Many premium camping hammocks are constructed with three panels, a broad central panel and two narrow panels on each side. I assume this was done to cut manufacturing costs or because wider fabric...

I recently purchased a hammock from Dream Hammock and elected to have UQ hooks option installed. I can't tell that running the UQ support cords through these hooks did anything to improve the contact...
I've been using the Nube' and accompanying Pares hammock regularly now for two years. The integrated system is genius. I haven't found the downsides as yet. The bugnetting in this system actually...
My question above was posed to your post on page 1. ( I entered the question on wrong spot )
Don't keep us in suspense. How can we try to duplicate your modifications to the hammock that makes it comfortable without adding the additional padding?
How many use under-knee padding in the hammock? If some kind of padding is used, what is used for the padding, pillow, stuffsack with your jacket rolled up, DIY bolster? I seem to need something to...
My hammock shelter is the SMR Nube', which has a 200 lb capacity under-hammock. Makes it possible to access anything in the pack or water/pee bottles while having all the contents protected by the...
I have been using a "tent-hammock" now for over a year. After many nights out, through many rain storms, and use through all four seasons, I couldn't imagine any other solution for hammock camping....
Started out with Prussic knot loops and they worked out OK. But because you have to tie a boland within the Prussic loop to slide the knot for tentioning, I discovered a somewhat quicker solution in...
If you can avoid wearing socks during your hang, you may find there is less heel pressure. Also, I am using a cut-down mesh laundry bag filled with Polyfill ( 28 in x 10in ) and 3in thick to insure...
Helinox chair. Can't imagine backpacking without, sitting with back supported while doing camp chores, gear repairs, boiling the water for coffee or rehydration or just a bit of respite while hiking...
The Sierra Madre Research Nube hammock shelter would solve all of your probs. The no-seeum netting keeps out blowing snow, the tarp aspect is aerodynamically designed to withstand high winds, and the...
While the overcover prevents a lot of the convective heat loss for the hammock occupant and the over quilt or sleeping bag, it does not help the many of us who use an underquilt, where wind can...
So how is the WBBB foot box actually constructed? Is there an actual extra panel, is it extra netting, or an overall trapezoidal cut that forms the "box"? Also does the "box" mostly eliminate the...
Assuming that you've pitched a tarp, bring along a 42 gal contractor trash bag and load the pack inside. Leave it under the hammock. Your boots, tied together, could be suspended from hammock...
Please remember that especially with under quilts substantial wind can seriously degrade your insulation. So wind protection adds significantly to protection from low temps both with over and under...
Last year was my first season hammock camping and on the whole, it went well. My goal for this fall is to be a bit more winterized (say comfortable down to the high 20's) and not have to sweat the...
I have had the same problem with an 11ft Sierra Madre Research nylon hammock, and it's persisted for mo's now. But two days ago started laying in a new Therm-A-Rest Slacker Double [poly hammock] and...
Similar build and height. My solution for knee hyperextention and pressure on the heels and ankles is a homemade bolster made from a mesh laundry bag sewn into a cylinder 30 in diameter and 30 in...
Since there is no explanation of the primary suspension or the secondary suspension in the letter enclosed with the shipped UQ the above suggestion to include your description in the shipment truly...
I received my under quilt about a month ago. At first, I was not sure how the suspension worked. After a couple of times fooling around with it, I realized that I could adjust the up-and-down of the...
For us guys, a 22 oz bike water bottle with its water tight cap can work really well. If there is no convenient pockets to hold this container it's easy to attach a leash to haul it up or if you have...
