A short trip report from my first official winter hang.
A friend and I went out for an overnighter on Dec 10-11th. We started out at the Appalachian trail on Rt.309 north of Allentown, Pa. and...
Unfortunately I don't have the pics readily available, however, my son and I used a two tree method where I set his hammock up above mine. So, the tarp size didn't matter in our case because we...
Probably self explanatory but didn't know much about hammocks ( or related gear for that matter ) when I first learned of HF.
Will hopefully gain a true trail name eventually.
I suppose it...
I haven't looked through all of them [U]yet[U] but I'm sure if you look in the "Helpful Hammock Articles" you will find more than enough information to help you. With pics too.
Also, there are...
You have an awesome job!
Thanks to Greenlespauls generosity, I was able to view the quilt ( and his new WBBB ) first hand last night and have to say he did a beautiful job. Thanks for letting me try it out!! I think I have...
So, I say to my wife ( a non hanger ), "I think I would like to upgrade to a WBBB because I think the Expedition is too small and I don't like the bottom entry". Only had 1 night sleep in it so far....
Welcome Mindwalk. I used to live in on Whidbey Island and miss Wa. dearly. Still have plenty of friends there (some live and work in B'ham) and can't wait to get back and do more hiking there.
seems as though the girl at the checkout was like many workers today, could care less. If you look at the "fine print", it specifies no printed copies to be accepted. But if it works.......
Check this thread just posted today. Guide Gear 12x12 is big but I like it and only $20, cost me $25 with shipping.

I ordered it when the site said out of stock and would ship on or about May 5th. One day later got an email saying it was on its way :D so if you see it's out of stock, order anyway and it may come...
Hung two weekends ago and wasn't very comfortable. ( first winter hang attempt )
To start, I got the idea from Just Jeff's page to use zip ties for whipping and that worked well for the few times...
Having recently moved from Whidbey Island to the east coast, I am very jealous of this potential event. I am in talks now with a friend to fly out and do a couple of days around the Hurricane Ridge...
Wouldn't 550 paracord work for this? If so, it's only about $5 for about 100ft at Cabela's online, maybe other places too. I use two small pieces at each end of my hammock for loops and they have...
Do I understand this correctly, your only insulation, aside from your sleeping bag, was the Speer Pad? Is that enough usually for most people when your expecting 30-40 deg temps? I only have the...
hopefully someone responds to this because I just realized this post was from Oct of '06, not this year. Suppose I should pay more attention next time huh?:confused:
do 9X9's allow enough room to close the ends to prevent wind and such? I'm considering getting the 12x12 mentioned ( once I get on the waiting list which is out to February :scared: ) just so i can...
I don't know much about any of this yet but I see on the Noah Lamport site that the nylon is urethane coated. Is that silnylon or something else? Just as good if not the same?
Not sure why but I can't seem to open the waterfall pics. I was able to see the others though????
Sounds like alot of us started for the same reasons.
About 6-8 months ago I started looking for lightweight tents and pads. This led me to one website after another and eventually found all these...
I think this is an awesome idea. I've been considering using my sons sleeping bag as an uq as I don't have one yet and want to DIY, however this sounds like something i would like to try. If you do...
I'm not certain i can do this weekend either but thank you for your input. Maybe some other time
Wow, didn't expect so many responses...especially this fast. As far when I am going, I was wanting to try and take my son this Labor Day weekend. Still trying to talk my wife into letting him...
Fairly new to hiking and hammocking. Wondering if anyone is familiar with canoing the Schuylkill River from Hamburg to Reading? Is it passable on a canoe and can i hammock camp along the banks?...
not enough fabric may have been the problem. i left a little more sag and lengthened the overall length of the hammock and much better. Thanks....
New to the hammock forums, ( or any forum for that matter ), but am trying to make my own hammock and saw the comment of "shoulder squeeze" which is the reason for visiting this site. I originally...
