I use the V here. I tend to move around a lot on the first nights sleep and dont like the lines rubbing on each other. All of my lines and hardware are always attatched and ready to go along with...

First, Welcome!

Second, good job on not jumping in head first and doing some research and becoming more informed. Warbonnet and Dutchware gear will not fail you when you need it.

When I go to that "co-op", you're the one staff member that I hope I run into and point me in the RIGHT direction if my needs are not going to be met with the gear in store and show me the real...

Very cool! Cant wait to see what you come up with for doors on that tarp. Looks like plenty of room under it.

I have a trip planned to the Cedar Key area and looking for info on that area in July. Are any areas not hammock friendly? Any good area that I should look at hanging in? This is just a three - four...

Had a great time and good to meet everyone.

All packed up and ready here. See everybody soon.

I'm still waiting for the sign up sheet. I will be one of the four with cheff13 if I can get these dates locked down.

If your looking for some information from a "local", I suggest calling one of the many horse camps in the area your looking at. They may be able to give you some trail highlights, local food stops,...

If your talking about the thin bungee cord on the O ring with a glove hook on the other end, that is to pull up and over the bug net and then clips to the outside O ring to hold the netting out of...

Versailles State Park (in the south east corner of the state) has never given me or the few friends of mine that hang hammocks problems. Never had a problem in several years that I've been hanging...

As long as you don't lay back down "wet"...job well done I say. Who cares how it got done as long as it was done without infringing on the privacy of others camping nearby.

Well, I guess they are not so "screwed" then! :lol:

I have two snakeskins on my setup. One goes on the hammock and the second is on the tarp. The reason is it gives me the option to pull the skins off the tarp for needed protection from the elements...

After reading this thread it appears that most agree that something that glows in the dark is not going to fill everyone's personal needs through the late hours of the night. I done some research...

Guess if its noticeable then I'd have some concerns. Same thought goes for any body of water that I would consider filtering for drinking water though. Fish, animals, birds, etc. have the ability to...

I recently purchased mine which came with two sets of snakeskins and a set of HH2O water collectors. I placed one set of skins on the tarp and one set on the hammock. I've never used the HH2O...

1: I guess that's when you know your hammock is really comfortable.
2: Guessing that its too cold to get out of the hammock.
3: Is that an alternative to using a hot water bottle to stay warm?...

Funny. Cant wait for Shug to add his voice into his next video.

I'm laughing with you on this one... I have almost the same story from a lady in a huge RV near me. She told me that I could not sleep in a hammock. "Its' too cold". It was only going to be in the...

Nice Shug. This is THE Ultimate Pay IT Forward!! Hope that the person who wins this great package takes it out and posts a reply video of it in use.

How about a hammock and a scary Jack-O-Lanturn?! It is Halloween soon after all. :scared:

Don't worry about the tarp. If it works it works. What is important is that you set it up and lessons are learned. You found out what works and what did not. Keep the things that work for you and try...

Hello from Dillsboro. Welcome aboard!

A friend of mine and myself may look you up for a project or two. Neither one of us can sew! :blush:

Good information in a great write up. I was thinking about getting one of these, but information was a bit hard to come by at the time.

I seen that on TV and about fell off the chair laughing. Whats even funnier is how quite the audience got right after Drew said "$7000?".:lol:

Welcome from Dillsboro.

Welcome aboard. Spent two weeks in Maine last year. Would love to go back! Beautiful country up there. Friend is from the Castine area and her family has a cabin east of Moosehead lake and only three...

I bought some of the Harbor Freight glow in the dark rope and gotta say that it does not last long after dark. I really don't think that I'd use it for any type of loads. Maybe clip a small piece of...

Lots of great info here. Thanks for the write up.

Just got my two tarp tensioners done after reading the thread. I had the para-cord and two feet of sling shot replacement tubing laying around so it cost me nothing to do! Cant wait to get outside...

Looks good there SnrMoment. I wish the thread injector and I got along a little better.

Whats the park name? Been a long time ago but Ive been through Gainesville Fl. Looking at the pic, i wish I was hanging right now. :crying

[QUOTE=IRONFISH45;1339453]I have a top cover from my Hennessy SS, I use that, it has a hole cut in the top and acts kind of like a bellows when I roll over. It adds a lot of warmth in the winter, I...

Long trips, rolled up jacket. Short trip, self inflating pillow.

... not ever enough, but some hang time is better than no hang time.

Looks good. I wondered about the moisture build up overnight also. Maybe one of these days I'll make one.

Don't see a difference here. Only depends on what Ive had to drink before bed I guess.

Not a fan of plastic tarps but I made one to play around with setups before I got one. Not something that I would use on a regular basis. Good skill to learn and at least do once just in case. I've...

As my Avatar shows, my luxury item is my Yaesy FT-817nd amateur radio. I can relax in the hammock and talk all over the world from just about anywhere on 5 watts of power. I have not weighed my...

Hello from Indiana. Welcome aboard and happy hanging!

Best part is that you are imparting knowledge that can not be truly learned through a book about being in nature, self sufficiency, respect. This will be passed onto his children, your grandchildren...

From one HAMmocker to another welcome along for the ride!

73, ;)

Respect and much appreciation to you for putting this together. I will be passing this on to a friend who is looking at getting into hanging and learning knots.:cool:

I once was considering picking up some of these. Downside, they only last for a few hours and inherently have a weight penalty. Upside, they are reusable by placing them in a pot of boiling water...

Subscribed. Looks like a fun thread to watch! Got a few pics and waiting for them to be requested. :rolleyes:

I was thinking the same thing. My bank account all but dries up every time I swipe my VISA! :lol:

Never used Flex Seal, but I would think that it would be a bit thick once applied. Kinda like putting a mud flap on a torn shirt sleeve.

Welcome aboard. Lots of good folks and great info here. :)

Nah, having trouble falling asleep has never been an issue outside of the occasional bout with insomnia. In fact I fell asleep once while getting a tattoo. Good thing my wife was watching the artist...
