New hanger from Louisiana

[Melancon]

What a great forum, I have been trolling as a guest for a little while and finally decided to pull the trigger on a Clark TX270 with 1/8" amsteel whoopies with whoopie hooks, Dutch clips, 7' tree huggers, and 1/8" amsteel continuous loops...hoping the gear is as legit as the reviews led me to believe.

This is my first hammock and figure buy once cry once. Anyway thanks from Louisiana!

being from that part of the country, I hope you have plans for a really nice mosquito net

I am prying the built in net will work, Mosquitoes in my area are likely to carry you away if they want a snack to go!. I keep hearing about Permethrin. Any info on the stuff or proper mixing?

I haven't used it hammock camping, but I'm a big believer in a thermacell - maybe worth a purchase.

Welcome to the addiction but as far as addictions go this one isn't a bad one. I see you have found Dutch. If you haven't Arcady found Shug's videos I would suggest looking form them.

Yeah this isn't too bad, I do a LOT with firearms so this is a little cheaper thank God. I did happen to run across Shugs videos on accident before I found the forum. Hes seems legit and has tons of info.

You can order it from Amazon in several varieties. I found it at Academy Sporting Goods in a pump bottle, brand name Sawyer. I am trying it next weekend at Sipsey. Got the pump bottle for simplicity.

I was looking into permethrin but the thermacell seems to be a simple solution, no mixing or dipping....think ill talk my buddy into getting the permethrin so I can see if it ruins his hammock and clothes while I try out the safe thermacell lol. Thanks for the info on it.

No problem, I'd just set it up under the hammock I think and let the run while I slept. maybe like under your butt or mid-section area. . .
