Flashback to 2011 but then I looked in the mirror and realized it was going to be 2021 soon;)
I will take the Bonefire booties. Send me PM with pay info
Looks like you have a variety pack. The first 3 are 2020 universal needles and the last 2 are 2045 ball point needles.used for knit fabrics
You need to match needle with thread size If thread...
I experimented with Spyderline early in my hammock journey. Sheath will not hold up under pressure of prusik. It would work for a couple hangs before giving out.
Extreme straight line winds in excess of 40 mph ahead of a major storm. The DCF can not handle the constant stress of sustained flapping in those conditions. It is like bending a piece of metal, it...
On a trip this summer to BWCA with major wind event
2 DCF tarps - Failure
1 SilPoly - No issues
Friend sent me a pic today of another DCF failure
Bottom line DCF have a shorter life span...
If you do it on both sides do not make them the same size. Make sure one overlaps the other one.
Still use something similar to that. Remove inner strands from paracord and use outer cover for something easier on the netting
That was the reason the guy that came up with these made them. Going straight to the ridge line is the best with non netted hammocks. Anything that pulls the UQ up instead of out works. Lots of...

Becket hitch is same as slippery sheet bend. It's called a becket hitch when tied to closed eye like the continuous loop on hammock.
If the Leighlo is still available I will take it. It needs to come back home. Leigh's not in the house anymore and neither is one of her hybrid quilts! Hard to make, not much profit, but really...

I would do it in 2 gallon batches. I think you are on the right track. I used to spray everything but it so much quicker to soak with a couple gallons and I think better coverage to also. I found...

I have an elusive TATO Hammock Stand hardware kit for sale This is one of those projects I never got...
Rig it the same way you did your sil tarp and you will be fine. Sil/Poly may have less stretch but does not eliminate the stretch.
Car pool? Shorter drive than BWCA last year :D
Coffee for all is extremely tempting!
Just one more reason to come, to see the genius at work!
I experimented with some pads this year when temps where in the teens. I started off with the Klymit insulated and the "sewn through" analogy is accurate. It is designed for the sleeping bag to fill...
Yeah, I have never seen that trick with the triangle things. I happen to know the guy that came up with those things and he was into the diy bridges at the time and never thought of that!:)
Good...
Not sure I can take credit for the solution, probably just similar thought process to solve the problem. I have done something similar to this since the early days of bridge hammocks. There are...
When was that? 8-9 years ago? Good memory! Yeah when your hiking pole goes flying 30-40 feet in the air you look for another option. Back then I used my lathe to make custom parts but the ones...
Here is one way of reducing the failure point on a trekking pole tip. Pole tips are flexible by design and this cuts out the flex. I drilled the aluminum insert to form a pocket for the pole tip...
What about these? Line Lock Hook
Yeah I know the guy that came up with the triangle thingies. They were designed to protect the bugnet and used silnylon to slide easily across the net. If you don't have a bugnet then you don't...
2nd that! I need some now though.....
I use some version of an all-in-one deployment most trips. If I am using a top load pack I just stuff it in the pack liner and deploy from the pack.
This gave me flashbacks to a few years ago...
So it is actually $9.99 with code, Prime eligible, and comes with stakes and cords. This will be a loaner tarp for my friends that think I am going to let them use my cuben tarps again :) ...
The grave is on the Grand Gap Loop trail by itself. If I remember right Archie was an infant and the months on the grave stone are in the same year. Potneck met some of the family that comes every...
Don't get caught up too much in the overfill. Pick the length, temp range, and just do it!
Btw the overfill would probably do you more good in the side channels instead of the bottom channels. ...
Yep, you nailed it!
Temp rating is the temperature most people can use the quilt at.
Overfill is insurance to make sure you can keep using it at that temp as the quilt ages. It also helps keep the down consistent...
Thanks for watching. It was interesting to get a true cold weather hike on a familiar trail. Stay warm in Mexico!
Cool Video! :cool: Thanks for sharing trip. It has been a long time since I have hiked in that area.
You nailed it:) A couple of those miles were the hardest in the BSF in my opinion. Enjoyed hiking with the group.
Thanks to johnspenn for the video
No GPS since we had been there many times. Bandy Creek to Grand Gap then on John Muir to about a mile past where the bikes go left to Duncan Hollow Road. We parked at end of Duncan Hollow Road and...
This video shows our trip to Big South Fork after Christmas Dec 17. I enjoyed the trip with good friends and seeing familiar trails in a different season. The theme was low miles and big fires. ...
I would think late October or November would probably be good. Last year we had some great weather in December.
I have always used a prusik. In the end you will move on to another suspension. Don't spend a lot of time on your hammock journey with the UCR :)
Juki would be the best pick of the two.
You can pick up a used industrial style machine that will last a lifetime for less.
You might consider the Singer 20U Industrial w/ Zig Zag. It is...
You can not beat the river camps! I would like to try the upper section next year
The videos below are from our Suwanee River Trip last month. The Fearless Five are all long term HF members but one went to ground for this trip!

Looks like a great time. Like that breathable material added to your tarp.
