Ok so a while ago I posted about how I just never had a good night on a hammock. I don't think I have posted since then however, I have gone on many trips since and wish to make another statement. I...
Looking at a 33 degree night, the rest are all above 40 by a good amount. What do you do with you UQ to stretch it down a few degrees?
Ok so I wouldn't say I'm new to hammocking but really I've never had anyone of superior hammock knowledge near me so I have been doing it my own way as I go. So I have two warbonnets, the blackbird...
I've seen bug nets and DIY projects at around 7 to 12 oz. is there anything lighter, even a DIY setup?
So I finally got to hang with my new suspension and under quilt. I noticed now though that the ridge line is considerable tourer now no matter how I angled the suspension. It's as if its been...
Wow awesome. I think I'm just going to get the pre made ones and have two sets of whoopies! I LOVE DUTCHWARE!
So i have decided to buy whoopie hooks but it looks like you have to buy them already attached to whoopie slings. If i have whoopie slings already, is there a way of buying just the hooks and adding...
This is a synthetic sleeping bag made in the mummy style. It is very warm (I was able to use it below 20 degrees easily) and is in great condition. Stored properly and has no rips or blemishes....
I know GUYS!!! You have to test your gear first. I just want to have the the right setup to test first. So i asked how other would do in this setup. Thanks all for your advice. I know it is...
Ok so i have a 20 degree leighlo underquilt (which i wont mention just doesn't seem substantial enough to be that warm but we will see) and i cut a square off of a blue CCF pad. I also have a 30*...

So i wanted to use a lighter line for the ridge line, something like some 1.75 zing it/lash it. I also wanted to experiment a little about length of the ridge line to change the lay. However, i was...
any chance someone wants to update this spreadsheet?
Ok so i have a warbonnet blackbird 1.1 dl hammock. I have whoopie slings (not dyna glide) and 6 foot tree huggers and toggles. In the stuff sack I'm at 25.1 oz. What else could i do to the hammock to...
I have a warbonnet blackbird dl 1.1 and a 20* leighlo down UQ. I am very tall so the 66 inch long UQ only goes so far down my legs. I need a pad that is warm enough to match the 20* of the UQ (or...
Ok so I just purchased a Jan 2012 Leighlo 20* underquilt. Its 66 inches long.
My first question is how far will this 20 degree take me. Obviously sleeping is a individual thing so I welcome many...

Whats the lightest 20-30 degree top quilt out there?
NICE! This is the type of info i love getting on this forum. I never heard of underground quilts custom ordering. Do you have experience with how customized you can make it. Like Length, width,...
nevermind missed the original date of the OP
does anyone know how this one is different from the current 4 season cuben tarp from hammock gear at 6.5 oz?
you might have, but then again you're you and I'm me. Also, I've seen that page maybe 100 times already and IT IS rather out dated. I was not trying to be rude, I was aware of that page and it's info...
Ok so im lookign to do the top down full zion narrows trail and im going to do an over nighter for fun. Does anyone have experience with this trail in terms of hammock hanging. I know the end will be...

I just might do that thanks !
this looks easy enough for me to do! About to have the most tensiony tarp tensioners tensioning tension.
I have a lot of research into the matter and as of now the longest ones i can find are around 52 to 54 inches. As i am tall i want a 3/4 that's a little longer to compensate. Anybody know UQ that are...
I am laughing so hard at this. classic.
I read somewhere in a recent study that Hammock Bullying drastically decreased with a steady dose of being in your hammock alone in the beautiful woods listening to the world breath.
im 6' 6'' 230 and fit well on a warbonnet blackbird 1.1 double layer
I need to learn how to sew!!
I am looking to purchase a whoopie sling ridgleine to fine tune the exact sag I am looking for on my Warbonnet BB. I weight around 235 lbs. I've been told this really isn't a problem but only by one...

i live in a small apt in NYC no chance i could sting my hammock up anywhere.
i love my warbonnet blackbird and personally believe it is a beautiful piece of equipment
I use a truckers hitch or taut line hitch to secure the one end of the ridgline and a 9-biner at the other end to tighten to my liking. Then i put a slippery half hitch in there for support. this...
