Thanks all! Just seeing these. Glad to get some feedback from Claytor owners. I am still considering getting one in future in the meantime I ended up deciding to get something that I had got a chance...

PS- I am also considering using the second hammock as a shelf under my primary one if I don't need it for a pad. AND I decided to get a 3rd so that I can have that to use separately as a day lounger...

Hey there! I'm a noob too! :) And I also after asking lots of questions here and getting a chance to meet a couple of members out in the woods to try out their gear.. ended up getting an GT UL! I...

Okay, got it thanks. I was able to try another forum members set up and it was an Grand Trunk Ultra Light with a Big Agnus bag with an inflatable pad in the slot for a pad so when I moved the pad...

Thanks! No problem. :) I found the site but did not find a mummy style inflating pad at the price you quote (found some around 50 or so).. do you know the exact model you got? And it sounds like then...

Hey this looks like a good idea and I searched for the Kelty bags you mentioned but the only ones so far for at all under 100 that I could find was a synthetic version.. you did say you have down and...

Hi! Just seeing this as I am reading through the posts to figure out what I want to get for my own insulation as a newbie.. I have not heard of 'Academ' could you explain further (is it abbreviated?)...

Checked the links. Thanks! :D

Thanks BillyBob for all the info and PHOTOS! :D

Appreciate the sharing.. have finally decided on my first noobie set up though.. going with a couple of Grand Trunk Ultralights (which I will double...

Aha! I was right! Well I tried calling Bargain Outfitters (link given on this forum for the 20 dollar deal) and they said that it was discontinued! :(

One of the other places I checked was a...

Did you guys buy these all up or something? Can't find them anywhere. :( Seem to be all out of stock...
And am in need of a good cheap tarp soon!!! (need it to be large- prepared for possibly a...

Hi thanks! Where did you find the Guide Gear tarp? I checked a few sites and seems like everyone is sold out. :(

Also where do you get your CCF pad from??

Thank you!!!;)

I just got to try one out this weekend (thanks to Rook!) and found it actually pretty comfortable. I wanted to ask how you added a bug net? (oh and a zipper, guess you sewed it together yourself??).....

That sounds good! If you do let me know.. :)

Hi Miguel. Thank you! Hopefully I won't need an underquilt for this trip but wanted to know about where people go them in case I need it for cooler weather uses for other times. Temps should not drop...

Thanks Jollyllama!!! See ya soon!

Thanks Keikepono!

Thanks for that! Very helpful.. do you know where I could get a cheap synthetic underquilt from? Also, sorry but what is a 'rip stop' and where do you get it... assuming it is a fabric similar to...

Oh well looks like I missed it. But thank you Pizza for your informative helpful responses!! :D

Thanks for that! Any suggestions as to brands of tarps (esp. if they don't come with the hammock I get and even then I would want to do an upgrade to a larger one if I can)? Esp. in terms of...

Thanks ChrisH! I'm not sure if I could do full nights on my back. I have had naps in hammocks on my back (but not proper camping ones, just regular, so I know there is a lot more sag in those...

Thanks Pizza and Shane!

That is helpful... I do want the double bottom for both insulation (you can insert a pad in there like on the WBB right?) and for bugs as I will be in the jungle..
...

Hmmm, thanks for the response. I do like the whole weathershield bit but not sure about going for the North American because of my budget.. best I could do would probably be the Tropical.. do the...

Hmmm.. you are all making me more and more interested.. I may want to buy this off you Pizza esp. seeing that for some reason all of the Switchbacks seem to be out of stock on their site..

I am...

Thanks! I took a look at that.. so I take it that you recommend I got with a Switchback for my needs?

Okay so I am buying my first hammock and was asking questions on other parts of this forum about my needs (I am tall but thin/light weight, sleep on my side mostly, and need good bug nets and...

Is this one of the double layered ones?

Thank you! That is very helpful. I think I may be leaning in that direction right now.. Appreciate the feedback. ;)

Thanks Mike. Someone else mentioned the Switchback but I saw they were out of stock on their site and also someone else said that the Claytor is the same design as the Switchback.. any thought on...

Hey WV.. I checked out the 'hang' you mentioned but it is happening during my trip.

That would be awesome Jollyllama, thank you so much! When is good for you?

Thanks all! Just seeing all the posts on this page as I had not noticed the little '2' for the second page of posts and did not think there had been more comments.. so thanks! :lol: More to think on...

Thanks Gunner.. It should be even easier for me to side sleep then if I am a light weight right? Also any thoughts on the best tarp (or cheaper tarp options?)

Thanks!

Thanks Mule. But looks like the bridge for sale got sold. but thanks for looking it up! And thanks for info on the bug net.. Thing about the bridge is that is looks like you can't really sit up in it...

Hello all you Claytor fans! I am new to hammocks and this forum. I posted yesterday under the general hammock talk and was directed to this area so am going to post under a couple different forums...

Thanks Mule. I was hearing about the bridge hammocks too but so far just saw the JacksRBetter and did not look like they had a bug net (very much needed) and also were out of stock.. any tips as to...

PS- just found where they post 'hangs'.. :D

Hey I am a newbie in Maryland trying to figure out which hammock to buy before a trip down to Costa Rica at the end of the month.. someone suggested going to a 'hang' to check out people's gear.. so...

Thanks everyone! Such a great forum, so many quick responses! I did start looking at the section that one of you mentioned and will do as much research there as I can and maybe post my question there...

Hello all you tree swinging hammock lovers out there.. I need/want to buy a hammock system and need advice. I will be camping in southern Costa Rican rainforest at about 1000 ft. elevation so temps...
