For those of you who use 2" wide tree straps, what is your preferred suspension system? I am thinking of adding a 2" strap option to my setup for places that require them but also at home to protect...

I want to use Dutch's quilt hooks to hold my UQ closer to my BIAS Gram Weenie hammock. I see people referring about sewing them but I have not seen any photos to clarify how best to do it. Should I...
I still think that using speed hooks with some line with a stronger sheath like Spyderline is worth considering.
Where do you buy cuben tape? I know ZPacks sell it...does anyone else?
DoctorD,
That is a very nice setup you have. As the previous posters have said, your photos of it are excellent. I look forward to seeing it in person.

Does anyone use either a double ended stuff sack or bishop bag with a tarp if already using snakeskins?
I have a camo Winter Palace tarp on order. Every couple of days I sign in to check on the status of my order and I see the status "Awaiting Fulfillment". How true that is...on several levels!!! ...
For years I have used another major brand 10' single layer hammock and was generally satisfied with it. However, I was always having the foot section of my top quilt fall out of the quilt whenever I...
Thanks for the feedback, guys. The video was especially helpful.

I have ordered a 11' long BIAS WW hammock, 1' longer than my WB Traveler. I currently have a 11' tarp. However, I am looking at a HG CF Tarp and am wondering if I need to go with a 12' tarp or if...
Southmark,
Can you tell us your height and weight? I am 6' and 155 lb and am concerned about getting a comfortable lie.
Please add me.

Medicine Man,
I too have an MLD Cuben Hex Hammock Tarp which Ron customized, adding 6" to the length to match the length of the Warbonnet tarps. And I also have a Lightheart Cuben Solo Awning Tent...
Skinny,
I have to say that for four years I had a HH Backpacker UL Asym and I used it four different trips and never got a decent night's sleep. Every single night I would get a severe headache,...
Has she made any with the new logo "Elevate Your Perspective"?
PM Sent. Am interested in green one.
Wow, Rain Man, someone else has an old Holubar sleeping bag! I bought my 5 deg. bag back in 1973 for $105. I don't know what it weights but it is heavy...and warm!!! They sold the company in 76 or...
In many of the state parks and national forests where I camp, the forests are full of diseased or wind-damaged trees. I have not had a serious accident with falling dead branches but have had...
I have one of MLD's "olive green" cuben hex hammock tarps. The workmanship is superb. I replaced his heavier line with thinner triptease but with the lines it is right at 10 oz., not as light as...
I should receive mine in another week or two. It is like waiting for Christmas when I was a kid!
I ordered my MLD cuben hex hammock tarp last week. For the $30 custom charge Ron is adding six inches to the length to make mine 132" long. It was something he suggested for my Warbonnet BB. Ron...
BillyBob58,
Excellent points. I am spending a week in October hiking a portion of the Ozark Highlands Trail in Arkansas. From past experience in the area, the few flat spots are usually over-used...
Thanks for the welcome. I don't know if I had the foot end too high or not since it's been over a year since I last used my hammock. Right now it is too darn hot to try it again so I will wait...
Do you have an opinion regarding the durability from an abrasion standpoint between the three fabrics? I have a spinnUL tarp that needed major repairs after a 50 mph storm because one area was...
Sweeper makes a point I haven't considered. I get concerned about using a hammock BECAUSE of all the poison ivy that we have here down in the south off of the trail. In the past I have usually used...
Although I have been backpacking for over thirty years, I have only dabbled with hammock camping for the last three years or so. Frankly, my experience with hammock camping has been mixed but I want...
