You mention the same size stuff sack for the dbl 1.1 and dbl 1.7. I'm assuming the 1.1 can be stuffed smaller though (it's listed weight is about a pound less), would you say that's accurate?

sorry... black bird double 1.7.

In hindsight I probably should have got the double 1.1.

thanks for the link.

So I love my 1.7. It's so comfortable, when I sleep in it I wake up thinking I'm in my bed at home.

I'd like to pack it smaller though so it won't take as much room in my pack. Do I risk damaging...

I found a cool app for 4.99 for my Droid called "animated knots" by "grog llc".

It's got catagories such as basics, boating, climbing, fishing, etc"..

Sequential pictures of many different...

yeah those mountain goat skins look like the way to go. do you leave your tarp guylines attached?

cool. I was dreading trying to fold it back up like it was delivered. It's like a 11 foot map!

I've searched but I'm still lost...

Do I fold it or stuff it in between uses?

I've got a 1.7 in hand now. I'll probably end up with a 1.1 dbl at some point. I'll try to get a test hang in this weekend.

I've got a nano-7 that might just be perfect for this. only 7 oz and packs down to the size of a grapefruit.

Awesome setup. Thanks for sharing!

right on....thanks!

Cool "urban hang" pics!

Title says it all...

Anyone know the stuff size of a double 1.1?

Yeah I'm new to this and I think I've already contract HAD. I've ordered a WBBB and a nano 7.

sigh....

Ok, good posts Bubba. Thanks for all your help. I think I'll try your setup.

nevermind...I just thought through that and realized I need a way to adjust the length.

[shakes head] new guys....

This is going to be really newb..

But do I NEED the whoopie slings? couldn't i just get tree straps and use the provided carabiner?

Those are some good ideas. Two tents how "flat " does the nano lay?

I like the whoopie sling idea. Is there any reason NOT to get an 8' for someone new to hanging?

Pardon my newness...I've just gotten into this hanging thing.

Is Hammock Addiction Disorder a thing (HAD)? If so, I may have the early stages of it....

I'm looking at picking up a nano 7 as a...

Good replies. Thanks, that really explains a lot.

I'm hoping that I can keep my overall "bedroom weight" with a hammock, pad, UQ and sleeping pad to similar or lighter than my one-person tent...

I'm sure it's been asked. I just can't seem to find it with a search...

As for insulation...when do you decide to use a bottom quilt? Or do you use it instead of a sleeping bag?

For...

The big stick trick!!

HA! how cool and convenient. AWESOME post.

I just noticed I semi-necro posted....my apologies. I'm still new here....

Great ideas all. Looks like I'll have one in time!!!!

Got one located. Thank HF.

I'm in a bit of a time crunch for an upcoming trip. I'm leaving on the 19th and I don't think I'll get one in time if I order it through the site.

If anyone has a 1.7 that they'd part with I'd pay...

That's not a bad idea. I had no idea I could actually get in contact with him. I just sent an email through the WB site. Is there a more efficient way?

Thanks guys.

I'm going on a trip later this month. After lurking here for a while I've decided to try hanging rather than sleeping on the ground.

The WBBB looks to be the go to choice. However, I'm leaving on...

Thanks for the welcome all!!

Hey all,

New guy just checking in. I just stumbled in here after googling some hammock-related questions. Lots of good info in here and seems like a relaxed place.

Thanks for having me.
