Pretty cool you can camp in those woods. I've had a black bear wander up next to my camp but I don't know if I'd rather that or monkeys. Thanks for sharing!

Are these regular length?

Since a gathered end hammock is pretty simple to make and a heavier sil-nylon can be gotten inexpensively, you could just make one to your exact liking. Dutch probably has everything you need to get...

Hell of a setup for your first hang. You really jumped in with both feet. Very nice! Glad you enjoyed it!

This is a great article and great discussion. Thanks for sharing!

This thread illustrates just a few dangers of being in the woods that most of us don't think about when we need to. I personally...

I'm jealous... I can't wait to get back outside and hiking. Looks great!

Welcome! It's always interesting hearing input from other countries and different perspectives on things.

I like the extra fabric of the DN. I bought the DN because the wider the fabric is, the more diagonal I can lay. Plus there's enough space that two of us can lay in it.

Even though the fabric is...

Welcome! Not many people get into hanging by jumping right into DIY. Ambitious! There is a TON of great information around here to help you get started.

That looks incredibly comfortable! I like the multi-layer design because of the versatility, but it's definitely not for even the mildly claustrophobic. That wearable sleeping bag looks like fun.

Great photos! You take these with the Fuji X100?

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!

This looks great! I'm jealous of the snow camping. I'm ready for some snow here in PA!

I'm surprised it held up so well to the snow. This looks like a winter project for sure. Thank you for...

Welcome from PA! I'm not a hanger/fisher and I'm not a hunter either, but this time of year when all the guys are taking off a week at a time to go sit in the woods and watch for deer, I'm thinking...

Welcome from Pennsylvania! I spent a little time in Cookeville a few years ago at the Minister's Treehouse! I love the mountains in that area. Beautiful country.

Great video series! Always interesting seeing videos like these in other countries. Thanks for sharing!

I'm this way with most things, including my hammock. When I got into hammocks years ago, it was because a buddy of mine had an ENO and that's what I knew. I had touched it, laid in it and thought...

Like someone else said, definitely check out DutchWare. You can get tree hugger straps and whoopie slings for the same $30 as Atlas straps. I have an ENO DN and Atlas Straps and I love those...

I'm in the same boat as you right now and trying to work my way through. My best suggestion is to pack everything on your list and go out for a 2-day weekend hike. Pay attention to what you use and...

If it was down, I would say to harvest the down and make something. You can use the halves to make a TQ and an UQ. I think I would take one half and make an UQ and use the other half to make a pod...

I've been avoiding doing this... I need to soak my bag and pack... they're kinda... pew-y too.

Like Radar said, it's the stillness of winter that I enjoy. It's the quietness and solitude that I like during winter. I'm headed out this weekend by myself and I can't wait. It's cooling off...

Welcome to the madness. Start digging around... you'll be obsessed within 48 hours.

Welcome from southern PA!

This is a great idea! Easily solves the adjust UQ, try it, get out hammock, adjust UQ, try it, get out hammock, adjust UQ, try it, get out hammock. Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

Never heard of them. Nice prices! Thanks for sharing!

This is a great idea! I think you'll be very successful with this idea. And you're close by for me! That'll be convenient.

I'll take it! PM incoming..

Pheww... Okay, I'm not the only one.

Awesome setup! That looks incredibly comfortable!

I don't think I'd have a problem sleeping in there... I would have a problem getting out of it in the morning. Too comfortable!

Great trip report! Thanks for sharing! Hammocking (is that right?) Can we say hammocking? Hanging... That sounds more acceptable around here. Anyway.. it's something that no one knew how to do...

That's what I figured everyone would say. I would love to eventually go that way, it's just not possible right now. Thanks for the input.

Here's my dilemma... I inherited a low core temperature and I'm a very cold sleeper. I use a 0* bag most of the year and I'm in the market for a new one. I have a small budget of <$100.
...

Is the Marmot Kestrel also a regular size like the rest? I'm really looking for a long.

Welcome to HF! Sweet username.

Great video. I've considered making the drive to hike that trail but for the several hour drive, I think I'll head back over to Pine Creek Gorge again. Thanks for sharing!

Interesting... we have...

Welcome to HF! I think a lot of us are here because of Shug.

Amen to that.

I assume if you have a pot lifter that it doesn't have the handle?

If it has the handle, I'll take it!

I agree with Brian. I would make the thing fit with my hammock and have the suspension figured out before I spend the time and money to stuff it. If you're not worried about really cold weather,...

I like this idea better than the canvas ones. This one I could actually carry in a backpack if I wanted to. The others that I've seen would have to be pulled in on a sled and I'm not into that yet.

This answers my question - not really a yes or no, but I think I'll research some other basic plastic options for even cheaper.

This video is what convinced me - ...

Looks great! To each his own... I like the extra fabric of the ENO DN. I can wrap it around me if it's chilly, damp, or for bugs. I definitely need to get a tarp that size. That looks great.

Tennessee treats State land the same as anywhere else, per that law. Discharging a firearm isn't allowed unless you are hunting in a designated hunting area and following other laws. Basically, in...

I'm taking my girlfriend and her 5 year old out with me next weekend so I'm trying to pick up supplies as cheaply as possible in case they hate it...

As we will be backpacking part of the AT, I'm...

Welcome from the north!

Hell of a way to break in some new gear!

It'll definitely get easier each time you do it. Good for you for keeping with it despite heavy lifting, injury, and man-eating bugs! Haha..

Haha... welcome to the club.

You should search the DIY sub-forum. There is TONS of information in there, as well as tutorials and lots of people that have done it before. There will be suggestions on where to get materials and...

Look at the rental prices alone. The purchase prices aren't terrible I guess considering they come as a finished product.

Now I want one. Bad.
