Sturgeon, my tarp is 10x10 and not silnylon (wish it was). The basic set up is a lean to based on Cliff Jacobson's and is quite stable in wind. I've not tried the gable set up your link sent me to,...

The New River would probably work - it seems pretty adjustable. If you are really interested, I'm sure KAQ could tell you.
Just completed 6 days in the BWCA using my Clark UL hammock. The canoe is a '91 Sawyer Autumn Mist - a beautiful tripping canoe.

I used a KAQ New River UQ, which was bulky and probably...
Thanks for sharing your pictures! I just finished a 6 day solo loop in the BWCA and will try to get a report posted. Looks like you were a careful packer - I didn't travel so light (and paid for it...
I've been agonizing about outfitting my ENO Doublenest for winter camping and tried something with some success. I've had trouble getting into my sleeping bag while in the hammock and a foam pad kept...
Well, I not completely crazy. Here is a reply that I got from Niteize concerning their reflective rope:
"Our reflective rope is just intended to have a passive reflection, it is not intended to...
I went out well after dark and tried several different flashlights from the same distance to the lines. Only the light from my Princeton headlamp was reflected. What gives?
I bought some Niteize reflective lines with mini figure 9s for my tarp. The fingure 9s worked out just fine, but the line is only reflective in one type of light, my Prinction LED headlamp, which...
I have the ENO Bug Net and don't espcially like it. It sags below the hammock and drags on the ground. It does keep the bugs out, though.
LazyMan,
You must be a canoeist. I also have a CCS tarp (10x10) and love it for BWCA tripping. It seems a bit of overkill for my hammock, though.
Bunny,
I have a Hennesy Hextarp that I use with my double nest. So far, coverage seems adequate for normal rains. I like being able to pitch a porch off one side of the hammock and it provides a...
I generally prefer solo trips. Last year I completed a 5 day solo canoe trip in the BWCA. I've just moved a little closer to the Appalachians and anticipate getting into hiking - possibly the Red...
Law Dawg,
Thanks for asking the question!!! I'm also a newby and was somewhat mystified by how to set up the NR quilt.
OK, Boris, exactly what is a structural ridgeline and how does it make it easier to hang?
Jerry,
I'd be interested in carpooling to Linville, but I don't know if I'll be able to commit to it, right now. I'm moving (I hope) to northern KY within the next month or two and thing may not...
Thanks for the welcomes!

I just replaced the suspension rope on my Clark UL with a ready made Whoopie Sling and it is great! I had been using Figure 9s, but they ate their way through the Clark rope. Where do you guys get...
Canoeski,
I'll be in the BWCA Sep 20 - 25 hanging out in my Clark UL + a new Baby Orca. I'll be interested to hear your report on your Baby Orca UQ. A paddle/hang sounds like a lot of fun. I...
Howdy! I'm just getting into hanging around and don't have much experience, yet. I've inherited a Clark UL that I used last spring in MO on a fishing trip and it withstood a ferocious downpour with...
