I'm quite happy with my WB SUperfly 11" multicam tarp and Blackbird hammock, but it sure gets hot in the sun! Does anyone sell a silnylon tarp in white or light colors for use in the summer sun?
...

And strong? I had my WBSF out "unmanned" when we had 30mph gusts. The small/light split-ring connecting the tarp-to-line-to-tree pulled open before the tarp ripped. In fact, I find my shock-cords on...

So I put my Closed Cell Foam foot pad in between the inner and outer quilts, and it was much easier to get my feet situated. I did fine at -6F last night. Some frost, but a gap in sock and bugnet by...

I tried adding shockcords to the mini D-rings on my UGQ BQ, but the D-rings pulled loose. No UQ damage - they pulled out without ripping but a few threads.

I'm thinking, as the D-rings attach to...

I stacked my UGQ TQ 50F inside my UGQ TQ 0F and did just that, tying the mini-D-Rings together, snapping the upper corners together, and tying the draw-cords together. After getting out to pee, it's...

Flu got me down - sorry I missed y'all.

I have the WBBB sock - it's nice but doesn't accomodate use of tie-outs on the WBBB. I'm sure it could be mod'ed, but I don't mind minimizing interior space in the winter to keep heatable volume...

I have a 5/8" x 12" x 16" ccf pad I cut for under my feet in a WBBB. It seems to pop out and all around at night. Any ideas to fix it down? Or should I cut a shaped pad segment for the foot pocket?

It seems trivial, so I didn't think to ask until now. Once I climb into my WBBB, I find it difficult to zip the sock and hammock. The foot end zippers are too far away to easily sit up and reach and...

Just picked up a 40F Zeppelin UQ and 50F Flight Jacket TQ from UGQ. At what night temperatures might the combination be too hot?

I finally got to use my WBBB with my UGQ 0F Flight Jacket/Full Length Zeppelin set hanging in the woods last night. Temps were stable 28-30F with light snow and occasional breeze. I had the Travel...

My wife was away so I had duty at home and missed the event. Not the perfect winter weekend, but you get what you get. I had to be happy rigging in the backyard. I'll look forward to the after-action...

The NanoSphere literature appears a bit confusing, but at: http://www.schoeller-textiles.com/uploads/media/nanosphere_e.pdf

• Textiles require less frequent washing and can be washed at lower...

And here is a picture of the UGQ-made UQP on my WBBB with UGQ 0F Full-Length Zeppelin/Flight Jacket set, which fits nicely into my WL Lazy Slug Tube set. If I had taken the picture hanging out in the...

I received my Black Friday 0F Flight Jacket and Full-Length Zeppelin TQ/UQ set and am in the process of installing and adjusting on my WBBB. They are as well made as Mugs noted - fine attention to...

Wondering what Air Permeability measurement is considered breathable in a functional sense for different (QCP, hammock, sock, quilt) purposes. No doubt it's all dependent on temp/humidity, combined...

Just took delivery today of a Multicam UQP made of DWR nylon from UGQ - very nice! They made it to accompany the TQ/UQ pair I ordered on Black Friday. Once they catch up, I bet they can help you out.

Eh - USPS 2-day delivery says elivery today but tracking shows it's only gone 58mi of the trip from MI to NH. Maybe Monday...

Hey All - I'm sure it's mentioned in here somewhere, but how far is the hump from parking to hanging zone? I don't have a decent winter sledge setup yet but can make-do with a plastic sled and rope...

Yeah - if I can get the quilts on and a test drive, I'm in! Looks like a great time.

I've never used such thin line before. A standard taut-line hitch slides, even if using extra hitches. What's a good tensioning knot for these cords?

I find a bowline with 2 half-hitches hold fine...

Brought one, but I'm out of practice. I can pee in a wetsuit while swimming a triathlon or diving (yeah, gross, but you gotta do what you gotta do...always wash afterwards) but not in a hammock yet.

I got my Turtle stand up in the backyard Sunday. I started putting up the Superrfly hanging over the top rail on Sunday but was interrupted by 35F windy rain and ducked inside.

I finally got it...

TDS in progress... Pics coming!

I had Home Depot cut down two 10.5ft fence rails to 6.5ft each for my WBBB. I joined them with a 24" x 1" iron pipe with 2 sheet metal screws on each side. Not...

No - not a better quilt for the money. But an equal quilt a few weeks down the list coming my way! Looking forward to #78/79 :)

Thanks for the comments guys.

Good time to practice the "pee-in-a-bottle" while in a hammock. Might not be a skill fully transferable from ground camping. There must be some threads on hammock...

OK - WBBB single-layer arrived, as well as Travel Sock & Superfly tarp. Parts in hand for a Turtle Stand to put in the yard here in Southern NH. UGQ 0F Top/Bottom Quilts still a few weeks out on...

11/29/13 4pm WWWB & Superfly order just shipped.

So what holds a Loop together? I'm assuming the "Chinese Handcuffs" effect of outer stands tightening over inner stands and friction?

Any information on failure force?

No doubt discussed...

A week before a trip, I spray my feet morning and night with anti-perspirant. It cuts down on my foot sweat and keep my socks and footwear drier. For winter trips, I use antiperspirant cream - it...

Yeah - maybe not such a good idea. Thanks for your thoughts!

I'm wondering if HF has discussed fixing a TQ to a hammock to keep it snug and tucked in while you toss and turn? I'm thinking maybe tie-downs from foot to shoulder on side away from zipper in a WBBB...

I've used a VBL in a sleeping bag at -40F in the Adirondacks on a 10d snowshoe trip whilst sleeping in a snow trench. Barely warm enough, but I hated the tangle of the VBL when I turned.

With...

Thanks y'all - I appreciate the advice.

Just thinking of this myself today.

Either an arc cf pole inside the WBBB, or, if using the Travel Sock, an arc cf pole outside the Travel Sock, with attachments between hammock guys and sock to...

Must be a stupid noobie question, or I phrased it wrong...

If I'm using a sock, when best to use a tarp too, if ever? (WBBB & SuperFly, in particular).

Thanks for your thought guys.

Wondering what thoughts are on using a sock and/or fly and/or UnderQuiltProtector for winter when wind/snow are expected? WB Travel Sock and WB Superfly are my kit. UQP TBD, but of ripstop DWR nylon....

Noobie hanger-yet-to-be here, with question on BlkFri purchases. The discounts pushed me over to finally buy some hanging gear:

1. WBBB 1.9 (Muklticam)
2. WB Superfly (Camo)
3. WB Travel Sock...
