I also use the SBPro and find it very comfy! I do recommend hanging it stock a few times at first so you can get the feel for what needs tweaking.

It seems convenient until you want "just a...

6 foot straps plus marlin spike hitch for me.

6' hugger + marlin spike hitch.

Hey ricegravy, did you seam seal your Kelty Noah's 9? I couldn't tell if it came seam sealed or not. If so, what did you use?

Yeah, my bowline knot tail goes through the middle of the loop like your first pic, the suggested more secure connection. Another knot at the end of the tail to prevent slippage isn't a bad idea...

Yeah, I was just asking after I realized the possibility of the bowline slipping. I will be putting that knot to a true test when I get in the hammock. If the eye splice is a more secure solution,...

Eye splice as in to form the lark's head or eye splice through the channelled end of the hammock as a "permanent" attachment? Just clarifying what you meant, I'm not opposed to semi-permanent.

I recently purchased Amsteel Blue for my whoopie sling suspension on my SBpro, and everything went smoothly with the splicing. After reading the Rope Tree Huggers thread, AngrySparrow mentioned his...

I busted out the measuring tape tonight.

Ridgeline from outmost edge of each tieout = 170.5"
Perpendicular to Ridgeline (Kelty to Kelty side logos) = 172.5" (give or take 2 inches for late night...

I made my first Whoopie sling yesterday for my SBpro. These directions were perfect. The hardest part of the whole process was threading the needle! I did a 10" bury like suggested with 1/8...

Got my Kelty Noah's 9 in the mail last week. Unboxed it and it had a leaf in it! I checked it thouroughly and I didn't see any defects, so I'm hoping it wasn't returned faulty. I will hopefully be...

At a quick first glance on their site, it looks like a lot of items are already advertised as anywhere from 25-45% off (and you only get up to 50% total off), so it may bump the price down only a few...

Thanks for the illustration! I was debating between these two for a long while and finally decided on the Kelty. For roughly the same cost/weight, the Kelty looked a bit more versatile for me. If...

I went ahead and ordered a Kelty Noah's 9 from Sunny Sports for $50.95 with free shipping. I also picked up the Figure 9 Tent Kit to go along with it. I'm headed to Home Depot in a few to pick up...

I'm seriously debating the Kelty Noah's 9 for my SB Pro. It looks to have a good cost for the weight. Seems to get much lower weight, you start looking at almost double the cost at that point.

I...

Totally understand the reluctance. I'm sure it can be daunting to some new to the experience, but it looks like a marvelous method for line adjustment. I had to read up on it to know it was what...

I just came across the Whoopie Sling thread, and it blew my mind! I am pretty sure this is the functionality I was going for, but minus the need for the SMC rings. I was staying away from the...

Thanks TiredFeet, apparently there's one about 7 miles from where I work. I will be heading there tomorrow for lunch break to see if I can score a deal!

Alright, so after some pricing of options, I have come up with a tentative, cost effective solution that will provide me the extended suspension that I needed, more versatility, and room for future...

Thanks for the info all!

Beast, I was looking at imitating Grizz's video somewhat. He showed some 1" heavy polypropylene webbing that looks like it will work really well. Thanks for the tip!

I just watched Part 1 and 2 before I typed this up. They were amazingly helpful, thank you so much! They answered many questions I had, and were super informative. Your videos were why I was...

Hey all, first time post, month long lurker.

I recently purchased a SBPro after considering weight limit, cost, and comfort (in that order). I sloppily hung it between two 4x4 fence posts on the...
