I have hammocked on two BWCA trips, with a couple of different setups. I think the 1.6 Chameleon is a good choice. Bugnets are mandatory in the BWCA. I have used both types of suspension, and...

I think threads generally stay around in case anyone else could use the information.

Here is a great source for learning knots. https://www.animatedknots.com/
Looks great. I'm sure you will love it. I hope this means the retail one from Dutch is coming soon. I have been wanting to set up the double Chameleon with my wife. Kitsapcowboy had agreed to make...
Here you go. Notice that Hocking Hills is actually several trails, not really connected to each other. You generally drive to one, hike it, drive to another, etc...

I use the Tarp Flyz, but do it exactly like Shug uses the Wasp. I think the advantage of using Flyz or Wasp instead of Stingerz is the adjustability. Most of the time, I keep the Flyz (Fly?) close...
The other good day to ski is Super Bowl Sunday.
Just bumping this old thread to see if there were any updates. Has anyone heard from him?
Underquilt protector. They help cut wind and keep splash off the underside of your quilt.

I have both, and have to say I prefer the Phoenix, mostly for the suspension. Unless they have changed it since I bought mine (it has been a while), the Jarbidge has attachment at four corners, with...
Good advice, thanks. I will look into it
Yes I did. He was very responsive to my questions by email and seemed like he did great work for hammock forums folks, so I paid up front with paypal. It is a lot of money for me, so I hope he...
Good tips, thanks!
Hey KY, thanks for the info. In terms of getting cars broken into, do you have any suggestions as to any of the safer trailheads? I know there are no guarantees, but didn't know if there were...
I thought I would bump this thread to see if anyone else had heard anything. He graciously offered to make me a tarp in July. We traded several good emails about details. The most recent email I...
Paul at Arrowhead has a little rollup bag designed for suspensions and stakes. https://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/store/p624/Gear_Roll_Up.html
Thanks for the review. Looks interesting. Still not quite seeing how the tarp would work with it. I assume it just sits right on the hammock ridgeline? I know some hammock stands have worked on...
I have a SLD Streamliner, 10 ft that I could part with. I had Jared make it with charcoal gray 1.6 Argon that I had shipped from Dutch. According to Dutch's website, Argon 1.6 is good to 275 lbs. ...
I used the Dutch reflective shock cord and the Dutch mini cord locks. Perfect pairing.
I don't know how long the cord I use is, but I made it adjustable, so it doesn't really matter. I start by taking a length of shock cord and tying a bowline on one end. Then larks head the loop end...
I think the BBB is both crooked and scrambling to stay relevant. They are going the way of the yellow pages and they know it. Google reviews are much more relevant to modern commerce. (Although...
Just left mine. 5 stars all the way.
Here you go... https://theultimatehang.com/2013/10/29/make-hammock-3-minutes/
You will want a more tree friendly and less-stretchy suspension than paracord. Probably the easiest is a set of...
Thanks for the tip about setup. I will make sure to play around setting it up a bunch before I take it on a trip. As far as route, I have always gone Ely side. I think we will get boats from...
Sounds like a great trip. I have been a couple times by myself, and am planning on my first family trip next year. Just got the notice that my Dutch spreader bar is out for delivery today. Seems...
Has anyone heard rumor of any new tarp offerings from Dutchware? I am strongly considering picking up the double dutch bugnet for my wife and myself. It would be very cool if there were a tarp...
I agree with this, but for both the inside and outside of the UQ. I like to know where the hammock stops and the quilt starts. Makes it easier to grab the right part when sitting down.
Wow. Great job. I love this thread.
The colors of a hammock always get covered up by quilts. Might make an even better tarp color.
That is a simple, but kind of brilliant way to get two uses out of a stuff sack. The ridgeline organizer looks super easy to use. Well done.
I just got an image in my mind of Wile E. Coyote running into the fake tunnel painted on the wall.
I will take it - Lot Two: Snow Peak 450ml UL kit
Exactly this. Here is a link to the kind I have. I think I carry one 2-footer, but if you really have big trees, you can always go for 3-4 feet. Weight is minimal for what you get. When I don't...
Great job, as always.
That might be right. Definitely the beach area is sandy. You can't camp right by the beach part of the lake now, but maybe you could 25 yrs ago. The creek there isn't exactly fast moving, but I...
For those that use the HG pillow, does the placement of the shock cord bug you? It is right in the middle. I tend to use the pillow more as a neck support, so my head hangs over the top of the...
This is pretty cool. I would bet there would be a market for a slightly smaller size. Somewhere between this sidecar and the current side pocket he sells.
I have never been certain what the "default" length of hammock suspensions by the major cottage quilt makers is. I have poked around on several posts that have kind of answered it, but never gotten...
Did you have someone else who knows hammocks look at it for you while you were in it? Even with a camera set up, I think it is easier to look for gaps from outside when someone else is in it. My...
You might already know this, but an easy way to experiment with shortening a ridgeline is to clip a carabiner to the ridgeline and loop the line around and around it several times. This will...
I agree. I took a tube of silicone and added a few drops randomly along one side of the reflectix. The side with the drops becomes the bottom and really help keep the pad where you put it.
I will take the Dutchware Chameleon. thanks.
I agree. This is how I do it.
I submitted Roly-poly earlier, but how about the Dutch Door? Top half swings open.
155791
Also 16.5 feet, which traditionally is one canoe length.
How about the Roly Poly? Keeping the bug theme of your suspensions, playing on the roll back net.
I just took a trip with about 3 hours of the strongest winds I have encountered. I sat in my hammock, chair-style the whole time, holding my hands up against the tarp wall, trying to keep the...
