The UQ has been sold!
Surely some one out there wants to try an IX underquilt. If you think my price is too high, send me a PM or an e-mail with an offer.
How about $95 shipped?
EDIT: Sold!
I'm selling a Baby Orca underquilt (http://stores.tttrailgear.com/-strse-50/Molly-Mac-Gear-Baby/Detail.bok). It is 3/4 length and uses Insultex and should keep you warm down to at least 40F. It would...
Not a Heineken pot, but this guy started making Foster's cans with ridges for sale:

He should be rolling out some cut-down sizes soon too.
The PDF below is the best information I've found on lightning safety in the backcountry. It is written by some one at NOLS and I found it posted on HikeArizona.com
One arrow shaft might not work, but 2 or 3 bound together maybe? Not sure what the point would be then.
rcfoam.com has a wide selection of carbon fiber tubes (all a meter long though and I'm not...
Tarp is sold
I'm selling a Warbonnet Mamajamba Tarp in Olive Brown with panel pulls. The tarp is really more of a dark green and is in excellent condition. I have only used the tarp once and have not seam sealed...
It's beautiful...way to go!:thumbup:
How low do you think you'll be able to go with it?
Welcome to Hammock Forums! I'm from Tucson as well.
I've heard of people using a small fan for hangin' in the heat, but it's been so hot lately I might just have to wait for it to cool down. I'm...
My 55 lb dog sleeps right under my hammock on a 1/8'' Gossamer Gear thinlight pad and a mini fleece blanket if it's cold. I fill her dog backpack up with some rocks and water bottles and leash her to...
Cool hammock - looks comfortable but seems like it would be difficult to get into.
What kind of tarp would work with this style hammock? I'd think the tarp length between trees could be reduced...
The Hammock Gear quilt is probably going to be the lightest and highest quality quilt you can find for about $200. If you're looking to save a little more, this GoLite quilt might be a good option:

I really like my 1.1 Single Traveler. It is my first and only hammock, and after I spent some time learning how to hang it properly, I find it to be really comfortable. I'm 5'6'' and 160 lbs and have...
Goosefeet also makes a good pillow - I have the medium with 2.5 oz of down and it's great:

You might be able to talk to him about doing a custom pillow...
Sorry man, that can be frustrating. That has not been my experience with Tree to Trail Gear though.
I ordered a Baby Orca IX UQ from them on Sunday and I got an e-mail this morning saying it...
Hi Jay, I recently made the switch to hammocks too. I ended up with a 1.1 single layer Traveler from Warbonnet which I'd recommend if you're trying to keep it light. After learning how to hang it, I...
Really interesting and simple idea. I'd be concerned about tearing the space blanket too, but like you said, the emergency bivy might be more durable. How do you think a windshield screen...
Neat idea - I'm really interested in how it turns out for you. Good luck!
Got mine today - they look cool and seem plenty strong! They only weigh about 0.1 - 0.09 oz for the pair. Unfortunately, I can't actually use them yet because I forgot my tree straps on some trees up...
I'll take a black set - will send you a PM and send the funds via paypal in a couple minutes.
Success at last! I turned the hammock upside down as per the above suggestion and with my first pitch, everything felt great :D I'm really not sure why it feels so different but it's a lot better. My...
That sounds pretty accurate. I feel that if the middle fabric of the hammock was looser (or the sides tighter) then it would lay perfectly. I have tried laying in it with my head end higher than the...
Do you remember anything in particular that you changed to make it work?
I can't figure out why the head side is so floppy. It seems that in many hammock pictures, the sides of the hammock kind...
Well I tried several different hangs this afternoon - I tried making the strap angles higher, making my ridgeline shorter, setting one end higher than the other, and laying at different diagonals -...
Hi all, this is my first post on Hammock Forums! I decided to give hammocking a try after I realized that I like everything about backpacking except sleeping on the uncomfortable ground. So after...
