So put the IX on the outside of the pl?
So when you say you went into the 40 what did you have on top? I have heard people say a poncho liner has taken them into the 40 but mine won't go to low...
It sounds like you use three layers. I am working on a UQ for summer. 50-80 degrees. One or two layers?
This is my inside set up. I put a picture of how I attach to the wall and how I made my UQ. I removed the binding then cut the PL down to the size and shape I thought I would need. I was out of...
I made an UQ out of a poncho liner. I was hoping for a warm weather/in the house UQ. It is just a little too breathable. It is not quit as warm as I wanted. I just ordered 3 yards of IX to line the...
Great thanks
So just to make sure I am clear. I have 200 feet of 7/64 and 100 1/8. I will add the two prices together and does that include shipping or do I need to add to that? And then pay pal fees on top of...
My first hammock was a Green Mountain double nest. It looks very similar to my brothers ENO. For Christmas I bought a WBBB. (I have always found it best to buy your own presents.) I like the BB...
I have hooks in one bedroom that I use to hang from. I sleep there 2-4 nights a week. The hooks are about 15.5 feet apart and about 5'7" off the ground. That was as high as I could go on one side...
I made a nice UQ from the poncho liner It came out nice but the first time I used it I started to feel cold at about 62 degrees. I put a fleece blanket and it helped but I still got cold. I have...

I am on the road for Christmas in Idaho. The day I started thisnpost I stopped at an Army surplus store and picked up a poncho liner. It was a little more than I had heard they were but I splurged....
Heat is a touchy subject at our house. What about fleece with a emergency blanket? With my UQ it gaps about 6 inches and then I pull it a little tighter as it gets cold.
I picked up a heat sheet...
I am getting a WBBB 1.7 dbl for Christmas. I have a set up in a room so I will use it inside. Now I am using a diy UQ but I am hoping that with the dbl. I will be able to find something to put in...
Most of my problems have been in warm weather or insides. When I first got my hammock it was midsummer and the nights were warm. I did not have an UQ so I used a blanket. I would slide all over it....
I am new to hammocks and am really enjoying it. I am having a difficult time staying a a comfortable temperature. In bed you can add and remove covers as you need them. In the hammock I find it...
@ Jason ya tahrs the place. I look at Google earth and it looks like there were a few trees.
Thanks for all the input. I live in Clayton which sits at the base of Mount Diablo. It would be a great place to hang but a lot of the trees are large oaks.
I did not pick this place for this...
Thanks for the info. I have a few weeks so I will keep reading.
I think it is called Doren Park. It is out on a small piece of land. I am not sure there will be trees big enough to hang. If not we will see how well they can lash.
Friday night I am going with some scouts to a campground by Bodaga Bay. I am concerned about dew. I have a rain fly from a tent that I am going to try. It is not a great answer but I have it and...
The weight is not a huge deal right now. I was leaning toward the 12 but looking at the pictures the 9 may be large enough. I would like to enclose the hammock if the weather gets bad but it looks...
I posted this in another spot but this may be a better place.
I have noticed that most photos of hammocks include a tarp. Is that for weather protection and or dew? I like to see the stars when...
I joined a few months ago and have been spending a lot of time here reading and watching video. Last summer we meet up with my brother camping for the week at Lake Trinity. He brought a few...
