Hello all, I am planning a family trip to Providence Canyon and we were hoping we would be able to hang. We are staying at the pioneer campsite number 2, anyone know if there is suitable trees there?...
1. I hike quite a bit, and I've got my base weight down to around 11 lbs. I use my dream hammock raven in a 1.6 oz material. I can leave the bugnet at home when the temps get down low enough. It's...
I know that most everyone uses buries that are 6-8 inches long for amsteel whoopie slings. So I was a little surprised to find that the whoopie slings I have from warbonnet uses 4 inch buries, and I...
Love my Mnt Fly. Just got done with an 89 mile hike with it. Dealt with some heavy wind/rain and stayed dry. Only thing I didn’t like was the delta rings and biner on the half doors. So I cut them...
Meeee to. Out of my 3 hammocks it’s my favorite.

Haha, I didn’t even think about that. I assure you I didn’t trip attempting a silly walk

I had my DH Raven set up on turtledog stands inside my house getting ready for a comfy night of sleep when I tripped over something and fell straight toward my hammock.
In that moment my hammock...
I find solo to be very calming and centering. It’s nice to just surround yourself with the peace and quiet of the woods.
On the flip side however hiking with a group and everyone at their own pace...
I used to miss having all my gear organized inside my tent with me, but I’ve just gotten used to only having a few essentials inside the hammock.
Now, I can’t really think of anything I don’t...
I would check the rules for dispersed camping. I know in Florida’s Ocala National Forest you can only camp in designated areas during hunting season.

I prefer to have the continuous loops on my hammocks so I can install whatever suspension I want to use that particular day. Whoopies, UCR, straps can all be quickly attached to multiple hammocks.

Thanks. I am very pleased with it. #7043

I had a great time in the Florida heat. Hiked in on the Hidden Pond Short, it started to rain the moment I got my pack on.
By the time I go to camp I was soaked. Met a few of the guys and put my...
I’ve spent quite a few nights in my Raven now just really getting to know it more. I have to say that I am constantly impressed with just how comfortable this thing is.

Yes it is dedicated left or right lay depending on how you order it.
Spigyver did a really good comparison video XLC vs Chameleon vs Sparrow. It is really good you should check it out.

If you are sleeping outside at night something to consider is as soon as you get around 70 degrees you need something to insulate your underside.
A sleeping bag alone doesn’t work because the...
I could get my awl through it to make holes for the brummel locks. But I couldn’t get my splicing tool through the center of the braid.
It’s not a big deal though, I’ll make use of it, that...
If you are looking for simple as far as selections go Warbonnet is probably the easiest. Pick your hammock, your fabric, color, and suspension and your done. They also make their own tarps so you can...
I will be there today between 3-4, probably hiking in the rain. At least it won’t be hot.

I don’t think so. The spreader bars at the head and foot end of the hammock would probably make contact. I suppose you could get ahold of an extra long pole to lengthen the distance between the...
Personally I like my ridgeline a little tight, as long as I can put a slight bend in it I am happy.
If you are worried your RL is too tight you can raise your tree straps/huggers up the tree and...
There are so many options available for function and aesthetics. Best thing to do is decide exactly what you want and see which hammock falls best into your selections.
Check out this video,

Make sure you know the limits of you quilts before you do any kind of long hike in the cold. When most companies (other than cottage vendors) say something is good to a certain temperature that is...
Personally I’ve no experience with the One Tigris, but I know someone who does. He used it on Warbonnet BlackBird on a 50ish degree night and according to him was quite warm.
There isn’t anything...
Has anyone else ordered the gray guyline from WB? It is definitely lash-it, but mine came with this thick black coating on it that makes it impossible to splice.
I even dipped one end in...
Someone has been watching Darwin on the Trail lol. This is a great quote that gets said constantly on my hikes when things are less than comfortable.
Never thought about that, it would suck...
I was wondering why the FT was closed at Juniper several months ago.
Definitely a lot of bear in that area, had one run out in front of me last year on the FT. I hang everything that I think...
My first time in my RR I used the Warbonnet Edge tarp (which WB does not recommend doing) and it rained pretty good.
Short story, I got a little damp. I then bought the Cloudburst.

You can see how far back the ring is from the tarp tie out point. I have a ring on both sides like that and they are...
Something else I rarely hear anyone mention is the CB has rings inside the tarp on the bottom of the ridgeline to attach your bug net tie outs to.
At least, mine does. Not sure if Warbonnet still...
Also excited to get out there. I have a new hammock, tarp, and suspension that I am ready to try out.

I will be hiking in on the Short. If I can get out there before it gets dark I’ll be there Friday evening. If not than Saturday late morning.

Is parking limited at Pat’s Island?

How many vehicles can park at the Short? It looks like it’s shaping up to be a used car lot.

For sure. I made the mistake of hiking the Prairie in the summer once. Needless to say I only made it from Juniper rec area to Hopkins prairie when I decided I had enough.

Ok I know exactly where you’re talking about. My Guthook app shows the Short as forest road 76. I’ve crossed over it many times on the FT just north of the pond.
Hopefully the pond isn’t too...
I’m planning to be there Saturday and Sunday.
My time of arrival Saturday morning is dependent on how late I have to work Friday night.
Haven’t decided where I will park yet. I like the...
When I first stated I just jumped in and learned by trial and error. If I had known better I would have done more research before as it would have saved me some headache.

You have to select the right model. Only certain fabric options with certain colors are on sale. You have to play around with the selections.

Decided to order the Mountainfly. Should pair nicely with my new DH Raven.
Lucky me WB has a July4 sale and the exact model I wanted was 15% off.
Looking forward to trying out my new gear

I wouldn’t want to use anything other than my 20* torso length Lynx. Getting an UQ that is made for gathered end hammocks to fit would probably be hit or miss because it would have to be just the...
So basically the harbor freight of suspensions.
I would not trust that cord lock to remain in place on those bolt threads. The whole thing seems like something you would jury-rig in your garage. ...
I removed the two split rings from my CB and larksheaded Dutchware “Fleaz on a leash” in their place.
I have two 12 foot lengths of lash-it with a Dutchware hook on one end, that is what wraps...
I do the same thing, I cant help but check it. It is really cool to see your order climb up to the top of the page though. My Raven should go "In Progress" next week. :cool:
I just lay it on the ground under my hammock. If it is wet/rainy I will install my pack cover backwards and then place it under the hammock. Keeps it separated from the wet ground but I can still...
