The ENO has worked well for me, and pay no attention to the suggested retail price. It's sold by so many different vendors that it's easy to find a 20% discount. That's what I did - plus I used my...
Pics sent via PM.
I've got one I'll sell you. Excellent condition - I bought it unused, still in the plastic, and I've used the patrol bag/bivy combo on a single 3-day trip into the Adirondacks two years ago. I...
What I've always heard is that you don't want to be the highest point in the area when a lightning storm rolls in - example: you don't to be hanging from the only two trees in a wide open field or...
It's funny, but the trips you end up talking and laughing about years later are NOT the ones where everything goes as planned.
Keep an eye on that Oak Creek Canyon fire.
ENO wasn't always a household name in the industry - they worked to get there just like every other company has (or wants to).
This reminds me of people who mock "one-hit-wonder" musicians, when...
I love this company and I will be recommending them to everyone I know who camps or backpacks.
A couple weeks ago I purchased a lightly-used Burrow 20 from a guy on another forum. It had very...
Matt - received your pics. When you've had time to check out my pics, let me know. I'm up for a trade if you are.
I can send mine out first thing Monday.
BTW - do you still have the cotton...
Sent you another PM with the pics. It's just easier than messing with my email (though I did send you some info via email as well).
Matt - I have the exact quilt you're looking for and have sent you a PM requesting more information.

I have a 40lb blue heeler who camps/backpacks with me. I hook her long leash to one of my hammock's trees - long enough for her to reach her water dish. She mostly sleeps on an old piece of...
OR - no worries, mate. :lol:
I just had to laugh because the whole discussion reminds me of my time on a pretty popular knife forum full of self-described rugged individualist/outdoors types. ...
Are you gonna sleep in it, or just stand there in the woods and admire the color combos from afar? lol
Payment sent. Thanks again!
Vtp - you beat me by seconds on the HG20 (other thread) because I couldn't decide if 20deg was "overkill" for my usual areas of operation. lol
I'll take it.
PM sent - just awaiting PayPal information.
I wouldn't trust the "legs". lol
Maybe I read it wrong, but I assumed he's talking about the diagonal corner-to-corner length (the hypotenuse, if you will), which would be a tad over 12' and would give you an extra foot of tarp...
I did, but no worries. A couple of days with no response gave me time to change my mind a couple of times. lol I realized I should probably secure a replacement first, then sell the Kelty.
This one's sold and shipped.
You can move it if you want to, mods.
Thanks
Nevermind!
You got it, Miles. I'll send you my PayPal info via private message (PM).
Mods, you can move this one (or tell me how to do it).
Thanks!
Got it, Eric. I'll PM a tracking # tomorrow morning.
Thanks

Lightly used, but well-loved - this was my "hey, I've got an extra hammock, so you've got not excuse for not coming with me!" gear. My lame friends = it just doesn't get enough use, so I'm...
Sold Pending Funds to Eric!
Thanks, man.
I'll PM my PayPal info and get this out first thing in the morning.

Practically new - set up once in the Adirondacks back in October before the temps plummeted into the 20s and I...
This one is sold and shipped.
You can move it if you want, Mods!
Thanks

Just PMed my PayPal info.
Thanks
It actually began life as the ASEK version, but I've lost the leg straps.
This is a heavy-duty knife - not a lightweight toy. Except for sheath-marks on the blade it is unsullied and unused. It...
Looking at that picture and wondering - if you don't need the bugnet, could you diconnect it from the overhead ridgeline and turn it into what's basically a double-layer hammock? You'd be sleeping...
Hope you're in decent shape. The all-downhill trip into the Gorge was terrific. The trip back up - not so much. lol Beautiful country, though.
Secondary choice, though it might be cold down in valleys - Rockbridge.
Around a mile, all downhill in (all uphill out - yuck!); a beautiful stream (Rockbridge is the only arch in the entire area...
Yeah, no way I'd go up Courthouse Rock in this weather.
The size of the party would influence where I'd recommend you actually camp, too.
Small party = set up camp in the area near Haystack Rock,...
Auxier Ridge trail to Courthouse Rock.
Easy 1.5 miles each way, along the ridgeline, plenty of good hanging trees, very scenic, large parking area at the trailhead.
I'll take the ENO Guardian bugnet.
Just need your PayPal information.

I sent you a PM earlier today re: a Gerber LMF II.
I sent $100 to Hawk's Vittles and another $80 to MooseJaw - but you've got me beat.
Did you try ESEE's messageboard? They've got a healthy buy/sell/trade forum over there that might give you better chance.
Good luck!
I have two that I use alot, but I never hang them under my tarp because I don't want to wake up shrink-wrapped in semi-molten nylon.
I hang them from trees around the campsite so I'm not...
Actually, nevermind.
I'll take it.
It's time I try this TQ thing, and if I don't like it, WTH, I'll just come back here and sell it! lol
PM incoming!
@Weaver - sorry, we cross-posted, but I'm with you on "getting into the hammock". As it stands now I usually get into the bag while standing beside the hammock, pull the hood up over my head so the...
Yeah, it's helping, so thanks.
When I canoe/car camp, using my hammock, I use my old Sierra Designs Sandman bag - it's rated to 15 or 20 (so old I forget which) - but I'm comfy down to the low 40s...
Hey Dale - does the jacket have pit zips? Most raingear makes me overheat and I end up just as wet from sweat as I would unprotected from the rain itself. What are the venting options on this one?...
I'm tempted and I'm curious - but I still need convincing to get me out of my "traditional sleeping bag" mindset.
When you're talking that 40deg rating - you're talking in a hammock, with a...
In other words, about $15-$16. :)
Gotcha - I'm just doubtful you'll get any responses considering the new price versus "a fair price". By the time you factor in shipping costs and the pain-in-the-arse of finding a box, packing it...
$16 at Amazon as I type this. Buy two packs of extra candles and you cover the "free shipping" minimum. Or just do like I did and buy two of the UCOs themselves.
Check out the Trangia Mini alcohol stove. Amazon has it for about $35 with free shipping. I bought one from another forum member last year but haven't used it yet. I'm gonna give it a go next...
