You use these for your toggles? If so i'm trying to figure out how else you can use them if your hammock is hanging.

Welcome to the forums! I live in the Richmond/Katy area and work over in Cypress. Pretty new to camping with a hammock as well.

I'm kind of in the same boat as Sarge. I actually thought about hiking it last week but ended up choosing the LST since it's just a little under 1.5 hours away. Looking forward to seeing a trip...

Haha exactly. Last week I was using them to slap palmetto plants on a swampy section of the Lone Star Trail so I wouldn't walk up on a bunch of hogs. Kind of reminded me of the old Parent Trap...

For me I'd go with the trekking pole. I can use it for tarp porch mode, mount a gopro for filming, wrap some duct tape around it to use later. I'm sure there are a lot of other uses I can find in...

I recently had the same problem when selecting my first tarp and had it narrowed down to these two tarps. I ended up getting an 11' Tadpole tarp with side panel pulls. Great customer service from...

Here are links to the best two sites for info on the Lone Star Trail. They both have plenty of maps and the Lone Star Trail Hiking Club has a very detailed guide on all the features of the trail. A...

Thanks for all the kind words. It was an excellent trip!

I'm still new to hammock camping but I run my 11' tadpole tarp with a CRL and have the tarp below the line. I use a dutch clip and wasp for hardware. This seems like an easy system for a beginner...

Welcome to the forums from Richmond, TX.
I'm new to hangin' as well and hoping to make a group hang some time this year.

I finally made the full conversion to hammock camping and had my first successful camping trip in the new hammock system. I did a 2-night hang on the Lone Star Hiking Trail. The first day I hiked...

Welcome from Richmond, TX

I made my toggles from carbon crossbow bolts. I think they may be sturdier since a crossbow bolt is usually slightly thicker than an arrow. I cut them down using a disk on my dremel tool and then...

Welcome from Richmond, TX. I'm still in the learning and gearing up phase. Hoping to have my first overnight in a couple of weeks.

Thanks! Oh and I forgot to mention, that was my wife laying in those two pictures. If she had an underquilt she probably would have fallen asleep easily after our lunch.

I am very happy with Jared's quality! He was off enjoying the Thanksgiving holidays when I put in my order but he had it sent out on his first day back at work.

Dutch I'm also pleased with your...

Just wanted to share pictures of my first hammock and say thanks for all of the great info and videos on this site.
In late November I ordered me a Simply Light Designs Trail Lair because it was...

Thanks for the help guys. It seems like both of the Dutch Hammocks are a great option. Is it possible to get either of those hammocks in Double Layer?

I'd love to go that weekend and check things out but I'll be in the hill country deer hunting with my dad. I'm a big fan on the LSHT and would like to try and thru-hike it in the coming year.

After quite a bit of research I'm thinking about putting away the tent and getting a hammock for backpack and car camping. I've been doing quite a bit of reading here on the forums and discovered...
