I've been in touch with the FB Admin. The FB Group should now be "Findable". Hope you all can join now.
Glad you are mending and still having fun while doing it. Nice bass work.
Best wishes on surgery. Keep count of how many pads of paper you use up communicating.
Call and check. Rules might have changed. I hung there some 10+ years ago. I believe all Texas State Parks now require 2 inch webbing on tree straps. They didn't back then. But then I never saw...
Hi and Welcome,
If you happen to "Do" Facebook, search for "Texas Hammock Hangers". They do a few yearly gatherings. One just happened in November. They used to do the November Hang at Fairfield...
For Phantom Grappler, many websites, on the blank box for entering passwords, at least on computers, have a small ICON way off on the right side of the Password box. It looks like an eye or a...
Hi and Welcome!
I can think of a few places to continue your knowledge gathering. Hopefully others who are active on this forum have some insight into gear vendors in Europe.
Check out on YouTube,...
Your whoopie should have two loops/eyes on it, one on each end. The Eye of the Whoopie, is also larks headed onto the ring. The ring is a great water break between the whoopie and the continuous...
Lots of great advice. I have been on some hangs and noticed that some hangers are faster at packing up than I am, and some slower. I try and NOT be too rushed based on others. I don't want to hurt...
I've had a bad back for......several decades. Several items already mentioned, help me. I get my hammock just high enough to be in a sitting position, feet on the ground and stand up. The "walk...
I'm ambidextrous in a lot of things. Pour either hand, scissors either hand, wrench on cars or with tools, either hand. I write (if that's what you want to call it) right handed. I sleep on my...
And note the item to also delete out of the Sent folder. On another forum unrelated to hiking/camping, someone deleted all but like 2 from their Inbox, yet still got the messages. It was because...
Same! Early in my hammock experiences, a buddy and I were on a river doing a multi-day canoe trip. It was 80 degrees when we turned in 30 minutes after dark (9 or 10 PM) but we were camped within...
I was lost when I first looked at this knot. As you state, it is used to join two ropes/twine of dissimilar size, together. I've learned to tie the "Fisherman's knot" for the same purpose.
Now I...
A few of these posts seem to be saying a Drip line on the TARP suspension/ridge line......Well.....why? I guess that is needed if you have a ridge line that runs full length and you run the ridge...
Just like about everything else.......
I use some shoe laces. Strips of some old cotton T-shirts would work. I larkshead them on to the hammock suspension a few inches under the tarp. I remove them in the morning and they go into the...
Hi and Welcome. There is a Face Book group, Texas Hammock Hangers. Most of those folks are on here also. There is a large group hang in the fall. It WAS at Fairfield State Park, but if you've...
Also remember that there are no actual standards and testing done on vendor ratings. And as noted, everyone is different. A buddy of yours could borrow your set up, sleep at 45 and proclaim...
Hammocks and Slacklines must not be more that 3 feet off the ground. They are meaning the bottom of the hammock? With no one in it? I usually try and get my hang so when I'm sitting in it my feet...
Contact the folks at Dutchwear. I'd also suggest contacting Dream Hammock. Discuss with both. Both are great vendors, know their products, will make suggestions, custom hammock for you and your...
Sorry for your diagnosis. Lots of "may" and "Could" but that research is still ongoing. Interesting was that higher concentrations/exposure didn't cause a higher incident, leading to think that...
I also use some Zing-it instead of shock cord, with a mitten hook on one and and a loop on the other. I can then stake them out, or loop over the tie-down. Lots of combinations. I stake the sides...
I don't think you, or me, or anyone, can. BUT, I think an Admin/Moderator can.
If rain is possible, I just do an extra check tug on each line, making sure to tug it into the locked position.
I use these on several hammocks.
Another trick/tip. I use about 8 inches of shock cord on these making a loop. Then larks head that to the guy line pull out. Run the line then out from the lock...
I'd not sew it. If you do and it rips, you have a problem. Shock cord wears, and when it does, you have a problem. How about just bringing the shock cord out at both ends? You could even just...
The farther out of cities, the better it seems to me. Our local (City) trail, I about gave up hiking it. For 1/4 mile from any trailhead, it looked like a dumpster fell over. Worse I saw was some...
^^ :lol:
Sorry for the error in your build. Good practice! Measure twice, cut once. I still screw it up.
Jennifer Pharr-Davis's books. Start with Becoming Odessya (I probably spelled that incorrectly).
Blind Courage by Bill Irwin.
If you want some history along the trail, "Walkin' Withe The Ghost...
I've only sprayed once. Only because I didn't want to mix up enough to treat just the few items I had. I've always mixed a gallon of it into a 5 gallon bucket with a lid I can seal. Then I dunk...
My past two experiences with Dream Hammock is to open an email. Tell them what you are looking for, along with your weight and how tall you are. Tell them your plans for the hammocks. Ask them all...
+1. I also usually sleep on my back or left side. I don't like the fabric up on my face so like the flexibility. Yes the UQ does need an adjustment depending on how I'm sleeping.
here, except with only 2 posts, you can't.
What others have said.
I've switched and keep mine clipped inside. Mine are DCF and the doors roll up and tie along the edge. IF only good weather is predicted, then outside would work. My...
I believe there are options for the format and you can change those. Mine are just fine, same as they have been. Check your Profile and see if you inadvertently changed the "look" stuff. You might...
First click on the "FORUM" tab up on the tool bar, sort of near the top. That will switch the forum to show you all the Forums and "Sub" forums you have access to. Then select the Forum you feel...
The assembled part, looks like it could easily be repurposed into a movie prop.....I see some burly guys hauling around a princess
Glad you are on the mend. Please take it very very easy! Do what the doctors tell you.
You can also go to Members listing, and then do some search and sort stuff to see the older "Join Date" people. I didn't write down the steps I did, it was a few.
It's not just Inbox on the count. It's ALL. So delete some from Sent also.
Well, several vendors make snakeskins out of No-see-um netting. I'm not sure how robust your fishnet is, perhaps it's good.
^^ Yes, that is what people call "Winding Stairs Parking area". If you park there, be very aware while hiking towards the actual ERL trail. That parking area has a lot of people using it so there...
No, that is the Little Mo Day use area.
Try this address for the "Winding Stairs" lot. 34°21'58. 93°54'07., AR-8, Umpire, AR 71971
To get there is a bit of a trick. You follow the...
I try and park in the NW corner, on "Mine Creek Road". Get the Guthook app for free. Then in "Arkansas Hiker" is the ERL, which is $4.99. Well worth it. Shows all the established camp areas,...
Huge congratulations!
I always hang my UQ, even here in TX when it will only drop into the 70's at night. But then it's a 40 degree, 3/4 one. I regulate while in the hammock by opening up the TQ, sticking a foot out,...

Some years back, at a church, a friend worked as an electrical engineer for our state electric provider. All high voltage, statewide transmission lines. One day he made a crack about "If it's not...
