    Hammock Forums is a Family-Friendly Site - No Profanity, No Flaming 


    Hammock Forums is a family friendly site. This means that our topics, language and treatment of each other are what you'd want your kids to see. We're not a bunch of prudes...we just think that the internet has enough places where that behavior is tolerated, and this particular site shouldn't be one of them. This is a great community where the norm is to support others in their ideas and projects, and not assume offense where none is intended...and therefore not to flame, call names, or create friction in our threads. Respectful disagreement is ok; disrespectful comments are not.

    Please participate in accordance with these guidelines, and PM the mods with any questions.

    Religion and the Holidays on HF 


    Just a friendly reminder of HF's Terms of Service re: discussing religion and politics on this forum. It's not allowed.

    I thought a reminder would help us stay focused. Applying the TOS to the holidays, it's ok to wish folks Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Solstice, Kwanzaa or whatever...but discussions about the religious aspects of the holidays will be removed. We're here to discuss hammocks, so if you have strong feelings about religion and the holidays, please find another forum to discuss them.

    Political and Military Posts on Hammock Forums 

    Published on 03-15-2014 02:22

    Hammock Forums has always had a strict rule against political and religious posts. This has normally applied to issues that most members can agree are contentious...gun rights and carry laws, differences in religion, political elections and candidates, etc. As we've said several times, this isn't about First Amendment rights but about keeping this particular site respectful and on-topic.

    Orange Screws not holding...help

    I would second the boom stakes.

    I had a hell of a time getting the orange stakes to hold in the soil in my backyard with the Tensa Solo.

    Orange Screws not holding...help

    Another option might be military antenna stakes, V shaped which is what I use. Also, try bringing extra cordage to tie off to natural features. My last

    Best ultralight setup?

    My two UL hammocks are a Cloud .71 netless for non-buggy locations (4.5 ounces), or a Trailheadz Banshee UL (11.1 ounces) for buggy situations.

    Bottom quilt vs pad?

    I have used a pad AND a quilt in my double layer Warbonnet Ridgerunner to get it down to -6 F. The pro for the pad is the extra structure it provides

    Bottom quilt vs pad?

    I've been using a thermarest ridgerest to supplement my quilts when it's really cold out and I seem to always bring it with me at least until summer comes.
