Concur. I got some reflective guyline from hammockgear when I bought my tarp, and it is great. There are plenty of options out there that will be lighter and won't stretch

ITAYG is my next one, I think. Really looking forward to it

This trip report is severely delayed as I have been procrastinating and such. Entirely my fault. I made this trip on Dec 30-Jan1 of this past New Year holiday. I thought I would start the year the...
Yeah where is it available?

Pretty sure Dutch also makes (and possibly other vendors) plastic clips for this as well.

In my experience the woobie performs best when inside another bag. Not sure about the rest. I have gotten a 40 deg setup down in the low 30s with some good warming layers on my body and correct tarp...
Welcome!! I live just North of you in Sneads Ferry!! If you find yourself wanting to try stuff that I have, let me know.

I was there the same night down in the gorge. Can confirm that the wind was whipping around quite a bit. Glad yall decided to stay!

You will likely find that a 3/4 will cover most if not all of you.

Depending on your height and lay angle, you may find that you need anything at all, especially in warmer weather. I use a mummy bag as a top quilt and the foot box is often enough for me, and I am 6...
What temp quilts are you able to fit in that?

Welcome!! There is certainly a lot to learn around these parts. Only made making my choices that much harder!!

Having spent years sleeping in this system in the Marines, I will say that I slept in both bags comfortably in a tent into the 20s. Past that warming layers are needed. The extended cold weather...
Im going to be out there for new years. Should be interesting

Doing some trip research for a New Year's hike of the Gorge and am wondering where you found the campsite names and such? I love the ones you stayed at and may take a similar route.

I was mistaken about all trails. Here is a link with all the trail info.

The new section is on the all trails app.
A full down and back of both trails took me three full days. Kicked my butt too. But it's a fun trail.

I did it a couple years ago. Not a bad trail. I would suggest starting at Jumping Off Rock. Wish I could join you but I will out of the area.

Also curious. I lay the wrong direction compared to most haha

Vote for doors. I like typing them out to make my tarp a bit bigger when it is nice out

Im a big fan of saying screw it, if you are comfortable. With that said, I also didn't realize when I first got my BB that it is intentionally designed for the foot end to be significantly higher...
Yeah mine gets stuffed into the snakeskins and I fold it after it gets cleaned and dried at home.

Just a quick photo of mine. No issues hanging so far at 175 lbs in my WBBBXLChttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190903/42c003f02bb4d5ea7b662166589ebdd3.jpg

I did bar tacks (I think that's what they are called) on mine. I've see all sorts of different stitches on commercial straps. If it works, it's not dumb!! Hah

You could always use the Yeti and a small pad for your feet, and then have the full length pad sent to you for the smokies.

I upgraded last year from an Eno Sub7, which treated me very well, to the XLC. The biggest thing I noticed was the length. Solved all of the problems I had. The RL will help. You can get one and...
Great trip report!! You certainly chose some good hikes. I stayed at Cliffside a couple years ago coming from the DB trail when I was just starting hammocking. In February. And had the wind...

Can I ask why you want to get an UQP? I think that may help in making suggestions. What time of year will you use it? Is it for warmth or protection or both?

I've used the jarbidge river down into the thirties and as high as in the seventies. Its a pretty versatile UQ. I second the opinion that AHE other quilts are likely as good, and are very...
A small pillow or stuff sack with clothes in it will change your sleep so much. Glad youre hanging!!

If you are getting one of those, spend the extra cash and the little extra weight for the palace. Its more of a true 4 season tarp. I have the HG tarp w doors and love it, but wish it went a bit...
Have you tried laying in it with your bike and everything inside? Love then idea. Hope it works well for you!!

I like having a bugnet. Here in NC it is a necessity. Even in the winter I like it because it surprisingly keeps me a bit warmer without blocking all the views.

I was really looking forward to showing up to this hang for a couple days but I have on call duty that week. Yet another opportunity missed.
Be sure to set up your CRL and stuff a bunch of times. I had issues with the lines slipping with the prusik knots, but that was remedied by adding an extra loop to the knot and using it a bunch,...
I don't know what the hammock community was like before you started making stuff, but I can't look at a hammock these days without seeing your stuff or thinking "Dutch bling would make this better". ...

I Just had the Arrowhead 3 season Jarbidge River down to 31 degrees and had room to go colder. I imagine their full length winter quilts are even better. Decently priced and reliable. It is a bit...
I have all muted colors. I want to be able to hide a bit when I am out on the trail. I don't like to attract too much attention
I think the problem may be the reflect-it/zing-it combination of the lines I used. The zing-it/lash-it combo seems to work fine enough for everyone.
Ok so I just went out into the surprisingly warm yard and set it back up. Five wraps seems to be what it needed and is working as I want it to.
Both the CRL and soft shackles from Dutch are...
Ive made it up to three wraps but could add a couple more. Ill try it out!
Good morning, Yall.
So I want to preface this with the fact that I have already accepted that I am likely doing something wrong.
