All those recommendations are spot on. Its that last line that concerns me. If your hang ends up too low, then you need to reach up higher to tie your tree straps. I am 6' and I reach my arms over my...

In in again!


Grazie!

Turtle dog stand, or Turtle lady stand. Same concept different variation.

I have not tried these yet, but thought about the original post from Shane when I saw the youtube video.

...

I was looking at both of those tarps as well. I have gear from each company with no complaints. I bought the OMW because I could add the pole mod for $10 during that Xmas sale. I bet the postage to...

he doubles as my bear deterrent!

I love my BB, but will use it to loan out when I get enough mula to order that XLC!

that is a very tactical looking setup! Keep those chickens out.

that is where they filmed the movie Seraphim falls?

I remember going thru there when they had all of the production equipment out there. Beautiful...

I love that area. I have never done that exact hike though. I have climbed middle sister from two different directions and it is beautiful. You are on the rain shadow side of the cascades, so...

Martin backpacker! Made for the trail....

count me in also please!

Like most of our gear, tarps are evolutionary. I was going to get a WB tarp when I ordered my BB, but Brandon had the hammock ready and the tarps were back ordered. Just like most here I needed it...

I have done the same setup with the roof rack on my 4 Runner. I wrapped the tree strap as near as I could to the base of the rack. The leverage force was down and it held well. I would use that setup...

It seems that a lot of folks own more than one. They try a single layer or a double layer then decide which they keep.

just an observation....

I thought the same thing about the netting on my WBBB. I figured that it would be good in the summer to keep the mozzies at bay. I found that I still use it in the winter because it keeps the hammock...

trader joes has the big bottle for $10 if I remember correctly. The label makes for some interesting reading when your it gets dark out early and you did not bring anything else to read. I still...

but I noticed that my Tadpole did not leak ( no sealant added) when I had it setup with the correct side of the seam on top. Other than noticing the WL logo, it is easy to pitch this tarp upside...

But, I find the net of the WBBB warmer in the winter. I know it sounds odd, but I now find myself zipping it up in the colder weather.

I also like how the integrated system keeps my quilt in the...

I started with the huge Hennesy Hex and it was very forgiving in the setup. I went with the Tadpole from Wilderness Logics for my backpacking adventures. It does a great job on coverage of my...

I caught up in the whoopie excitement as well. I even asked Brandon at WB if I could save some money and not get any straps because I was going to do the swap out. This was all based on what I read...

I bought the Hennesy hex (huge) for cheap when I first started out. I just used the lines on the ends for it. You can't miss hanging it over the hammock because of the size. I then bought the Tadpole...

I carry a spare whoopie sling. It doubles as a dog leash when I need it. I usually use it around a tree then hang by backpack from it as I unpack/pack.

HYOH!

I do not know that area, and did not read who had ownership of the land. If it's on public lands let the appropriate land managers know. As the previous poster noted they may try to relocate the...

are that the seam seal must give you some semi sticky grooves to keep the pad from sliding around.

I found my BB really comfy until I put that blue walmart pad in. It prevents the hammock material...

Thats the way I run mine, through the loop. And as Mr. Gibson said use a quality strap. I hope I do, he made it! I also leave my toggles "knotted" in the strap. This keeps me from losing them. If the...

HMMM your original post said you 17, and you spilled beer all over your tarp. Good thing you sold that scooter!

Glad to hear your project worked for you.

I watched their videos to learn some knots, but check out their homemade tarp!

and the actual tarp design...

My latest catalog has the ENO in (4) different colors for $44.99, I don't know if this is a good price or not, but they have a great return policy.

Happy shopping

This is a size perspective of the small biner.

I have not seen the nite ize in person yet, but have you seen these?

I think the guy is a forum member. ( plus he has...

I am not trying to hijack your thread, but wanted to add a variant. For those that did not read the whole turtle lady stand thread (highly recommended) there was an addition to the turtle dog stand...

I use the "I" bolt in the stud. Works fine. You will see folks on here over engineering things, but good construction practices will work fine.

The last time I mt. biked around the lake (awesome ride) the bugs would attack each stop. Is that a good time of year to be there? I may try and combine a PCT hike in there as well. Maybe hike from...

I assume its fairly new if its 900 down. Does it need a dry cleaning yet????

grazie~

I have a 700 titanium pot w/lid from backcountry.com. Pretty good pot. I just saw it and a ti spoon for $25 on steepandcheap.

good luck beating that price, Nota

I have only seen it on the Department of goods site for 103 free shipping.

thanks in advance, Nota
