You guys are the best! Thanks!
Hi everyone... I know that this is a topic that has been hashed over many times. However, I thought that I would find what the latest consensus was regarding the subject. Experiences often change...
I use a .70 cents light that my son bought for me from the school Christmas store when he was in 2nd grade. When he gave it to me he was so proud that he spent so little. It was hysterical. It's...
I was hiking with a group of friends on the AT in New Hampshire and we stopped at a site that was known to be frequented by bears. They had bigger and more robust storage containers for our food...

Beautiful weather! No under quilt or tarp needed - just slipped a Thermarest pad in between my Warbonnet Blackbird's bottom layers. The...

Somehow I missed the post from Shug where he slung the Draumr in high winds and rain. This really looks pretty neat!
I've been using the MSR Groundhogs as well to great effect. I have yet to have my stakes pull out. To be fait though, if the wind is really going to kick up you would be wise to tie off to a tree...
I've been using the CRL with a fly and hook anchor arrangement with prussic tarp adjustments. I'm looking to get away from the CRL and going to a line on each side so... It may seem silly but could...
Wow! I'm really looking forward to this! Thanks for the link! I think I'll be ordering the Linville Gorge Hikers Guide pretty soon! I'm pretty good with a map and compass so I'm good there. I'm...
A few buddies and I are planning a week long trip into the Linville Gorge in March 2015. Never been before.
Any Gorge Rats here who can throw in some advice...?
I have an MSR Miniworks. Great piece of gear. Reliable and lightweight with good rate of output. I never go backpacking without mine.

$115 is as low as this is going. :)
*Bump*
$115 :)
I've decided to sell the Wet Rib separately. ***SOLD***
I still have the Z55. I'm asking $115
Ok... Price drop! $130
You just have to promise you'll use this pack!
After what I've weathered in my Superfly... I'd advise you to just save up your pesos and buy one. It's a great design plus you'd be supporting a great company.
Hi Musselman1234;
Not sure... The buckles accommodate 1" webbing straps according to my measurements. This is how I have mine mounted:

Attached to LEFT shoulder strap:

Back

Hi WRR... I'd be more comfortable selling the two items together. I like the idea of providing the water bottle option with the pack. Jump on over to the Mystery ranch website. Wet Ribs are only...
Size: LARGE
Color: Gold and grey.
Condition: Like New / VERY lightly used.
Comes with a Mystery Ranch Wet Rib (Sage Green)

I took it out on a couple of brief "backpacking...
We want to do real backpacking rather than and out of doors pub crawl. Hmm... Which trail....
Hand sanitizer for your poop kit.
My best friend and I get together every year with some other guys for an extended backpacking trip. One guy brought up the idea of hiking Hadrian's Wall in England!
It seems like an awfully cool...
I have a MacCat Deluxe for most days and a Warbonnet Superfly for Cooold and rainy days. Both are great. The MacCat Deluxe will honestly do you just fine for the vast majority of what you will...
Yet another reason I'm glad I bought a Blackbird. Not only a great hammock, but a classy business.
So can we order these new buckles from you to replace the older version?
Well played sir... Well played! I enjoyed a much-needed good laugh.
I have to say that I had a great experience ordering from Brandon. He answered all my emails promptly and I received my shipments in something like a week. And to top it all off, the hammocks,...
Man... THAT would be a blast! If my work schedule and my wife allows it, I'm there! It's be nice to actually match faces and names to forum handles.
Get the double. If you don't like it, I guarantee you can sell it for what you paid for it and then buy yourself a single.
I've had both HH and WBBB. I got the HH first and then migrated to the blackbird (heh).
I have to say that both are darned fine hammocks but I just like my WBBB better. It's softer, has a more...
Heh... The first time I hung my WBBB and Superfly on a camping trip, the sun was going down, the wind was howling, and the rain was coming down in sheets.
You're right. It makes a huge...
Huh... I've had a HH that's lasted me almost 9 years. It was top quality construction and I have no regrets buying it.
That being said, I switched over to the WBBB and am very happy I did. I...
I like Shug's diagnosis. :)
I haven't read through the entire thread... But as an oncology RN I'll throw this out to you. Getting your prostate checked is the smart thing to do. If your PSA levels are up, then it may be time...
Congrats Brian! Well done!
Absolutely!:shades:
I've got a couple of Flyz too! Awesome! Lightweight and don't snag material. Doesn't get any better.:cool:
I must say... Those Clarks look pretty darned nice! I just might have to try one one of these days!
I have an HH Safari Deluxe and a WBBB. Both are great hammocks. I have to say though that I really do like the WBBB better. It just feels better to me. Can;t really put my finger on it.
HH...
If you're considering doors on your tarp, I would personally go with the Superfly. I used mine (silnylon) in some really really nasty weather this April in the mountains of CT and NY.
It was...
I was reading some past posts and started thinking... If I was running dedicated CRLs for each tarp, would I need an S-biner to connect my prussics to my tarp? What if I just eliminated that extra...
I still haven't decided though whether the CRL is better above or below the tarp. Any thoughts?
I guess I don't really have anything significant to add, but I'll throw in my .02:D
My latest foray into the piney woods found me in conditions that were less than hospitable - Heavy rains, temps...
+1 to what Bird said.
Get some SilNet and seal those pullouts. I sealed inboard and outboard and stayed bone dry.:shades:
Just had mine out in the mountains in CT and NY. It poured rain. And it was so windy that I swear it was raining sideways for a long while. It was blowing so hard that I was concerned that I was...
Ah... Cool. Thanks!
Actually I WAS using snake skins. And I was using yellow dyneema line. What seemed to tangle things up (as I remember) was the shock cording I used for closing the flaps/doors. I'm keeping them...
