Hello from Williamsville !

I was meaning Letchworth in this case. I hiked the Letchworth Trail last summer. I'm not familiar with other trails in the park, but would like to see some. I wouldn't mind going down Friday night...

It appears my weekend just opened up. I'd be up for stealth camping.

I'm going down Friday night after work. Probably be getting to the park around 8:30-9:00 and coming back out Sunday afternoon.

Is there any consensus on a meeting place and how much hiking we feel...

I'd like to come along.

Here are two options for just under $100.

I have an 30* EE RevX TQ and use it with a HG 20* 3/4 UQ. I have used this combination comfortably down to 30 degrees. . .frost was on the ground when I woke up and I was warm in the hammock. As an...

Hello & Welcome !!

Hello & welcome !!

You are just in time for the Black Friday deals.

At the northern lean to? That was my group. I was catching some quality time in the hammock and missed you. It was a great weekend for a hike. I hope you and your daughter enjoyed yourselves.

I'm booked this weekend going south to north. . .i was wondering if the views were better in one direction or the other and if there were other considerations.

Anyone have thoughts on North to South vs. South to North?

I like to put the quilts inside of the trash compactor bags without using the stuff sacks. Not necessarily for the weight savings, but it does a better job conforming to the shape of the pack, and...

I started over, tried it under and eventually settled on separate tie-outs at each end. It seems both quickest and easiest. Even with being fussy trying to get it centered and level, I'm spending the...

Welcome, from Western New York.

Hello from Williamsville !!

As to keeping warm, Hammock Gear's underquilt has done a great job for me. They are a well regarded manufacturer with great products and service.

For a lightweight adjustable suspension, you could...

Look for a sale.

I have an Edge Tarp, and love it. I considered the Warbonnet's Edge, Wilderness Logic's Tadpole, and an OES. . .they all seemed very comparable to each other and it was very difficult to find a...

Hello Neighbor !!

There are allot of hammock to choose from, and its very likely that you will eventually buy more than one. . .one for the backyard, one for the kids, one for a friend (you can...

Thank you for the offers through private messages, and a hammock is on the way.

Thank you. . .mods / admins may close this thread at their convenience.

I have two kids, both interested in hammock camping. I'm thinking the Cub would be the perfect introduction for them.

If anyone has a Cub leftover from a Holliday order that they are not using...

Hello from Buffalo !

Looks like a nice Spring hike. Schedule permitting, I'd like to join you.

I was worried about the stakes poking a hole in my gear too. I've been clipping them onto the back of my pack with a carabiner and then securing the loose ends with some shock cord to keep them from...

I'd like to add my endorsment to this great idea. . .in exchange, of course, for being included in the invitation.

Hello from Buffalo !

There are a pair of trails a little over an hour south of Buffalo in Chautauqua County that are nice for overnight in-and-out hikes: The Eastside Overland Trail and Westside Overland Trail. The state...

Why is the Darien UL no longer available? Too fragile?

Welcome from Buffalo !!

All three companies are very well regarded and a negative review or comment would be hard to find for any of them. I have a EE 30* RevX TQ and a HG 20* Phoenix UQ. Both are excellent and i would...

I had a similar problem with the irritation of the shockcord on my forehead when using the Phoenix with my Warbonnet. I tried using just the secondary suspension (not using the continuous suspension)...

Welcome from Buffalo !!

Although Tim did stop making the Revelation X series of top quilts, you can get a similar discount by selecting the 750 duck down in place of the 850 goose down.

Thank you, and a merry Christmas to you.

Adding to The Yellow Dart's DIY suggestion is using a poncho liner as an underquilt. . .

Besides the obvious need for a bug net, Insulation is going to be a concern. . .and the double layer hammocks are a good choice for slipping a pad into and also give you an extra layer of protection...

Yes, definitely after the holidays (and after your new quilts arrive).

Yeah, I would like do do a winter trip this year. I'm not prepared for 0* weather, but I could go as low as 20-25* without concern. Know of anyplace good for a winter trip?

This is great !!

Sincerely, thank you.

Oh yeah, people have been posting posting deals on this thread:

Do you need an underquilt?

If you are asking me as someone just getting into hammock hanging, no you don't need one. . .but if you go camping often, you will probably want to get one. I did my...
