another +1 on the Nite Ize MoonLit. Took it with me this fall on my trip to WCPP in Canada. Worked perfectly. It's small, doesn't get in the way, provides enough light without being obnoxious.

Bigger is better. I'm a tall guy and like my tarp up very high (don't like ducking under) and I also don't want wind/weather blowing underneath and soaking my UQ so I asked hammock gear to enlarge...
Agreed... another use for the duct tape this trip. Anybody got any good suggestions for covering the points to protect the tarp that work really well?
Here's my trip report from the Winds that my friend and I took last year. It's spectacular out there. We didn't do the mileage you're looking for, however it wouldn't be too hard to pull of if you're...
I have one I'd be willing to sell. It's in great shape and I'm wanting to upgrade to the winter palace. PM me with a reasonable offer if you are interested. Here is a picture 137892
My hiking buddy poked a hole in his cuben standard with doors last year in the Winds (which we repaired with duct tape). He sent it off to HG and they repaired it. Then he poked a hole on the other...
Thanks for all the interest everyone, Curmudgeon made an acceptable offer so the hammock is no longer available.

I have a brand new Warbonnet RidgeRunner that I received as a pastor appreciation gift 2 years ago. I used it 1 time for 1 night and determined i wasn't as comfortable as my gathered end Envy from...
I have a 12' Hammock Gear Cuben fiber standard tarp with doors that I would be willing to sell... trying to upgrade to the winter palace. That tarp was $300 new... if you're interested, send me a...
I have a 12' Hammock Gear Standard Cuben Fiber Tarp with doors and snake skins from MountainGoat that I would be willing to sell as I want to have HG make me a custom tarp that's longer on the sides....
This was taken at Mirror Lake in the The Winds last year.

The Skeeter Beater was my first hammock and served me very well. Used it for 3 years before upgrading to a Hammeck Netty. I was in the very same situation as you... looking for my first hammock, not...
Hi Norm,
I have a brand new WBRR DL that I slept in 1 night thinking I might prefer a bridge hammock over a gathered end hammock. I quickly realized that I was much more comfortable in the...
With the temps so cold, how do you stay warm in the kayak? I very much want to learn to kayak and the thought of doing so in conditions like you experienced fascinates me.
We had that very same thing happen on our trip to the Winds last month. Had a bunch of super high winds and it put a hole right where the pole rubbed against the tarp. Duct tape to the rescue. We've...
What camera did you use to shoot the video? The quality was amazing. Time lapse feature is very impressive. The clarity of the campfire really stood out. Looks like it was a great trip.
I bought a Netty back in the spring and absolutely love it. Took it on a week long trip to the Winds and it performed marvelously. Here's a link to the trip report where you can see some of the...
Thanks so much for posting this. It really helps having someone who's been there confirm good sites for hanging. Adding this location as a possible trip for next year. Great report. Great pics.
Subscribed... looking forward to checking them out.
Hi everyone... here's my first official trip report post on Hammockforums. After doing some initial research on the area, I found fellow forum member BillyBob58 who was very instrumental in giving us...
Here's my Netty hangin' at Mirror Lake in the Winds, WY.

My hiking pal and I are looking at a trip to the Winds the week before labor day. Can you recommend some good trails / sites / routes that are hammock friendly?
I spent two days going back and forth on the color. Should I try to blend into the woods or stand out. I chose to stand out and Hammeck team nailed it. I love this color and totally pleased with the...

My new Netty arrived today. Hung it up quickly tonight for a quick try and I absolutely love it. Can't wait to get some hanging nights in this thing. It's soooo much more comfortable than my...
I ordered mine 2 weeks ago... can't wait for it to get here.
Welcome to the forum. Lots of friendly folks and helpful information here.
Tried out a new hammock last night and thought it would be great to go without a tarp so that I could see the stars as I drifted off to sleep. Got up this morning around 5:30am wet from the dew. I...
This happened to me. Wasn't in the hammock more than 10 minutes when the carbon snapped. I was 270lbs at the time which i'm sure didn't help matters any.
I got hooked watching Shug's videos. Bought a hammock and quickly converted my backpacking partner. Neither one of us ever want to sleep on the ground again.
I have been thoroughly pleased with my Hammock Gear Cuben Fiber Tarp with doors. Withstood a monster rain/hail/snow storm in the Grand Tetons with high winds and never got wet. I can't believe how...
Really enjoyed the video. Love the BWCA
I got a set of these for Christmas. The picture really helps as I was a bit unsure the best way to attach them. Thanks for posting.
Does anyone have any knowledge of the hammockability (new word?) of Big Horn Crags in Idaho? I got my hiking buddy hooked on hammock hanging this year in the BWCA and we have no intention of going...
I was a beginner to hanging as well, but I've been backpacking for years. I bought the HG Cuben tarp with doors and it's worth every single penny to save the weight. It's so light, and with the...
Thanks for taking us along. I just got back from the BWCA last month and your trip report brought back some wonderful memories.
I own one of these pen rods and even with the shortness of length, I was still able to use it as a fly rod. I purchased mine with the mini fly reel. The reel isn't much and the guides on the rod were...
Add me to the list as we'll. Thanks for your generosity.
Looks like a great time and some beautiful country. Do you have more video coming from your next day in camp?
Hadn't thought about the gaiters... thanks for the suggestion.
Yes, there was a lot of wind at times (which could potentially have hampered the poncho's effectiveness on some days) but I found myself sweating profusely inside my rainsuit so I was almost as wet...
Haven't made the purchase just yet but strongly considering this Cuben fiber poncho from zpacks: http://www.zpacks.com/accessories/groundsheet_poncho.shtml
Just got back from a trip to the Grand...
Sorry if I missed it somewhere in there, but what was your final pack weight and which pack did you use... the 30l or the 50l?
Katharina made a set for my HG cuben fiber tarp with doors. They were delivered within a day or two of her finishing them. Fabulous product, top quality. Just got back from a trip to the Grand Tetons...
Paul,
Can you recommend any loops near the Hanson lakes? I'm heading that way with 2 other buddies for a week of backingpacking. We'd like to be out 5 days. Flying in to Boise on 9/14. I was so...
Great picture. I love how you captured that rising perspective.
Would this be one of those sandstone arches you're speaking of? We climbed the Indian Staircase back in January. Can't remember if this was before or after the climb but it was really cool.

Looks like you had an incredibly cool campsite. Has the same look/feel as some trails over here in Powell County.
Many thanks to Adam and Jenny for 2 incredibly well built cuben fiber tarps with doors. Delivery time was right at 4 weeks and they even remembered to throw in some spare tie-line that Adam mentioned...
Welcome Shawn. I'm not too far from you here in Richmond, KY.
