Sorry busy there for a bit! Great suggestions everyone I like the KISS principle cause I fit the stupid category. It's been full on winter storms here last few days so no chance to try out the new...
Nice post... I guess I'll have to learn how to sew. My problem is there's a good possibility on the trip I may have to go to the ground here and there and I'll need to carry a pad anyways. Also with...
I'll give that angle thing a shot too... I ended up having the straps up to maybe 5'9" or so by the time I wasn't sure what to do anymore and just laid in it. It wasn't uncomfortable but I don't want...
I'm going to guess about... 13ish feet. I have other backyard tree's. I'll plug into that calculator and see what my distance should be.
Thanks folks
Reposted with upright pictures sorry about that.
I need some advice I am definitely doing something wrong. I just got my DB Double 1.0 oz camo. Hung it up in the back yard today I figure I got my angles wrong and I'm not sure what I did wrong. I...
Hummm... Perhaps you have an idea for dangerbird 2.0. I am waiting on mine still but a cover that zips out for the summer months seems like a good idea if it can be done without adding too much...
Great job! Can't wait
Thanks everyone I just purchased docterusa's DB that he was selling! Thanks for all the advice seems like this one will work well for me.
I just bought it!
Thank you very much!
I don't know how to edit the title so MODS please close thread! Or can anyone tell me how to change the title?
Payment sent on the DB
Sorry to hear of your health issues your gear will be well used. Thank you for your prompt e-mails.
I'll take the dangerbird subject to questions via pm
What's the packed size difference between the 10 and 11" and the wider hammock?
Also will the 11" fit under a superfly?
I am going to be buying a db in the near future (when I can afford it)
I am looking for size suggestions from you guys. I am 5'11" 230lb, shoulders just over 23.5". I am not a weight weenie...
You got it! Now I'm mostly motorcycle camping. I can see myself getting into back packing in the future and someday upgrading. But for now weight isn't the issue more the size.
Also I like I can...
Wow that was quick, this is the answer I got from Elessar:
zip lock bags for smaller items and trash bags for larger ones, maybe doubled or more
I wasn't far off. That's what I have been doing...
I just PM'ed him the same thing... I was thinking a grocery store bag HAHAHA
Good deal!!
Ill take the superfly!!!
Motorcycle trip through alaska and the northwest territories getting to the end of the tree line. Should be a good test of northern tree's and will see how the hammock holds up...
I think most people agree dridown is really designed for humid conditions, light drizzle, minor water exposure and condensation. I know the product claims more but let's face it wet = cold. For me I...
I just picked up a great deal on a zissou dridown 15 sleeping bag. I was looking at UGQ but I couldn't turn down the deal. It's 600 fill down which will do great for now and in the future when I can...
Well I think I might just rough it. I think I'll save on pack weight and just use the tarp alone. When I was 14 I would camp just under a piece of plastic and a piece of blue foam in a sleeping bag...
Actually at 1248 I said I would take the bb and the Phoenix but someone hit post while I was typing and got the bb. It's all good though its just a piece of gear ill get it next time :) camping trip...
It's cool big red you can have it. I was debating between the 20 or 40 degree anyways also it would have worked better to combine items shipping to Canada. So makes more sense you to take it.
That's fine I thought I was being clear I was taking the Phoenix and missed out on the wbbb and calling second dibs on it but it'll be cheaper for you to ship to big red so I will concede my dibs in...
I'm looking for a DB 1.1oz Double Layer. I would prefer it in Camo but I am open to colours. The 10 foot and the regular width is what I prefer as well... but I'm open to offers.
Just a FYI I am...
HAHAHHA looks like it was purchased while I typed my response, congrats! Great deal
Edit: Ofcourse if it falls through DIBS!
Price is too good to resist I was going with Dangerbird but if your willing to ship to Canada I'll take BB and the Pheonix
Waited till the last minute but I pulled the trigger on the superfly in Camo. Didn't think I was going to order Camo but no regrets on the decision, despite the slightly higher price tag. So there we...
So would you suggest just a ground pad for under the hammock? Thinking protection plus waterproof?
Well for the tree situation I think I will be able to make it without going to ground. I can say when I was up there the tree's are certainly big enough further down south only when you get close to...
Experiencing same issue for iphone very frustrating... maybe an app is in order?
Law Dawg I had not seen those before or even heard of them. Very glad you turned me on to these cause otherwise I was looking at snake skins but this is a far superior option. For anyone who doesn't...
Hello all! Through my readings I got some good information on ix under quilts seems they are light, cheap, and fairly packable and provide good insulation but act as somewhat of a vapour barrier. So...
Ill take the thermarest pm sent
Seems like a neat product but I think I might look for something different. Might not be the best product suited for me at this point. I am too rookie to go with this I think. I might try the DIY...
I am looking at the Wenger sleeping bag from sierra trading post. I know most people on here are big topquilt fans and I like the idea but I'm trying to get all my equipment on a budget but still...
:) That's why I am asking about it. I wanted true opinions though not necessarily just the sellers opinion.
Still unsure how I feel about it though... Seems like a neat idea just not sure if it's...
Hey Law Dawg, I think I've seen you on another forum good to see your a hanger too
I agree with the compress small to pack stuff. Nothing worst then overloading my KLR with lots of bulk I really...
Excellent point... I didn't think of that.
I am wondering if anyone can tell me anymore about the light hiker bedroll. I get the idea it's basically a top quilt that's made out of some material? But I don't get what the material is or if it's...
Ill take the kelty if your willing to ship to Canada
If bsolomon falls through second dibs. Very nice of you this is a really great forum.
I'm in, thanks!
I am in sir! Thanks
I'm in! Thank you
Well... I have a KLR 650 and my back rack is a small rubbermaid action packer and I then have small side bags made by EXL.... Yep I'm cheap but the rubbermaid container is 8 gallons and all my...
I'm seriously considering a dangerbird. I was looking at WBBB but I love the feature of the dangerbird winter cover so...
Any suggestions on the best tarp to go with it. I was looking along the...
With or without the MSR fuel bottle?
