Thanks for the update. I won't be able to make it... too much scheduled already for that weekend. :(

Sorry for your loss!

btw, here are a few pictures and a time lapse from my hiking in the...

Trish and I had a great time, it was nice to meet a bunch of new people and also nice to see the hangers that I met last December!
...

I think we are in! Do we need another site for Saturday night? My wife and dog are coming too. Do we just register to camp at the gate?

Thanks everyone, with the weather looking as good as it is, some hiking and hammocking might just be the ticket! Our poor horses are a bit neglected though... It's been a crazy busy week with her...

I'm still on the fence, I have a LONG work trip starting mid-next week that my wife is not looking forward to... so we aren't a NO, but we aren't sure yet! My wife just got a fancy new custom Dream...

Our girl is a GSD mix, we think Greyhound, but have not done the dna testing. Here she is in her favorite environment:
...

Thanks for the note, I can easily adjust for that on my ridgeline... not sure how to do it for my guy lines though, since I went with the Dutch Flyz route and put them on that single ring. I then...

It is definitely being blown hard, we had steady strong winds for the entire day. I took out the pole mod, but didn't have any lines with me to try to move to the pull outs. To be honest, I need to...

Hah, I'm in the same boat! When hiking, if I hang my hammock, she'll just lay beneath me while I make lunch or relax, but I've never done an overnight with her. Also a Shepherd, but she's 13.

I...

Love my winter dream, that said, if I built one again, I would make some different choices. Mine is Sil/Poly, I highly recommend that, although you mentioned the .93 membrane, I don't have any...

I love my sil poly, definitely go that route! I'd say go 12' too. It is very lightweight along with being crazy small when packed. It makes my Hennessey look like a blue tarp special! The only...

Said USPS person better have accepted my signature on the slip they left yesterday, I want to check out my wife's fancy new hammock tonight!

So far, so good. Looks like the wife might be doing a charity thing on Saturday, so it might just be me, which probably works to my benefit, so I can steal her down to double up if it's cold! ...

Good to know.. I'm sitting on the fence right now. Depends what my schedule looks like.

Added to the calendar, hoping to get my wife to join, but I noticed that she's going to be kitty sitting for a friend... that might prohibit her from coming with. I suppose if it's just me, I can...

Yep, technically I bought it for my wife, but she hasn't used it yet. She wanted the privacy. It's nicer than my Hennessy hex, so if she isn't with me, I use it. It's lighter and packs smaller...

It's a very close match to my Dream-Hammock 2.2 Hex Olive Yellow.

Thanks, no it's not DIY, it's an undergroundquilts Winter Dream tarp made from Sil-Poly in Tawny Olive with single pole mod.

Tawny olive in sil-poly.

I bought the pole from UGQ and added the mod option direct from them, here is the data from their website:


Center Pole Mod on Tarp
One ~112" long collapsible .340 Alum Pole
3/32" Shock Cord...

Not pictured is my set of ee down.

Two firsts today. Horse camping and first night in my new hammock. Tree selection sucked in my spot, so I had to use the trailer. Tomorrow, I might move to the woods that are near by.

First use...

Yeah, single pole, centered, beneath the tarp. I need to set it up again and get decent pictures, the ground was frozen when I set it up last.

Looks like we went the same path. Dream hammock and dream tarp!

My order of litesmith cordage arrived! My goal was to have reflective guy lines for my tarp that work with Dutch Fleaz. The first set of line that I bought from Dutch works, my second order, I...

I hope the 8-10 period isn't extended with the massdrop thing... cause I just ordered a UQ for my wife. ;)

Dang, I missed the discount code, but somebody posted a link on a Dutchware thread talking about Zing it issues with Fleaz. I accidentally ordered thicker cordage for my new tarp and my fleaz...

Thanks for the link! I might buy that along with those neat bungies!

Is there a 1.75 reflective guy line option?

I didn't want to start another topic, but if somebody thinks it warrants it, they can move it...

I'm having troubles getting my 2.4mm guy lines to lock into the back side of a flea. I have 2.38mm...

I finally had a few minutes to set up my tarp, unfortunately, the ground is still very much frozen and the pole mod puts some fairly good resistance up on the corner stakes.

Didn't get great...

Nice! I just got all my Dutch bling put on mine, so it's time to set it up and figure out the center pole mod!

Kitty, you will not be sad with the 2.2 outer 1.6 inner combo! It is amazingly comfy!

I had an hour to hike with the dog this morning before the honey-do list set in. So we sloshed out in the melting snow.

Wow this thing is comfortable! I only had time to set it up and lay for...

It's new gear day! 125051

My new gear arrived! 125050

Hopefully, I can hang both of them up this weekend. I went with an 11' winter dream with center pole mod. Two pull outs. Sil-poly.

Mine shipped, pictures are up! Yay!

As a follow up, I ordered an 11' WD with center pole mod. I haven't yet determined how I will bling out the tie-downs and doors... suggestions? I like my Fleaz setup on my Hennesey... but I'm not...

TrailDaze and I have been doing the same thing for a week, I'm sure. :)

I had some of the same questions you did about the zippers... my Dangerbird (net only) is in production right now, so I can't give you first hand answers, but I ordered extra zipper pulls for each...

Congratulations! I can't wait for mine to arrive!

It is almost "on deck".... I can't wait to see it, especially with the center pole mod that I chose! I'm in custom hammock heaven (or purgatory)...

I love the "order status" page! I've been stalking it daily, since my order was processed. I managed to not refresh the page while the Smurfs were attending that hang in Florida, but you better...

Hah, I'll be in Quakertown and Reading each for a day next week as well... Not sure I'll have time, but I'll be damned if I don't try to make a trip over!

I did, I camped out in December with it.

Yeah, the photo is what UGQ had on their facebook page, I just ordered mine today, so I won't see it for a month. That's okay though, because it will give me time to place a couple orders with...

Thanks for all the feedback.

As for the color, it will be very similar to the outside of my Dream Hammock with olive yellow 2.2 hex! Technically, this will be my wife's tarp, so I let her pick...

I went with Olive Yellow Silpoly.
