Reminds me of an e-mail from my daughter just the other day, after I told her I had purchased another 15* Marmot bag, this time a down filled one. She promptly wrote back.." What do you need another...
My pics won't upload so here is a link to my facebook album:

Okay here goes: I ended up taking my tent and must say I'm glad I did. When a tree(s) did present themselves they were choked with prickly underbrush.
I got off to a late start, my shuttle person...
I find my ENO bug net keeps the mice out of my hammock. I"ve got to tweak mine, it's too big. I see pulling it up tighter under my hammock and snip-sew-goo-to-go. Keeping the zipper in it, just...
Aw shucks! I'm coming out next Thurs 8th-12th, Skull Mesa area....figures..oh well, one of these days I'll hit a hang somewhere!...Snow is gone up here (Maine), south side of Mt. Katahdin is losing...
Okay, I know..this is hammocks, but I have to forgo my hammock to go tent in the desert next month. :( Soooo..I picked up an ALPS mountaineering Mystyque solo tent way back last fall. Light enough...
I voted: That is hilarious: ROFLMAO funny!!!
Here Kitty kitty!!
Maybe it was your dog?
Thanks for the info and responses...and I'll check out the rock while out there. I just hate to lug a tent, but...so it goes. I think I'll modify the tent's rain cover and make a sil-nylon one, will...
...and yes, I kinda figured I'd have to lug the nut tool. But what size to get? Mid range? 5-8 5-10?
Can a cable hex nut(s) be used to hang from rock outcroppings when no trees are around? Exp. in the desert? If so, what is a good size, say no less than no more than size? As a generic for starters...
I'll have to give a short report when I get back on my experience....
Thanks for the info! Tent it is....
Okay...I've been scouring and e-mailing every possible site on this subject.( Since last fall) I hang, but to go to Cave Creek, above Phoenix, in April, I have no clear answer if I should take my...
I'm looking at hitting the Spur Cross TH north of Cave Creek and hike up to Skull Mesa. I'll only have 4-5 days to see the area. I hammock but was looking at the pics of that area and see tenting is...
While on the subject of hammocking on the CT anyone tried the Grand Enchantment Trail from AZ to NM? w/a hammock? Or parts of it? Thanks.
Anyone have a solution for slippage of straps on the tree trunks? As in the strap slipped down the trunk. I just came back from the Smokies and I spent more time readjusting the straps at the tree...
Forgot to add...reason I sewed the quilt on is because I do not see me in weather where I won't need under layers. I hammock here in the Northeast, spring to fall and it's always bugs and damp...
Okay...now I'm not a "down" gal, I like the synthetic, so I made one to go under my current "thetravelhammock" comapny. Only I stitched the quilt to the sides of it only and run cordw/cord-locs on it...
congrats on the weight loss program! Keep up the good work...your doing great!
My .02 worth...simple...pad you have to roll and find some place to carry it...underquilt, stuff it and go!
A lot of us make out own. If you can find the material and a local person/tailor who can make one for you...great. Or..take up sewing...You'll need something to keep the cool/cold air off your...
Man! I gotta' move!...........You guys have too much fun....
Shoot! I've gotta' go put my solid wood closet door back on!...Second thought, hinges are still there....DIY time again...!
I take nightvision monoculars....then I know....
I painstakingly, removed the nylon outer cover of the bag, removed and saved the zipper. I recovered w/ripstop nylon and used the zipper for a fleece blanket/bag to use in hammock for whatever use it...
Yeah...your idea is a lot better than mine. I was thinking daylight more than after dark. Back spray not good...:lol:
Get bear spray...carry it...keep in bed w/you...don't panic when you have to use it...aim carefully...preferably w/bear close!...don't miss!:lol:
You want to teach Mr. Bear that it's not cool to...
I just snagged an ungodly amount of silnylon from my local wal-mart for $1.50 and while I was at it, bought all they had of green rip-stop nylon. Yards and yards...I was wondering why I bought the...
Use spray glue to attach the SB to nylon BEFORE attaching to hammock, can use same method for sleeping bag insulation...spray nylon, lay insulation onto, then sew to hammock, make sure...
I can relate on the Byer hammock, as I bought the Traveler style w/the cording. That bugged me for awhile, then when I found this site, I used it as a experiment to improve a future new purchase of a...
T-Back, glad to hear you made it out of the wilderness and across "the river"!
Sorry to hear of your hiking pals knee issues. Good luck on the rest of your hike sobo....:)
For summer nights, I figured my 30* bag too hot,bulky, so i bought from Campmor a mid-weight fleece blanket, ( 60x68) now on sale at $7.97 plus shipg. I had left over filling from the old bag I had...
...in referance to WB's issues, that's why I'm over here, my ?'s and observations went nose diving too...so much nicer here..:)
I've always hung my hammock, inside, in the wall studs, heavy duty eye bolt/screw....hangs better for me..
Yeah! Including me, I've been thinking of using one of my old 30* bags under my hammock so I can ditch the pad, I find the closed cell pad too cumbersome to roll and pack,-- w/an underquilt, I can...
can this be used for a tarp?
My pics are up on the hammock and sleeve,. It's kinda hard for me to get a decent shot where it's hang'n in my barn. The diamond pic is of the repaired/sewn-back-together material of the pad sleeve...
I guess you could say I "centered" it to the hammock. About 12" in on each side and bottom. I figurered on slack and about where I'd be laying. I trimmed the pad "to fit". I'm a short 5', so the full...
Amen!:eek:
:cool:...that's it..I'm converted, I was surf'in the pics of all the hammocks and I came across a pic of one w/a pad sleeve sewn onto the bottom of it, I think it was a commercial job, not sure, I...
Kinda' looks to me like all a hammocker would have to do is add grommets to their hammock, insert a shock-cord pole and "bingo"! ???:confused:
weight ?...made of poly/nylon?..a local feed store or farm store should have some, most dog leashes are made of same material, ....
I finally got back into the sewing thing and bought a 60"x 84" sheer curtain at my local Dollar store for $5. With a bit of pinning for fit, trim here and there, a couple of hanger rings mid-way to...
Here's my 2 cents: I hammock when I hike and I have found that for a rugged and sturdy webbing, I looked at my horse training days and use a 25' lunge line cut and sewn for each end with enough to...
