Thanks for all the info. Looks like I need to place an order.
Right now I am struggling with a hammock stand. I found the basic plans here, but adjusted it for what I thought I needed and hose...
So for a tarp, I have been using a continuous ridgeling. I make a v at each tie off to run the hammock suspension through. It is fairly simple using a truckers knot or some such. With the...
Thanks for the replies. I need to look at a couple of these things. I am getting some of them cofused.
I do need some snakeskins. That would make life much easier.
So, I am setting up a second hammock, one that will be used for packing. Until this point, I had an ENO with atlas strap, a kelty Noah and a DIY poncho liner UQ set up.
With this one, I want to...
Peppy, I will take the combo deal. I would like the other offers, but from a practicality standpoint, this is probably the best suited for me.
Let me know how to pay. Pp I assume?
I will check it out. I thought it was spoken for for some reason. Thanks
I would be interested. Let me know your asking price and details.
Thanks. That makes sense. The pluq is a bulky and heavy item. For what it does.
So if I use my pluq and then get a 10 degree, I would be covered.
Not knowing a thing about these nice uq,...
So I am upgrading from an ENO DBL Nest to a DH Sparrow. In the process, I want to upgrade my underquilt. I am currently using a doubled poncholiner as DIY underquilt. I can be comfortable to...
I am upgrading from an ENO doublenest with a poncholiner underquilt to a Sparrow. I would like to find a tarp that will cover the 11 foot Sparrow and be significantly lighter than my Kelty 12x12...
I made a mini bridge type hammock for my dog and suspend it under mine. It keeps him dry and off my quilt. Maybe he just needs his own?
My dog also carries all his own gear and food. No free...
The gathered work. I just wanted to move up a little from an eno. Most of what I was looking at are asymmetrical, and I am just trying to decide which is best for my left leg. Papa Smurf gave me...
Yes, it was like the Amok I just looked up. Laying it it was comfortable, but like a sarcophagus when you zipped it all up.
My DN has been fairly comfortable, but I would like to move up to...
cowboy, is that an illusion, or are your feet and head significantly lower than the center of the body?
How wide is yours? the one I tried came up really high on the sides and was pretty narrow. ...
Getting to one is my problem. I work 6 days a week usually. My overnighters consist of leaving on saturday after work, making as many miles as fast as I can, camping and heading out in the am.
I tried one of those, but I do not remember which one. It seemed really constrictive and confining. I wish I knew which one I had tried. A buddy has a bizzare one that converts to a chair and is...
Hyper extension is bad, but sleeping with it flexed all night like the angled side of figure 4 is really bad.
In my doublenest, I would lay every which way. No looking at an asymmetrical, I am...
If you have a bad knee that has to stay straight, left in this case, with a flexed right leg, is one lay or the other better? In my double nest, I think I tend to lay more with my head to the...
ISOH?? I am not sure I know who that is.
EDIT: Oh duh, nevermind.
The dream hammocks have some really neat features. That sparrow has my eye, but I do not know if I would use the top cover. If I don't really need or would not use the cover, then I am open to...
I sure appreciate all of the information. there are some options available that I did not know about. What is the consensus on a cover? Do those that have them use them? Feel confined, hot or...
one of the things that interested me in the bbxlc was the winter cover. I see Dream Hammock has those as well, but I have never seen one in person. I have seen the xlc, and really fell for it. Not...
I am interested in upgrading to a nicer hammock. I really do not use one other than as a camping system. I have a couple of questions, but first, a little about where I started.
I am currently...
Does this have the vertical pockets under the shove it pocket like the Terraplane? Any exterior pockets other than the lid?
Thanks
Thanks. I will keep looking for the feet left in the used section.
Feet to the right or left?
Stupid question, but when a hammock company asks if you want left or right lay, do they mean where your head is or your feet?
Just starting down the hammocking road, but I think I will wind up...
Thanks.
Is a continuous ridge line a must, or should I try without for the first go? I should have a couple of hours to set up before dark.
I have an ENO double nest and a kelty Noah 12
This weekend is supposed to be my first camping trip with a new rig. The tarp just got here, and I won't get to try to hang it until the trip. I...
I will take the Cloud Chaser and the Overcoat by Ruff Wear if they are not spoken for.
PM sent
Thanks. Part of the issue was that in the tight picture, those were the loops closest to the tree. I think my wife said these were the larger straps.
Thanks. I will be looking for ways to lighten this up. I have to get it equal to or less than my old system. Things like that and whoopies my help.
Thanks. I knew about the calculator, but the rope and where I thought I should tie it would add a little length, so I was not sure.
I have some zing it on the way with my tarp, so I will rig one...
So I played some more. I actually had, in the tighter picture, the biner one the tightest loop of the straps with still too much slack. So I double wrapped the trees and tightened it up a good bit....
How long of a ridge line and where did you tie it? I am confused by where to tie it. It seems like the loop the caribiner goes through or the biner itself would work, but does that add to the...
I am off work today, so I will play with it a little more. I need to get my poncholiner under quilt finished as well. I think it is good to go with the exception of the final adjustments.
Thanks. The pictures all show people much mor perpendicular to the axis than I was. I may have been expecting something other than I should have.
BTW, no pics with me in it. The wife is...
The horses are very unimpressed by the hammock as you can see.
OK. So the loose was what I worked towards. The tight was about where it started but it was more level and lower.
I was pretty comfortable at the tighter hang but kept getting thrown to the...

I am hanging in it as I type on my phone. My hope had been for a wb, but my wife got this for me as a Christmas gift. It is what I will use since I will not return a gift like this. So, I need a...
It is not hammock related, but as a kid in Kansas, I was hiking blackjack trail with our troop when I had a tree fall and break my hand.
We were scrambling up a small cliff area next to a stream. ...
Look at trimming the claws really short or using soft paws.
I am trying to downsize a little. How heavy is this pack? I have not been able to find a weight on it. I see it has not been produced in a few years.
I would be going from a Gregory Whitney to...
Sierra designs and go lite are closing out last year's models. About half price.
I have an old adventure 16 that is in decent shape I could let you have for $20 plus shipping.
Personally, I have a newer rei that I am extremely happy with. The dog is too. If cost is not a...
If I may, without stealing the op's thread, if you go this low and are looming for a single quilt, will you be too hot at 45-50?
Would an uq protector give you any more range that using the...
Never heard of being tumped, but there is absolutely a tumpline. Used a pack with one on canoe portages at boundry waters when I was a kid in scouts. What a miserable piece of torture chamber...
I currently have a Gregory Whitney. It has so much padding, I really can't tell if there is anything less than a knife trying to poke through.
I would really like to drop down in size and...
I have a couple of issues that are making me rethink my packing. First, I have big packs. Bad plan. I fill them. So I am trying to get everything down to a reasonable size so I can find a nice 3...
