And sold. Sorry, BajaHanger...
Sold.
Sorry to be slow on the uptake on this one.
Flounder - thanks for finding that cached information.
It seems that the JRB product line has changed since I acquired this quilt, but it looks pretty similar to:

It's the long version and it...
I once swore that I'd never part with an MLD item, but that was before I started trad climbing and going back to school. So I'm putting my reliable MLD cuben fiber hex tarp up for sale.
Asking...
I love the chickens for scale.
Another vote for the "nope, nothing particularly bulky about it at all" line of thinking.
I'm thinking that it may be time to part with my MLD cuben fiber hex tarp. PM me if interested.
This is a very special kind of satisfaction. Kudos!
At the risk of speaking evil, I encountered this problem frequently and occasionally the best solution was to join my friends on the ground. I didn't do this on all trips, but if I wanted to cover a...
I envision a transition to side sleeping coming your way...
My favorite aspect of hammock backpacking is the ability to have a quick and comfortable place to recline while cooking lunch. Crouching gets old after a few days, and the ability to hang a hammock...
All technical matters aside, hot ****, that looks like fun! My office just got very boring feeling...
Great going!
Fleece is heavy and bulky, but my favorite thing about it is that it doesn't get that sickly feeling that a lot of the nylons get when the weather gets warm and moist. This said, the UL hiker in me...
I can't pass by a thread about ticks without adding my vital two cents:
Ticks are evil, evil creatures and I hate them.
That is all.
The nice thing about gear: once it's yours you can do whatever you want with it.
I used my MLD cuben fiber hex tarp for quite a few backpacking trips and (looking around to make sure nobody is...
I'd be willing to sell my Jacks 'R Better Rocky Mountain Sniveller (long). I haven't used it in a few years and it looks like their line has changed a bit, but this seems to be close:...
10.5' Long X 8.5' Wide - Large Enough for Extra Long and Double Wide Hammocks
Also, the color is white. Website now lists as olive only for the cuben fiber.
...
I haven't been on the forums in a while now, largely because I'm not hanging as much as I once did. With a heavy heart, these two items are for sale. Both are in excellent condition and have been...
I should also add that I have only used a tarp as a ground shelter a few times, so I'm a novice there.
Perhaps, then, this is a better approach: For those of you who have used a hex tarp on the...
Disclaimer: this post reveals me as someone who still enjoys sleeping on the ground sometimes (I like to cuddle!), so if that thought upsets you (the ground dwelling, not the cuddling), then you...
Thanks for the information, folks. For the record, my main setup has the SMC rings and I love them; they're lighter, too.
If only SMC rings were as accessible as cheapo rings when you're trying...
Question regarding using two rings for the hammock suspension:
When the weight rating for a 1" ring is 200 lbs (the small kind you can get at Lowes), how much weight in the hammock can two of them...
Item sold. Looks like it's going to be hung in the cornfields of Omaha...
After finding that I am more comfortable in a top-loading hammock, I've decided to sell my Hennessy Hyperlight. It is in excellent--but not original--condition. I cut the ridgeline and reconnected...
****! Given the speed of responses on this forums, there really should be some kind of hammock hotline for those out hiking with cell phones... seems like someone's always ready with instant...
Can anyone account for the difference in weight between the TrekLight double and the ENO double? TrekLight is listed at 19 oz, whereas the ENO is three ounces more at 22 oz. To the best of my...
JustJeff - I really don't have anything new to ad since my initial two posts (http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2632), but basically, I love it and think it is amazing. Let me know...
My winter base weight (not including food, water, and fuel) is 10 pounds. The total sleep system weighs 5 pounds, 6 ounces.
Sleep system:

Hey New Englanders,
I'm in southern NH (Amherst, just south of where Tobit) and would be glad to get involved in a winter hangout anywhere in New England.
FWIW, I'm right now staying at my...
I don't think anyone has yet mentioned socks (you know, to put on your feet while you're carrying your hammock to the trees). REI usually has an impressive array of SmartWool socks, sometimes on...
I have only used it about 3 or 4 times now, though not in enough varying situations to write a thorough review.
From what I have seen, however, I am 100% satisfied and think it was money well...
You're in for a real treat when you get your RMS--I've been loving it up here in NH. It's a shame you won't have anything cold enough in Florida to feel its magical warmth. Perhaps you could take...
Neo,
1. I really don't see why people are getting defensive over this blatant assumption. If this really mattered, talk about it after a poll. As a reason this assumption might be there,...
Payment sent; keep the change. Thanks so much!
Yikes, having just completed a move I missed out on this post. Are there still some left? Please put me down for 12 if there are. Thanks!
It's like a juggling act, planning the moment to take the glove off to do something that requires real fingers, and then getting right back into the glove as soon as possible.
And then, even...
Well, last night was a failure. As it turns out, there is a noticeable difference between 20 degrees and -2 degrees. Who'd have thunk?
Also, setting up a tarp for the first time in -2 degrees...
'Tis the season to splurge, and my relocation to NH made it seem like the right time to get a cold weather setup going. To that effect, I now have the long versions of the No Sniveller and The Rocky...
The final piece of my new hammock setup arrived today, the Mountain Laurel Designs hex tarp. I'll be setting it up later tonight, but my initial impression is one of, "Oh wow!" This tarp is so...
I'm new to using quilts, and I found that if I pulled the down overquilt (JRB No Sniveller with a Rocky Mountain Sniveller as the underquilt... feathery bliss!) over my head, it was warm and toasty...
I have a Marmot Hydrogen regular sleeping bag (for those up to 6' and rated at 30 degrees: http://marmot.com/fall_2007/equipment/sleeping_bags/ultralight/hydrogen_reg) that I'm looking to sell. It's...
What, you don't stop by Duty Free for some perfume samples before each hike? How on earth are you going to manage a thru without smelling like a stinky hiker???
After my third night backpacking with just the GG pad, I'm convinced that an underquilt is in my future. I went to hammocks for comfort reasons, and that pad just isn't doing it for me (although it...
Mixinmaster,
Although I have not "had" to, I can definitely say that the GG pad could comfortably be used on the ground. It is wide enough that if you fold it in half (as I do when packing it),...
As much as the extra hammock material is probably ideal for getting nice and flat, climbing into and out of that has got to be a chore--certainly too much of a nuisance for a thru. At least you...
I'm not certain I understand how the large safety pin would be better than using a heavy weight. It makes sense that a safety pin would be easier to push and pull it through a channel than just the...
I'm wondering about the best way to thread the grosgrain through the hem. Although the coat hanger and fiancée technique sounds like a, um, delightful bonding experience, I can't help but wonder if...
Thanks for posting those pictures; I think that's what I'll end up doing when I finally make my tarp.
Warbonnetguy,
Do you have any pictures of how you connected the pullouts? I'm pretty new to DIY gear and have not been able to find any closeups of the Granite Gear White Lightnin tarp.
If you...
