Cougarmeat, click “reply with quote” on my post here, then look at the HTML. The shorter HTML is...
I used to use a Warbonnet sock when winter camping and it really did help seal out the wind better than just using an underquilt protector and pitching my tarp low and snug. I didn’t like only being...
Thoroughly enjoying your summaries and all the gorgeous photos!!!
I respectfully disagree with the dealer. One of the first tarps I ever had was a Warbonnet Edge, which is even more minimalist than the MiniFly (the MiniFly is essentially the Edge with the addition...
Oh, wow, TominMN! That's a really good point that I absolutely had not thought of! So far I've skated by without observable consequence, but I SHOULD attach my SRL to the CL's that I've secondarily...
I’m glad to hear you’re health has returned and you’re reopening!
Valhalla, it just dawned on me that if you are using your XLC’s original suspension, you probably don’t have suitable continuous loops to hang your hammock directly onto the Tensa, thus bypassing...
Oh. That makes sense. Just out of curiosity, are you hanging your XLC directly on its continuous loops (ie not using suspension straps or Whoopie slings at all…just the bare continuous loops over...
Back yard testing is definitely the way to go! Valhalla, have you tried shortening the strap that connects the two V’s along the ground? I think as you bring the points of the two V’s (where the...
Thanks, Cougarmeat! They were super quick and easy to whip up! I turned the Hexon wrong-side out so that it would be duller and more muted side of the fabric showing. I mean if I didn't want the...
Yes! And it will be quicker for you to whip a full set up, since you only have to cover two legs instead of four! :)
Two things would stop me, personally, from painting them:
1) I...
Thanks, Watertooner! :)
Here was my set up when I camped two weeks ago in Oklahoma with my dog…
(The small three sided wind break tent was his.)

I like my campsite to harmonize with the woods. Even though as a general rule, I DON’T like camo, when it comes to my hammock gear it has become my favorite “color” over the years! When I’m...
Breath takingly beautiful! Especially the 11th picture down where the mountains beyond can be glimpsed through the trees. Love your elegant snow camo gear, too!
Enjoyed the video! Thanks for posting it here!
Awesome! I can’t wait to see the v2.0 Trekking Treez!
I enjoyed your video! Thanks for sharing it! Also, I really like that tree table you have. Who makes it?
Nice montage of clips and photos! Looks like it was fun even though rainy!
Thank you for posting a report of the trip, Runners_low! After missing these past two years, I’m resolving to make it next year. I’m glad the tradition continues! Thanks, TwentyBelow for reminding...

I’ve crudely drawn in what the leaves obscured…my Amsteel line V’ing between the two legs, anchored with an...
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Okay, Shuggo, old buddy, I’ve gotten way too much amusement out of watching this video repeatedly! :lol:
If you scroll down through the various posts on this thread, a handful of different bikers have weighed in showing and telling how packable the Tensa is on their bikes.
I’m so glad to hear you are home again! Give yourself plenty of time to heal. Covid is wicked and recovery can take a really long time, so be patient with yourself and don’t push too hard. We are...
Welcome to the forums, AniOutdoor!
I use titanium nails with the lash-it and Dutch Hookworms permanently attached to each stake (nail). Then I only have a small 1/8 shock cord loop permanently attached to each tie-out point of my...
I started out using two piece skins, but once I tried my first one piece skin, I was hooked.
I also prefer my one piece skin to be made out of mesh (much easier to work with than silnylon) and to...
Looks great and I love the pattern on the tarp! Nothing like having gear you made yourself! My non-camping hammock is a DIY and it just makes me happy every time I get to hang in it! You can DIY...
Prayers now and ongoing for George for a full recovery. Please keep us updated on his progress Adamant0.
Nice tarp! But why are you going to ground??? Also, I’ve never heard of a Blake’s hitch before, but you have my curiosity piqued! It looks like a prussic knot…? Never thought of rigging a tarp’s...
Nice to hear it went well! You're wise trying your gear out at home before having to rely on it in the field with no escape option. :)
My all time favorite, most comfortable hammock was custom made by Jared years ago and, as I recall, it arrived in my mailbox less than 72 hours after I had ordered it. It is shocking how FAST his...
Payment sent and replied to your PM.
THANKS!
I'll take it!
I would totally second that! I'm now a Missourian (former Kansan--born and raised in Kansas) and still drop down to the Arkansas Ozarks to do most of my hiking...so gorgeous down there!!!
Ha Ha! Totally!!! ...Well, I thoroughly enjoyed looking through your portfolio! Looks like some really awesome places to field-test new quilts! :)
If I were Trailheadz I'd think about giving...
Wow! You've got some gorgeous photos in your portfolio on your website!
Sorry I can't give you any feedback on the quilts. Don't have any from that particular vendor.
Mattmunee, are you affiliated with the company? Your avatar is surprisingly similar to their logo with the mountain peaks and serpentine trail:

Great question Peter8. When making a "Solo" out of the pieces of my Tensa4, I only use ONE HALF of a SINGLE leg (out of the 4 legs--each leg made up of two Solo-sized sections) to hang from a single...
Peter8, looks like ScottS (above) has a photo of a one tree hang with a Solo. I also had posted a photo of a one tree hang utilizing a Tensa Solo in the Tensa4 Hammock Stand thread. (I actually...
You are sure welcome to add the photo Latherdome! …and there totally needs to be a Gravity Bender T-shirt! :laugh:
Why? :lol:

This was quite stable using only one ground anchor (attached to the foot of each pole and secured into the...
Thanks!!! You should, Crazytown3!!!…and post pics to prove you did!!!
Thanks, Low Tech! I might just head over there and do that, but I wish now that I’d brushed the leaves away so it...
Took the Tensa with me to Nebraska this weekend when we visited our oldest daughter. I got it into the trunk of the car under the pretext of just wanting to “show” it to our hammock camping...
What a cool (SECOND) admirer!
Once, some children day hiking past the campsite where my daughters and I had our tarped hammocks pitched excitedly ran back to hurry their parents more quickly down...
If I was only allowed to keep one of my tarps (Edge, MiniFly, ThunderFly, Cloudburst, or SuperFly), I’d pick the SuperFly….even though it doesn’t get taken with me the most often. If I could only...
I'm a bit partial to those panel pulls! :) I probably use mine (with Dutch's light, easy to pack, pole mods) at least half the time. I was delighted when I saw my Thunderfly had pull outs just...
