Im also in chesterfield and would be interested in a poco hang
I have to work friday. so I think im out unless a group is going to head out on saturday
I may be up for this
just a thought, though it will add a few bucks to the plan. what about adding a T-joint and a short Stub to the risers and attaching the 90 elbow to the stub. this will give you a nice little ledge...
buy a can of NeverWet from rustoleum and make your tarp super dry
more of the residue from the esbit building up on the device
and yes i need to donate one of these days
There isnt really a forum for new general backpacking equipment but I thought Id share this item I ran across. For fans of the BioLite Stove(heavy) and the powerpot(still heavy) here is an 8 oz TEG...
the Skins from Mountiangoat give you confience and less of a weight penailty. and allows your tarp to dry while hiking.
Get a couple Gear straps and a silicone sock and hang the rifle from your suspension or a soft case and sleep with it. as for packs I like to hang mine at the head of my hammock, it lowers the head...
I have an EnLightened 30* and its awesome
if your loops on the dog bone are large enough, id say it out weighs the pros of a CL. A CL may be stronger but i dont know for sure. A CL will use more amsteel.
welcome from RVA
a roll of refletex
if your legs are up for it you can do a nice two day circut in SNP by hiking down Swift Creek Run and up White Oak Canyon. did it this weekend with KRShome and it was a leg burner but great views and...
enlightened equipment works on my yukon which is basically a eno clone
You could use really long guy lines and run them from the snakeskins to the stakes all slack like with a tensioner or somewhat on the stake and quickly just pull all your guys tight
make a long dog bone, a nacrabiner, and a whoopie!
dutch sells 25ft sections
im still in hit me up with the details
There is a trip this weekend in snp. Look in the trips-----> southeast section
i have prodgy30's for UQ and TQ and love them. great service and top quality. as a side note the UQ will fit in a 8L Sea to Summit evac bag and the TQ a 13
I have a national parks pass as well and the last time i went fishing, outside of a boat, i ended up catching my own ear and tying a butterfly in my fly line. but if you want to fish im game. tank...
Any word for next weekend?
Shug I like that setup especially the jacket foot quilt. Quick somebody convince Dutch to make a clip kit to make any jacket or vest into a quilt
What if you used a setup to use one suspension with the option of quilt, quilt B, or both A and B? What I envision is making the edge channel out of grosgrain segments instead of a single or sewn...
Look on steepandcheap.com and you can usually fing a gibbons SL on sale once a week. I get what you want to do. You want a solid line at about your head level that you can grab on to, to assist you...
thats how most TQs are designed, just with straps instead of a second half
Wild pig vs Dog +.45=bacon
I did this to mine and have had no issues
Since I cant find an actual thread on this vendor/product i wanted to start one.
These are perhaps the second best value purchase I have made relating to my hammock ($20 from woot and the no. 1...
four pages to get a handy hammock mention. we are losing our touch.
though not to disparage the HH but its expensive to get it here, and i think the kelty could be used the same and not need the...
A couple of things to help you on your way:
look at investing in a battery lightstick (google lazerbrite 2) they will run for a long time ans can be seen by other boaters.
look into running a...
My enLightend Equipment UQ uses linelocs and i love how they work. Im eager to see how they mesh with dutch's ridgeline UQ hanger as i dont like the prussiks i currently have.
My slap straps streched and put me on the ground only one hight when i had to set up on a really long hand with a bad angle. the next night they were fine, however, i have since switched to using...
I would second the canvas and the futon mattress. a double layer of canvas should be strong enough. sewn in a x shape with sme reenforcment in the corners and a grommet kit.
the ones from mountiangoat are awesome
I run a line underneath my hammock and clip my dogs (both of them) to the line 4 ft leashes keep them out of the guy lines
im still in
since you are open in the middle you coud add a electric trolling motor for propulsion with a rear long oar for back up. but i really like the idea
you are a bit unstable. I would add an outrigger on each side
hey down hill i waiting to hear from work but i might have some time over memorial day
vacation is in
i apply the -1 rule to tents to figure out how many can sleep comfortably
as shaky as the thing looks the handy could serve as the outside support and depending on how portable you want it a centerpole could be as easy as a 4x4 or 3in steel pipe with a good base and...
+1 to dust everywhere. ive seen these storms on two continents and dust everywhere is an understatment. in a good dust storm a tarp has a good chance to go bye-bye so id sock it, shouldnt be raining...
you dont want it on anything thats going to be in constant skin contact. especially if sweat from that area will get in a sensitive area. so no to underwear, socks, and hats. a note on hats----you...

sounds like the trip is a wash then
