Saw the map for Michigan, and I realize it was Nov 2013, but 25? How can this be true? I own four! Gotta be way more than that. Awesome workmanship and willing to customize to make your dream hammock...

Too late again. Nice catch whoofit. Awesome pack!
I'm in, nice work...Bush
I'll take it! PM coming.
Missed ya by about a week. I did my solo counter clockwise and enjoyed it immensely. I did run into several hikers who ignored the rules as well. Including 18 girls who camped maybe 35 feet from me....
Welcome, and I'll see ya at Deep Lake. Looking forward to it...Bush
It's not defective, there are gaps in the sewing of the two layers to allow a pad to be placed between them for insulation...Bush
I'm in, +1 ground dweller girlfriend but she makes some delicious orzo, fruit and pasta salads to go with lunch/dinner. We will assist with any needed prep as well. Looking forward to it. Recruited a...
Thanks guys, I figure it won't matter too much. Since it's my first time, everything will be a new and interesting experience. Leaving Tuesday, returning on Saturday. I'll post some pics upon my...
Hey guys, and gals, I'm heading out next week for a long awaited trip to N. Manitou Island and am looking for some trip advice. I've read up on the general layout, maps and distances. I am planning...
UH, Looks like somebody has some skills. That hammock bag design is awesome. I will be your first customer!!!Bush
Welcome, keep an out for the MI fall hang thread. A great opportunity to see a lot of different rigs and pick up some great tips and tricks. Great group of people on this forum and a never ending...
I'd go for a return to Deep Lake. It did seem to attract people from a variety of locations. Had a good turnout as well. Plenty of activity options and plenty of good trees for hanging...Bush
Polyester. Polypro will stretch, as will nylon. You may not notice at first but will end up with your butt on the ground in the morning. 1800# is standard tree hugger material...Bush
I can only speak for myself as I have progressed along over the past several years. I did a lot of reading, received a fair bit of advice along the way too, but only you can decide what gear is...
Congrats on making the trip and reporting back to all of us. I recall your concern with leaving that tent behind. Glad to hear it worked out well for you, although a little shorter than expected. I...
You gotta be careful, you may end up losing your favorite gear. Last car camping trip I hung a diy traveler type up to relax in. She says, "That would be better if you could get away from the bugs"....
North Manitou is next on my list for this year as well. Good luck and let us in on the details. I'm sure you will do just fine. Enjoy yourself! You got this...Bush

Sold pending funds to Rolloff.
I don't know of any formulas on hammock length but Warbonnet states the standard 10' blackbird is comfortable to 6'8". Recently there have been a few 11' hammocks introduced and seem to be pretty...
I have a quilt that I picked up here on the forum which sits idle that I am looking to sell. It's 40"wx42"l, 8-5" baffles which are very well stuffed 3" thick with unknown fill power down. Olive...
SOLD to FBG.

Unused HUG net from AHE. I'm sticking with a netted hammock. 30.00 shipped conus. Stats on AHE website...Bush
I live in MI and it seems there are always some bugs except for winter of course. I own both but always seem to turn to a netted hammock for my adventures in the piney woods. I use the netless...
Recently got a Darien #432, 1.1sl olive brown, dynaglide upgrade on whoopies, ridgeline and zipper pulls. With straps and toggles is weighs in at 15.5oz complete in the stuff sack. I bought a 1.9 as...
If you decide you want the traveler and can't wait the four weeks or so to get one, I have an unused 1.7sl I could be persuaded to part with. It's got whoopies on it however...Bush
I made no claim, merely posed a question concerning trade offer...Bush
Did you say Scouts? The be prepared scouts? Just kidding, I'm anal retentive so I gear list every time. I have learned my memory is not what it used to be and neither is my back. Can't chance it and...
Pm coming on possible trade.
Sold pending funds, will update Monday.
Hex/Cat. Initially bought to go with my OES MacCat Deluxe. Same as the first tarp setup in Grizz's video "Breaking Wind".
I have two unused 2QZQ silnylon grizz beaks that have sat idle in my spare gearbag for awhile now. Bought a superfly so they are no longer needed. Gray sil version and weigh in at 6.1oz each on my...
Yep good choice, you'll like it. I was thinking about grabbing this as well but you gotta be quick around here...Bush
I too have owned both and feel the 1.1dl is more comfortable at my weight of 200 lbs...Bush
Are you wanting a bivy sack or all net bivy shelter? I have an unused bivysack, left zip with wp bottom, breathable top and netted face area. If that's what your looking for let me know...Also have...
If you would like to maintain your net option and make your weight requirements like I did, you could go with a dream hammock darien 1.1sl with dynaglide suspension at 15.5oz complete and a wb...
Can't offer an opinion on butt in a sling, however I can say I own a dangerbird, two roaming gnomes and a darien if that tells you anything. Papa does excellent work and Dream Hammock is an...
I'll take it...Bush
Sold pending funds to JasonByers.
12x5 and 27.2oz with stock webbing suspension.
I use a tyvek ground sheet under my hammock to protect gear and step onto to change clothing etc. It's long enough and wide enough to use as a groundcloth to protect my hammock from abrasion if I...
Giving you a good luck bump, you'll love it if you can find someone willing to part with one. I absolutely love mine, super comfortable with my 25# loadout...Bush
No worries buddy, I would only opt for a sewn footbox for a true winter quilt. You'll have some extra versatility with venting when using it in the warmer weather...Bush
Currently at work, could set it up this evening and take some however. Multicamfabric.com has the material showing the fabric pattern.
Just received my new multicam blackbird after four weeks of anxious waiting and I find I prefer a solid color hammock after all. It is as it arrived from Brandon, webbing suspension, unused, not hung...
Tyvek for me. Light weight and cheap, especially when your next door neighbor is a contractor and gives you his leftovers.
I currently keep an amsteel loop which can used in many ways. Strictly suspension wise, I figured I would be more likely to damage the hammock itself than break my whoopie sling. Now that you brought...
Just got my Dream Hammock Darien 1.1sl in the mail today. Couldn't wait to get home from work to check it out. I was shooting for a 16oz netted hammock to complete my setup and it came in at 15.5...
