In bed, I normally sleep on my side to lessen the pressure on my lower back. In the hammock, I can sleep comfortably on my back, so I do. I would agree with Rev that you may need to raise the foot...

The most important thing is that he makes a great hammock. Since the Spring I've slept 21 nights in the Blackbird.

I even went today to buy the parts to build a pipe stand a la Ed Speed to hang...

Foot end everything is stuffed into the black bishop bag. Head end the strap is out and wrapped around bag.

I have tried a couple of different options over the past few months.


Number 1 was the shelf of the WBBB. I wound up not liking this due to access issues. Having to reach up and over in an...

Bag as quilt has worked for me down into the lower 30's 20f bag with underquilt. In the high 40's 50's and 60'sI used the same basic bag with a pad. in the 70's it was pad alone and no top cover...

One of the things that I do (besides work and bees and hunting) is teach marksmanship for the Appleseed (Appleseedinfo.org) program. To be 100% honest, that was what got me into looking at hammocks...

I went with the JRB 11x10. It's great in iffy and nasty weather.

10 yards would be great

Found 12 yds 26 December. Seems like a good choice for some DIY projects (synth underquilt/topquilt).

We seem to have been hit the hardest around Richmond, but if you have 23 and it's still increasing we might get close before it's over. It began here yesterday at 4:30, we had 10...

At 10am, my house had 14 inches and it was still coming down. Luckily it's powder so we've not had the downed power lines issue that we normally experience with a winter storm. I don't think that the...

Thanks everyone.

I gave the hammock a little test yesterday and used the "Light my Fire" to start a fire in the swiss volcano stove to boil water.

Shug, I like most of the same things as you...

L4 and 5 are the trouble spot.

I just returned from picking up shock cord and 2mm in anticipation of the arrival of the tarp and modifying my synthetic bag.

I didn't realize that you guys had any sort of storefront or I would have driven down.

I actually have a synthetic bag that I think can work as an underquilt temporarily. I have to figure out how...

Hey everybody,

After a many year hiatus from hiking due to a back injury, I came to the conclusion that the hammock may be the secret weapon.

For car camping, I can use the Timberline tent...
