He didn't say, but yeah that's what I suspect.
EDIT: I guess fragile isn't the word. Perhaps "specialized" is better. It's plenty durable if you know what you're doing, but I suppose it's not...
PapaSmurf is who runs Dream Hammock. The website is where you'll find his stuff. He no longer makes the Darien UL, if that's what you were looking for. Also, keep in mind a zipper weighs more than...
I use Root Call Blocker Pro, but I shouldn't have to for something like this. They never responded to my email, though I've yet to get anymore texts from them. Here's hoping...
I've just now received my second text message spam from GrandTrunk. And it's been dumb stuff like, "Hi, please retweet us." Seriously? I don't even know where they got my number, though I suspect...
Well, good luck out there!
Noooo, we'll miss you! When do you leave? Will you eventually come back? I hear the mountains of Colorado are always calling.
Oh and, uh, good idea too! ;p
I rigged my Superfly by splicing a Dutch Tarp Flyz onto a continuous loop of zing-it (maybe 3 inches) and larks-heading one of those to each of the ridgeline tieouts. Then I took another length of...

They get my highest recommendation.
Yep, mine clocks in at 238g or 8.4oz. And I get 6 grams for the sack and 26 grams for matching sleeves. The tarp, rigged and in the sleeves, fits snug, but comfortably in the sack.
This stuff is...
Mrs. Claus was far too generous this year. Must have been a good boy.

Heard back from Adam today. Here's the verdict:
So there you have it! And I agree, I think that's a worthy investment of <2oz.
Kinda surprised this isn't getting more attention. o.O
Some research yielded the following (from this thread):
But that was regarding the first batch of digital camo. Later in the thread, I found this:
I hope that also applies to the newer...
I believe the Darien UL is just special order now because "inexperienced" people were having issues with it (stuff like tearing the net by laying in the hammock backwards and whatnot). My...
Hey y'all.
I sent an email the other day but haven't received a reply yet (totally understandable given the time of year and the black Friday sale), but I wanted to get an idea ASAP because a tarp...
My mindset, so far, on this is pretty simple. I go out to experience the wilderness. If that means hiking long distances to see as much of it as I can, great. If it means hiking slow and short...
Doubt it, unfortunately. Since school is back in session, weekends are all work for me. ;c
Aaarrrggghhhhhhhhh.
I don't. ;c
My only input on all that is this: while Aspen Glen a nice campground right on the river (so you can't hear the highway you're also right on), it wouldn't be any good for a group hang. Too few trees.
Like others have said, it happens. I was told by Brandon at Warbonnet to pull it back through from the other side, then lick your finger and rub the spot it popped through.
I tried Zing-It on Zing-It for my Superfly and was let down. I tried up to six wraps, and no matter how tightly I wrapped it, they would slip under the tension you're supposed to hang a Superfly. The...
I'm in!
Didn't even know you had a Facebook page. Liked.
Also, you should probably fix the link to your site in your sig. Needs to be:

You're missing the colon. ;p
HAH.
Haha, yeah. I wish I could have that night, I was far more comfortable and warm in the hammock. Lol.
I thought of that... we're leaderless! Ahh!
I haven't been, but I've been told Rainbow Lakes is a good spot. Person who told me about it said it's about a 1-2 mile hike from some campgrounds and that the fishing is good. I'm just getting into...
Great access to the woods in Colorado is pretty much everything west of the 25 as far as I'm aware. East gets too plainsy for me. My vote goes to anywhere around the Springs, all the way north to...
It was at Burning Bear campground, just north of Grant.
Haven't heard anything, but I'll keep my eye on this.
Wow, good on y'all for having the dedication to cut everything manually!
Haha, congrats! Which direction are you going for insulation? Are you using your JRB quilt with it?
LMAO. This gave me a good chuckle. What all did you get?!
This would be perfect if instead of a bolt on the bottom, it went straight to a StickPic-esque dilly to attach it to a trekking pole.
I used Permatex on the inside of the pullouts of my SF and didn't use any powder of any sort (though I let it dry probably three days in my basement) and have had zero issues.
+1 to this. It's a good mix.
Any specific reason to use shrink tube instead of a backsplice?
I like the idea a lot, but I use my phone as my camera and that obviously doesn't have somewhere to screw it on. I vote the Dutch Team comes up with some brilliant plan for those of us with phones....
That asterisk after the "Biodegradable" is highly suspicious. I've seen some pretty shady stuff regarding that word. I wouldn't trust their biodegradability. BioBags, however, make all kinds of...
If you'd be interested in a Foster's pot setup, let me know. Assuming I can find my safety can opener, I would be willing to whip up a Foster's pot with lid (I use the full can, I don't cut it down -...
Nobody? Maybe I'll just try to car camp with the wife. If anyone is down for a trip this weekend, though, definitely let me know.
Okay, so, super short notice again. My fault. Also, still haven't decided on a location. >.>
THAT SAID: I'm thinking I'd like to get out for a couple nights this weekend. I'm also thinking maybe...
I love Tyvek. Good stuff. Great idea, too!
LOOOOL. How they change, indeed!
No kidding, you guys are set to take over! Where the heck is the Fort Collins crowd!?
Welcome!
12:26. What gives?! LOL.
What lightning we had was pretty intense. We had a few really good claps of thunder that, thanks to the valley, echoed and seemed amplified. Really cool.
And the guitar was a really cool addition...

I think gagodfrey is in control of the TR. We had a great time, though!
It's not, I just looked for the nearest weather station to where we're camping. 10,649ft is the elevation for the station I was looking at, so yes, we can definitely knock some degrees off!
