Oh I understand that bit with the shock cords not offering more insulation, my concern for more Klews and thinner shock cord was directed more to the way it would hang as opposed to offer more...
Copy, I will look at adding more Klews and verify the 8" max distance tonight. Currently with the 1/8th shock cord I get minimal compression on the UQ. And I feel if I switch to a single cord instead...
Ok so here are my thoughts after two nights of sleep. Klew with loops seem way to stiff when using 1/8 shock cord, REI only had 1/8 so I am going to move away from the Klew setup like it is. Going to...
Ok so here is what I came up with , will adjust as needed. Thank you all for the ideas. I laid in it for a few minutes and can feel no drafts except towards my feet and it's minimal. I can pull most...
Some good sleeping for a few hours.
Thank you very much Ranc0r...On it with a wool blanket this weekend, thanks. This is basically what I was thinking, except I was going to to sew buttons, to the wool blanket. Sorry for the miss, I...
Those are insane, when I dial in the setup, that is 100% what we will be using. I don't need much, and the thin comforter I was sleeping on worked for most the night, so that on top and the...
Do you sleep on it, or is it setup like a UQ?
Not familiar with the Klew suspension. However the wool blanket is the direction I was thinking.
Hello all,
I use to be on this site every day, learned what i needed and had my camping setup dialed for sure. I at one time prior to getting married slept in a hammock everyday for about 3 years....
+1 Yes perfect word choice after seeing the pic. All joking aside sorry about your lose, hope the 2.0 Ver brings many comfy nights. :D
Never mind went a totally diff way.
+1 I am 165Lbs. Use two 3/8" Eye Bolts, pre-drilled the holes and I have never had any issues...."YET":lol:
P.S. They are rated for 250lbs.
all looking to purchase a Speer Pea Pod and Full Over cover Hammock Sock. Not looking for the Hammock Sock to be like the Pea Pod but more like the one off Just Jeff's site.
Ok testing some things in preparation for a Thru for next year and am looking into using a Bivvy/Quilt Liner for added warmth on those few nights that drop, instead of purchasing a larger TQ or OQ. ...
And to add to this...What about just sitting during the day? Anyone bring an UQ with them as night temps where low but day temps high? I have and for sure during the day you want that UQ as far...
Good lord your a big feller ain't chya? :D Being 5'7" and 165 I can't say much to aid you other than knowing the equipment, SMC descender rings and some good quality 1.5" webbing would be the safest...
Howdy Slopes!! :)
Dutch= It is ok to use sticks for toggles but you need to use little huggers on them. And the little huggers weigh more then a toggle so you might as well just carry the toggle.
Actually I like...
:lol::lol::lol: Outstanding!!!!
+1Million, was giggling for a while about how you attach it to a tree. Priceless.:lol::lol:

And let me say I too am not knocking you guys (Jacks) I have bought stuff from you/them before and will again, just too alike for me not to ask the question.
I think to answer the original Posters question...Reason is we like to mess with stuff that aint broken.:D But honestly it is all about choice, like gargoyle said we like to try out new stuff and...
WoW...your kinda right with those links...Descriptions, Weights, Sizes....all similar :confused: Could they be one and the same, I mean is JRB selling Equinox gear? Jacks?
My only reason for suggesting a DYI is I thought I knew what i wanted and when I bought my first hammock it was a Clark. Loved it until I figured out some things I would prefer that it didn't have. ...
Nope...... wait I just saw it blink. :lol:
And you had me laughing, sparking my memory about Stokes State Forest. I use to go there all the time and even did the grade school outdoors thing there. I am a little younger than some of you with...
Ok made some new Whoopie Slings and added a few Toggles got rid of two Beiners and four ring buckles.
Total Suspension Both sides excluding my ridge line as I think that is more part of the...
And that pile at the bottom, sure does look like everyone is having a good time. (I say as I slide my way past "alaskaoneday"):lol::lol::lol:
Did you kill it for chewing threw your Hammock? I would have, and I never kill stuff. Don't mess with my gear though or its your @#$.:lol::lol::lol:
No I do not as I have no scale at home to weigh them. I am going to bring them in to work tomorrow and use the mail scale there. Get some good looks from the folks in the office when I do that...
Yea a few ideas on what nutter you are :lol::lol:. Dude I love the vids. Not sure how I missed that one, thought I'd seen'em all. Good thing I clicked on it as I would have put many more loops in...
Ok I went with a combo setup used the Whoopie sling with toggles I made from Aluminum Slurpee straws I found in 7/11.

No...I can not help ya with the WBBB but once you buy your Hammock (BB or Clark) lets get together for a hang. Work in SLC but live out in Heber right by the Uintah Entrance. Cool setup at teh...
Glad to have ya. This place is an excellent place to gather info and spread it. That and the fact we are among good folks well myself excluded (Hahahaha), but honestly, start saving now as you will...
Done deal, and I did tie a Double Overhand Stopper Knot at both free ends "Frawg". For some reason I don't like the extra tag left over from burying the free ends. Found out that my initial thought...
After reading through this whole post (i.e. 2 days) I have come to the conclusion that the Whoopie Sling is my best choice. Reason being is I get very stupid after a 14 mile day and have been known...
Heck if I had $5K to blow on a bottle of booze I would for sure. And share it with everyone I could. That is if I had it to blow it.:laugh:
Answer:
1... Correct. Figured I will try it both ways and see which works best for me. And with the way I was thinking, would use the beiner as the drip ring.
2... Figured Marlin Spike would...
OK Finally just arrived at work was disappointed not being able to use it this weekend but, I now have an excuse to sleep in the back yard tonight. Will give a small review, and then a better one...
Perfect. Thank you all so much for the feed back. I love this darn place. Should be getting my AMSteel on Monday or Tuesday so i will be able to rig this up as you did Slowbro. Might reverse the...
Does someone have information on how much AmSteel Blue soaks up water? I am asking because I am trying to use the Whoopie Sling method on 1/8" Blue for my suspension, and am wondering if I connect...
I am the "Other" lucky person to get one. I am waiting on it, should be here tomorrow. I will be able to add more info to this post once I get it under the hammock this weekend to give a full Trip...
Has Clark raised their prices? It seems I payed quit a bit less for my UL last year than what is listed currently on their site.:confused:
