost lake or silver creek sites? Are they just as big? I didn't get a chance to check them out.

Well, my baby is due in a month. So, I knew this past weekend would be my last chance to get out there for a while. A couple friends of mine wanted to get out there too. We decided on Jay Cooke, and...

I was at Jay Cooke last weekend, and found a few ticks on my dog and I. Total bummer...

Looks like you guys had a great time! Thanks for sharing.

It is definitely time for me to donate. Thanks to all of you hammock gurus for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

Payment sent for 6yds. Thanks!

I did something similar. Using a zing-it loop, I put a larkshead on the d-ring and then slipped a prussic onto the ridgeline using a tube also.

Wow, I'm jealous. I got the old model last year, and it was good down to 22 with a fleece liner in it. But, I would way rather have the new one, and not need the fleece liner. I wish I could trade...

I'm planning on making my own video when the snow melts for all of my clueless friends and family. They always have this blank stare when I'm trying to explain it to them. Although, that doesn't...

Yup, I'm planning on making a synthetic UQ with mine. I was going to use the rest to make a sock. But, I'm thinking I'm going to jump on the wagon and use the rest to make a minimal summer tarp now....
