Much thanks.
Is anyone using UHMWPE or Spider Web straps with ring buckles? I see a note on Dutch's site that his UHMWPE and Spider Web straps don't test well with buckle type hardware. Wondering what the issue...
Is anyone using UHMWPE with ring buckles? I see a note on Dutch's site that his Spider Web straps don't test well with buckle type hardware. Wondering what the issue is. Is it simply that it slips?...
thank you sir
I'm planning my first overnight of the year at MT Cardigan. I've attempted to contact the AMC lodge there but no answer and the website says closed. I'm planning on parking there. Just wondering if...
I keep my lines tied to my ground stakes. I have plastic Figure 9s (from Nite-Ize) attached at the four corners of the tarp.
I've been away from the forum for several years (life stuff, nothing dramatic or interesting). I'm hoping this question will yield the many advancements that have arisen since I was last active on...
The Spotlit by Niteize I love as a ridgeline light.

I have decided to return to a strap&buckle style hammock suspension. For those of you who have experience with two or all of the buckles mentioned in the title, what is your preference and why?
I'm surprised JustJeff hasn't been mentioned yet: http://www.tothewoods.net/HomemadeGearTarpTensioner2.html
Hammock hiker, here. Anytime I take my family camping, or go on an outing with Boy Scouts, I will hammock. However, my yearning is to hike into the woods and sleep somewhere, out in the middle of...
as a retired military man, I'm happy not to surround myself with camouflage anything. Kinda been there, done that, don't need to do it anymore.
Great post. Been thinking of doing this same thing for a while. THanks for all the lessons-learned.
PIF section? Hmmmm, don't have any idea what that is.
thank you both!
Wondering who of our cottage-manufacturers make custom black-bishop bags or stuff sacks. I'm looking to have an uber-black bishop bag made for my hammock and both quilts out of simple nylon fabric...
Absolutely not. My son uses it exclusively. I have two WBBBs, a 1.7 which I take on car-camping trips, and a 1.0 for backpacking. The 1.7 has ring buckles. I'm currently experimenting with a system...
This system clearly works with a solid ring, like SMC D-rings. It won't work with carabiners that don't have a completely round spine. Does anyone know where ti get a lightweight strong carabiner...
The suspension idea posted by Bonepile titled Single Ring Suspension may deserve to be tagged as Sticky.

I am very excited about this one. I've tried traditional ring-buckle, UCR, and buntline-hitch. All are great suspensions, but hey, fiddle factor is part of the fun. The SRS seems simple, lightweight,...
This looks very interesting. Can't wait to try it. Thanks!!
I'm kinda close to StumpJumper, but I'm dead tired by the time I'm setting up camp, so no exploring for me, and if firewood isn't within a 100' of camp, no campfire:
- Site selection
- String...
I have both. I much prefer the LH, it's just the way I tend to sleep.
Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway Trail
1. Flexibility. I don't have worry about making it to the next campsite. I hike until I'm done, find two trees, and voila--home for the night.
2. Comfort. Roots, rocks, and unlevel ground does not...
When cutting an underpad to size, there's many ways to do the length. But, you want it wide enough so that the sides of your shoulders will be protected by the pad when you lay in it. You can go full...
Of course food up in a tree. Book, ear plugs, headlight, etc in hammock with me, all else in pack. If no rain expected, pack hung on most convenient low-hanging branch, if rain then pack is clipped...

THis is exactly what I do.
All my hiking is in New England, so I have no lack of trees, therefore no concern whatsoever about having to go to ground. I do carry a foot-pad made of Reflectix, and it doubles as a sit-pad during...
Assuming you'll do most of you hanging in New England, I'd suggest bear bagging. Don't have any suggestions about the dog. Been wondering that myself.
what do they weigh? If the pair weighs less than 1.5 oz, I'm interested. Wondering if shipping costs would add too much to the cost.
I chose not to post a vote, as I find the wind conditions you correlate to terrain seem to not apply to the mountains. Most of my hikes are in the Whites. My perfect campsite is a place unviewable...
It does have a slight odor, but when dry, it is barely noticeable. I don't find it offensive at all, unlike Deet, which can keep me awake. Permethrin is purchased in a concentrated liquid which you...
I'm finally done buying stuff, well, at least the big expensive things. I've been slowly putting together my hiking gear for the past 4 years. Almost all advice and suggestions coming from this...

A pad definitely will slide into the footbox. However, I would suggest cutting you pad to 3/4 length (I used the measured length of base of my neck to the halfway down the back of my thigh). Then use...
+1! on this device. I've loaned it to my sister and a fellow Scouting parent. Both think it works great. It takes two fills to blowup my Big Agnes Air Core. One of the best $12 I've spent.
um, anyone?
Looking for opinions or suggestions for stealth camping for a planned Presi traverse this Fall. Want to do it without rushing, so planning 3 nights. I stealthed a couple years ago on the upper end of...
EDIT: not on SAC, (my bad) it's on Outdoor Daily (http://outdoordaily.com/).
It's there all day. $109 + $8 shipping.
I agree with the "keep the sleeping bag as a top-quilt" suggestions and just buy an underquilt. But, if you are deadset on buying something, I love my JRB No Sniveler, and can't go wrong with an UQ...
Given your proximity, NH, VT, and MA go without saying.
That looks like something worth a try. Thx!
I now have two WBBB's. My first I replaced the original suspension with a UCR. I just purchased a new WBBB and ordered it with the line-strap suspension. I'd like to keep it as is. For those of you...
This is not meant to rub it in, seriously. I was poking around the Warbonnet site in March and decided to spend my Tax Return. I usually wait and wait and wait on a purchase until I've analyzed it...
Best of luck to you, Brian, and remember to enjoy every minute of this time. It will only happen once.
