UL Winter Hammock

[chiefams]

Traveler offers a cadillac lay and is very light. single layer 1.1 with line strap is 12.5 oz, you could lose a couple ounces by switching to whoopies or ucr and use straps without hardware

Spinn Edge tarp with door kit 15.45 oz

Speer?

WB Traveler and amsteel whoopies--tried and true BUT
there is a cuben gathered end maybe soon to be on the market--3.5 ounces without suspension.
The GrizBridge sub one pound hammock (with cf spreaders) and you already have a Mt.Washington which is PERFECT for almost any bridge.
Winter tarp-Warbonnet with doors, spinnUL.. or the King of all tarps, the McCat Ultra in spinnUL with the TQ/ZQ pole mod and doors.
With a Traveler get an Unsponsored sock no matter what else you do.

GrizBridge in search brings me to here, any other info on it.
Unsponsored sock, no clue on this, but i'm interested.

i was thinking same thing, but site seems to be messed up.

For the suspension the lightest out there to my knowledge (which isn't much) is Opie's Dynaglide Whoopies! Couple that with the GT Nano and that's SUL, you mentioned needing a ridgeline you can get a adjustable whoopie ridgeline from Opie, all this can be made to your needs by him! Add a spinn tarp and add the 2QZQ doors would be a great set-up!

i bought a Grand Trunk Ultralight to try out. too short for me only left 16" at each end ,but for $20 great to throw in the kayak.



so i ordered a WB Traveler today.

dynaglide whoppies are lighter than amsteel. Cuben hammock form mountainfitter -> 4oz. Cuben tarp/oes micro. Nacrabiners made with dynaglide instead of biners. Hardwareless tarp setup using nacras/prussics where needed. Swap out heavy stakes for 6g vargo ti stakes. Use sharpened trail sticks as stakes for your hammock if yoru hammock has side tieouts. I could go on, but you get the idea.

MLD has a cuben tarp, the HEX...very light but you get good real estate with it

2011 Jan and Feb i'm doing 500 mi.+ on AT ( mt.rogers>>>> north). i want to cut my base weight. i have Mt Wash 4 UQ and Rocky Mountain Sniveler w/hood ( been down below 0 with these). i like my UL HH Explorer, but why carry a bug net and all those zippers. my challenge to yous guys is this.....
lightest bug less hammock (with ridge line or HH similar diagonal sleeping)
lightest suspension
and lightest winter tarp

the quilts are 3.5 lb. i want my winter base to be below 10. my pack is 1 lb. cooking gear is 9 oz.

i do not DIY., but have fun with this. any ideas or thought would be great.

It is possible to have a netless JRB Bear Mtn Bridge come in at sub 16 oz...Bonus, is a true lay flat, lay straight lay... Second bonus, is that existing zero degree JRB quilts are a perfect fit.
