Awesome advice guys! Washed the bag and tossed a couple tennis balls into the dryer; bag feels almost new again, although the REI logo did scrape off lol.

Hopefully when I take out it'll still...

I spent four nights in my hammock and the first two nights I found I could choose between one of two evils: cram my feet together, or lay right on the velcro strip. About a half hour into trying to...

Thanks for the tips, everyone!

Confession time: I've never washed a sleeping bag before (I've had this one for a while, but only used it about 7-8 times...). Better to wash zipped or unzipped?...

Now that it's been about 7 hours it is looking a little better...

I'll definitely give that a try. I happened to end up REI this evening and one of their associates said pretty much the same...

I done goofed.

I have a 25* bag from REI with synthetic fill that I put into storage about 19 months ago. Somehow, I stored it in its compression sack rather than loosely inside the store bag (I...

As for the weight, replacing the rain gear and hat with an umbrella might actually save weight.

Not much can be done about the cool factor, though... Even recognizing the utility I still cringe at...

Thanks! Yep, a love of the outdoors and a compatible gear obsession are must-haves.

I don't have access to a sewing machine*coughcough*er thread injector--is that gonna be something I'll have to...

Another one from Sac. My cold weather gear isn't complete yet, so no hangs for me until mid-spring.... unless I score a good UQ before then :rolleyes:

Hey, all! I made this account years ago and posted an intro, then not much else after as I was just getting into the juiciest parts of college at the time. Now I'm ed-jyu-muh-kay-tid, been out of the...

I have been in the Fresno area only once when I was 12 for a youth camp (We stayed in big cabins near a place called Jackass Rock). As I recall, it was quite pleasant even in July and the trees were...

Maybe we Cali hangers should organize a hang somewhere...? Say... Mendocino/Fort Bragg area? Maybe Shasta? I don't really know any good places in SOCAL :P . Just seems like all the good hangs take...

My girlfriend, god bless her, is willing to try about anything. She doesn't like the hammock very much because there isn't enough room for the both of us and she's a very cuddly sleeper. So that...

I got my HH Expedition fairly recently. I haven't yet had the opportunity to take it out anywhere further than the backyard, but I got to take a nice afternoon nap in it yesterday.

I'd been hit...

Just added meself to NORCAL region. Icon is all blue right now...

Any comments on how well the Z-lite sits in a HH with b-e?

I just got my fist HH Expedition Asym and don't have the money to get it modified for top or side entry nor the confidence to do it...

I recently decided it was time to finally act on my long-standing interest in hiking/camping/backpacking type activities. Like any good student, I started off the project with some research,...
