    Small radius solution?

    Couldn't you move this back to a more simple setup (no tee, straight toggle) simply by reversing the ends? Larkshead the amsteel to the hammock, put the toggle on the top end going through the tree...

    That was on my setup, and it is from Warbonnet. Picked it up on the drive to the campground and very glad I did - with the wind gusting it really helped hold in the heat.



    DOH! Knew I would...

    The pads are actually to supplement a 20 deg 3/4 UQ, I have 5/8" total in thickness of CCF. Plus put together a...
  5. webcam

    There is a weather camera about 8 miles SW and 500' lower elevation of the campground. All very windblown plains by the looks of it but will give some idea of snow. Hopefully all the snow from the...

    Thanks to both Rhino and O&B for the offers, that takes some worry off of my mind. The 3-season yeti is what I have on order, wasn't honestly planning on doing any winter hanging until the next...
  7. Pads only?

    Has anyone ever used just pads in these temperatures? I just got the bad news that my UQ won't be shipping until next week at the earliest (WB still haven't received their down). I have a 1/2" and...

    I might have to run back up there Wednesday and see the snow, grab some more pics. Sitting at work anticipating the hang is driving me stir crazy. I really want to be in a hammock instead of at work,...

    The delay I think is mainly down to "down" items. I ordered a WBBB and MJ tarp just before Christmas, showed up pretty fast (think I beat some of the rush). When I saw the quality went back and...

    I think I'd be interested, headed to my first winter hang this weekend and am worried that my 24" W x 74" L pad is going to leave me with cold shoulders. Actually the 39" W pad from Gossamer Gear...

    It was a quick drive-through of the campground so I only snapped one photo. This is the middle of the loop at the campground and was the most bare as it seemed to have the most sun exposure. This was...

    Actually just one row deep, think they are about 16" long or so.

    I ran up to Kenosha Pass today as well snow is melting off pretty quickly and any passenger car should have zero problem getting...

    Picked up the wood today, about half mixed hardwood ($3.50/cf) and the other half pinon ($4/cf). It was cheaper than I thought, only $43 and change for what is pictured below. It has been a long time...

    Bad idea

    So up late and can't sleep, pretty much reading every thread. After this one not only still can't sleep but now I have small man's syndrome being only 5'11". :(

    At least I can take solace thinking...

    Ok so I thought the top seam might have possibly leaked a little, but when you said the hammock split I'm thinking why did the fool wear his crampons in the hammock? I don't think it is so bad to say...

    AHE Glow Pulls

    I'm going to try these little gems to do the same thing, arriving tomorrow from AHE! They glow in the dark, are reflective, and look uber light for the gram counters out there. It is hard to tell...

    I am amazed at how great and friendly customer service has been with all the hammock people I've bought things from - it is far FAR better than anything else I can think of. And while patience is not...

    I'll pick up some wood this week and try to post a pic this weekend of how much I can get for around $50, was thinking mixed hardwood and/or pinon. Will try to avoid popping and sparking pine with...

    I have a couple pieces of wood in my yard from a tree that was cut down this summer I haven't used yet. I can also pickup about an 1/8 of a cord on my way out of town from http://www.rmfirewood.com...

  22. Change in materials

    I really like the idea of this stand and think I've come up with a method to build it for under $60 by changing up the materials a bit, should also be lighter. I still need to do a little...
