Cool idea... no pun intended.

I was finally able to try out my tadpole on the trail over the weekend and loved it. My friend commented on how nice it was and then let him see how small and...

This. I try to do my business at least 500' from camp and well away from water. Sometimes that is not feasible but no way I'm going in camp and walking through it the next morning.

Just an update. The Off Clip-on seemed to work. I clipped it on the side of my hammock and slept bug free for two nights. I did notice some mosquitos out just after dark but not a large amount and...

There is a lot of water to fish above Jocassee on and just off the foothills trail. A NC record trout came out of one of them. I've never fished there but have spent time hiking and riding...

A Thermocell saved my sanity on a trip to Alaska. I still got bit if I didn't use bug juice but only a few times instead of few hundreds. The mosquitos up there are absolutely brutal. I heard they...

Yeah, I should have specified I'll be in Avery County. I wouldn't go with nothing other than a miniature Termacell anywhere west of I-85.

South Mills River in Pisgah Forest just outside of Brevard, NC would meet your requirements.

You can come in two ways, one is to take Turkey Pen Rd. off of Hwy. 280 a few miles east of Pisgah...

I'm pretty new at hammock camping and I finally have a decent set-up but still no bug net.

I'm doing some backpacking this weekend and while picking up a few supplies I happened across the Off...

That's kind of where I'm at too. I really enjoy my hammock especially in warmer weather but I have so much tied up in tents, cold weather bags, etc. it's hard to give it up altogether. The hammocks...

I don't about local stores that carry it but you can order it here. Call them and see what they do about getting it to you in time.http://wildernesslogics.com/NETTING-NETTING.htm

Sorry to hear about your knee. It's awful to have new gear and not be able to try it out right away. I've had my tadpole for almost a week now and haven't had time to set it up yet. It's killing...

I have to agree. I ordered a Tadpole last week, after business hours no less and still had it in my hands in about 36 hours. Even though I'm in the same state I was super impressed. The best part...

My short answer is that it's so close I don't think about it one way or the other.

If I'm going solo then my hammock is lighter. If I'm going with someone else and sharing a tent then no, it's...

That's got me thinking that a little lemon lime Gatorade powder and a couple limes might make a decent margarita mix substitute. I think I'll try it on my next trip.

My tarp came in today and man does it look nice. I can tell just buy looking that it's a quality piece of gear, I'm positive I'll be happy with it. I didn't have a chance to set it up because it's...

Yes, I have a very imaginative 4 y.o. daughter that loves the Pinkfoot story. She'll be disappointed when we go camping and he doesn't show up. :laugh:


ETA: Something a friend brought along...

Awesome video. I wish I could get my daughter to slow down enough to hang out in the hammock. A few minutes is all she can take then she's ready to run and play. I'm planning to make her a DIY...

Forest Green. I almost went with brown, but more than half of my gear is some shade of green so I'm sticking with it.

Tracking says it will be here today! :woot:

I've never hiked the entire trail but I have been on sections of it back before it was a state park. When I was a kid we used to ride motorcycles in and camp. It's a rugged area for sure.

I've...

I ordered one last night myself. I can't wait to get it strung up in the yard and try it out. I'm interested to see how much my entire setup will weigh. I'm guessing it will be under 2lbs for the...

This right here. A good cigar and a drink after a nice meal cooked over a fire is the best.

I guess it depends on the crowd though. For groups with kids a batch of smores and hot chocolate would...

Balsam Mountain and Cataloochee campgrounds are hammock friendly although not every site has a decent place to set up. I'll try to add them.




:woot: I didn't know you could camp on...

Thanks for the welcome guys.

After reading through the information on this site I've ordered a WL tadpole. I was planning on a MacCat deluxe but after seeing the specs on the Tadpole I think it...

Nothing really, other than my own indecision. :laugh:

Comparing it to other tarps I think it's a good buy. Midrange coverage and very low weight. I don't think it can be beat. I'm going to...

Noob here and I'm looking for a tarp for my GT Ultralight. I was really considering a MacCat standard or deluxe until I found about the Tadpole. It's lighter (barely) and seems to offer similar...

That would about right according to the 1-3 weeks listed on the website. Please let us know when you recieve your tarp so I can get an idea of the time between ordering and delivery.

The lack...

Thanks everyone. I hope to be able to learn a lot about hammocks to go along with my hobbies of backpacking and fishing without getting too wrapped up in the process. (No pun intended)



...

I'm pretty new to hammocks but my thought process is basically the same for all my gear.

1. Weight: I'm getting older, it has to be light.

2. Functionality/Versatility: I can justify a little...

Hello all. I've recently found out how much I sleep in a hammock than in a tent and I think I've got the bug. There may times when I revert to a tent but I think for the most part I'll be sticking...
