Your wife must know my wife because its the same thing.
But back to solo... I have gone on a group backpack once. Every other time it is solo. At first, my wife didn't want anything to do with...
I'm a side sleeper so I generally don't touch the side of the hammock. But I think if you are NOT extra wide shouldered you may be ok.
So I finally got to use the pad in the hammock and it worked just as well as the larger dlx.
good deal.
I already had the Exped Synamt 7 dlx and agree with teh comfort. I went ahead and got the UL as well. Havent used it in the hammock but have played with it on the floor and I like it so far,...
I consider my tent rainfly a tarp for the tent :lol:
The only thing that changes in my setup between my hammock and my tent is the hammock and the tent. Same sleeping bag, same exped pad. And I dont carry a ground cloth with the hammock.
Got it in the mail today SamD. Thanks again. This is a nice hefty knife, did you make it?
Rope is in hand... thanks for all that made this happen.
I just got home and opened the mailbox to find a priority mail box waiting for me :D:D
Opened it up expecting to see some amsteel.... NOPE:confused:
It was some warhammer 40K models my son had...
Bumping per request
My next PIF is a travel battery charger that plugs into the wall (meaning it has no cord) and can charge AA or AAA batteries four at a time. also included is a 2008 AT thru hikers companion. I...
Done, Sir!!
I'm just settling in to bed for the night so will post a PIF tomorrow.
I'll grab that from you Sam. Thanks
sounds like a plan in the works!!
I think I will stand a respectable distance away from you when you try that one :D Ive gotten close to the border there before and the shadows definitely made their presence known.
do you have the drip rings tied in so they can't move? Mine can slide up and down the ropes (not easily of course) and I have used that to adjust my hang at times.
which campground are you thinking of? They do have a couple of backwoods shelters but when I tried to get a ranger to answer the question of if you could hang near the shelter, all I got was that I...
Welcome to HF Rook.. Looks like us Maryland hangers are starting to grow in numbers.
I have the Clark North American and still use the stock ropes. I use a carabiner on the clark tree straps and just run the rope through the biner, then back to the drip ring, pull it through the...
I want to see the picture of the truck full of the postage boxs.
I'm primarily a side sleeper. With my exped mat in the clark, it super comfortable to sleep on my side. The pad lets me sleep almost flat.
...
How about a spreadsheet like was done with the group buy?
I string mine tight and use the drip rings as the loop in a truckers hitch, I can get it pretty tight.
Protect yourself and your park
When you backcountry camp in Shenandoah National Park you may feel that you are the only person to have ever traveled here. Opportunities for solitude abound....
Agree with Deucalion. You can hang pretty much anywhere as long as you stay away from the areas he stated.
Thinking about getting one. Anybodybhave experience with it yet?
You can go north a bit and hit up Caledonia State Park, Pine Grove Furnace State Park, all part of the Micheaux state forest. Head a bit further out west and hit Green Ridge State Park.
Look at ...
Any Hammock can be four season with the proper insulation. I have had my NA down to 20 on the deck, 30 on the trail. I use an exped mat for bottom insulation.
I also own a Hennesy and I just...
Welcome to the fun. I'm heading out this weekend with my son up to Micheaux this weekend.
I was going to use mason line so I strung up some over about 15 foot.. put a prussic on it and pulled... stretch was unbelievable. I quickly abandoned the idea.
The Clark NA and NX are max load rated at 700 pounds. Plenty of margin for error there.
Same here, mine is on its way.
Once everybody gets thier amsteel from the group buy, I'm guessing there will be more whoopies in here than you can shake a Big Papi at:)
Thanks Lonewolf, looking forward to it.
Sorry for the delay. The tarp was priority mailed out yesterday.
I'm not knocking quilts cuz I've never tried one but I can tell you that a bag can be comfy too, you just need to find the right one. 5'9" 270 pounds and I'm comfy in my Helium Long bag from Marmot...
Or hold the end of the line and wheel handle and start walking. Just let the line unspool.
Its yours, pm me your address please. Crazycreek.com says "packed weight" is 28 oz. But I weighed it with stakes, lines, and figure nines and it was 28 oz.. so it will be less than that.
So as to keep this going, the next PIF is a crazy creek tarp. I have hung it up once but it has never been out in the weather. Comes with the oversized sack I got it in (sack has space for a...
I would love to have that.
"Saw it right off!"
I havent tried an underquilt yet but I have been very happy with my exped mat. It is very comfortable for me and the large size of it helps spread the hammock sides out so I dont need any extenders...
Welcome to the forums, lots of nice, helpful folk in these here parts.
Can you post some pics of your setup please? I want to replace my clark suspension after I get my amsteel in and would like to see some pics from other clark owners who have done this. Thanks.
Thanks, that helps me understand a bit better. I'm sure I will get and try an underquilt at some point but for now, I like my exped.
Just curious because most of the folks that I have read about that use the Exped Mats, do not, or have not tried quilts.
Can you do some kind of comparison of the two?? When you use one over the...
Amazing how many things there are out there that we don't need, yet still want so bad and convince ourselves that we do need.... I'm with you.. I NEED one of these too.
Group bye?? Probably not...
He must not have watched Shug's video yet... one view and you want to strap on some snowshoes and pluck icicles out of your nose hairs!!
