Hey Woodstock,
I'm in NJ also and will be going to SNP next Friday too. I'm leaving at 3:50 am. What about you?
That is one thing I like about ordering straps from strapworks. They have a US mail shipping option which is reasonably priced.
Manach,
I just ordered a Claytor for my 13yo son for Christmas and planned to use the Gossimer pad. Do you put your pad between the two layers on the hammock bottom. If so, any thoughts/ tips/or...
100 mile wilderness.
I am leaving the flat lands in Southern NJ this evening after work for the 100 mile wilderness. There are three of going with hammocks. My two friends are first time hammockers. They totally...
I did SNP last year north to south. I parked at the Dickey Ridge visitor center on the drive and took the ridge trail south to pick up the AT. You have to pay the entrance fee but there seems to...
Review sent on 6/23 with 3 hours to spare.
Actually, I think I got it. Did you pull the whole hammock through?
Alex, thanks for the reply but I am still missing something. How do you tie the larks head with the loop through the channel?
I was looking at the picture in post 36 by Alex.... I would like to do something like this to attach SMC rings. It looks like the rope was a double rope that is tied in the hammocK? Is this...
Mine the ATHH V2.
Does anyone know a source for 9" aluminum gutter spikes that I can use for stakes. Home Depot and Lowes had 7" aluminum and larger galvinized. I had some that came with my McCat but my wife left...
Just got mine yesterday, 5/29. I have to figure out which model it is as there was no indication, paperwork, instructions or anything.
I should be getting one shortly. I'm not sure which model it is. I'll let you know.
Leaf Eater based on your maple leaf story.
Thanks for the motivation, I'm in.
Just ordered my No Sniv. to go with my nest.
My son Traz and I had a great time. It was nice meeting some of the people that I only knew as their screen names. Thanks to Pan for taking the time to show me the little tricks and reviewing my...
Just got a commitment from my son that he wants to go. The 2 of us will show up Saturday AM
I'm just down the pike from Iafte in Turnersville.
I just got a McCat deluxe to replace my stock HH for my birthday. I am going to attach the ridge line using the figure 9s. My question has to do with the tie outs.
Should I use 4 tensioners, one...
After cutting a hole in a stuff sack to make the BB bag, do you need to sew the edges or other wise seal them?
I have experienced exactly the same problem. I have a new tarp on my Christmas list as the stock is too small. It is interesting that many of us are attracted to the ULB because of its light weight...
My pad was 40 wide by 60 long. It is just having to deal with it inside the hammock, trying to position it that gives me the feeling that I don't have control over my environment.
I had the same problem. One thing that bothered me was the oware pad I was using for insulation. It was cumbersome to manipulate the pad and still feel in control of the ability to exit the...
You are right. I met "Nightwalker" and he had a new HH. My mind put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5.
Nightcrawler,
I met you several weeks ago in Mojo’s and MRO in Damascus.
After using my HH for 8 days, I came back here and read the entire ring thread. Here is what I then did.
Bought 4...
Pan,
The fest is two weekends before labor day weekend each year. This last fest was the 46th annual. Over 5000 campers stay the 4 days or more. Another 10,000 day trippers (sometime literally)...
I've been going to the Philadelphia folk fest for 12 years now. It is a 4 day event. A hammock vendor has been selling hammocks for several years now and they are catching on. I had my HH...
Is this near the ALDHA Gathering in Gettysburg the same weekend? I would like to do one of these. Which would you suggest for a relatively new hiker and relatively new hanger?
I just added the ring buckle support to my HH ultralight. Before I did that, I ran a 2mm secondary ridge line for my tarp using stuff I got from REI. I would attach the vertical part of the HH tarp...
Regarding these stands:
1. Is there an issue with lightning since the stand is metal?
2. Is the height high enough for the bottom entry of a HH?
I would like to use a stand for car camping at...
FranticFinger is right. I just completed my first 8 day use of the HH. I had previously read a little of the ring suspension thread but did not fully appreciate what was being said. I used the...
My wife, son, and I are going for 10 days at the end of July. Staying at the park. Let us know any recomendations you have after getting back.
I just finished my first section with a HH. I used the tree huggers and lashing. But now that I understand the use of the HH and after reading about the rings, I ordered the rings, biners, and...
This is what I'm thinking of doing with my HH for a hike in SNP in late May.
I am using a GG G4 pack so I got the GG nightlight torso length pad that will provide the support for the G4 pack. ...
