BillyBob is dead on regarding the noise issue. I've done the earplugs too, but these days I put in ear buds with white noise playing on my iPod. Might want to try that sometime and see if it works...

Last Friday a very large hackberry (at least 2.5' diameter and about 25-30' tall) simply fell over on my campus during a calm, sunny morning. No warning whatsoever. Once it was over it was easy to...

Once you have your "real" quilt made, you can find the real benefit (as I see it) to having an under quilt in warm weather camping. Over the weekend my friend and I climbed into our respective...

You're giving me extremely too much credit, but I'm glad you like it. I'm usually the one learning, not teaching. :)

Hold your pointer finger out and your thumb straight up. If you imagine a line between the tips of your finger and thumb it forms a triangle with (approximately) 90, 60 and 30 degree angles. Touch...

I would love one of these gear hammocks! Fingers crossed.

I've got several (loaners, etc). For the money they are very useful. They are not particularly lite and the included cords need to be replaced as soon as feasible. For newbies buying this tarp...

When I decided to try out hammock camping again I bought a Yukon double off Woot! to see if it I would still enjoy it. I've since moved on to a more expensive alternatives, but I still keep the...

Might as well try it out. For me, hanging when it's just raining is great. Lightning on the other hand stinks.

Thanks for the information. I'm thinking of giving one or these a try. The price is certainly right.

Looks sort of familiar...

Single layer 1.1 is very thin. If you are planning to sleep in it regularly (more than just camping), you'll probably want to go to 1.4 or 1.7. All of my family's hammocks are 1.7 or 1.1 doubled. ...

At least they were hanging from trees and a dome. Kids on my campus constantly hang between decorative lamp posts. It's a miracle no one has been hurt yet. Loving to hang myself, I feel like crap...

I got lured back into it by a member here after he heard me complaining that my back was getting too old for camping anymore. Since then I've got my whole family hanging.

I slept in net hammocks sometimes as a (much lighter) teenager and they are just not comfortable for more than a few hours at most. I think you will find that a single layer 1.1 or 1.7 thickness...

I agree with russelj2...for the investment, unless your sleep apnea is severe the nonprescription oral appliances might be a great option for hikers. I have been a heavy snorer for years...lots of...

My wife bought me a Nemo Fillow for Christmas that works really well. Probably more than I would have spent and not as light as some, but works great.

I'm 6'2" 195, side sleeper and I sleep really well in my BB XLC. I agree that it can be tough to get your under quilt just right. Slept in it the other night in low 40s weather and woke up with a...

I was thinking about making my own synthetic quilt, but I'm not sure I can buy all the materials for the $89 shipped DD shows on their site.

I pulled the trigger on a New River Long 3-season from KAQ last night...25% off! I was starting to lean toward getting a Incubator 20, but it's darn hard to beat a long UQ (I'm 6'2" and hate cold...

Woohoo! Order on the way!!!

Look on the Warbonnet web site under "Promotions." He has 1.7 XL Travelers for $45. Hard to beat that price considering it includes a suspension. The colors are a bit odd, the material seems a bit...
