I've done this, so you don't have to! I broke the rubber band AND the cord creating the gathered end while trying to use it with my new Hammock Gear hammock. Didn't damage the UQ beyond that, though!

I've done this, so you don't have to! I broke the rubber band AND the cord creating the gathered end while trying to use it with my new Hammock Gear hammock. Didn't damage the UQ beyond that, though!
This post has hurt my feelings. I didn't read it before I tried to use my Wooki with my new Hammock Gear hammock and, like you said, I busted the elastic band! Now I've got to figure out how to...
Hi, all.
I just bought a Hammock Gear Bug Net hammock. I also have a WBBB XLC with a Wooki UQ.
Anyone have suggestions for attaching the Wooki to the hammock? My Blackbird has fat gathered...
:scared: Years ago, my cousin, a poet, had me store years of her writings in my basement storage locker. And my landlord's cleaning crew threw them all away--despite them clearly being marked as mine...
Oh, no! You're someone's eBay fantasy! And I'm sorry about that! :lol:
Finally! Someone that understands! Thank you! Glad yours turned up, too!
And you're right, I'd spent countless hours agonizing over choices and over spending the money, often waiting months before...
Just needed to tell some folks that would understand.
Spent the last 24 hours thinking that I'd accidentally tossed out my WBBB, Wooki UQ, Jarbridge UQ, Superfly tarp, AND homemade Costco top...
I love my Superfly, too. And you can really batten down the hatches on that sucker. Pitched low, it's a tent.
I'm game. I'm going to likely get a Wooki for Christmas and I am sure that will allow me to camp comfortably one night a month even in Illinois winter.
I'm really looking forward to getting one. Probably for Christmas. This will extend my backpacking season since the only thing worse than futzing with an underquilt at 60 degrees is futzing with one...
Yeah, I almost certainly going to get a Wooki. It's spendy, but not fussing with my UQ would be worth it.
I was never uncomfortable when it was under me. I was out in high-40's at night. it's just that between my height, my tendency to flop around, and my asymmetrical hammock, there were times when it...
Thanks, everyone. I'll take a look at the threads, but it looks like I need to save up for a Wooki!
This weekend, I had a great trip: four days hiking the entire 40 mile Maryland section of the Appalachian Trail. And I was dialed in, baby. After years of overpacking heavy packs and bad gear, my...
Thanks, guys. Really helpful. Your trips sound great! Thought I might have to bring my pad in case i was sleeping on the ground. And I'll make sure to bring some change!
Has anyone hiked the Maryland section of the AT? Because, next month, a group of us are hiking it. The trip is in honor of Harriet Tubman, a Maryland native that led escaping slaves north through the...
I love the video! Thanks for that! I have a WBBB XLC and I have been trying to figure ot just that thing!
I finally made a poncho liner underquilt a couple of months ago after I missed a Jarbridge sale by about 4 hours! I still ordered one last night. Decidede that $75 plus shipping was worth getting the...
Looking for a Superfly Tarp.
That's what I'm using--mason line. I couldn't believe how tangled it was. it was a gordian knot! And I didn't even have a knife to cut it with! I laughed out loud!
See, normally I would have always thrown in a small kit I carry with me. Always. But this time, when I needed it, I didn't So no lighter to burn them, no time swiss army knife, no nothing. And yes,...
Hey, I like those! Gonna try figure 8s and if they give me a lick of trouble...!
Good to hear, Tru! Was hoping to do an overnight tonight but tons of rain so I bagged it.
Going to try the figure 8.
Thanks, Moose! Me, too!
Not used to dealing with tarp lines, really, because I'm coming from a Chrysalis and never used one. Funny thing is, I hesitated on the PLUQ because I dreaded dealing with...
Was going to do an overnight with my new WBBB XLC. I also made a poncho liner underquilt last night that I wanted to try out. But the forecast called for rain so I decided to just try to stretch out...
Yukon tarp is 19.99 today through Woot! Amazon!...
[I misunderstood! Double-sized, like an Eno Double, for two people. Not a double-layer. Sorry about that]
Not sure about suspensions, if any. Anyone know?
...
I took the pack out this weekend when I tried out the Blackbird. Think it's going to work great now that I've lightened my load a bit! Had a little trouble getting my little boy out of it! 108901
Thanks for the vids, Shug! Brandon does make it look easy. Been vowing to go to whoopies, but seriously considering switching the stock buckles out for my ring buckles that are dead easy to adjust....
Bought a used WBBB XLC last week to replace my Chrysalis. bridge. Took my boy with me for a quick shakedown. Had a hard time getting him out of it! I told him that he was inheriting my GT Ultralight,...
Army--Airborne, Air Assault 87-89.
Mine came in the mail yesterday! I dare not open it, I'll be trying to hang it somewhere in my apartment! WBBB XL 1.7 DL.
Got mine yesterday! Will set it up this weekend, hopefully for an overnighter. I have a poncho liner on its way. Hoping that it works as either a top or bottom quilt. I'm a warm sleeper and I'm only...

I found a WBBB XLC DL 1.7 for sale. Should be here by Tuesday. I am thrilled. You convinced me, RisingEagle!
Found one! Should be here by Tuesday! Mods, we can close this thread.
I'm a hiker. But I'd love to attend the next one. I'm in Chicago, but I've hiked the canal near Channahon a couple of times. My new (to me) WBBB XLC should be here next week! How do I find out about...
After a couple of weeks of serious research, I am finally ready to pull the trigger on a WBBB XLC DL 1.7. Would love it to have whoopie slings but we can work that out.
Thanks, I bought an REI Flash 45. Moderators, should I delete this thread? It can be closed.
That's all good news. The large REI Flash 45 holds 50 liters. It's on its way. Really probably going to pull trigger on WBBB xlc. Then Superfly tarp. Then UQ. Figuring this all out has been a...
I'm coming from a bridge hammock, so yes, shoulder squeeze is a fear of mine. Most of what I've read suggests it shouldn't be a problem in the WBBB xlc, at least. I'm not some freakish 6'1" 260 pound...
Ginixia, you make very good points. If I can buy a good hammock, especially one with a pad insert, I can use my old pad for the summer. And I probably will stick to synthetic quilts first....
RisingEagle, you and I do have a lot in common on this. My eventual setup was to be WBBB xlc with superfly. I have already ordered an REI Flash 45. Weighs 2.5 pounds. And your post makes me feel...
Mychal, canyou tell us a little bith more about the QuikHang suspension? I have a nagging suspicion that I am going to be happier with a full-length UQ even though I've been really thinking...
I am torn between the Jarbridge and the Shamu--if for no other reasons than that the Shamu is both lighter while STILL being full-length. Most of the reviews are good, and I like the idea of covering...
I'm following this thread. Looking to do the same thing with exactly the same reasoning.
BIG difference, sampson! Funny story: about 5 years ago, when I decided to really start backpacking, I went to an REI store. While there, I joked with the clerk about backpacking advertisements. I...
Looking to buy a used ultralight backpack. I have my eye on the Osprey Hornet or the REI Flash 45. Both weigh around 2 lbs and both are between 45 and 50 L for the size large that I need. I can buy...
I know! Would have jumped on it! Was making posts about it while sale was on.
I saw the sale post at 1:25 am the next day! "That coupon has expired." LOL!
