I have had similar issues with mine. I usually use some sort of pillow and push the bungee under it which helps. I did put longer shock cord on mine to allow it to fit a bit looser as I use it on...
i use the warbonnet method through the whipping to the suspension. it must be good caus Brandon uses it. :)

bikepacking is awesome. be sure to go lite on the gear so your bike can carry the weight. 25lbs is a good target weight for short trips. check out salsa bike for some great frame bags and racks. ...
For the record all my hammocks are sporting a single ring suspension but I'll keep fiddling.

I did some quick math and it looks like there is no savings over a whoopie in 7/64. I calculated using the numbers on Dutch's site and to make it work you would need some continuous loops and some...
That's it! Use a long one in place of a Whoopie Sling and you could use lighter cord. Might be more bulky than regular UCR but have not done the weight calculations yet.

I'm saying a loop connected with a ucr. thus two lengths of line supporting the load. Think circle of line connected by a ucr type bury. you would need a whoopie hook or toggle on each end to...
I tried to search this so forgive me if it has been done but what about a continuous loop connected by a UCR. Would that not make a sweet adjustable loop that would theoretically double your line...
If you are in to basement hanging, I put up a couple of 4x4 posts bolted to the floor joists overhead and the concrete floor at the bottom. Lets me set the angle just right on my XLC and other...
Lets not forget the single ring suspension. I can get more adjustability with this setup and less line needed. only .2 ozs heavier than whoopies.

I added about 1 to 1.5 inches to my WBBB XLC and found very little to no improvement to calf ridge. I was still able to install the net without issue. I ended up going back to stock. Currently...

Just did this mod and I ended up with a 7.5" piece on each end. Better sneak up on the final length. I cut one set too short.

I think I probably got lucky but there was no mention in the rules. The rangers on duty in the office seemed pretty laid back I believe we were in site 6. My wife was in our tent so I was ready to...
Spent New Years Eve in Alafia State Park, Fla. and there were some nice trees in the campsites. I had no issue with hanging there but I did not speak to any rangers during the night. There was...
I have neck problems and have been struggling to find a good pillow setup. Lately I have been using a therma rest down pillow in the small size. It's small light compressible design seems to give...
Had mine out last night in nc low temp got to 18f. The only moisture I got was on the top quilt from my breath. I had the top cover on and a superfly over with doors close.

Ordered on the 16th of October just got it today! Quality looks impressive.
Thanks,

I'm new here and happen to be a rock climber from years past. I'm intruiged by the simplicity of these setups but worry about the forces involved. Anybody care to straighten me out on this? The...
