What does everyone use beside ENOs. For my new Chameleon, they aren't long enough.

Just curious!

What is the difference between standard and whoopies sized for attaching the tarp made exclusively for a Hennessy?

I had some Whoopies on one hammock and swapped them over just to see how it...

Excellent idea! Wasn't thinking about that at all!

I ran into a tight spot at BSA cap last week. Luckily I was able to make my carabiner fit both strap loops. Very tightly though but enough to get me through the week.

I started thinking what...

Some of the stands I have seen seem to put you hanging super low to the ground.

What would be the advantage of using 6 ft vs. 8ft legs on the stand?

What is a good ridgepole length to fit a 11...

I've got some lash it. I was wanting something in a brighter color though. Looks like I'm going with zing it

Tyvex stuff sack? Hmmm... Now I'm curious.

I'm know somebody uses it.

Thoughts? The kind I have is braided nylon I think and it's fluorescent yellow so it's easy to see.

I never got a zippo hand warmer to work/light properly. I've had 3 of them and they have all had the same problem. They never light or if they do light? They don't stay lit. Wish I had better luck...

Former Boy Scout turned Adult Leader here as well!

Lots of good advise, watch Shugs 101 hammock videos and you will be well on your way!

I hear he may be running a similar sale on April 1st.

I heard from AHE just this week that the Potomac is Asym

I will be honest, I get a headache every time I use a pillow. I started balling up my polar fleece and use that anything else is too think in my HH.

Happy Hangin' from SC!

I was using the sleeping bag as a TQ. And I was wearing fleece thermals.

I though about the fleece bag afterward. And I figured that I was getting the condensation because my back was directly...

Well it was cold, I'll leave it at that.

Troop 925 too advantage of MLK Day to leave on Saturday morning. After a breakfast of eggs, sausage, bacon, orange juice, stoneground grits, and cat head...

I opted for my 1986 North Face bombproof 2-man tent for the weekend. I have my hammock and UQ if I get brave. I despise being cold.

Ok, I have the option of a tent as well. I think I will go to the ground. [emoji45]. I might go ahead and hang it, and try, then hit the ground if I must.

What about a piece of reflectix as my pad and if so where should I locate it?

Under the hammock, under me, between the hammock and under quilt?

I have a thermarest scout I can use. Where do I...

I posted this on the UQ forum too but wanted to post it here too.

Ok Arrowhead Gear owners, I have a 3 season KAQ that is gonna get a good test this weekend

I am headed to the mountains of NC...

I am headed to the mountains of NC and it's supposed to be about 14° Sunday night and about 29° the rest...

Welcome from a Citadel grad and upstate SC!

God has blessed you sir! My scouts are not as gifted as yours! [emoji122]🏻[emoji122]🏻[emoji122]🏻[emoji122]🏻[emoji122]🏻

Im starting my Woodbadge next year and hammocking is going to be worked...

Welcome from just south of Charlotte!

Hello All,

Had a great hang this past weekend while cooking BBQ for our annual Boy Scout Fundraiser event.

I am not sure how cold it got because I didn't have a thermometer. I can only guess...

I don't even know if this is possible but I ask anyway.

I just rigged my tarp with an over the tarp ridge line and it seems after I tighten it down, the height drops significantly. Is this normal?...

hmmm..... I can't get a visual on that.

I use the soft shackle to attach the tarp to the ridgeline?

Meaning I prussik on the soft shackle and then open and close the soft shackle part to attach the tarp which would put the...

Is Zing-It as slippery as Lash-It? What knot do you use to attach the guylines to the tarp? How long is the piece of Zing-It you use for your ridgeline?

So I made some using Lash-It.

What do I use them for other than a teaching tool on splicing Amsteel?

I'm thinking I could user them as prusiks on my ridgeline along with a nite-Ize biner to...

Welcome from God's Country, SC.

That is so freaking awesome!!!!!

So you are proposing:


Pack your stuff as normal in dry bags/TCB, etc...
Pack Hammock
Pack bulky UQ in a TCB after everything else is packed
Let the UQ expand and lock in the other items...

I got my New River the other day and the first night was nice and cozy. My question is how can I get it to pack down smaller,

Does it compress well? Was thinking about trying a compression sack...

When I got my Hennessey Asym Zip, it had a broken zip tie so I could immediately see the wrap at the gathered end.

One of the first things I noticed was that the ridgeline termination was a square...

I was using the descended rings until I discovered whoopie slings.

I have not added them to my hammock yet, but my son's hammock has them and a toggle to the adjustable end of a whoopie is much...

Oh, I have my hammock to convert. The ENO is for the kids. I'm swapping my suspension on my Hennessey next week!

I got a doublenest in the mail from PreciousPixie today.

It had whoopie slings on it instead of the regular suspension and I am sold.

So much easier than my Garda hitch I am using on my...

Is the ridge pole required? Could you get away with hanging directly from each end of the legs? I was thinking of dropping a continuous loop off of a hole on the bracket and then looping two...

I'll take it! Let me get you the PayPal details.

You mentioned the Hammeck stand. Was there a lack of trees or do they not allow hammocks? Boy Scouts are planning a backpacking trip in October and several of the boys hang.

403 Forbidden error...

Gresh, I wish I could make it. I am on-call that weekend [emoji22]

thanks for the quick response guys! I looked and the Amsteel is .29 cents a foot. That's hard to beat if I can figure out how to make them!

Once more question, would the Lash-It make a good...

Stopped by West Marine today and they had two colors of amsteel blue in 7/64".

Is this what I should be using to make my own whoopee slings?

Also picked up a spool of Lash-It. I assume the...

It turned out in my favor because I spent the nights with the District Execs in their bunkhouse with ESPN and AC; advantage of knowing guys at the District level of BSA.

Lakewood Campground. It wasn't a state campground. 😳

I was at a campground this past weekend with the Boy Scouts and they did not allow hammocks on trees.

Has anyone else run into this before? What did you do, if you didn't have a hammock stand?

So this afternoon, I detached my asym tarp and put a CRL on the bottom of it.

Got in the hammocks and it sagged down again. It went from a taught tarp to a floppy one completely detailed he'd. ...
