What happens in the hammock, stays in the hammock!
How about this...if I hang my hammock in the RV am I cheating? We are going to camp this weekend to and it is suppose to get down to 8 degree's in the morning. I plan on having a good time either...

What was the deciding "factor" for choosing the webbing suspension?
Thanks guys!

Is there a website fot the "Blackbird"? How about the Warbonnet? I would like to see the differant models and prices and such. Thanks!
Is there a way to see a pic of this or get the web address where you purchased? I have the same hammock and would like to go the same route as you. Thanks!
Thanks BillyBob58! Now I have to learn how to properly tie out my new tarp! I swear there is a learning curve with the hammocks but everytime I use it I get better and better!
One question while we are on this subject.Still very new to hanging so forgive my ingnorance! I just purchased a McCat Deluxe tarp. I have a HH asym Deluxe. I tried to rig the tarp as the original...
I am not familiar with the down mats...please excuse my ignorance! Can one of you tell me how well these work with a hammock. Can they be used well on ground? High maintance? any other good / bad...

Sorry to hear that. maybe we will run into each other one day.
We will be at the Fontanna Hilton Wed night and hit the trail bright and early Thursday morning. Hope to run into you.
Thanks guys for all the input!
I have a in to get a couple of these and want to know if anyone else uses these and how do you tie them off? Also, one of my ropes is starting to fray on my HH and it is only eight months old, has...
Hey Whitefoot I along with 5 others will be hiking from Fontanna Dam to Newfound Gap next weekend Oct22nd-25th will you be in that area in that time frame? If so I really hope I get to see ya!
I personnaly like the whole ENO set up. I like a "top" loader vs the "bottom" loader. The only thing that I am currently having a problem with is getting my new macCat tarp adjusted properly with the...
Something I forgot to mention. He and his mom had made straps similiar to the ENO slap straps. They had took a web material and sewn loops on the inside and had put D rings on the hammock itself so...
Our troop went on a campout this past weekend. Went to camp amd fish on the Edisto river. I as well as a friend of mine took our hammocks as usual. One scout took out this "thing" and began to hang...
Wow! You are so blessed to have a great family. I miss those days with my son but I'm sure we will get to do some more camping and hiking even though he is starting college soon. Great pics and...
Looks like you all had a good time! Glad you did and I'm glad you all got back safe. I as well love the mountains. I was out in New Mexico this summer and went as high as 11,800. The temps were...
Myself and three others decided to load up the packs and get out for awhile this weekend. Went and hiked from Stecoha Gap to Fontanna Dam. Not alot of miles but it was great! Hung the hammocks at...
Anyone use a figure 9 carabiner or something like it? saw them in a catalog and was just wondering.
I thought about doing the same thing. Maybe they will give a "trial" period/test. Let one 12 person crew do it for a trek and let a ranger go with them for the duration of the trek and discuss the...

CORRECT!!! The boys of the troop do the voting and count the votes and turn in the nominatios. No adults and I mean leaders or otherwise have anything to do with the voting.I do not know of any one...
Funny story....the name of the scoutmasters patrol is th"old Goats". We have a patch that was designed and made by one of the moms that is halarious! We have several "moms" that love to camp and...

I have done several "backpacking clinics" for Girlscout units/troops. Seems as though they want to get out there but the leadership is unwilling in most cases. Sounds as though you would be a great...
Congradulations on your successful ordeal arrowman! I as well went thru with my son and it is a memory I will take with me forever. I went to Philmont this year without him and he was with me last...
When you refer to the "ridgeline" are you talking about something like the HH's have? I have always feared popping that line that holds up the bug net! Any suggestions on just how tight the HH should...
I agree! With 65 boys in the troop when we go somewhere it looks like a small town popped up. We now can only take our older boys ( first class and at least 14 yrs old) back country and we have to go...
Preacher man you are so right. I have learned more in the last week or two since I found this site then I learned in a month on my own. I can't speak for everyone but there is no way I could ever...
It's kinda like tents. I must own 5 tents and have my favorite but I spent some money and time before I figured it out. I have a Mnt Hdw PCT-1 and wouldn't trade it for anything. That being said I...
Agreed! I love hiking and backpacking as well as kyacking/canoeing so I will always find a way to do those things. I love experimenting with differant facets of all of the above and when I find a so...
Hammock hanging isn't the easiest thing in the world to do! I have been researching and looking around for quite awhile now and still think I do not have exactly want I want. I'm closer than I was 6...
so with these extended DYI pads how hard is it to carry on a internal frame pack? I now have a Thermarest pro-lite 3 that fits inside my pack so with all these wider pads and the modifications does...
