I'm way too new of a member to know about SGT Rock, but I really like Jeff Myers's channel on YT, he has all sorts of ideas about suspension and sells on eBay and Etsy, I believe.

My Draumr 5.0, non-UL version, just shipped... will certainly add my thoughts and pics once I've gotten it setup and tried out.
Howdy all,
Looking to get out and do some hiking this year. Work has been busy and I need some time off. Any one got some trips planned, 1-2 days preferably, for this summer and fall (and winter,...
Thanks, all. Haven't yet gotten out this Spring and Summer, been letting work pretty much drain all my time, needing an escape . . .
No worries, it looks like you had fun. Also, it makes me wonder if my gear would be up to snuff for similar temps.
If any other folks still want to head out, I'm game.
The week of Feb 17 would be great. I can plan for several days off for that week.
17-18th would be fine with me, and I could probably survive a 17-19th, as well.
As for meeting, yeah, that's a great idea. I know the DTC area best, or we could do Castle Rock if you're closer to...
I am not sure I can take much time off, so I am thinking that a one-nighter, 1/18-1/19, is best for me. I might be able to get the 17th off if that's what everyone wants to do (17th, 18th, 19th), and...
We figuring out the timeframe, still? It's going to be quite cold down here in the Springs over the next few days, possibly with snow, so I'm gonna keep testing my setup.
Agreed, very cool to see the parts list and instructions and ideas. I'm saving it. :)
I put up my new tarp this last weekend to see how it fares and while it's not quite designed with doors, I was...
/me looks over at pile of gear and sees three knives, a hatchet, a firestarter kit w/fatwood and ferro rod, water filtration, old cotton t-shirts for making char cloth, etc
Can you fall down...
What was the total cost, if you don't mind me asking? Do you have a parts list (I may have missed it)?
Nice setup!
I just recently had a week's vacation to Tokyo so I doubt my boss will be keen on letting me take multiple days so soon, but I could probably get the 17th off, and have Fri-Sun...
Thanks! Yes, yet another rabbithole . . . [emoji16]

The pulk setup looks pretty cool, and quite useful, something to keep in mind for the future. I think my kit is just about done, have the clothing layers pretty much figured out, got the heavier tarp...
Right on, thanks for the tips. I'm looking at those shoes and spikes.
I've been looking at snow shoes and it looks like since I'm a fat b*stard I may need some large shoes . . . I weigh 220lbs, and with my pack likely being around 35-40lbs, I'm looking at 250-300lb...
No problem, I listed almost all of my stuff assuming it'd be too much, lol. Knowing what folks do helps get the concept so I appreciate it. I do know that each person is different, so I'll pare it...
Are trekking poles and/or snowshoes a good idea? They're not costly, so I can grab some.
I'm in Colorado Springs, willing to drive hopefully no longer than 2.5-3 hours, but for the right trip I'll do more. I'm pretty much open to any location, though really tough treks might kick my...
We talking trekking pole and snowshoe deep? If so, I can pick some up, don't have those yet. :D Have a location in mind already? I'd like to peek at the maps and if any registration or paperwork...
I know I'm coming in late to this conversation, but I'm in Colorado Springs, and am wanting to do some winter hammocking with some experienced folks. You two got any other trips planned? I think a...
Hi All!
Name's Richard, and as the subject says I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I'm new to hammocking but have a nice little kit already and am eager to get out and hang, perhaps even do...
