It was awesome, she wanted to sleep out again the next night.

I'm writing this from the hammock. I took my 4 year old daughter out for her 1st night camping out in the backyard, as a precursor to taking her on a big overnight later this summer once she turns...

South Bound is the best direction, every step is one step closer to home :)

I really do find that traveling south bound on the Georgia sections are a bit easier that going north.
That part of the...

I did use this over the past winter (temp down to about 33*)
I was also testing out some other bags and also combining them to see what they could get down to.

I was in a Blackbird, with a 40*...

I'm over in the Roswell area and took advantage of the cold (for Georgia) weather to test out some new equipment. It got down to about 32* Friday night. I ran into the same issue of the wind. I had...

The roadside parking lot is easy to find. I've not seen the drive in to the campsite road, but then again I've not really looked for it.

Good Hammocks are a nitch market, you would get more serious looks here than on craigs list, thus why more people only opt to sell on this forum.

Darn Slap Straps :)

I've got the $20 Byers Traveler, had it for a long time and like it. It is small and stuffs in a side pocket, I usually use it for a napping hammock or a backup.

I'm so bummed, just checked the tracking info and it arrived at my office 10 minutes after I left. If I had just stayed a bit longer I could be playing with nice warm downy comfort right now instead...

I just ordered a 40* UQ. I almost always camp between early April and late October, so the 40* should take care of 90% of my needs. On the rare occasion that I will be in true cold weather I will...

I have one, and actually packed it on my last trip to try out, but I ended up trying out something else instead. It only has a 1/4 length zipper, so you are in the bag vs. unzipping to create a...

How much extra ridgeline are we talking about? several feet?
I'm usually lazy on my knots and use a figure 9 and let the extra dangle down.

I'm in the market also with a similar dilemma, ShadowAlpha has been letting me try out some quilts.
I slept this past weekend in a 3/4 length 0 degree Phoenix.
The temps were 58-60 degree. I did...

Loved the socks :)
and Thanks for showing me the Papa Smurf sock.

I'm interested in the zipper, I really like that idea.
and does it sag as far down below the hammock as the bug net does?

Welcome,
I'm 5' 10" and 215 lbs, I use the dbl 1.1, It is only 2 oz more than the single 1.7.
So weight wise they are close to the same with the added benefits of the double layer, mosquitoes and...

Looking at other peoples socks are fine and dandy, but I want to see Brandon's design. I'm sure he would not put out a sock that was just a copy of someone elses work. I'm sure he has put in his own...

Anyone tried the new Travel Sock yet?
I'd love to see a review or a vid of one and how you are using it.

Sounds like you have a great attitude towards the whole thing. The cheap tarps will work fine for you. You will learn a ton from this trip and come back with new ideas on how to improve your setup...

I've had better luck hiking that section going south. The long steep grades favor that direction.
Then again it might be a physiological thing with me. I live in the atlanta area, and no matter what...

I am very impressed by the shelf on the wbbb. I did not think much of it when ordering, but I end up putting a water bottle, flashlight, and my glasses in it, and was very impressed with how...

Don't worry too much about back vs. side sleeping. I'm a big time side sleeper on the ground or regular bed (I easily get over 90 degrees)
But in the hammock I can put my weight on one shoulder and...

Is it possible or even comfortable, to use it as a bivy (get between the 2 layers for bug protection) while set up in hammock mode?

I sometimes will just wrap the straps around the outside of the bag.
Or if they are nasty, then stuff them into a ziplock bag (or 2 bags, one for each side).

Did you get a confirmation from Pay-Pal? You should have.

If so then just sit back and wait, it will come. I ordered one early this month, and it took about 2.5 weeks to ship.

I only 1/2 inflate my pad, and it stays still.
The Double layer is nice and keeps it in one spot.

I have one of the REI travel sacks (50 degree bag). I've had mine for about 8-9 Years.
I like it, I live in Georgia and it has worked fine. I've not used in a hammock yet, but plenty of times in a...
