just too pricey for the holidays. Not that your not priced well, but I cant afford it at the moment. dying for a good tq/uq right now tho
You might want to try the Line Loks in the HF store. They have a mini version also. I'd probably throw a half hitch in it also. PM me if you need to learn a half hitch.
Thanks for all the suggestions. So, great news...We've just started a new schedule where we work 4 days on 4 days off alternating shifts. This'll open up a much bigger area for trips and allow me...
Hi all,
So I made the mistake of taking a job in Memphis, TN and now I feel like I am in a big black hole in the world of hiking and hammocking. I've scoured the internet in search of public...
I want it-- PM Sent
I can't believe I missed this.
I'm new here in Memphis and am aching for some dirt time. I often have to work saturdays but could leave right after work at 3 and hit the trail. Anyone know of any good places to backpack near...
I want it, but can't throw down 80 bucks at the moment.
Blue and grey, like new, Size: Med.
Just grew out of it torso wise.
Yeah, I will admit that I'm probably missing out on some good sites just due to my inexperience. I think anybody would have at least a little trouble here though. The hills and mountains are VERY...
Now, I'm not knockin hammocks, but I have to say that I'm a little disappointed. I set myself up with a real nice kit thinkin it'd be perfect for these mountains in Japan. It's next to impossible...
When I made my tarp ridgeline, I larksheaded one d-ring, then I took my other continuous loop and made a prusik onto a tube from a cheap pen. Then I larksheaded the loop to the tarp and passed the...
Is this the orange one with the pole that makes a peak over your head? Pics always help! :)
Man I can't wait to order one of these babies! I love how it's virtually indestructible, not very susceptible to water damage, and versatile! Great job MMG!
I want em if you haven't sold yet.
Circumference
lol I did the same thing! I pulled up the youtube vids of wear options. I'll end up getting the polar version too.
Just stumbled onto the buff's here at a store in Japan. Sold under different name, but definitely the same thing. Couldn't help myself, picked one up. It's pretty friggin sweet! Can't wait for...
First of all, I like the multiple answer format. Personally, I like to have my tie outs pretty tight. I've noticed that it's easier for me to get situated with it spread out. As far as sea...
Are clothes included in base pack weight? My understanding is that it's everything but food, water and fuel. But, my clothing varies with every hike even in the same season. Just asking. If not,...
10 yards for me! I can pay after the the Fool's day. That ok with ya?
If I were only back in the states.
Thanks. Looks like I'll be heading to the gulf soon. Blah. Hot and unforgiving. Hours and hours wearing a gas mask for drills. Not fun. Good news is it'll be over in September when I transfer....
I agree that the learning curve is exaggerated. Even if the kit you start with isn't the lightest or most hassle-free, it still works. A good sleeping bag, WW ccf, blue tarp and a parachute hammock...
Still waiting on a Maccat Dlx
Replaced my Osprey Atmos 65 (58 oz) with a new golite Jam 2010 model (31 oz)
Using a Krazy kook kit rather than a snow peak with an msr pocket rocket.

Really looking forward to shore duty and being able to make more trips. I've made one overnighter and one 3-day hike in the last YEAR! This is not acceptable. Not to mention that 5 years on one...
Just got a paypal request from Brian. He had to send a separate one to account for the guyline pocket mod. SO, EVERYONE, HE IS ALIVE!
Here's the email I got when I requested a price quote from Cabot International. Cody,
Nanogel Thermal Wrap blanket sounds like a great use for insulated
hammocks. Unlike other insulating...
I have Opie's 10 footers on my HH and I'll never need anything else. Plus they weigh so little that I think the difference is negligible. Better safe than sorry and why not when they're so light?
I'll take everyone's word for it. I order a deluxe last week and will wait patiently. Being in the Navy and trying to just take one easy class was incredibly difficult... enough for me to decide to...
Sorry, shoulda checked the original post. Still getting used to how people operate on forums.
Bump...Any news
Just contacted Cabot about samples and a price quote for a roll of thermalwrap. If this stuff does what it says and is decent to pack, I'd prefer it over down. Not to mention that to make an...
Yea, when my dad told me we were going there when I was a kid, I was all excited about hiking up it, then we got there. Nice attraction, but not what I was expecting.
Trust me. I'd love to, but I'll be working in Bangor so no dice. Maybe, I'll be able to get in on some of these hangs though. I'm so excited to get there.
Thanks for the input everyone. It's hard to visualize just how much coverage you get based on measurements. Okay, deluxe w/ guyline pocket mod ordered. Now I have to wait patiently for it to cross...
Well, yea I know, but just thought it'd be cool to get an email with some blurbage about the forum and nice welcome message, maybe with a nice header like the one at the top of the forum pages.
So, does HF have a form or system in place to invite friends to the forum? I know I can easily bring friends in by word of mouth/email, but I was just wondering if there was a "Invite a Friend"...
Oohhhh... Didn't notice that. Hmmmmm....
When I get to the states, I'm planning on sending mine in for doors too. So deluxe it is. I've been hearing that I might be spending a fair amount of time under my tarp so it needs to be roomy.
Ok, so I'm moving to the Seattle area in September. I've never been there, but I know the area is widely known for rainfall. I'm about ready to order a Maccat, but I'm not sure if I should spring...
I don't have any experience w/ Hammock Bliss hammocks, but I'm positive that the #4 snakeskins would accomodate just about any hammock short of the huge rope net ones. That said, if you're just...
I'm using 1.75 mm on 1.75 mm for my prusiks and had issues at first with slipping, but found that using at least 4 wraps and making sure your knots are very neat tight and properly made makes all the...
I made a 20' ridgeline and also found that to be short. Poor me, oh what could I do? Duh! Splice in some more line! Problem fixed.
Ok, so am I supposed to make a 'deep' space with the mesh in my vacuum hose? I thought it was only for chasing down clusters so I made mine flat, basically stretched over the hose end. But, that...
Okay so, a search of 'down', 'stuff', or similar yields a huge number to results with nearly none of them having to do with actually stuffing down. That said, is there a trick to this? I'm three...
Man wish you had waited 5 days.
Wisedom absorbed oh great oldgringo.
Mine sorta look similar, maybe not as discolored(if the pic shows the color correct). Mine are basically brand new, so I figured it's just how it gets, since I had heard such rave reviews of them. ...
