Problem free order filled for me recently on untreated digicam ripstop for my first hammock. Very friendly and very quick shipping. On my 'will order from again' list for sure.

Did mine recently - extremely small price to pay for 'club membership/dues'.

This forum, and all you fine people, ROCK. Usually, with a gentle breeze, but occasionally with assistance of a ground or tree nudge. This is direct opposite of sleeping on a ROCK, which makes one...

Good points and I'm likely to stick to a more proven and modular design. I was intrigued with the bugnet and shape as having a single tarp setup for my wife and I is an attractive option. ...

Yeti is a quality quilt. I'm on the fence with a DIY underquilt in full length. Don't care much for a pad in a gathered end hammock and thought I'd give a full length a try for a winter UQ.

Any updated pics from your last trip?

That's a fine way to start - recent first timer myself with an XLC and nothing but positive things to say about Brandon and his products. (Have the Yeti and superfly as well)

You did good in...

So I've recently discovered the Nube, after the Kickstarter had closed. There is some great thought around the design, with a few areas leaving me scratching my head. My main question to the group,...

Travel pillow sleeve stuffed with already packed clothing for me. I find neck support much more important than head support - beanie insulates my noggin.

I would argue its diminishing returns to the end point, but no negative impacts on insulation value, but more in compressibility, cost, etc. Interested in more experienced peoples opinions.

Made my own. Buy you a spool of amsteel and some 1 to 2 inch poly webbing and get to work. Splicing is addictive and very easy to do - my success at it is good evidence to that and learned it...

Finger and thump pistol formation for me - no batteries required.

First and foremost - welcome and good luck in this life endeavor and admirable cause. I love your out of box thinking with the bugnet, gear hammock, and double decker tarp support. Quick question as...

Sure seems like this thing would be 'cold' to sleep in given how high the tarp is off the ground. I know it can be lowered, but then how do you get in given the tree sides are so low? Love the...

Color me intrigued. I missed this until today and can't wait for the reviews - sounds like a great time!

Splicing should come with a warning label. More addictive than caffeine and gives me a different kind of jitters!

Sealed mine after my first major rainstorm - your head area will get wet in a downpour without sealing those pull outs.

Buy some spare needles. Yes, they do break.... <heads off to Joann's tomorrow>

I would add that this thing is nice and toasty at 68 degrees indoors - worth the investment for the poncho liner for an indoor hammock quilt alone. Will post picks in the sewed up version thread -...

Here's my first take - think I'll be converting to the sew up version. A bit sloppy and 'futzy' to get set up and sealed off.
...

Nice work! How did you attach your ridgeline? Just completed my first from scratch and I'm hooked!

Recent whoopie convert. Straps are great and easier adjusted to tighten....but hella more difficult to loosen in my experience with them. Whoopies are lighter and easy for me. HYOH

Any pics or videos of the airship? Think this is an amazing idea!

Thanks Lost_biker - much softer after the wash! I'm nearly "done" with this kit. Just need to figure out my interface with my whoopie slings and continuous loop. I was larksheading them together,...

Look forward to the pics - this is still on my project list.

She loves her pink tablecloth, so until I find digicam in pink, this one is safe for me! She's more car camper than backpacker so the extra weight isn't a penalty. Those tablecloths are...

I'm going to have to do this for sure - thanks for that tip. That was my one quick observation thus far - crinkle taffeta is more comfortable than new ripstop. Am I fine in leaving my amsteel...

I own a WBBB XLC DL 1.1 that I've taken on one 5 day trip that worked perfectly. I've recently inherited a thread injector from my grandmother and got a bit of the DIY bug that started with a pink...

Too bad there isn't an 'easier' way to get a cover made for these. Watching some youtube videos, it seems that it's the hardest part of the build - outside of just tiling square tarps over it.

Thanks! It was so comfortable and easy to do, have 5 more tablecloths on order for me and a few others as gifts. The fabric is very comfortable and I think it lays as good as my WBBB XLC DL 1.1. A...

Only problem with this method for me is that it prevents hanging my UQ from the knot. WB method for me for this reason only. I like the look of this method a lot however.

Here's my first take on a DIY for my wife's first hammock. Thanks to everyone for the sharing of whipping techniques, splicing techniques, and creative idea sharing - wouldn't have been able to...

That is practically no space at all in the Outback! I happen to drive one myself and you have been a big inspiration as I think this will get the wife to car camp with me 'hanging style'. Keep up...

Any pics of it all bundled up or in the Outback? Camp chair is a brilliant idea - thinking a combo pack cover/camp chair/gear hammock for each party would be a great idea.

Definitely interested in seeing more pics. I'd like a view of 4 hammocks without tarp if I had a wish list. Very nice work and very inspiring - thanks for sharing! I've already got visions of next...

Well, after playing with the calculator while sipping my coffee, I see now why I failed geometry! Additional spans? Not possible in a 2V config. Longer probably isn't advisable from both a waste...

Thanks - sounds like its in the zone for 10ft hammocks - might bump mine up just a little in the calculator when I eventually take this on. I like how you optimized around 10ft conduit with minimal...

How much hang distance do you have in this set up? Wondering if this is too tight form4 10 foot hammocks.

Haven't seen anything listed that indicates more innovation than less marketing gimmick. Mould be happy to be persuaded otherwise with some real data, which seems pretty nonexistent.

Very cool and has me thinking about a car camping setup with one of these. A great 4 person hanging shelter with some center shelter room.

I'm in,, booyahhh!

What is the exact model and does it support mapping?

How do you tie a Munter hitch on a closed d? I know how to do it on a carabiner, but not sure how its done without an opening clip.

The Super Light is a 0 degree F (approximately -20 degrees C) rated mummy style bag. It is available in four sizes; 31 inches wide in the torso and 80 inches long (regular regular) (weight is 4...

Yep, you are bat-crap-crazy! :lol:

I just don't trust knots, ropes, fabrics, trees, or nylon chewing tree rats with my peaceful nights sleep. I can see how it would be fun, if you weren't a...

Enjoy and congrats. My wife thanks you as well! :shades:

Never mind - looks like Backpacker78 likes it in all forms!

PM sent if you are still interested.

What's the traveller made from and what suspension?

Sargevining - I agree with a lot of what you say, but think that down is actually having a bit of resurgence with the UL backpacking craze. Until synthetics can match weight with equivelant...
