My first foray into the hammock stand world! Purchased a portable stand from Walmart that actually works ok for a single hammock (says it will fit hammocks up to 12’... no possible way!). But I...
Thanks! Yea, major bummer on missing the previous model since, after my rebate, it would have only cost me around $20! I will have to check into the Ridge Runner, but unfortunately I don’t get a...
Thank you so much. You have really given me some peace of mind. I read your update and it’s exactly what I needed to hear! Unfortunately it looks like the original model is no longer available at REI...
Fantastic. Thanks a ton for the update. I think this is the way I’m going to go. I would definitely love to get back to hanging and the thought of finally being able to sleep on my side is extremely...
Great review! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I have really wrestled with switching to a bridge hammock for years. After many sleepless nights in a Hennessey (I’m a side-sleeper),...
Ex Assistant Scout Leader and Varsity Coach here! I'm the only hanger, but I got a couple of the Varsity boys really re-thinking their setups! ;
Gotta be the Highline Trail in the Uinta Mountains. Absolutely beautiful. Pretty much goes from one end of the range all the way to the other. Through all the various passes. The trail itself...
Great video! Thanks for sharing. That's definitely one thing I envy you "Southerners" for, beautiful hiking weather all year long! :)
I would love to get out and camp, but I don't like the...
Thanks guys! We will try again next year. See how he does...
This is a little late in coming, but I wanted to get it posted anyway. I took my 9 year old son out for his first hammock hang in the beautiful mountains above Huntsville, UT. We own a little bit...
Just got my 3-Season Burrow yesterday and it is awesome! My first venture into the down quilt world and I must say, I definitely started at the very TOP! It is awesome. Thank you Adam and Jenny so...
A little explanation here would be nice. Just a blanket statement of its "worthlessness" is not helpful at all. Obviously there are quite a few people on here that have had great success with the SS...
Just ordered mine too! Woohoo!
I talked to Adam before I ordered and he said the Oldest order he had at the time was only 8 days, so they are making pretty good time now. He has standardized...
Well folks, thanks for all the reviews! I really appreciate it! I had pretty much resolved myself to Jspate61's suggestion (not necessarily BECAUSE of the opinion, but thanks jspate61!). But I was...
This is a very good question and I will echo the others in saying that it comes down to personal preference. But, I will also throw in my opinion. If you find yourself prone to claustrophobia, even...
Haha!!! Now THAT'S an episode I need to see! :laugh:
Whoa now. Let's keep this nice. Remember the whole purpose of this forum. If you don't like something, then don't ask for it. There's no need to insult other people's offerings. These kinds of...
Got the down vest from GvilleDave yesterday! Thanks Dave!
NewtonGT- send me a PM with your address and I will get the Paracord shipped to you ASAP.
My PIF:
100' of olive drab Paracord. 7 strands, 100% nylon, 5/32" diameter, made in the USA by a government contractor, brand new from the factory (I believe I can get you black or tan as well if...
GvilleDave - I would love the vest!
These are great reviews everyone. I really appreciate it. Thanks for sharing your experiences so that those of us who are a little newer to the game can gain from your insights. It sounds like...
Trying to narrow down my choices for a top quilt and I'm having some struggles. Without having seen any of the quilts made by any of our awesome makers here on HF, I need your help. I'm looking for...
Good question. It's both. You can use the included open cell pad and a space blanket and that will keep you warm down into freezing temps. By adding extra stuff (coats, extra clothes, whatever you...
I've never tried Whoopies, but I'll be honest, the stock suspension is really not that bad. The lashing they show you how to do is super easy and will never tighten up on you. I still have the...
Thanks Brian. Would the burrow fit a 6'3" guy? If so, rock on!
Nice 2Tango! That price seems a lot more appropriate. Would love to hear your review when you take it out.
Texron, thanks for weighing in! Your quilt is only 15oz???!! That's awesome! And...
Anyone own a Therm-a-Rest down quilt? They make 2 models:
The Alpine:

Yes, do tell.
Hey Jeff! Welcome to the forum!
I am 6'3" 225lbs and have the HH Explorer. I am just like you and can't sleep a wink on my back. Side only. There will definitely be a breaking in time for...
I must correct my original story. They weren't River Birch's at all! Russian Olive. Sorry, brain cramp...
I hear you there! Go dutch oven! :)
I really thought about the over cover, but I tend to get a little claustrophic in there anyway, so I'm leary of covering everything up like that. It might be...
Pleasure! It was a fun trip!
I'd never heard of the bread either before the trip. It was really easy, and dirt cheap!
First, get a dutch oven heating. We used a 14" and placed 10-12...
Took my HH Super Shelter out for the first official over-nighter last night and thought I would share my experience.
It was time for our monthly camp out with the Boy Scouts and heading up into...
Please share!
Nah. It's not stiff at all. It's thin, light, and rolls up pretty tight. The only way I know it's there is because I'm warmer. :)
I echo Dain Brammage on both accounts! Nice flag and THANK YOU for your service Marine!
Beautiful place man! Very jealous! How far is this from your house?
Congrats! Let us know how your first hang goes!
I really like the SS. I like the versatility of it. The problem with most UQs, is that they are just that, UQs. Nothing more (in regards to sleeping in the hammock. I know some of the JRB quilts...
Nice! You are famous Balloonatic!
Smart wool is awesome! I just wish it came in the KSO style...
Man, they sold out quick! They had a bunch more sizes available earlier today. Bummer.
40"... nice. Now THAT'S a shoe! :)
In case there are any other Five Fingers fans out there, this is a great price on real Smartwool Vibrams:

Looks like a BEAUTIFUL location! Welcome home, hope it was a great time. I too am excited for the reports!
I'm out. Unfortunately the Mrs. had other plans for the holiday weekend so my trip has been canceled. It was only a slim chance in the first place I guess. Hope you all have a great time...
Thanks you guys! Now I will just have to roll the dice and hopefully they land in my favor so I can come! ;)
So I apologize for being ignorant, but could someone describe the distance between the parking lot and the camp? Is it a long trek or is it right by the parking lot? With the new snow report, are...
Slight possibility that I will be making it with my brother in law. Depends on the weather. It's supposed to snow a ton here in Utah this weekend, so making the drive through the canyons might be...
