just got the camping hammock. looks nice, and the shipping was FAST.

Have a Claytor Camping Hammock coming in the mail...the waiting begins.

pm sent...

how many times has it been used?

how cheap can I make a tyvek tarp? $30? If so, I can get the claytor camping hammock and make the tarp and spend $100 or less.

im thinking of the expedition hammock and a tarp instead of the jungle. is claytor's small tarp for $50 a good deal?

does it come with a bugnet and rainfly?

I tried the hammock last night. It was a piece of junk, but I did like it better than sleeping in a tent. I am not really set on a Claytor, but I do think that they are what I want. I don't like the...

too late. i got the $8 walmart one. thanks though.

I want to buy a hammock at walmart to see if I like hammock camping. It is made of the woven cords, and so it is not ideal, but it is cheap and readily available and I'm going tomorrow night. Another...

the reason that we cannot go with our parents is because his folks are working, my dad is in geneva, and my mom doesn't want to go...so it's the only way. But we are going to do some weekend trips...

okay. thanks.

I want a double layer hammock, with attached bug net, and tarp. I do not have much money since I am a student. Thanks.

if i push on farther how will i pick up my gear that they carry in the buses? i was planning on stayin in centralia because of that delema. i dont want to risk it though. i know that tents are not...

I signed up for Seattle to Portland last night. Bummer that I have to use a tent.

the are no nols courses for my age gruop (14-15) or 16-17. bummer..

in the park.

oh... i did not know that. i get it. thanks for the help.

thanks riverkeeper! I have heard a bit about NOLS, and will take a look at their programs. Have you had any experience with "Mountain Madness" expedition company. If you have read Into Thin Air,...

oops, the czechs didn't even qualify, so not as big of a crowd.

I am looking at a guided trek that is 5 days long in the same area. I caould do it, but as this would summit mt. oulympus, I need a ton of new gear. Guess its time to talk to the "'rents" Otherwise I...

shoot... my friend bailed on me. what do you guys think about going on a few overnights by myself? or going on a mountain madness expedition to mt. olympus.

Is the snow pic. the Grand Canyon? Nice scenery.

i need a structural ridgeline. Would it work in the same way?

I have been looking at various tom claytor hammocks such as the mosquito and jungle hammock. It has all of the features like bugnet and double layer, except for a ridgeline. I have also been reading...

i used the websites that you guys mentioned. for a double layer hammock with a bugnet and the blackcat tarp, its $105. Is this reasonable. For this price, is there any setup with double layer,...

would it really save that uch to make it all myself versus buy the speer kit? how good are speer hammks?

any suggestions? What's the best place? Thanks.

will it be hard for us minors to get baccountry and camping permits?

alright. i went to the campin' shop today and talked to the guys there. they said the same things.

i'll be sure to read the book. I'm going to use the list as a guideline, replacing weights with weights for my gear. then I'll need to calculate the amount of space it will take for all of my items....

i do not have the gear sorted out so much. maybe i should sort that out first...

this will be in the summer. it will be about 20 deg. f at night. We are planning to start at lake Mills area and hike to mt. olympus, then on to the Hoh Rainforest. We are covering most of the types...

i also was looking at the arcteryx altra its 80 litres. if youve read backpacker magazine then you know how they raved about it. is 80 liters enoguh versus 110.

alright, im doing the trip. it wil be 10-12 days. fro oylmpic national park, how large of a pack will i need? ive been looking at the osprey argon 110. how many litres of space will i need?

im not alone on this trip...

i have backpacked by myself in the presence of adults. they were around, but I had to rely on myself to do everything.

i will be going in july, so snow is not as much of an issue. I have been hiking in Olympic National Park since I was 3 years old. i live in phoenix and go to Washington every summer. I have hiked...

and I got the tickets for free from a friend!!!

Yes, but my buddy refuses to accept hammocks as a viable option, so if the tarp is bad, I can go in his tent. I may just buy a tarp to minimize that risk.

I've been talking to my parents, and they are sort of okay with it. My friend and I have a fair bit of backcountry experience, and we can do it. But, to test out backpacking alone, our parents...

I'm 15 and my friend is 16 and weare planning a trip to olympic national park this summer. it will be a one week camping trip by oursleves. Is this reasonable, do we need parents, if so, we cannot go.

Baer Grylls is not cool enough for hammocks, he's a phony. Check this out. He ain't hangin.

Europe is a great place. I live in the Czech Republic during the summer, and go to Germany often. I went to the World Cup Final in 2006 in Berlin for soccer **football**.If you don't remember, it's...

Okay, how can I make a cheap UQ?

The 0 degree bag is filled with Primaloft. If it is hot, I can compress the air in it, if cold, make it expand with more air.

Thanks, but there is no way to attach it to the thick wooden posts on a 4-poster bed?

I've found that my hammock is more comfortable than my bed, and want to use a hammock for sleeping in place of my bed in my room. How to I rig a setup to do that? It has to fit in my 10' by 12' room....

Alright, thanks oldgringo for the help. Much appreciated.

Is the jungle hammock breathable? I'm in Southern Ontario, in Quetico Provincial Park, so it will be very humid.

Okay, I'm almost sold on the Claytor Mosquito hammock with the small rainfly. It's $120, sturdy and good. Has anyone used this hammock? Is it comfortable? Do you lie down diagonally?
