My mummy bag gets used exactly as I'd see it in a tent - hood and all. I find that the cinched hood dramatically increases warmth and helps to keep the hotter air inside the bag where it belongs....

Thought I'd post an update in this thread.
I made a heavier winter quilt out of the loose fill thermo and was initially fairly impressed. It lofted up to nearly 5 inches (baffles were about 5"...
Tent footprints make fantastic budget tarps.

~$21 shipped from Kelty to your door. All I did was re-seal the top seam, and sew in a...
A lot of guys here use the Maccat Micro, which is 120 x 60, or 10 x 5.
Look up those threads if you want a good look at what the tarps will look like. They're doable with some thinking and very...
FWIW, the Eno will fit under a DIY Fronkey bugnet pretty darn easily.

I purchased a Mombasa Mosquito net from REI...
The Eno Double is a great hammock and can be picked up for ~50 off of Amazon, with free shipping.
DIY isn't nearly as difficult as you think. A hammock sized cut of 1.9 ripstop nylon will run...
Weighed, I suspect this is on par with something like an Eno Doublenest?
Neither! Near one of the tallest places in NC, taken near sunrise. Not on the map. 'Fraid I cannot disclose any more information than that on a public forum. :cool: It's like Fight Club, you...
Was casually going to mention.. Not to knock Dutch's products or anything, but if you're already using tree straps and the whoopie / toggle setup, which works *very* well and gives great...
I noticed you said you had ordered some whoopie slings.. Do you plan to use a marlin / toggle setup with the straps?
As an avid backpacker, I've got to say that it's a wash. A lot of folks here try to swing it toward the hammock side with an almost Prius-driver-esque superiority complex, but in the end it's tit...
Saw that and am thinking about it hard. Seems like Cabelas still hasn't shipped the Kelty tarps yet, as they still show them as being backordered. Makes me feel a bit better about cancelling the...
Canceled my order... Given the three weeks of backordering, I DIY'd another hammock and sewed up a couple of stuff sacks and other odds and ends with the old Singer 401A that has been sitting...
It was at first pushed back to the 16th, and then pushed back to the 20th.. Blah!
Looks like some of us are in for a bit of a wait. :mellow:
Cabelas currently has the Kelty 9 and 12 Noah tarps on sale for $42 and $49 dollars respectively. Bang for the buck, that's very difficult to beat.
As an update, while the site said "In Stock", turns out they were already sold out and this has been backordered. That said, Cabelas expects arrival of new 9 & 12 tarps around the 16th of April, and...
Indeed! Jumped on a 9 to accompany my Eno Double as a first tarp.
Here's another thing... Throw in any 'clothing' item to receive $0.01 "penny" shipping. The cheapest decent item I could find...
