Ordered the 1/8 stuff from West Marine. Should be g2g after it arrives.

Thanks for the help. 1/8 sounds good to me...I'd rather have a little more peace of mind for not much more in weight/price.

7/8? According to the chart I was looking at, that has an average strength of 90,800 pounds! I assume you meant 7/64 which is rated at 1,600 pounds.

I want to put together a cord based suspension. I'm planning on getting Amsteel Blue. I weight in the 270's currently so I figure in the hammock I'll have around 300 pounds total. What size cord...

I've wondered about this topic...being new to hanging I've thought about how secure I'd feel just out there hanging in space with just a tarp. Coming from tents, I kind enjoyed the ostrich with it's...

Interested in the tarp pending answers to above questions.

I have room in my cellar but there's too many spiders so I'll pass. No trees in the yard either. Gotta wait until I can get in the woods or over to my mom's house to try out my new WBBB. The wait...

FOUND! Thanks phred!

I'm definitely new to all this, but the quilts I have been looking at have been within an ounce or two of each other when comparing TQ and UQ of the same temp rating.

Thanks, and thanks for the hammock. Since there wasn't a FS thread to leave feedback, I'll do it here. I bought a very slightly used WBBB 1.7 from phred3512. Communication was great, shipped fast,...

Dang man...glad to see you're back at it. I watched your first couple videos a while back and thought they were great then they stopped. Happy to see you are still hiking and making a return to...

Yeah, definitely a beautiful area. Should be a great hike.

WBBB 1.7 DL has been ordered! Can't wait to give it a try. Still need a tarp and insulation, but I don't plan to do much overnight stuff right not anyways. Not until the weather starts to get a...

I just plan to get out as much as I can and I am really hoping to spend a week or so on the AT...not sure the section, probably something in VA/WV/MD. Ultimate goal is to thru hike it in the next 5...

Figured I'd try to get one here first before ordering a new one. Money is tight, so any savings I can get is good.

Fantastic thread. My plans for an AT thru hike are in the works but won't be reality for at least several years unfortunately. But that gives me lots of time to research and gain experience so I am...

Mine speaks for its self...lol

I'll absolutely post up thoughts and pics once I decide and order the setup. I thought maybe getting an ENO just because they are cheap and trying that around the house before committing to an...

Thanks yet again...I love this place. I've been watching Shugs' videos and they have been great. I think that I am strongly leaning towards the BB 1.7. Seems to have everything I need. Strong, light...

Thanks again everyone!

Thanks for the heads up WV on the hike...I'm going to try and hit that up. It's less than an hour from me so it will be cool to get out there and meet some new folks. I am...

Looks great. Pretty close to me...45 minutes maybe. Never been there though. I'd love to join if my schedule allows.

Thanks for the welcome and suggestions. After some reading, my head is still swimming by the way, I have come up with three options that look like they may be good ones.

The Warbonnet Blackbird...

Just wanted to say hi. New to backpacking and overnighters. I would love to try hanging...been reading and now my head is swimming. It seems like there is so much to it...not sure where to start or...
