Hello from Belgium! :-)
Vulture II, it is a beast. I wanted a pack that could serve as a carry-on, so the size had to be right (not too small, not too ginormous) and it had to be sturdy. I somehow stumbled upon that brand,...
Absolutely not closer at all lol, but I have time really as I do not do winter camping - and summer is almost over here. The shipping costs keep me going back to the Jungle hammock, but it seems the...
how was the sleep, Wild?
I'll only switch when it breaks, but I'm mostly trying to understand all the price differences and the cheerleading for certain hammocks and so on.
I like its size, how compact it is (it is simply...
Well I set it up and let it out for a night, it was rather windy and a lot of rain came down. I'm really liking the tarp!
Does anyone happen to know if there is a way to rub of the printed words...
Hey all,
For a while I thought I had a hammock of a certain brand but I now found my actual one online:

Believe it or not, at...
LOL, I think many on this board know the feeling :-) Though she has gotten used to it, as long as I keep the ratio to max 5:1 (5 packages for me, 1 for her) she's alright :-)
Say, I'm interested...
I agree with the OP! Shug your vids are a treat to watch, and you are in a category of your own on youtube :-) I too, look forward to another season of El shug!
Is there a 'howto' hidden in this thread somehow? I seem to be missing the instructions on how to make a 'nacrabiner'!
Thanks!
Shugmeister, I have watched your vids over and over again, and yes indeed I noticed for the first time last night that you cover the ridgeline thingy in your shed! I'm MrMoosseful (or something like...
I understand a ridgeline for a tarp, but I noticed many are using a ridgeline in the middle over their hammock, supporting nothing, why is that necessary? Mine works just fine without it, so I'm sure...
Im so happy, I was ale to make the slings with those ropes :-)
It is AWESOME, I find that the wrapping effect on the hammock from hanging on one rope is much better then when you have several...
excellent, thanks!
Ok, sounds fine to me. Well, first of all, claytor is the only one that ships at a great rate, so I gravitated towards the JH (without the tarp), but it is very difficult to choose, all I know is...
Hey guys,
So, I managed to find some rope, woopie.
Now, I do not want to make the burried loop at the end that goes around your hammock, I want to use a simple but sturdy knot to make a loop...
I think I found Dyneema rope: http://www.cordage.be/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=dyneema&search_in_description=1
Which kind should I take? It seems called spectra, but I understood they are...
So, I've been waiting for a while now, have they changed the suspension yet on the hammocks? I understood nobody likes them, and as I'm ot a handyman, I wouldn't want to mess around with this too...
Is this by any chance indicated on the packaging? Whether rope is hollow core or not?
Hey guys,
I went looking for non stretch rope to set up my 'one tree' hammock thingy (to make sure the stand doesn't trip over), and also for some rope that I could use as a whoopie sling.
I...
Well I had my first try at this, and while I think the bipod is OK, my cord apparantly has STRETCH and memory, really awful!
Will go and find myself a good rope tomorrow, hopefully that'll work....
Hey guys, does anyone know a number of UK or European stores that have whoopie slings available by any chance? Not that the US price is too high, but the shipping makes them too expensive lol. I went...
Sorry for digging up an older post, but, this is AWESOME.
I have a garden FULL of trees, but none that are at the correct distance to ut a hammock in between, pure torture really.
I have just...
Got myself a Decathlon tarp on the cheap, but am really liking this thing! The weight is OK, as long as you do not carry the poles they supply with them (WAY heavy). The material seems to be just...
What an excellent idea, I will certainly give this a try! Velcro straps, should be wiedely available in nearly any hardware store I'd say?
Hey lads,
I bit the bullet and got myself the above mentoined tarp, it is rather cheap at 19 GBP, depending where you live I suppose.
In any case, I had been oogling this thing for a while now,...
Thank you, seems the loop is made different in this one indeed. Many thanks, a knot I will not easily forget :-)
Same story here :-) Except I still have that hammock, I quite like it, nothing wrong with it for summer camping. And, what really got me going were Shug's youtube vids (I just noticed he is on this...
Hard to say in Dollars as it keeps going nuts, but let's say about 50 EUR ? The budget could go much higher, but I really do not go camping like many of you, I almost exclusively camp during the...
Wow guys, excellent, I wake up to an oasis of information and answers :-)
Well, I ordered a figure 9 carabiner version, as I'll hook that to the line that would also be attached to my pack. I...
Any difference betwee the 'carabiner' (i.e. with a gate), and the normal earlier version figure 9 without a gate (door)?
Thanks!!
Edit: ow Bomber, what a great link :-) Muchos gracias
Well, I'm new, and when I look around, my set-up sure is lacking...
I mostly do one nighters, mostly due to lack of time, but truly enjoy when I get to go out.
My set-up currently is a 'bayer...
Hey all,
I'm new here, and got introduced to hammock camping about a year ago by this very forum. I had never considered doing it until I read about it here.
As it is my first post, I'll start...
