Count me in! Any color works for me!
They did say they had to go through OK City to get there.
I'm trying to get some more information. As soon as I do I will post here.
Thanks guys.
My son and I met a Boyscout named Chris and his dad at Texas Motor Speedway this past weekend for the Duck Commander 500. The four of us were the only folks in hammocks at the event, my son and I...
I have a beautiful HG camo cuben tarp that came with cuben skins. Didn't like the cuben skins. I made a bishop bag, didn't like it, scared of poking I hole in it while stuffing. Then I made a set of...
I know, "April Fools you big DUMBY!!!"
Did I really read that or am I just cookoocachoo??:tongueup::confused::eek:
Bacon scented hammock=full bear :scared:
Wow, that's awesome. My wife says it's a bedroom, not hammock room. I said that a hammock room sounded rather nice to me. I'm working on her though, she's starting to turn the corner.
Welcome from aloft, neighbor.
Look here a few posts down where Dutch posted.

Try a top stitch needle, it helped when I sewed my straps. It has a larger eye and larger groove.
First and foremost, I've learned to:
HYOH
Precisely why I have 3 hammocks from you, Papa Smurf. Always striving to improve your products and customer service. The guys in our troop always ask about my hammock, I proudly say, " It's a Dream...
I use 1.75 on my Superfly and HG Cuben Winter Palace. I have used Nitize small figure 9, Dutch's Tarp Flyz, Stingerz and Ti Dutch Hooks all on 1.75, all with success, and I like a tight ridgeline....
thanks, I'm in!
Welcome from Baton Rouge, or actually about 10 minutes south east of Baton Rouge. BTW it's a 10 hour drive for me to the AR hang and it's going to be well worth it. Lots of set ups from hammock vets,...
hope I win, Thanks
I'm in, thanks doogie!
I have a UQ, TQ, and a Cuben Tarp. Each item arrived within 7 days after ordering and were perfect. I'm a loyal HG customer.
Ordered my TQ, which had several mods, from Hammock Gear on a Sunday night, received shipping notice Tuesday mid-day, received it Thursday afternoon. Absolutely perfect, and quick. Ordered my...
Keep emailing. I've had better luck calling and leaving messages. The quality of goods you receive is well worth the persistance.
Count me in please!
Makes you wonder if the whole operation is run out of someone's dark dingy basement. Seems they told some joker to go buy whatever hammocks he could find and do a review however he wanted....
Welcome from Louisiana, home of the REAL Mardi Gras.:D
I called HG about that very same thing. Adam told me that the Argon was lighter, of course. He wanted to have a camo option, although not as light, it met his standards for permeability for moisture...
Several of the guys are going to Arkansas in March. Last year it was the weekend before the 15th I believe. Here is last year's hang pics and report. After meeting all the great folks at Kincaid...
ill take sswiss volcano stove and bag
That's very interesting. I will try rolling it up as you described. YOUR TWO CENTS MAY ACTUALLY BE WORTH MORE LIKE A NICKLE OR EVEN A DIME. That darn iron is really becoming a nuisance.:D
Well, my AWESOME wife has bought me and my son matching hammocks. 694 and 699. Little corny but I got over that in about .0001 seconds. Two 11' A-Tacs fg camo Roaming Gnomes. :thumbup: Wooooh...
I roll it up around my CRL, tuck the guy lines in while rolling, pull the skins together when finished. I don't worry about creases, if you fold or roll them up neatly, you still get creases. I found...
Get the doors. Windy: close doors, Blown rain: close doors, Decent weather: tie doors back with a little hook or what ever. I love my HG winter palace camo cuben tarp. The weight added with doors is...
Look here for a demonstration. Maybe it will help. I have a HG Camo Cuben Tarp. I love it. It looks great and I hang it tight. I use it like I used my superfly, arguably one of the most popular...
Ordered a 20deg burrow with lots of custom work on Tuesday night.
Holy cow!!!!!
Got shipping confirmation 1 hour ago.
You weren't kidding when you said the new digs will help you get...
If the underquilt coating is not breathable, condensation will build up in the insulation, and will be rendered nearly useless. You probably have poly fill for insulation. When wet, won't keep you...

Sounds like you may do better with a custom hammock. Call the vendors directly. I bet they can help you.
Here's the post from Aardvark. Excellent idea. Gonna try it on my tarp. Thanks Aardvark!
I bought mine from JTXR on the forum, 25deg REI mummy bag, he cut off head and zipper and sewed it back up.
I love it. I use it at home sometimes. Wife gets too hot, no, not the good way, turns off...
I'll take it
Ive read in other threads 8 stitches per inch is probably best.
Remember, the vendors on this forum back their products 100%. The service provided by them is second to none. Even when the customer screws it up, the vendors usually fix it, you just get it there...
I believe I read somewhere on the forum that Dynaglide is so slick and smooth that it needs a longer constrictor.
What I've read is that you use the same bury for the UCR as a whoopie sling.
You leave a tail long enough on the short piece to tie a modified prussick around the running end so if the line slacks...
No way is anyone too big for a hammock.
Look here papasmurf at Dream-Hammock builds them for guys that make you seem like a dainty flower. This is papasmurf's chart, for a good reference to start....
Here's an article about thread and why it's good or junk. It's an older article but informative none the less.
I'm speechless!
:woot::woot::woot:Christmas in September. :woot::woot::woot:
I use them. I have nothing but good to say about them. What I bought were supposed to be seconds, but found no seconds in my orders. I've bought about 500 yards of material from them.
I find it very satisfying to have made my own quality piece of equipment.

Actually sounds Dangerous! back yard or not.
