View Full Version : First Time in the 250
I put up my brandie new Clark 250 camping with the scouts a little while back. I loved it. I'm still fiddling a bit with figuring out how to set it up. So far just using all stock equipment except for some Nite-Ize clips on the tarp.

Enjoy! Did you use the pockets at all?
Great post! Thanks for the pictures.
now that is what I like to see . . . photos of a Clark NX series.
It helps while I wait for my 150
Thanks for that.
I love pictures of the good old Clarks as well. I have a few posted if you check out my gallery.:)

A little, flashlight & reading glasses on the inside & I slipped my hard-cover book into the outside pocket when I was done reading at night. I only had to get up once in the middle of the night (Scout was yelling 'cause he had to go to the bathroom & couldn't wake up his buddy) and it was so much nicer than crawling out of my Hennessy... I think I'm in love.

Excellent photo's. If you don't mind my asking, what kind of UQ is that?

Granted:
Here is a link to the KAQ New River Webpage.
KAQ UQ's:http://arrowheadequipment.webs.com/apps/webstore/products/show/945132
They are now produced by Paul at AHE. I have one from before Paul bought out Kick *** Quilts and one that he makes. I use them with my NX-200 as a TQ and UQ. Check out my avatar to see the UQ(pre-AHE).
I'm a little slow replying.:eek: Bigbamaguy has it nailed; it's a KAQ New River. Works really well. I'm really new to hanging, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I do know it kept my fat little "buttocks" nice and toasty.:rolleyes:

Nice setup, can't wait to get mine!

This is my first year in a 250 and the more I use the hammock the more I seem to use the pockets. Also, Mac's IX quilt has been working fantastically with the 250. I route it up over the tabs that hold the spreader poles which makes the ends VERY airtight. I also think the pockets will lower the temp rating with any UQ. I'm very happy with my pockets.
