I've gotten down into the 20's with just a $7.50 walmart pad and a decent sleeping bag. No need to complicate things with the pea pod. Take the rectangle bag and if you're cold, throw it over you. ...

I could see some wind blocking fleece on the outside of the hammock being helpful.
Thanks everyone, it was a great time.
Extra thanks to whoever brought and shared the Dietrichs (I didn't catch your name.) That was a great surprise after an afternoon of hiking.
Looks like BakRch2 and I are in. We'll be hiking in. We plan on arriving at 183 between 12 and 1. Our average speed including breaks has been about 1.8mph (2.6ish moving), which has us finishing...
I'm in the same boat, just waiting to hear back from BakRch2.
Looks like there's a time limit on how long you can edit a post and that time limit has expired :/
Is that a vertical seam I see in the middle?
This is brilliant. I've almost lost my toggles once already and I've only had the setup a few weeks.
I'm totally stealing this idea.
I'm glad I could help (:
Definitely count me in for that!
If you let us know where you're heading from, somebody might be able to give you a ride.
I have a spool of Lash It that's going to become a permanent addition to my Kelty, I just gotta get the time to do it.
Me and BakRch2 are planning on joining you guys at the 501 as well as...
We'll be there in a couple hours. Stopping in Harrisburg for food and fuel, then back on the road. Save some room!
Wow, Scott, thanks for that offer! I think I'll be OK with what I have on hand but I'll let you know if I don't and maybe you can ship it with my next order (: That's very generous of you!
I've...
Absolutely nothing wrong with knots. I started off Ray Mears style, with an Evenk on the tree end and a simple quick release overhand knot on the hammock end. I've since upgraded to whoopie slings...
Dave, you're probably right about those diagonal cuts. I'm considering either opening up the bottom seem on this and adding material, or just scrapping it and making a bug tube. The material is...
Tendertoe, the top of the bug netting hasn't been a problem for me. The issue was the net felt tight on the bottom of the hammock and it wouldn't allow me to get diagonal enough to be comfortable. ...
Man, does that SRL make a huge difference for the newb like me. I must've never got the angle correct before that because once I added the SRL it felt like a whole new hammock!
Also, those bean...
I've been updating the list as people give me suggestions.
Thanks for the response.
This one isn't actually an attached net, but I think your point still stands. Instead of doing measurements for myself I just trusted the template at DIY Gear Supply to...
I recently upgraded the suspension on my doublenest and weighed all the pieces I took off. I figured some other people may like to know the numbers in case they were considering doing the same...
So as my first hammock-related DIY project, I decided to create a bug net based on DIY Gear Supply's Bug Net Cocoon (http://www.diygearsupply.com/diy_guides/DIYGS-BugNetCocoon.jpg)
I pretty much...
Looks like I'll be able to make it at least Friday night. I'm heading in from Philly so I'll be there late. If you see me and my wife stumbling around in the dark, please direct me to the nearest...
Updated list with items from camoxjeep, Murl, and dukedante.
Thanks!
Done and Done!
Thanks everyone :)
I've been lurking a while, as you can probably tell. I'm more of a learner than a teacher at this point, but I figured I'd give back what I can.
Also, I apologize the...
A buddy and I might be interested in hiking in with you, GLP. So far it looks like my schedule is open and we've done a couple trips in the area (309->Eckville, Eckville to PC.) I'll keep you guys...
Hello all,
I got tired of searching through a million threads to try to find the handful of super helpful, instruction-packed DIY project threads. I thought I would compile a list to make my life...
Just thought I'd share some notes from my weekend trip on the AT in PA. I went with a buddy of mine who is also getting into hammock camping and hiking.
To give you a frame of reference for this...
Thanks, people! Cya around.
Oh yeah, that's definitely on my radar. I'm trying to work out the logistics but I'd definitely love to go.
I like to hit the state forests. They let you camp wherever you want and while you might pass a couple people here or there, they're generally pretty empty. The two I've been to are Sproul SF in...
Thanks for the welcome!
I'm looking to get out into the woods a bunch this summer so if anyone is heading out in forests of PA and is looking for some company, let me know.
Hello all,
I've been lurking for a few months after a friend gave me the idea to try hammock camping instead of tent camping. I went out and bought a ENO SN and Kelty Noah 9. Since then I've...
