What temp is the TQ and UQ good to?

I cut down a 7-11 aluminum Slurpee straw into 2" toggles. Works great and nice and light.

Just got back from a 14* trip. Only took a 3 season yeti, 32* MH Phantom bag and CCF pad (as temps were reported to be higher than they actually ended up). Total weight 39oz. Had a light fleece and...

Well I took the BB out this weekend for it's first hang with the UCR's and ended up awaking to the sound of sliding rope followed by a gentle thud as me and my BB descended to the ground (more than...

I've been trying to find the perfect tarp attachment point and can't seem to get it where I want it. When I tie off to the trees it seems the tarp is either too high and far away from the hammock or...

Thx AC and WBG. That is exactly what I needed. So simple, i was just making it harder than it was. Not so scary once you see how its done.

Thx. Now if I was going to switch to a Whoopie Sling could i just run dead eye end of the sling around the hammock and then run the sling through the burried dead eye and pull tight? and what exactly...

Does anyone have directions on a larks head? I cant seem to find any.

i am thinking of changining the suspension on my bb but cant tell how the current suspension is tied on and how the ridgeline is attached. how is the current suspension tied and what is the best...

Well if there's no cons and the UCR does show some possibility then maybe we'll just have to rename it with something that's just more fun to say.

Out of curiosity why has the whoopie sling become so popular over the concept of a Utility Constrictor rope (UCR). From what I've found on the two setups it seems the UCR allows you to carry 1/2 as...

So the consensus seems to be that the sling is the way to go. So is the 7/64 amsteel sufficient and how is everyone attaching the sling to the tree strap? I've seen the marlin spike hitch used but in...

I'm seeing alot of threads re: Whoopie Slings and just wondering how they compare in terms of simplicity, weight, and bulk to Webbing straps? What are the pros and cons of slings vs webbing?

Is everyone with this pad using the wide or narrow? At 41”x61” how do you pack this pad? Seems too wide to roll and attach to or go in your pack.

What is the difference in insulating properties and comfort between the GG Thinlite and a Blue CCF pad? What temp would you be good down to with either of these pads by themselves and used in...

Real world, how many degrees would everyone say a top cover adds to a BB in different weather conditions and temperatures?

I would say it's not necessary. once your weight is on top of a pad in a hammock everything pretty much stays in place from my experience. i've never had a pad shift underneath me but have wanted to...

I say all three would be ideal.

Does anyone here in the 185-200lbs. range have a single 1.1 BB? How do you like it and does it adequately support your weight and provide a flat enough comfortable lay?

My footbox has the double layer. I have been placing a 1/2 blue ccf inbetween the layers of the foot box and just lay it on the same diagonal as the footbox and pull it down towards the head end of...

I just picked one up on fathers day to hang around the back yard. Not too bad for $18. Spent the night in it and slept well. Could be a little wider, got some shoulder squeeze on my back but was fine...

+1 OES... fine Tarps indeed.

Just imagine a typical stuff sac except this one has the opening with drawstring on both ends of the sack as opposed to just the top with a solid bottom.

I just attach the BB tieouts to my tarp guy lines and works quite well for me.

First hang with the BlackBird, Yeti, and OES MacCat Dlx. It was the greatest night in the woods ever. Thank you Brandon. I love this setup and will nver dwell upon the ground again. Now I'm just...

I would like to know also. Does anyone have an opinion or info on what snakeskins for a MacCat Dlx?

I've got the black webbing and no problem with stretch, but it will slowly drop if you don't put a good tight slippery half hitch tight against the triangles.

all the time now. I'm already trying to figure out a way to talk the Mrs. into allowing me to hang one or two, or maybe three around the house.:lol:

P.S. - Shug, your videos are great and played...

I had been looking for a comfortable sleep system in the back woods for a long time that would allow me to actually sleep through the night without aches, pains, and appendages going numb. Through...

After hanging I don't have a problem feeling like anything is moving, just a problem that no matter where I sit or lay other that my hammock it is miserably uncomfortable.

I would like to thank Hammock Forums and it's members for introducing me to the world of hammock camping. I have been looking for a comfortable sleep system in the back woods for a long time now...

What size sacks are you guys using to fit it all together? I was thinking a 12"x16" or 12"x19" would work nicely and loose to allow room for everything 4 season and then just stuff into the bottom of...

I have been lurking and reading here for a while now and got bit by the hammock bug and I just got my first hammock; a Blackbird and 3 season Yeti and would like to simplify and minimize my packing...

Besides weight & price, what is the difference between Spinn and sylnylon? Is Spinn worth the extra $ ?
