I recently ordered both and they are very similar in size however the Exped Stuffsack is smaller thus the mat is a more compatible package. I...

What a great day hike in a beautiful and historic area. It is amazing how the Japanese built those shrines high up in the mountains. The intricate...

Thanks Twistytee. I'll report on it. Hope to spend a few nights on the trail soon.

In my younger years I solo hiked form the bottom to the top of Mt Mitchel twice, once from Carolins Hemlock Campground and once from the other one on...

Very nice! Thanks for sharing. This post had me looking back at your others. I have now added “backpacking Japan” to my bucket list.

That is very impressive hiking over some challenging terrain! People not familiar with hiking think 2 mph sounds slow, but as an average for a...

There is an Avenza map for Grayson Highlands - it shows the trail to the water source that is about half way up from the Elk Garden labeled as Deep...

Thanks y'all. The Onewind isn't mesh. I believe its a rip stop type of fabric? Either way it sounds like it will work.

Can’t recommend hiking up M from the campground at the base except just as a workout. Ton of elevation gain, no views until the top when you share it...

I have deleted a number of posts from this thread. These items cannot be sold individually from this thread as there are more than 3 items listed. ...

PopcornFool, good recap of my views on this as well. Although when we're talking about our beloved (:laugh:) teensy UL packs the difference between...

So lusciously green! Thanks for sharing

The Terminator saw the post and said we will try and make it this time as we could make it last year Newly weds

Yeah, normally Rick posts that for us, but no pressure or anything, Rick.:scared:

Awww Bill - quit being so hard on yourself! �� I’ve had Bill’s BGBH for a few years now and swear by it. I’m 6’ and 265 and a side sleeper. Not...

Not to derail slowhikes thread, but I’m planning on doing the Black Mountain Crest Trail this summer or early fall. Likely with a hang at Deep Gap. I...

Have you tried a 12ft length? I found that a longer hammock made for a more comfortable sleep. While there are sometimes limits with fabric width,...

Welcome from Durham. I’m a big dude at 6’4” and 260lbs, and I use a symmetrical single layer Hexon 1.6 for my main backpacking hammock. But I like...

I think it helps having some elasticity so when moving around in the hammock the UQ has some give. The line locks hold the shock cord just fine. I...

And in case anyone is wondering ... I have the Thunderfly and it also fits back in the stuff sack with all the accouterments inside my mesh snake...

Thanks Twistytee. I thought the size would match, I just wasn't sure if the elasticity of the shock cord would keep it from getting a good bite.

Yes it does, as Twisty said. I do not know onewind, I own a dutchware 2 pieces snakeskin and both fit into the original stuff sack. Although I use...

Indeed! I’ve never done it, but I understand the hike up Mount Mitchell is a challenge. Still, the temperatures up top only occasionally get above...

Some hammock campers will elect to stay at Yates both Friday and Saturday nights. When we get back from figure8 loop, we will share pix and stories...

Both my partial UQ and full length fuse 1/8 shock cord with line lock 3 at the channel ends and I like the ability to fine tune as well. Line lock 3...
