I was all set to answer yes, then realized RL meant ridgeline and not real life :)

I'm in, thanks Fronkey

Congrats Diva, and thank you for the contest lymphocytosis

69 is a nice random number

Would using 1/4" polyester batting between layers of IQ work for creating an airspace between the layers? Not sure of weight, but I would think you could cut the batting into strips, go around the...

If you all don't mind another introvert, as well as a noob, I'd love to be there and see how others hang. Still waiting on my hammock/tarp, but plan on doing Batona out and back from Ongs hat as soon...

Just want to add my appreciation to Shug for his videos. I have to admit, I've watched just about every camping/hammock video on youtube, but Shugs I keep going back to. I even copied the noob ones...

Welcome. Like you, I am new here and have suffered from information overload. :) I found for me keeping a notepad handy and scribbling notes helped. Might just be some undiagnosed OCD thing in me,...

Welcome VegdOut, from a noob in New Jersey

I 'liked' the facebook page, but don't have my hammock yet to take a picture. I could snap a picture of two trees in the yard, and draw a reasonable facsimile of a hammock between them. :)

I...

My first tarp is going to be a superfly, but I've already started thinking about a diy for sometime in the future, to be 11'x12', maybe 13'. 11' ridge line, and the 12 or 13' for extra headroom. A...

Thanks, I think my confusion is just too much reading and youtube videos at one time

Thanks, Spacecadet. Is there a difference between 8 strand and 12 strand amsteel for making whoopie slings? The local west marine to me has 12 strand, but it's almost double the price

When clicking on the button to order by the foot, I get a message saying product is not available. Does Redden Marine only sell 600ft spools?

Congrats on the BB, RGR. From what Brandon told me in an email is the superfly is just a mamajamba with the doors built on. The sf is a couple ounces lighter than the mj w/doors

Thanks for the input all. I just saw a video showing the breaking strength of a 7/64ths amsteel whoopie sling that failed at over 1600 pounds. I've watched a lot of video's on making them, and will...

I have emailed Brandon, and he said he really couldn't guarantee because he's still catching up with backorders. I'll be making a trip to rei this week, will add them to my shopping list.

As for...

On a wbbb 1.7 double layer, and a camo superfly late last night. I went with the webbing suspension, because right now I still can't wrap my head around those skinny whoopie slings holding my fat...

I'm in the same boat as you, Eden, and had to check your location, to see if you were one of the people I'm going with :). I have a trip coming up in about 3 weeks, and have been holding off,...

Noob question. Stuff sack is pretty much self explanatory, and I have seen tarps with skins in youtube videos.I do like the way the skins allow the tarp to be hung, but out of the way, but how do you...

Picture Hurley in his 50's, longer hair and never touching a razor, that would be me. :)




Shugs video's are how I found HF. Luckily I drink my coffee black, no sugar, or he's owe me a new...

Hi all. Just getting back into backpacking/camping after an almost 30 year hiatus. Most of the gear I had is long gone, past on to friends or relatives, which is just as well, as things have changed...
