A little overkill, but they should be lightweight for their size...

Yup, may be a cold wet hike through a swamp. Not supposed to get above 50 all week and a chance of snow tonight. Snow in May, gotta love the UP.

As soon as I get out of work tomorrow I'm hitting the trail. Hiking from Marquette to St. Ignace along the North Country Trail, across Michigan's Upper Penninsula. I figure it will take about two...

I use a heavy wool blanket instead of a pad in moderately cool temps. Much more comfortable than a pad and not effected by compression. Haven't tried using it in conjuntion with the pad for cold...

Probably too late now, but they're a bit cheaper through Campmore. Around$30 or less if I recall right.

I've been using the Byer Moskito for almost a year, sleep in it pretty much every night in the summer and at least a few nights a week over the winter (it hangs under the loft in my dorm). The cords...

One of the music festivals around here always draws lots of hammockers but the camping area is mosly field and scrub locust trees except for one big wide-branching tree. Seems every availible...

Thanks guys, like I said, I'm kinda new to this!

I think I'm understanding the concept, I'm just wondering why a relatively taught single line between two trees with two sliding knots to hang the hammock from would not give the same benefit of...

So forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I had never even heard of a structural ridgeline before stumbling on this site. Why do you use a seperate ridgeline and attachment lines? Why not just...

Not such an issue in the backcountry, but when camping around other people how do you go about dressing and undressing? Changing in a hammock is rather physically awkward, while changing outside the...

I think I'm going to order that Bivanorak thing. Looks like there's still going to be a fair bit of snow on the ground for my hike. We had 4 feet but melting fast last weekend, but just got another...

Hello all, fist time on the forum. I lived in my hammock most of last summer but never did much more than a weekend trek. In a few weeks I am planning a longer hike on the North Country Trail...
