    The New River would probably work - it seems pretty adjustable. If you are really interested, I'm sure KAQ could tell you.

    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...

    Niteize

    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?

    Niteize Reflective lines (not!)

    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...
