Yes all will be hanging. I will look into Fairfield. I've been to Dinosaur Valley SP before but only on the back country trails and that might be too far of a drive for us.

My friends and I are looking to go on an overnight car camp near Dallas. Our normal spot of Murrell Park is closed still, so anyone have a good spot?

Which size Kelty? I'll be interested to hear how it works for you.

Wilderness Logics Tadpole will work well for this and for a hammock. Awesome tarp.

Reading through some threads and came across the MMG Top Blanket. Had never even heard mention of this before in the world of Top Quilts, and the weight and price are very tempting. Rated to around...

+1 on this.

Jump and pray

Looks good.

Using the Stingerz from Dutch just makes things simple for me. Always got tangled up with CRL, but HYOH.

I know this is out of your stated budget, but it would be worth the extra $20 to go up to $95 and get the Wilderness Logics Tadpole. I was in the same boat as you 2 years ago, and decided the Tadpole...

I've got a Tadpole and it was the best piece of gear I invested in until I went back to Marty and got a Summer Series Under Quilt. Also got a Dutch 11' Argon to upgrade from my ENO. Quality and...

Hello all. I have a group of 4 guys, 2 highschoolers and 2 college students that are looking for a multi day (around 5) backpacking trip. All of us are hangers, and located in North Texas. We know...

I just recieved my envelope of goodies. New 11' Argon with Speed Hooks and SRL. Tarp Pullouts, Stingerz with Lash It and a few S Biners. Just set up the hammock and it is miles of difference compared...

So I ordered a new Hammock, suspension, and various bling this morning, and recieved a shipping notification earlier today. That is absolutely unacceptable :lol: I was expecting at least a days wait....

I just recieved my Full Length SS UQ. Roughly the size of the Tadpole when in stuff sack. Fabric is very soft, and if TQ is made out of the same thing I imagine it would be very comfortable. Still...

So my Full Length Summer Series Underquilt showed up today. At first glance it looks fantastic. Thank you Marty for producing such a wonderful peice of gear, can't find a flaw and can't wait to go...

I ordered the Full Length on the 6th and am waiting patiently for it to come in.:lol:

Getting an 11' Argon from Dutch, and looking to buy a pillow that I can take backpacking. I just purchased a WL Full Length Summer Series Underquilt, and I have a 20* Sierra Designs Down Bag that I...

I would look for a Thermarest inflatable pad, or buy a CCF pad and cut it to size. The Thermarest has worked for me with a 30* bag down to about 25* but I am a warm sleeper. Another option would be...

+1 on Fronkey. My first DIY. Or real DIY that is. Total price was about $15 and since I can't sew I used adhesive tape and it is holding up well.

Next paycheck I have an order coming your way Dutch. New hammock, suspensions, and Stingerz with Lash It.

I have just placed an order for my very first Under Quilt, and opted for the Wilderness Logics Summer Series Full Length Underquilt. :boggle: Now the waiting begins.

I think I will go with the Full Length SS UQ, but first, I'm going to bag up some leaves for my dad to make a few extra bucks so I can feel better about upping my budget to $175 as I changed my mind...

This is with the 3/4 SS UQ. I'm stuck between this and the Hammock Gear Phoenix 40 or the WL 3/4 UQ. I'm in Texas, so everything will be above freezing and I am a warm sleeper. Also price is a big...

When you receive it will you post pictures/review it. Still between this 11' Navy Poly D or the 11' Black Argon

Pretty good options right here. Also the Wilderness Logics Tadpole for around $85-$95 for a good tarp as you said you would be Summer Camping. I have one and I love it to death

First off I am wondering what the difference is between the Jarbidge and the New River under quilts from AHE. Heard awesome things about them, and I like he prices. I have an ENO DN and will be...

I will be doing the same thing. Getting a Poly D but not sure if 10' or 11' will be best for me. 5'8" about 170. Opting for speed hook suspension and structural ridgeline. Mainly for weight...

Sigh. I knew it would come eventually. I need to buy an Underquilt. Doesn't really ever get that cold here, but I have to have one. Ya know? I got the itch. Looking at the Wilderness Logics Summer...

Going to purchase a PolyD hammock fron Dutch soon, but now I'm stuck between the suspension systems. I like the weight of the Whoopie Hook system more, but the Cinch Buckles seem so quick and easy?...

Looking for a new hammock to get for Christmas as an upgrade to my ENO DN. I will keep it for a backup or a friend. Stumbled upon Dutch's hammocks while looking at Stingerz for my tarp. Very good...

+1 on Grand Canyon. Hiked the Tanner Trail last year at Thanksgiving. Foot and a half of snow. Also hiked out during this:...

I can't sew, so I just tied a Bowline knot in one end, and that has held up for me for years. Just my 2 cents.

Is this a possible combination. Just about to switch my CRL to 2 separate lines with Dutch's Stingerz spliced onto Lash It. I got my WL Tadpole for Christmas last year when they were running a deal...

I've heard good things about the Argon from Dutch. And he has fantastic gadgets for suspension. Look at his other items on his site. I would go for double layer for sure. Length is pretty much...

My only concern is for adjustability and centering your tarp over your hammock. Would seem easier with a CRL and Prussiks. Not sure though. I want to switch from CRL to a line on each side with Fleas.

So if I want to use one of these with an 8 foot are Hugger and Larks Head a continuous loop with a Whoopie hook onto the other end of the strap, so that I can still use my whoopie slings attached to...

Okay so here's another question. How far from the tree do y'all tie your Marlin Spike Hitch, if you use that? I find myself tying it further from the tree and wondering if tying it close and using...

So I have recently recruited a solid group of friends to become hammock campers. We all have ENO's, and they all use the Atlas Straps. I however have switched mine for some Nylon (I know. Wrong...

+1 on the Fronkey design. Even used no-sew tape and its holding up fine.

I have a ThermaRest Prolite from my ground days but have never used it in a hammock. I live in Texas, so the coldest it will get is around the 20's. Most of the time I will not be camping then, but...

Hey Y'all. As the cooler weather approaches us in Texas I'm starting to review and tweak my setup. First problem is my tarp ridgeline. Right now I am running a Lash It continuos ridgeline with Lash...

I have not burned the ends yet, but it does hold a prussik. I used some of the extra that I had to make my prussiks and I thought they wouldn't hold, but they did.

Would it work with Whoopies?

I have 2 walls 15 feet apart, and use an ENO DN with Whoopie Slings. I used the hang calculator, but still not sure how to use it. I weigh about 165 lbs. I'm sure there are forum posts all over...

My parents got me a WL Tadpole, my first tarp ever, for Christmas, so now my gear is ready to go. But I was wondering how I can set it up in porch mode with my trekking poles. Experimented for a...

To you Southern people. What should I use for insulation on those hot summer nights. Will I be alright with just a sleeping bag during the summer? Thinking the cold air on my back will feel good.

Howdy from Dallas area.

Thank you! Thats perfect. I'll get to work

Hey y'all. I am looking at DIYing my first underquilt. I have a 20 degree synthetic bag ( rectangular shape ). I was just going to cinch up the ends with shock cord and remove the zipper. Is there a...
