explain the footbox please?
I'm new to hammocks and as usual jumped off the deep end and bought a Clark NX-250. And now that I have started reading this forum etc, I see a lot of experienced hammock people choose the Warbonnet...

Auctually look a few threads down. I did the same thing your talking about and believe it would work fine. But I got scared because im headed to colorado in september and went ahead and ordered an...
Thats not bad at all.
That will work. I have a new pack coming tomorrow and I do a lot of archery hunting so I always loaded to the top on the way in with lots of gear so space is pretty critical. But I should be ok with...
The reason I ask is.. I believe 60 inches would cover me from the top of my shoulders to the bottom of my feet and as far as width goes I dont come close to filling up the NX-250 i have. I weigh...
I notice all other brands are 800 fill goose down and you use 900 fill. Can you elaborate a little on how much weight difference there is between the two or stuff size. Also are you willing to make...
Yes, Sorry Forgot it was the last day of the month lol. I will do more brain burning on this and try to make a decision. I'm really affraid if I dont get the full length I might get cold. But it sees...
Stormcrow how fast can a person get lets say a 3 season incubator from ya? If I decide on one I would need it before the end of the month. Also would a 3/4 cover a guy 5'10 or would I need a full...
Thank you Shug, your a great guy and without your youtube videos. Myself and many others would still be sleeping on the ground.
lol you guys are funny. I have a brand new sleeping bag to use as a TQ so I will try to talk with Scarecrow and see what he has to offer. Now I have to decide on 3/4 or full.. I still have not made...
Some of the more popular under quilts comressed? Im looking at the 3 season phoenix and wondering what the season incubator looks like compressed compared to it. Basically wondering how much...
Sorry to ask so many questions but is the HH and black bird basically the same shape as the Clark hammocks. As far as buying underquilts etc goes? I just want to make sure what I buy fits this type...
What Under Quilt fits the Clark NX-250 the best? I'm considering a Down 3/4 UQ of some sort. I honestly don't think I would ever be camping in temps below 20 deg F. I have a brand new 900 fill Marmot...
Do all the under quilts weigh as much as the new river? 32 oz seems heavy but then again most sleeping bags are 32-64 oz..
im going to check out the arrowhead do they fit inside the pockets?.
Sorry just looked at the new river. Dosent having the quilt over the pockets defeat the purpose of the pockets or if adding any...
Some sort of homemade quilts that will fit the pockets on an NX-250. I dont sew and finding someone that does around me and explaining what I want will be an adventure. anyway just wondering if...
I have an old sleeping bag from LL Bean that I could cut up. Not sure what kind of insulation is inside but I know its not down. Hmm I leave in 5 weeks so getting it put together would be the issue.
I'm looking hard at the insultex stuff right now. How many yds do you think I would need? You mentioned folding it 3 times, that just to increase the thickness correct? You also talked about the...
Ok Dale, I'm a newbe so you have to explain things really well so I understand you well. I just looked at the website you posted above. This insultex stuff will have more "R" value and lighter, than...
I cut up three of the Therma-rest ridge-rest pads so they fit or slightly over fill the pockets on my NX-250. Feels like they will work well but no way to test the theory until my September trip to...
What color is the quilt you have?
Man, I think the Under Quilt is probably the best option but it seems I just keep spending money on top of money to get what works best lol. I have 5 weeks before I leave so I am considering what to...
Well my dad decided to make the trip with us. So I'm going to let him carry my zero degree bag and Im going to use the 15 degree bag. I guess I need to decide to use the thin foam pads I have or...
Yes, I agree with you folks, Its a hard call the 15 degree bag is brand new and I want to try it out. But September in Colorado at 10,000 feet it can get cold fast from a freak storm. I think if i...
Colorado Early September @ 10,500+ ft... Average monthly temps near our location. September Avg High=57.0 °F Average low=33.0 °F Record High=81.0 °F Record low= 13.0 °F ...
Well responses were slow this week, everyone must be out camping lol anyway I went ahead and ordered 4 of the Figure 9 biners and 4 of the knot bones. Figured I can try them out and get a system...
Did you get your knotbones? and how do they preform? I'm still leaning towards the figure 9 carabiners but not sure what the best move would be..
OK Doody, I get what your saying and it seems to be a great idea. After looking at the Knot bones and the regular figure 9's this idea of going from the tarp itself the way you did seems best. One...
Thats a very good point. So far im leaning towards using either one of the two Figure 9's or the knot bones. But not sure which, you guys that are using these are still using the same lines that came...
Yeah I have one I can tie well. Not sure of the name. Where you tie a loop in the main line then run the tag end through it, pull it tight and then tie if off. But you still have a knot in your line....
Ok, I see what your saying, you put the biners on the corners or plastic rings way that way you can make adjustments from under the tarp correct? Does it limit how far away you can put your stakes...
Think they will work well? If so I will also order 8. Heading on a trip soon so need to get all my gear etc together pretty quick. thats not the bungie knot bones right just the plain knot bones?
How well do the knotbones hold up when you have a tight line? I figure they would be strong enough but the figure 9's hold more and are metal. Just getting a mental picture of what all you guys have...
Intresting, Im at work and will try to check all that out asap. some of this stuff is hard to grasp being a beginner without seeing it.
Or what about the KnotBone they have? Man lots of ideas out there ! It says the knotbone holds 25 pounds the figure 9 holds 50. Not sure how many pounds you can put on one of the tarps, anyone know??
After looking at the different figure 9's the original design would make more sence i think. I was considering hooking the carabiner to the plastic on the tarp but that would require your lines to...
Just wondering how you guys/gals are or would use a figure 9 on the Clark rain fly. The strings on the fly are really thin, I'm wondering it they are to small for a figure 9 also would it work best...
What do you consider a "coldish" Night? You live way more North than I so I would consider 40 a coldish night and say 20 really cold.. just wondering how much the Z-liner would help. thanks
What are you guys thoughts on the z-liner? worth it or would you choose an UQ ?
I will be in the South San Juan wilderness area around Platoro, Del Nort etc. Should be camping around the 10,00+ Ft mark. Yeah the weather is crazy this time of year would expect nights on average...
I actually have two different pads I used when tent camping but the hammock doesn't feel as comfy using these. one is a air pad the other just the old black and gray foam pads. I'm really working...
I have an NX-250 and I just sold my Marmot 0 degree sleeping bag for one of the new Marmot plasma bags its a 15 degree bag. I get cold really really easy sleeping. I'm headed to Colorado this...
Thanks guys, I went back out and played around with the hammock again yesterday and had much better success trying different things. The main lines are going to be fine just worried me a little at...
I noticed cavediver had a bungie cord attached from the hammock to the tarp but i don't have that bungy with my NX-250.. anyway i want to go outside and try this over but without help in this wind I...
Well folks, i'm learning the hard way as to how to set-up this hammock and the do's and don'ts #1 don't tie the hammock to angle iron no a barn and then have it slip down with you in the hammock.....
Carl, that is freakin sweet man!!
Then again I have until late August for you guys/gals to make me upgrade my equipment and get something that is perfect for my NX250 that dosent break the wallet.. lol
