Still available with added belt pockets. Would cost you 289.00 + taxes/shipping if bought new. http://www.granitegearstore.com/Nimbus-Meridian-P13C7.aspx...

Lightly used Granite Gear Meridian Nimbus pack for sale. May have been on the trail a week. Regular torso with medium waist belt blue/gray color combo. I am 5'8" and 155 lbs for sizing reference....

This may have been addressed before so pardon if I am asking something that has been answered. I am still at the stage where I ask rather than answer.
I am currently using the Snugfit on a HH Hyper...

Bumped to top.

Why did you have to say that? Now I got to buy something else. On a good note, it will cut my rain gear total by 3 oz.

Is the JRB DD ponch large enough to cover a Snugfit on a HH with its increased coverage area?

Wondering what you are using to pack/protect the quilt while in the pack?
I have just finished one of my first sewing projects which is a couple doubled ended stuff sack for the hammock. One for the...

Speer IIIA (no tarp) which I have converted to cinch buckles. I have the original Speer straps if you want that as well. Comes in the original stuff sack with bug net. I have sewn on gg pull tabs and...

Heat a little with a iron then placed on a cutting board and rubbed it with the bottom of a spoon. It's more a ribbon of glue than tape. It does not have much structural integrity like tape until it...

For anybody facing a similar problem in the future, the c3 tape http://www.sailrite.com/Seamstick-1-2-C3-Spinnaker-Tape-55-Yds is the way to go. Its some strong stuff once you get it worked in the...

I will PM him now and ask. I suspect it will be the c3 tape he mentioned in the questioned posted by Dutch about a rip in a quilt he was sewing. That pretty strong glue to hold up to stresses like...

Somehow I managed to get a hole, about the size the a pencil eraser, in the hammock bottom in between some of the folds close to the whipping. I seared to keep it from spreading but would like to...

It seems that Annapolis Performance and all other dealers of the 3.8 in black are out of stock. I hope New England Rope has not stopped making the line. I placed an order will Layline, which sells...

With 1½+ the load rating of the 3.8 over the 2.8 I might opt for the 3.8. I was trying to get by with the 2.8 to save the 2-3 ounces in difference in 40 ft of rope, assuming I should use about 20 ft...

I believe I have answered my question after reading some other posts about Amsteel tendency to slip under a load unless care is taken in constructing alternative knots.

Trying some new suspensions on the Speer. I have extra rings and want to try the Garda. Should I use 3mm Amsteel or 2.8mm Spyderline?

From someone with an almost identical setup and if you have enough rope. I have found it helpful to use the multi wrap like Speer suggests (without the tuck) before going to Figure 9 then finish of...

Denatured alcohol and some elbow grease seemed to get most off without any noticeable damage to the waterproof properties.

#2 mod is the best thing you can do to a HH to make it user friendly.

Thanks guys. I give some of those a try and see what works.

I'll let you know next time I get out.

I got a good deal of sap drips from an oak tree onto my tarp this weekend. What is good to use that will not hurt my MacCat?

Nice meeting you and Egads too. Maybe we can hook up again soon when y'all will have a chance to stay more than a couple hours.
Never heard a thing.

Ill insert foot into mouth now. Glad to hear you're hangers too but I would never make fun of you Egads. You and Phreak could probably leave me in your UL dust. We're not "EVOLVED", just comfortably...

If you want to head up Friday I'll head out early Sat AM. If you want to wait til Sat AM, I can wait and hook up with you around 441 and 85. I assume you will be heading up that way? "Good breakfast"...

Four months is not a long time if you don't have to sleep in nasty shelters or on the ground. Head on out and I'll meet ya half way.

Just let me know what your final plan is. I'll have to leave the house about 5-5:30 AM myself. Should take me about 1.5 to get the 3.5 miles to Deep Gap Shelter.

I am kind off lucky to live a couple hours from the trail. Maybe you can get down south sometime and hang.

Youngblood and FanaticFringer,

Yall come on up and we can make fun of the GDers:D

Great views from Tray and some nice pics too. I plan to leave the parking lot off of Hwy 76 7:30-8:00 AM. Hope you can be there. Might have a couple guys from Whiteblaze meet up at the top.

Trying to work something out over at Whiteblaze but if that falls through, what you got in mind?

Looking for anyone wanting to join me this weekend (7/19-7/20) from ****'s Creek Gap to Tray Mtn on the AT. All my usual suspects backed out.

Stick with the solid CCF pads. The voids in the Thermarest pads will decrease the insulating factor. The blue CCF pads from REI are 24" wide, weigh less than a Thermarest and cost less too. You can...

I ordered the summer quit form JRB to use as my test piece over the next few months to see if I prefer the bag or quilt. Leaning towards the Old Rag Mountian and Big Agnes pad for the 8 dayer. May...

Looking for suggestions for next purchase. Planning on a SOBO GA AT thru hike from Deep Gap to Springer in mid October. My current setup is a HH Hyperlite (w/zipper mod), MacCat Deluxe and Big Agnes...

I have and use the BA Insulated Air Core pad in a HH no matter what the temp and have never had a problem. BA pads are made of some relatively thick and tough material. I would look at other options...

Thanks slowhike.

That is not my hammock line or strap in the pic. Just some para cord and a pack strap used for the pics.

The other benefit I see is that eveything (cord, strap & buckles) stays lined up better...

Let me see what I can do here. Gimme a sec.

I have not tested any of these sytems yet on the hammock because I am still waiting on the straps to arrive. Several report problems with the buckles in the cinch buckle sticky being difficult to...

I posted this over on the decender ring sticky but that thread has not had much added posting attention in many months so I decided to start it here.



I have since cut the cinches, tied two...

I am going to move this over to a new thread after doing some quick testing. It seems to be working very well and this thread has not had any added posting attention in some time.

This may have been suggested or tried before but it has been a week since I sat down and read all 69 pages about this technique. I believe I should receive an honorary Hammock Hangers Doctoral Degree...

I am pretty sure you can camp there but I may be wrong. My wife seems to prove that more often than not.
Saw a couple different groups a few weeks ago camping. The day use if probably for the paved...

Just throwing this out as another possibility but just did the first three sections of the BMT and the area at the Toccoa Suspension Bridge is nice as well. LOTS of great camping spots, able to...

FF may better be able to answer since he seems to have a lot more experience with the area but there are several suitable areas with established campsites along the river the first 2 miles or so then...

I believe that's the one they are referring to. Just a few miles south of Tallulah Gorge. Been there for the first time about a month ago and it sees some serious day hiker traffic. Saw at least 30...

Thanks FF. Looks like your a neighbor.

Just ordered a Hyperlite which will be my first attempt at hanging. A GA trip would give me a good opportunity to pick the brains of some vets.
