Forgot to mention the weight. I put it on my scale in the stuff sack and it came out to 1lb 8.8oz. Stuff sack itself weighed in at .7oz. I have no idea what that converts to in grams. Just about...

Hey all, so the other day I received my Jalapeño pepper top quilt from Loco Libre Gear. No pics yet but I will take some on request.
Heres what I got:

75" Standard width, 6.0 CS Apex, Woodland...

If your back injury had anything to do with a bulging and/or herniated disc a banana lay will only exacerbate your pain. Laying like a banana will cause your lower back (lumbar spine) to flex,...

I like my yukon outfitters tarp. It has kept me dry in some pretty heavy rain without much of an issue. I did have it pitched pretty low but it did what it was supposed to do. It also packs down...

I have one and it works just fine. Like you said not ultralight but its also not super heavy either. You may want to check on Woot! for those tarps tho. They usually go for around $20 and have been...

I love that this is a land of freedom and that it will continue to be thanks to our men and women in the armed forces

If they're going to hang in mostly fair weather, the yukon outfitters tarps are on sale on woot pretty often for $20. I have one and it works just fine

Stop trying to sleep on your side in a hammock. In a bed I'm a side sleeper, stomach sleeper, basically any position but my back, but when I'm in my hammock I'm on my back and I sleep well. It takes...

I just wanted to give a shout out to Paul. Last week I contacted him about the shock cord length on my jarbridge underquilt and how I thought it might be too short which was causing some comfort...

Anybody have a good website to get information about trails? When I google the Sneffels Traverse (which is the name of the trail) all I get is ski races

Second in line if the first sale falls thru

Dutchs polyD 1.2 halfwit hammock with whoopie hook suspension with 4 ft huggers is like 14.5ounces. that takes care of hammock, bugnet, and suspension. then if you go hammock gear cuben fiber hex,...

I haven't had any issues with the partial length but I've only done a few overnights so far where the temps didn't even drop that low so it remains to be seen

War Eagle!

The jarbridge is awesome. Great quality and I was surprised with how warm it is. I got the 3 season and its pretty much too warm to use down here right now

Wouldn't that be the perfect time to set it up and test it out?

If you go to the other vendors sub forum there is a sticky with canadian shops

I have heard good things about the packit gourmet meals. Ill probably order a few to try before my trip

I think if you're going with a walmart tarp theres no need to get fancy cords and titanium gadgets to hang it with. Just get some paracord from the camping aisle. Also no need to order stakes from...

Try contacting Firesong here on the forum. I believe he does custom orders in Canada

Yeah I know I need to bring clothes for weather ranging from hot to below freezing. They have cooking utensils and everything in the huts but ill probably throw a cook kit in there anyway, it doesn't...

Well I can't change the title but if people read the post it says colorado in the first sentence

Nobody's got anything for me? What about pack size for a 5 day trip? What size would you go with if you were carrying all of your gear for 5 days and what size would you go with if you were only...

So I just booked a trip to Colorado in June for a 5 day hike beginning in Telluride and ending in Ouray, Colorado. This will be my first longer backpacking trip. I don't have to bring my hammock...

Depending on the tree size in your area you might be able to get away with 4-6 foot straps, and no reason to go with 8 foot whoopies. 6 foot whoopies should be plenty

Why not just use velcro? Seems like it would be much easier than a zipper

Digging up an old thread here.

I'm thinking about doing a 5 day hike in the San Juan mountains (Saw it on The Clymb). I know I don't need to take my hammock set up because technically there are...

It shouldn't be an issue. Even with the opening in the bottom, your underquilt should protect you from getting bitten from underneath, and when you're in the hammock, the sides of the net seal...

I think that its gonna take up a huge amount of space in your pack. But it should be more than large enough for a few people to hang out under

No need to make a special under quilt for a bottom entry. A standard under quilt with shock cord suspension should be able to be pushed out of the way while you are getting in and snap back into...

Two people in a hammock for any significant amount of time is never comfortable regardless of which hammock you have.

I have a jarbridge from AHE thats rated to about 25* and I believe it uses 6oz climashield

I hung my tarp with some paracord and a couple figure 9s the other day. Worked great. Eventually I'll upgrade from paracord due to the stretch but its what I have for now and it works

Took a nap outside in a light rain this afternoon and was totally dry. I like this tarp!

There is a forum member who was making bridge hammocks for bigger guys. I don't think he's been doing it due to some personal situation but it may be something to look into if he decides to start...

Got my tarp today. Super fast shipping since I only ordered it the other day. I think I might like it better than my kelty noahs 12 for summer. Its very easy to get a taught pitch

Ive been waiting for the rainfly to pop up on there. Now I'll have a full setup to loan my brother

Try sleeping in your hammock for a night or 2 before you go on a trip. I think its just something that your body needs a chance to adjust to

I do have an under quilt. Jarbridge. And I do have enough in amazon gift cards to get it for less than $100. Just not sure about it since I haven't read anything about it on here. I know their under...

I second returning the slap straps. They will stretch and you will end up uncomfortable and/or on your butt. Look at dutchwaregear.com or arrowhead equipment.com for some higher quality suspensions

Did a quick search and couldn't find anything on the vesta top quilt. Anyone have experience with them? I know it'll be heavier than a down quilt, but thats not in the funds right now and I car camp...

If I were you, I would just buy a simple 11' gathered end hammock and try it out. Dutchwaregear.com has a bunch of different fabrics to choose from and with suspension its about $70 to get one. This...

2qzq makes under quilt protectors

The arrowhead equipment toxaway tarp should be more than enough coverage with a 12 foot ridgeline and 10 ft wide

No reason not to use them. They'll get the job done. There are lighter, more adjustable suspensions out there for not much more tho

I have 2 so far. I want to try more fabrics but I don't think I can justify that until I get out in the woods more. So far I've only been out hanging 3 times

The double layer will work well with your pad. Most people prefer under quilts due to comfort and the lack of condensation issues that arise from using a pad, but if all you have is the pad for now...

Already casted my vote. It would be awesome to see Fronkey on Survivorman

I would look for other options besides the kammok roo. I just think its an expensive hammock and you can do better for cheaper. Dutch simple gathered end hammocks come to mind and there are a few...

You could also make some very simple gathered end hammocks with a table cloth from tableclothsfactory.com, and some suspension stuff from dutch
