I am going to head out there rain or shine. I am coming from Gainesville and plan to get there around 1:30-2.

I was just thinking about going there myself. Are you still planning on hanging out there?
I was trying to make a similar decision for months. I saved up for a long time because I thought the WBBB XLC was the one for me, but so many people loved their DreamHammocks. I met the Smurfs in...
I have the same problem. I purchased mine and kept checking the status and mine finally shipped (order #4999)! I will get mine on Monday March 27th and I can't wait. It's my first "real" hammock...
I will take the Jarbridge
If you are using a pad, I don't see a need to also use the underquilt. I recommend saving up for something like the jarbridge witch runs about $100.
woot.com is selling the Twisted Root Big Mozzie hammock right now for $30. I have one and I think it is a great starter hammock. It's a 10' diamond ripstop hammock with an integrated bugnet. I have...
I'm looking at the Dream Hammock DangerBird and the Warbonnet Blackbird XLC. I'm having a really tough time making a final decision though.
That's funny, I was just looking at one hovering over the Add to Cart button myself. I can't decide if I want to buy that now or get a new hammock first.
I hiked from the picnic area past the creek site around to bluff, about 5 miles or so. I called last minute to get a reservation at the challenge site and everything in the whole park was full. The...
It is Rock Bluff. I wish Torreya was a bit closer to where I live. I think it is probably one of the best state parks in Florida.

I have the twisted Root Big Mozzie hammock and was fairly impressed with the quality for a $30 woot.com hammock (I wrote up a review of it a bit ago) so when I saw the Twistd Root Flare underquilt on...
I may try to drive down for an hour or two Friday afternoon to see what all the fuss is about and check out the vendors. Do I need to sign up if I am just stopping by for a bit? Unfortunately I have...
I weighed the included suspension and it came out to 2.9 oz. If the weight from the manufacturer is accurate then the setup would weigh 21.26 oz without the included suspension. I don't really want...
I don't have an accurate scale at the moment, so I can't give you a good weight on it. I will see if we have a postage scale at work and let you know.
I wanted to take a minute to give a quick review of the Twisted Root Big Mozzi hammock I picked up on woot not too long ago for $30.

I guess the plus side of that was that I was able to see the sunrise. I'm guessing they were pulling up crab traps so they were out there for quite a while. ...
Nope, just rednecks in boats blasting their music.

My cheap hammock has a bug net but I kept it tied back until the breeze died down around 10 pm.

That's what I ended up going with. No more flapping but I can put the one side back out if I need to if the weather changes (this is Florida after all). Great view and nice breeze. Thanks for the...
True, this is Florida. I don't want to be the next Floridaman.

It does make the view much nicer

I'm out on a quick overnight trip right now and I'm hanging at a conservation area on a river. There is a steady breeze coming off the river making my diamond rainfly flap about a bit. I'm supposed...
I agree that this is not the best solution, i just wanted to make something out of things I have around the house. I would never take this on a backpacking trip where I had to hike more than 2 or 3...
I somehow got a second wrap on the parachord around the biner by accident and noticed the friction made it so that I could make adjustments and they would stay. I guess it's what Bob Ross would call...
I'm honestly not sure yet, I made it in about 10 minutes last night and haven't had a chance to really test it out. I just sprayed my hammock down with permethrin so I should be able to sleep in it...
I have seen some ridgeline fans made from computer fans and since it is so hot here in Florida I decided to make one of my own. Luckily I had everything I needed already.
...
My current hammock is 10' but I plan to upgrade at some point in the future possibly to the blackbird xlc.
I am having a tough time making a decision on a tarp. I recently bought a kelty noah 12 and returned it because it was just too big and heavy. I know I will need to spend about $100 to get a decent...
I was hoping to join you guys for summer's last gasp hang, but unfortunately I have my kids that weekend and they are definitely not campers. Hopefully there will be another group hang soon.
Thanks for all of the feedback! I don't feel so bad about purchasing this tarp now. Eventually I may make my own hex tarp once I have more time (and I get over my fear of sewing silnylon).
I guess snow and negative temps aren't a concern for me. I'm a noob so I'm honestly not sure how much of a concern blowing rain is either. I was hoping to save a little room and weight eventually...
I have a 10' Hammock and I just ordered a 12' Kelty Noah's Tarp for $55. I am wondering if I made a mistake buying such a big tarp. I live in Florida and was concerned with keeping dry in the many...
I am wanting to get out there but was not liking the idea of doing it in the heat. Maybe I should just do it anyway. I am up for a trip the weekend of August 20th since I won't have my kids and my...
mine is Xs for eyes, like in cartoons when they die and their eyes turn to Xs. I have been using it online for over 20 years so back then character counts mattered so I made it as short as possible -...
I have have an inexpensive hammock that is similar to the Yukon Outfitters mosquito hammock and I want to add a ridgeline that runs inside the mosquito net. Should I melt a hole in the mosquito...
It looks just like it but the quality seems much better. The material is better, the zips are better and the hardware is better and it is 1'3" longer. I have already put whoppie slings on it but I...
I just got a Twisted Root hammock with mosquito net from woot.com for $30. It looks like the Yukon Outfitters mosquito hammock they were selling but after it arrived today it seems to be a bit better...
