Thanks! It took a while to save the funds, but it well worth it. Quilts really make a difference!

Thanks! It took a while to save the funds, but it well worth it. Quilts really make a difference!
I slept in the hammock Friday night in my backwoods to try the quilts. I don't leave my gear unattended.
Just wanted to let folks know, HG is the real deal. My 3 season incubator and Burrow arrived and I set up and used them immediatly. It was 21 degrees and I'm amazed how warm and toasty a hammock can...
Keep the DJ and upgrade it. Replcace the fly wih something bigger. Instead of the SuperShelter buy a 20 degree underquilt and topquilt. That's my 2 cents.
pm sent instead.
I own a NX 150. I feel squished in it. It rubs on both of my shoulders, so I gave it to the mrs. I was going to get a 250 untill I saw this new flex180. Your mods are genious. So now what to buy? I...
Hello. I own a Deep jungle xl zip. And a NX 150.
1. No dogs in hammock ever. Why? You live in Co! You have those big nasty bears in Co.Big nasty bears love K9 burritos. Its a dog! Tell it to lay...
Not to overstate the obvious, but were you at a diagonal ? The more on the diagonal, the straighter the back.
I hang because sleeping on the ground about kills me. I hang because it's simple, yet complicated. I love Gadgets. A Supercharged whoopieslinged full quilted camo nx 150, to me is a well thought out...

Slackin on the SHT.
I'm 5'9" 270. I use the 150.
I have been disappointed in Clarks claim about the pockets. I too will be gettiing a full length underquilt. And a TQ. The z liner isn't something I'd waste my $ on.
For 100.00 u can't go wrong with a HH Scout. MAKE SURE TO GET THE ZIP!
I will not try to answer your post here. Welcome and search for your answers. If you'd like a specific question answered, PM anyone. All are helpful.
My 2 cents. If you're concerned about weight and bulk, and have a large budget, and Hike/camp year round, Buy a winter set, 0 degree TQ and UQ, and a summer set, 50 degree TQ, 40degree UQ. On a...
Great Video's as always Shug, I was laughing so hard at hickory with that hock in the nose I was cryin'!
unable to purchase TQ sorry.
I hope you're happy with any decision you make. Feel free to make any statements you'd like as well as ask
any questions. Folks here are very helpful. Even when you're not asking a question.:glare:...
Thank you! Now I have an excuse to burn another sick day I don't have.:lol:
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little! Good times!

May I join you folks? Or are you full? Are Fishpigs allowed?
Answer: YES! I think my NX 150 is worth every PENNY. I sleep on my side, and this hammock meets my needs. I live in MN, I've NEVER been cold in my CLARK, and I've NEVER been wet in my CLARK. Upgrade...
If miles are the thing, I vote to stay further south. Less driving, more hiking. Driving all the way to Grand Marais is a waste of a weekend IMHO. If the majority of folks disagree that's fine. I...

I just switched out my stock suspension for the All in one by http://www.whoopieslings.com/ It's great! Easy to install and easy to use. I'm not an ultra-light hanger, I just don't see the need to...
I replaced the stock suspension on my new NX-150 with whoopie slings by http://www.whoopieslings.com/ LIGHTNING fast shipping, and a FIRST CLASS PRODUCT! THANK YOU! :D:D:D
Talk about fast shipping!! Thank you!! They went on just like you said, super easy. First class product, First class service. :D:D:D
Thanks, my order is in. Could you walk me through attachment, or direct me to a source?
Welcome! Check out this site http://www.whoopieslings.com These will make your life easier! Otherwise, ...
What size slings to order for my NX 150 ? I'd like to order the all in one.
Did somebody say sumthun about pigs? I'm a hangin freak!:laugh:
Anywhere on the SHT would be great. Manitou State Park is Beautiful in October. Very few people, Great fishing for Splake. Tasty little critters!
Camped At the Flour Lake NFS Campground for the fishing opener. Set up, built a fire, Had a few "SHASTAS", they were good, so I had a few more. It started to SNOW. Not a sound could be heard....
Love the Clark. 1st class Quality. Made in USA. Cool Camo.
Put the rope through the drip ring. Then through again. With the tree hugger on, put the end of the rope through the Tree hugger. Then through the drip ring,and back towards the tree hugger. Tie a...
Got mine ! Let me know when the stoves arrive.
I have found that using a truckers hitch with a slippery half hitch on a Quick release is easier to adjust for tension AND untie. Learn some basic knots. you'll save $ on fancy suspension.
I don't know a thing about altitude sickness, however I have decades of solo canoe trips in the bdub.
1.) I switched to bringing nothing but dehydrated food. I quit hanging my food years ago. I...
IMHO, You'll be fine without a UQ. Mid August here is normally warm, today it was 98! Buy a 20$ fleece liner, or just use your 50 degree bag to lay on. Still nervous? Bring a set of UnderArmour. I...
Sat. Oct 8 or 15 or would be peak colors on the SHT. Give or take.
Trade you Venom stove, even up. I made 50 of them. Much better than the atomic, no priming needed. No pot stand needed. http://www.youtube.com/user/Fishpig65?feature=mhee
My Deep Jungle XL Zip Has pocket, on the ridgeline. Plus Two hooks. Get the Zip, IMHO a better product.
Good luck!!
SHT works for me, as well as the date. I'm open any weekend.
Welcome! Thank you for your service! http://www.youtube.com/user/Fishpig65?feature=mhee
With an end to the Government Shutdown, How about Manitou State park? Would need reservations for Oct 13, but we could reserve the whole thing!
The Clark has it's own pocket! Leave the head rope sticking out a few inches and you wont need snakeskins!
Soloing is the best test of your outdoor skills. Experience has a way of comforting your mind. Whether it be a bear,( I left the Berkley Powerbaits in my tackle box!) A VERY close encounter. A Moose...

I own 3 hammocks and a tent. I haven't used the tent in 2 yrs. I paddle the Bdub and ATV as well as hike all over East Central and Northeast MN. Save your money and buy a Clark Jungle Hammock NX 250...
