Signed up. Last one was fun.
Thank you!
Thank you! Yes it was.
Does anyone remember the name of the vendor who was selling the alcohol stoves and aluminum cups during the Hang? He crafts the items. I lost his business card and I am trying to find his page. ...
Does that include a tarp or fly? YouTuber SamIAm used an ENO during his thru-hike.
I'm thru-hiking the AT next year too. I'll be using a hammock. I've thought about switching out to a, dare I say, tent. The Zpacks Soloplex. But after crunching the numbers the weight savings is 16...
I own the camo and plain HG tarps. If it's a sunny day you will see a shadow more so than on a cloudy day.

I was at hangcon and interviewed Dream Hammock's Papa Smurf. We discussed the new Sparrow model. My wife has the Thunderbird and though she loves it, her only complaint are the zippers. It looks...
and all this time I was shielding her from the Kardashian's instead!
Definitely!
That's awesome. In retrospect I probably should have not watched "When bears attack!" with her. [emoji6]
We rescued him from a shelter summer. Great with other hikers, doesn't bark and listens well.
Oh...she's a card. She's an eight year old going on 30.
Here's a recent trip I took with my daughter who insisted we go hiking and hammock camping. We headed up to Springer for what was going to be a weekend trip but her imagination got the best of her...
12' on each end
You're a moderator on here. I'm sure you know the answer. He hiked and hammock camped the 2,189 miles in 4 months. He then continued on to Canada. Is that something you may do someday?
I respect Sintax and enjoy his videos. It wasn't a dig. Gatormiller fits the bill. Long distance hiker, used a hammock.
Walking 18 mile days for 4 months straight that is.
Oh come on Sean. [emoji6] You have to tip your hat, he hiked Springer past Katahdin and on to Canada. That's impressive. He's a real hiker, 2089 miles in four months.
I don't know him personally but his you can find his YouTube channel by that name. He was part of the class of 2015 and finished the AT in four months which is beyond excellent. Reach out to him,...
Although he may not be a "YouTube Celebrity" have you considered interviewing Gatormiller? He's actually a real hiker and hammock user. He just completed a through hike of the AT.
Nope. You came across like a person who knows their hammocks. [emoji6]
I'm editing out that video from when I interviewed you at HangCon and spoke about the difference.
This is very unlike HG. I own 3 tops and 3 bottoms. One of my snaps on the foot box needed repair. I sent it off and while they were repairing it there was an unfortunate accident. She didn't make...
I saw that video the other day. It looks like an instant couch.
Thanks Sister [emoji6]
I'm seeing if I can purchase a patch. When I registered and received the wrist band the couple didn't have my name. I made a donation but still couldn't receive one in case they ran short. No...
Hi Binfordw A couple of weeks ago I did some hiking and hammock camping in the GSMNP. I was in the Cosby section which is about 10 miles east of Gatlinburg. I found it to be less crowded. There...
I enjoyed hanging with some new and old friends. I had the pleasure of transporting CampingNuts new Kayak that he won during the raffle. Hats off to those who put it together and the cooks. The food...
I use Tyvek and if windy a couple of titanium stakes to hold it down. I will say this...one thing that I have found when using Tyvek is that during a heavy rain there is a chance of the rain...
It let me do it.
I should have known Shug would have a tutorial. After all, it was Shug who taught me how to properly use a Neti Pot. :cool: Thank you guys for the quick response.
I searched the site but came up empty so here goes. Does anyone know how to add a clickable link to a webpage in the signature area of a profile?
I've been slacking so I got off my rear end and donated. Boy...I feel much better now.
My friend twisted my arm...I guess I'm going too.
Interesting. I love the idea of setting the hammock up early enough to enjoy it but I often find myself trying to make the miles. I set out on week long section hike and within 24 hours I realized...
My wife just received her Hg 0's Burrow and Incubator. As always the quality is awesome. Enjoy!
Shock cord from hammock and tarp pullouts attached to Dutchware Tarpworms. Lawson Glow Wire from Dutchware Titanium Hook Stakes to Dutchware Tarpworms.
They no longer make the Darien with 1.1 ripstop but according to their site it is safe up to 200lbs. http://www.dream-hammock.com/ComfortRating.html I hope this helps.
I tie my trailrunners together and drape over my hammock's suspension closest to the hammock. I do the same with my pack, less the items that are placed in my bear bag. I always use a tarp with doors...
Yes, two inch straps in all state parks. National Parks...go for it.
Thanks
I tend to toss and turn unless I am beat. One night my fitbit indicated that I woke up 27 times!
Good point. I had a similar situation not long ago on the AT. A storm rolled in with heavy winds and rain. In the morning the tarp was just as it was prior to the storm. I think the lighter cuben...
I have a cuben from HG and haven't had any issues with getting it taught. As you know the material is very strong and unlike nylon it's not going to stretch. I use Dutchware Zingit and Fleaz for my...
See this is why I love the forums! I would never have thought to place the hammocks side be side. That's pretty interesting using the sides of the tree like that. This would work for us. We are both...
Hi there from St. Lucie County.
That's where I draw the line...We would kill each other. LOL
That would definitely work with my eight year old. No picture needed, I understand. Thanks!
