AHE Kickback hammock chair
Again, can I just knot the ends of a yard width of hammock fabric (about 60+ inches in length), and use a lark's head knot to hitch some mule tape to both ends for a...
The commercial hammock chairs seem to be very strong and not light, one even has a double layer and weighs near a pound. A non-hanging buddy wants something like one, for comfortable sitting in...
I will attend, if I remember to pack and go.
Just from reading this thread, my new, as yet unpurchased, pulk, is black, and sold at Home Depot in the concrete tool aisle...............as a concrete...
Me too. I use JRB's shockcord with end loops, attached with one inch carabiners to the side loops near shoulders, waist, and feet, then over the ridgeline to the other side of the UQ. That is not...
Quoting myself from another thread. ENO's choice has been to advertise more and charge accordingly, while others have chosen to just let their products speak for their quality with a reduction in...
ENO products are often designed to exclusively use ENO hammocks that are probably 3 meters long--9' and a few inches. Can't you just smell the corporate marketing in that decision?
From earlier in this thread, the incessant ads for truck sized SUVs, drove me away from Backpacker magazine after subscribing for at least a decade starting in the 1980s. I was backpacking to get...
Bought a double size Chillax hammock at Costco last week for $14.97, not shown as being available on line. The 97 cents shows that was a closeout price. The hammock is very similar to a ENO double,...
I'm sleeping indoors using an ENO Doublenest because...............it is short. It seems wider than my long hammocks from Randy and Dutch. With my 5'8" height, it fits me fine. I had doubts about...

With the U-shaped hardware, it is only 112" (9'4") for the suspension. Very clever of ENO to have you buy only their hammocks to fit their stands. As written in my posting about that stand at the...
With my 67th birthday and with the permission of my financial advisor, I bought the $250 (original price) Eno Solo Pod hammock stand last week with REI's 20% off any one, full price item sale. The...

The specs are listed in the link to where the current seller purchased it.
I will buy the Dutch Spiders on 8' straps w/ sewn on Dutch Clips.
PM to follow.
For testing, use bowling ball sized rocks, that are not near round, so you can move them easily in small increments.
Wrap the line all the way around the rock then around to the tie off, use a...
You can run parachute cord through the channel on the end of a king size, cotton pillow case from a thrift store. The price is right, but your new storage bag won't have a name-brand logo on it.
I like the lower cost advantage of an extra long rectangular tarp with extra stake loops in the correct locations for rigging tuck under doors. Those loops may be standard from good tarp makers. ...
I will buy the suspension set.
PM to follow this post.
I will buy both of them.

Payment sent.
I will buy the WL zero degree UQ if Kool Ranch does not buy it. I will be gone to trail work for two days starting Tuesday, but that is not as bad as it sounds, central Arizona, 2800' elevation, 40...
I will take both for the posted $75
Both of my LL UQs have performed well. Tell her "Thank you for making such good gear."
I will take item #1

That thread is to show how the strap friction is enough to support the hanger...
Long ago, Tom Hennesey hung from long lengths of webbing wrapped several times around a tree, then just loosely tied off. The friction of the webbing on the tree bark is what supported the hanger,...
The OP was three years ago but I will comment to others. Good idea about the ridge pole to have the pull weight not on any portion of the trailer wall.For non-backpacking hangs, a hanger can use cam...
The longer UQs are only slightly heavier and not much bulkier than the 2/3 or 3/4 size ones. At your height, the full length ones may suit you better.
That is it. My indoor UQ is a big piece of somewhat thin, synthetic insulation within a nylon shell with tabs on the corners, so it is far too big to take backpacking. For testing the concept, hang...
The second one might be Lake Powell.
Think about slap straps that are suspending an occupied hammock with just the friction from the untied straps which go around the side of the tree a couple of times. On them, a plastic hook on the...

I prefer solo. It is quiet and peaceful alone in the woods. The running joke among my retiree volunteer trail maintenance group, is five people with seven different opinions about how to remove...
Which fabric for every night use indoors?
1.1 oz. fabric hammocks have suited me in the past, but I want to try a wide hammock indoors. My concern is that my weight is too low for comfort in a...
As mentioned, for cold weather, add insulation to your current hammock gear, but you will not need a mosquito net if it is cold at night. You can layer more insulation in whatever underquilt you...
I've moved this stand indoors and it is noisy when I get in and out of the hammock in the night.
For future readers of this thread, like sleeping bags, the cold weather hanger can double the UQs for extreme low temperatures. It is not easy to avoid mashing the inner one, which would reduce the...
In remote areas in the West, where two barbed wire (pronounced BobWarr) fences meet at at corner, both of the posts next to the corner post, are reinforced. Hang diagonal across those two posts,...
Not on the recent part of this topic, but I'm using foam, pool toy noodles to cushion my SpeerJack pipe stand indoors. There is foam pipe insulation if pool toys are not in season.
Is the stand outside because SHE said that he couldn't put that in the bedroom?
At 160# you should be fine with the lighter material, is my opinion.
The tarp with doors is great when you need doors. You may need to carry a few more stakes to best set the doors where you want...
I buy used gear knowing that I can try it then resell it for near what I paid if the gear doesn't suit me. Look for either a 10 or an 11 used, to see if that size works for you.
I'm bringing my pipestand indoors, putting the T legs against the walls (out of the way) for 13' of length. I think I need a cotton hammock, having spent six hours reading threads about them here.

At the OP: IIRC, Randy at Dream Hammocks is your size so his hammocks would work for you.
Buy a national park pass to save on the park and monument entrance fees. Get an Indian Country highway map from AAA to show the region without the map cutting off at every state line. In the high...
You, any you, can make a difference by cutting on some of those deadfall trees. It isn't someone else's job, it is every trail user's job. That is what I did, not knowing what to do, but knowing...

If you see a fence for cattle, somewhere there will be a cross fence that meets it at a 90 degree angle. There is a reinforced post at the junction and...

I sold mine and went back to hooded jackets that I wear all night, or use to enclose the foot end of the hammock. The Stealths are a good idea, especially for SUL weekends, but for 4-5 nights out,...
