Yeah, I've got Prime and it does save on shipping cost, just not shipping time.
I know that carabiners aren't that expensive, but here in Hawaii, there are no REI's or Dicks SG, or (fill in the National Sporting Goods chain). The only way to get climbing stuff is to order from...
Was at Lowe's yesterday just walking around, and I found a cheaper alternative to climbing rated carabiners. (Don't know if this has been posted yet.) Anyway, back in the hardware section, by the...
Yeah, I could have left them on. In fact, I had both on at first, I just wanted to cut the extra bulk/weight for the stuff sack.
Thanks for the info. I'll check it out!
GOT IT:
Just watched a video an switched them out. Wasn't too hard. Thanks!
I guess I understand the concern. It just really sucks that a few inconsiderate idiots ruin it for the rest of us. Hawaii has some really strict rules when it comes to camping. (No fires, being one...
So my whoopie slings just arrived for my Hennessy. I don't know what to do with the attached rope that came with my hammock. Do you guys just leave it on, or tie it off somehow? I don't know the...
Has anyone had problems with Park Rangers (or anyone else for that matter) getting on their case about hanging? It seems like hammock camping leaves less of an impact than even ground tent camping,...
Welcome to HammockForums! I really miss North Carolina! Can't wait to get back sometime.
Welcome to HF! I wish there was an REI in Hawaii!
So two buddies of mine and I were car camping years ago in LBL in Western Kentucky. We had an amazing, remote location on the shore of a beautiful bay. Nobody around for miles. The scenery was...
So true! You can literally take ten steps off the trail and you vanish! It's perfect. The hiking community here is really strong. There are always groups going out on weekends.
True. I've actually been thinking of ways to use a poncho and liner for a UQ!
Yeah man, K-Bay is definitely the sweetest location of all the military bases on island! I have to drive an hour in traffic just to get there.
Awesome, thanks. Any particular brand you recommend?
So I'm relatively new to hammock camping. I've never used an under/top quilt. I've always just used a sleeping bag/blankets to keep warm. Now, I have the misfortune of being stationed in Hawaii...I...
Ummm. Yes, sorry this was a joke.
Hanging is like breathing...if you don't breathe in and out, you cease to exist. Similarly, if you don't get in and out of your hammock...need I go on?
Have any of you guys had any luck "going vertical"? You know, where you hang your hammock straight up and down and sleep Space Shuttle Style? Just curious.
Thru hike the Ko'olau Summit Trail on Oahu. 8 days of awesomeness! Probably sometime in January. We'll see. Hope to get some nice shots/reviews of my new Hennessy and whoopie sling setup.
A few nice hikes to get you started and used to hiking on Oahu:
1. Mariner's Ridge: the most "bang for your buck". This is only about a 45 minute hike up to the "top". Here you get amazing views...
There are definitely longer hikes, they're just not very well publicized. I've gone on an overnight on the Ko'olau Summit Trail and I'm planning a three day, two-night in January. There are days and...
I'm stationed over on Schofield Barracks and I've been here for over two years. Ten months left and I'm really itching to knock out some more trails before I go. I'm pretty familiar with the trail...
Man I'd love to, but I'm on Oahu. Going on a three-day KST hike in Jan. Haven't made it over to the Big Island yet.
Hammocks are perfect for Hawaii! I can't wait to try it out on the ridge line. I will definitely take lots of photos of my hike to post here. I will try and document everything about my setup so I...
Hey all. Just found this forum and decided to hang out with the cool people. I'm currently living in Hawaii and I'm excited about getting into hammock camping. My only experience has been with a...
