I have backpacked into Sykes from the Pfiefer SP ranger station, around 10 mile hike, but if you're fit, you could probably do it in less the 5 hrs. Or, You can stay at Barlow Flats, (7 miles), a...
Thank you everyone who contributed to this thread. We are excited to visit and "hang" in your state.
Our sentiments exactly!! Thanks
Thanks for chiming in on the matter.
I will put it on the list now. Thanks again for your input. You have been really helpful.
If anyone wants to reserve a spot for a night or 2 early to mid-week 14th thru 18th of Sept, I will pay for the site... we just need to make sure we have a site that can handle all 3 hammocks. My...
Good to know!
It will be semi-retirement. Traveling to work 2 times a week. The only concern about the distance will be road conditions during the winter season.
Thanks, I will add Frozen Head to the list.
We will be there for the next 2 weeks. We were not planning to make the leaf season, but really wanted to spend some time in the areas we like for...
This is great to know. Thanks.
I just realized how to multi-quote.
I was looking at this last night. We will be staying a night there for sure. Thanks for your input!
Thanks for all the info. PM sent.
Thanks Robert! I will be looking into the area. We will be making our way through the, state mostly East of Nashville and are planning on staying in the Smokies.
Hey, thank you for the reply.
My wife and I will be touring East Tn. around the 15th of Sept. We are flying in to Nashville on the 11th and have not made any reservations yet. Most of our time...
I will be visiting TN for 2 weeks and will be traveling throughout the state and would like to hammock camp more than stay in hotels. Any information that a local can provide would help me to plan...
Fronkey: You are all over the net with this video.
I was checking the weather here in Central California on Accuweather.com and they had it on the top trending stories.
As I watched it, I told...
Hello from California.. I'm In!
OP... can you give us your review of the pots when they come in? I have been considering these, as well. They are anodized finished compared to that of IMUSA.
I use a hook on one end and a tarp fly on the other. It allows me to center the tarp over my hammock.
I"m in!!! how could I not be. Oh, yeah. Fire in your bones and fire on my head.
I am in!! This would work well for the wife's conversion to the trees. I hope everyone has a safe, happy holiday season.
Order# update: #298 - CF WinPaL and 20* incubator in route. Awaiting the wife's short phoenix of order #300.
Merry Christmas to all at Hammock Gear and everyone here on the HF.
I just got back from a trip on the central coast of California where it rained for about 14 hrs. straight. I had the Superfly and my buddy had the Bigmambajamba. We both stayed completely dry. I,...
I would like to publicly thank Hammock Gear on their excellent customer service!!! Not only did they live up to the hype, they exceeded it in every way. I will not disclose the specifics of the...
Is it possible to make the support beams (the 2x4's from the base to the extended end pieces) a shorter length, thus a steeper angle without compromising the intergrity of the entire structure?
I am feeling green with envy... count me in for a lucky clover of a chance. I hope my grandfather was part Irish!
Color coding is a great way... I always go with red or orange for the head end. I say to myself, "Red..Head". I have used variations of colored cordage and have recently been using a silver biner...
I have been wanting to hike the PCT section thru of St. Mary's Pass to Ebbits Pass, believed to be around 32 miles. I will watch for your post of your planned hike.
We love freebies...I'm in on this sweet deal!
I want in!!! Very generous of you!!
I received mine in about a week. I believe back order items take longer. If durability is more important for you than weight, then you have answered your own question. There are so many subjective...
More vids of DIY projects... would love to see an entire video of how you made a quilt!!! Anyone here second that thought?
I am 6' and 180lbs... the 1.1 was perfect for me and I also have a buddy who pushes 250 and finds the 1.1 comfortable as well. You can check out what Warbonnet's site has to say about each hammock...
I found myself in the same situation. I found some comfort in my HH but knew it had some limitations. When I received my BB, I knew from the first setup that it would be my go to option. The...
Be careful.... Brandon may call you to have you come work for him. Nicey..nicey. I likey.
Great work.
How is the durability on the coating? This would be worth doing if it last more than a few seasons... if not, probably would just spray paint every year.
I, too, am interested in seeing how some folks created a detachable ridgeline on the blackbird.
I simply lift up on the hammock to take of some of the tension put on the line. It seems to work for me.
The warbonnet website has suggestions for weights and the respective hammocks. Try the site and you could always try it out and if you don't like it, you can put for sale here. I wish I had one of...
I am waiting for my Dutch gear to come. Haven't received any word yet about my tarp flyz and tarp hooks. I look forward to giving them a try to save on weight and bulk in my suspension stuff bag.

If you are inching toward ultralight, this would be a good transition. I found I saved about 1.2 oz on each end. I made my whoopies from 7/64 and 5' long. I exchanged my longer 12' straps for 6'...
I was considering making booties, but making a hat is a great idea.
Thanks
Over the summer, my wife had stored our down comforter in a storage closet too close to the light. Needless to say, it caught fire a burned a hole in it. Lucky we were home to realize what was...
I am interested in the BB 1.1.
Using my jacket or fleece pant/shirt tucked under the back of my knees helps alleviate discomfort. It, also, serves as insulation since I have 3/4 UQ.
Big Sur would be a great idea... or Big Basin in the Santa Cruz mountains. There must be some nice woods up above Sac towards tahoe, heh? Maybe something around 3500' to 5000' elevation.
After my email was hacked, I was unable to recieve any word of my order's status. I emailed Adam and Jenny to let them know a forwarding email address to send the shipping confirmation. I followed...
There was a trip report on youtube about Pt. Reyes and I believe the hammocker had to do a little stealth camping that was not in a designated campsite.
West Coast Hangers!!! We hang from the biggest trees on the planet.
