What diameter is the reflective cord? Does it work with tarp flyz? Thanks!
I have the Jacks-R-Better Shenandoah, and as far as I'm concerned it works perfectly as either a top or under quilt. Great stuff!
The spoil islands are very cool also! No hiking, but if you have access to a canoe or kayak, it's an easy trip. CLICK HERE for more info. If you have any questions, just PM me.
If you don't mind driving a little over an hour, there is a cool spot in St Lucie County called Bluefield Ranch. It's a four mile hike from the parking to the primitive campsites. We've been there 4...
It's a shame to do all that work for nothing... maybe you could offer it up for trade to someone with a stock suspension ENO.
Put me down for mesh doubles. I make mine short and roll up the tarp first. Then I just slide the two short skins part ways towards the center (no overlap) and everything stays rolled. That way it's...
$45 is a good price for a new Guardian. I have a used ENO Guardian that I could part with. I probably wouldn't let it go for less than $40 though (shipping included). PM me if you want it.
Beautiful skiff, and a great report! It looks just like the classic skiffs out of the old Florida books. Can't wait to see part 2!
Mosquito nets also fail when they get eaten by Leafcutter ants in the Amazon jungle! It happened to Ed Stafford during his 2 year hike along the Amazon river.

I'm also into "old Florida". Have you ever read the book Gladesmen? It talks a lot about Glades Skiffs. How about showing us a picture of your skiff?
Welcome from the Treasure Coast!
Wow... there's nothing quite like paddling on glassy water. Great pics, and beautiful canoe too. Thanks!
I decided to use the Dremel to smooth out the edges on a Dutch Hook. The hook caught on the grinding bit, and the tiny Dutch Hook shot across the room, ricocheted off of exactly three walls, and then...
I can start tomorrow :D
And thanks for making all the cool gear Dutch... hammocking wouldn't be the same without you!
Here's the result of a quick search...
Titanium Grinding vs. Tumbling
Could be the way to go for someone like Dutch.
I had an old set of Flyz that have always been a little too rough on the tarp lines. I know that Dutch has offered to replace older Flyz with newer ones that have a better bevel, but I figured why...
I used to use the ENO bug net, but I switched to the Warbonnet Travel Net due to weight, and here's an observation. The half moon style zipper on the Warbonnet is difficult when there is any weight...
My brother-in-law owns a set. He accidently left them turned on when he packed them away, and when he took them out a month later they were still shining :scared: Then he accidently did the same...
You can find them at dollar stores in my area.
Speaking of space blankets, I've got a couple funny stories...
The first time I had to break out the space blanket, I was unaware of how loud and crinkly they were. My sister and her husband were...
You got it. It'll be in the mail by Thursday :D
OK, my original PIF of the Nalgene bottle carrier did not move so I will add a little to the deal. In addition to the nalgene bottle carrier, I will also include all of the necessary materials for...
+1 on the beltman. They are marketed mostly as a gunbelt, but they are awesome belts whether you are carrying a sidearm or not!
Bump...
1. The item offered below is free. I will pay shipping ConUS.
2. First to post that they want it gets it.
3. You must also "Pay it Forward" by posting something free (the item must be...
My PIF is a Nalgene bottle carrier. Never used, and still has the tag on it. It does not include the bottle, I just grabbed a picture from the web.

I happen to love the slap straps, so I'll take these if you don't mind :D I use them to nap on the island. Very easy, and without the tarp, stretch isn't an issue.
+1 on the Rescue Flash. There are three styles out there though. Make sure you do not get the style that looks like a mirror incased in a polycarbonate shell like this one. Water gets inside and...
Welcome WVBowHunter!
I am 6 ft 165lbs and I own the One Link system with the Double Nest and the Pro Fly. I also own a Single Nest. Here is my opinion:
If you are going the One Link route,...
I live about 45 minutes north of you in Port St Lucie. I've heard a lot of people talk about Peanut Island as a cool place to go in your area. You would probably need to call to see if they allow...
I do quite a bit of kayak camping down here in Florida. If you're used to using a canoe, the main difference in packing into a kayak is that you won't be packing your stuff into containers. Just...
Florida hanger here... I'll add that it helps to get all of the sweat, sunscreen, and bug spray off of you before turning in for the night. I'm a kayak camper so i can carry more weight than a...
I use an eye bolt into single 2x4 studs on each end and it holds me no problem. I weigh about 175lbs. My advice is to put the eye bolts up high and allow the hammock to have a lot of sag in it. If...
