I am referring to the one that takes place at Yankee springs
So my girlfriend and I like to introduce new people to hammock camping and I would like to find the lowest 20° full length UQ out there for new hangers to use, any suggestions?
DIY is a challenge at...
I wanted everyone to know that we will have a group of tree girls that are new to hammock camping so please bring some extra gear that you would not mind loaning out in case they need it, I plan to...
I own a Sparrow with over cover and I can switch ends as I please.
The shelf cannot hang below the face vent or that would place the shelf on your head.
So no it will not block the vent.
I can't believe how many of my customers already know about this, I have had so many people ask me what I think of the new design, I think this one will be a big hit.
Trust me you will love this hammock, I own a dream hammock, I went all out on it and don't regret it at all, I have owned the hammock for a year now and still geeked about it, the folks at DH are...
This is Todd from REI, I plan on going, and don't worry about staying warm, just bring sleeping bags, pads and blankets for now, everyone at a hang will be more than glad to help you out if you ask...
The 4 of us are going, I have not been approved for my time off yet but I don't think it will be a problem
Great idea, have you tested it yet?
I think a water test would be a good idea, I do all my water test with tissues, they show the slightest signs moisture.
Wish I could go, work will not allow the time, but I gotta shoot for next year, this looks like a great trip.
Love my sparrow so its a great choice, I didn't want your post to go 100% unanswered but I have a feeling most folks like my self, will not want to sell their DH, I wish you luck man.
Don't do that to me, we still need to order Holly's hammock, I freaked out at first.
Thanks everyone, we had a great weekend.
Holly said she was warm all night in her hammock and wants to go again next year.
The girls liked everyone.
I gotta special thanks to Tom and Dogger for...
Thanks for the snow report Stone, we will bring our snow shoes and shovels
So far it looks like overnight lows will be 26° for both nights, anyone know how deep the snow is on the camp sites? I forget the name of the guy who lives out there.
I thought I posted here to say we are in but I guess I didn't yet so +2 Holly and I will be there and Holly plans to join us in her hammock so that should be big fun for her.
Be sure to give a that...
That'll do it, thanks
Ok Ok I know this sounds dumb but I lost my stuff sack and don't even remember what I am looking for, could someone please post a picture of the empty stuff sack for me so I know what it looks like,...

This is made just for the RR, and I believe UGQs are the best made.
We own 4 quilts from UGQ, I have tried many quilts at local hangs but the products made by Paul and Missy seem to be better to me, I love every one I own.
Eye mask, worn of course (I like to sleep in total darkness), something to read before I go to sleep, on table, headlamp on ridgeline, Phone on table if I am camping not when I am backpacking,...
This is a good point, I have seen grey and olive green bug nets for travel at my store, and I agree 100%
Welcome man, lots of info here, the best thing about hammocks is you can personalize them to suit your preference and finding that preference is half the fun.
I found the Outdoor products $10 5X7 tarp that is supposed to be very light, I just don't know if its a good suggestion, is it light or even water proof?
edit: I found a review and its too small to...
Who has ideas :confused::confused:
Someone asked me to help him and his son complete the kids hammock setup with a tarp, easy right?
But here's the trick, the kid is determined to buy it all...

This is my sparrow, the top cover is Blaze Orange, the hammock body is Night Grid Camo AKA night desert, hope that helps.

I must admit I tell people all the time I haven't slept in a tent for 5 yrs.
But I work at REI so it comes up a lot, I always tell new backpackers its great way to save money and weight when getting...
I am 5'9" and I got the 11' just for the extra room, I did not get extra width and it seems fine to me but I only have average width shoulders.
Have you ever seen GT bug with floor built in?...
Dream Hammocks all the way, they give the most options and their work is second to none.
My fav so far is a gathered end with bug net unless it counts as a hybrid, both pictures are the same hammock in bugnet or cold weather over cover, Dream Hammocks Sparrow.

Yeah I really wanted you folks to see the grid pattern, I loved it when I first saw it and had to have it.
So glad you like it, thank you so much for the kind words, dream hammock does such a...

Get the Zepplin for sure, I have compared a lot of Tarps and the stuff Paul makes is the best
I thank you both.
Those are very cool
Thank you so much Papa Smurf
Yep! it was waiting at the door when I got home.

I really love the grid camo, the hammock looks great, I will hopefully set it up tomorrow to give...
Thanks man.
Yeah I was very happy with the final look of the finished hammock.
Yeah it feel like xmas.
Well said, and I get the same treatment, I can't seem to put stuff down for the first...
My hammock is done I can't wait to see it on the porch.

I looks great, man do they do good work, now I just gotta control myself till the mail man gets here.;)
Very cool man, I believe mine will be here in a day or two, we gotta post pictures for sure.
I guess I figured the closed hole needed to be attached to the continuous loop for use with the spreader bar to hang two hammocks together.
I may have to find another way to use a spreader bar
First off the title was supposed to read on the sparrow.
Second I do not understand how they would attach on a continuous loop
I love the idea of a blizzard hang.
I ordered a Sparrow with continuous loops and I am hoping it will work with Dutchware spreader bar & Double Hammock Whoopie Hooks.
Do you know if this works?
1) Light weight tarp
2) Helios Suspension
3) Reflective cordage for tarps
4) Dutchware spreader bar & Double Hammock Whoopie Hooks
Well with the shopping craziness starting tomorrow I thought it may be fun for everyone to post what they want Santa to bring them for playing outdoors this year.
I feel the same way, you folks don't have to pull yourselves out of the black because you don't run your business into debt.
We are doing the same thing checkout #Optoutside
I have the day off...
