Marmot Pinnacle 15 Long/Left Zip interest you?
$280 shipped.
It's been used on 2 trips, and both trips with a silk liner. Stored uncompressed in a smoke-free home.
Let me know if interested.
I also swapped the adjustable webbing suspension for whoopies from whoopieslings.com; was super easy to do thanks to that very video Shug posted. I haven't had this bad boy in the field yet, but...
Howdy TheGorge,
Yeah man, that's been my experience in general with hiking/backpacking in the southeast during the summer.
It's great though, that we've had so much rain that HOPEFULLY creeks...
Wow aboyd, all the times I've done that trail, I have rarely seen running water in the various creeks along that trail. This has truly been an especially wet year for us in Alabama.

So, I've got some aging twist-lock Leki Makalu (spelling?) hiking poles, i don't much care for them, but i got them years ago on a whim without any research (before I knew better). Anyway, they don't...
Hairbear,
What model, exactly, are your Leki poles?
I have an older pair of Leki "Cor-tec" poles that use the twist lock mechanism (not a big fan of them or the grips) but like the ones you are...
Guys, this RR.... hanging bliss!!
I'm so stoked, I about fell asleep in the humid heat this morning in this thing. Had it hung in my backyard, not an optimal angle, but was still such a better...
Good luck @No Directions
You're gonna have a blast.
unfortunately, chinabee silent is closed till october'ish due to flooding.. that's by far my favorite 8 mile stretch of hike with several spots with plenty of water and good hanging spots.
the non...
wow, those locations are exactly why i want to move to the MST string of states (or at least spend a LONG vacation there).
what were the temps and bug situations like there.. looked like it was a...

@MedicineMan03, did P-Tang have anything specific for his dog to sleep on, etc? Been wanting to get my shepherd into the backpacking scene with me, and am just assessing options for his sleeping...
yup, same here gregord; says it should arrive tomorrow.. boom. unfortunately i only just ordered my superfly on tuesday :(
MM03 any chance you could go into a slight bit more detail on that hanging table? I've never seen that before.
Also, what phone were you using with the slingshot? It looks like by default it's not...
the continued chatter in this thread has me so stoked to get my RR, SF and Lynx. :D
Did you go though with it? Just curious as I have my SF on order and was considering this as an option for my Ridgerunner as well.
hahaha.. fair enough :) im a strange breed. i grew up an alabama fan, my entire family are rabid bama fans, but i went to school at auburn (as far as i know, only tennessee is more of an enemy to...
i might as well chime in.. i just ordered my superfly yesterday as well.. ordered a ridgerunner and lynx to go with it a few days ago.
i suspect a radio or two will be around for football games.. the folks i used to backpack with (none of them had season tickets so that was convenient) would just bring a good enough radio and we'd...
so, i've yet to attend a group hang.. from the videos i've watched of other group hangs it seems like everyone just goes to one spot and just stays there the whole weekend. is that the idea with this...
Get me penciled in as well. Love every opportunity to hike Chinnabee Silent
oh yeah and i ordered a SuperFly to go with the RR/Lynx combo.. a walking WB advertisement in the woods i reckon. If Brandon ever makes a pack and it's all over.
Thanks for the thoughts and responses. I cannot wait to get my RR and Lynx. Excruciating :)
Howdy Spartan; Brandon at WB actually has a video telling what he does for his SF:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UHuUmNOwBAw
Thanks guys, so much for the feedback. I actually just got back from hanging in my backyard in my suspension upgraded SBP (non asym lay) and realized, i NEED the RR :D
I'm going to go ahead and...
So, I have owned a HH Asym, a WBBB 1.7 and an old pre-GT Skeeter Beeter Pro (sold the HH and WBBB).
I'm getting back into backpacking and hammocking and have spent the past week or two refining my...
Hi all, recently got back into backpacking and specifically hammocking. I'm in need of a 20deg TQ and 20deg UQ (prefarably full length, but would do 3/4 depending on the amount of down, etc).

sigh.. too slow today! great pickup you all. enjoy the gear!
waking up a nearly-dead thread :)
the last summer trip i did 2 years ago up at the walls of jericho on the TN/AL border and we were, as expected, inundated by copperheads and ticks.
it was...
Howdy CLANKBANG; had you considered a Ridge Runner at all when trying to make up your mind on a hammock?
*sigh* I'm embarrassed; after I posted this, I went back through the stickies in this very forum and saw Knotty's gathered end hammock how-to. Anyway, I'll just watch some more videos and read before...
.. lengthy intro (sorry, skip down 2 paragraphs to get to the meat of it)
Hi y'all. I have been on backpacking hiatus for the past year and since that point I had sold my main hammock (WBBB). Well,...
