Responded. Old Creek cannot paypal until Tuesday. Sellers remorse setting in. Item Withdrawn.

It is the 8.5 x 11 rectangle. The "Standard Hammock Tarp" not the asym.

Been really busy with work. Catching up on planting after this wet spring. Heading out to set er up and snap a few photos...

got home late from work today. picture tomorrow. weight on my scale is 5.52 ounces in its double ended stuff sack without lines.

I'm selling my Zpacks hammock tarp in Olive that I bought from a member on Whiteblaze about a month and a half ago. It is the pre-2011 model, and hasn't been taped yet. It has been seam sealed...

Sold to tumbleweed. Shipping in about an hour! Thank you sir.

bump for a price reduction. Basically, you get the overstuff for free. $200 shipped CONUS.

SOLD

Bought this last fall, and am realizing that I can get away with a 3-season for my camping needs. I could probably pass it off as brand new, but I'll say that it's "like new". It weighs right...

Yep that went fast, sorry Cknlg1.

Funds received, item shipped.

SPF to donig.

Hello! I've decided to switch from a Superfly to an Edge for my CT thru hike this summer, and figured that this was much better for reselling than craigslist or ebay. Keep it in the community.

It...

Personally, I tried, but couldn't stomach more than two of the other submissions...one of them the person spoke like 5 irrelevant sentences, and did nothing but cook some food the whole time? So...

Shug's videos are amazing. Even now that I've been backpacking with a hammock for a few years, and have watched his videos numerous times. I go back and find little bits of useful info in them quite...

Mine consists of super glue, duct tape, zip ties, a couple continous amsteel loops, and extra lash it. I won't bother with extra tree straps once I switch back from whoopies to the cinch...

Wow, I've done the doubledecker stacked hammock setup and even that sketched me out. But 60' is something new for me. I've been in the conifers of Colorado for too long...significantly harder to...

Thanks for digging this one up for me! Prepping for a CT thru hike, and it's TRs like this that keep me excited for summer. Contemplating a lightweight tenakara rod for a luxury item/zeroing on trail...

Especially because it may be likely to attract more animal visitors.

Hammock hiker for sure, although most of my hikes begin and end with a camp. I was never that fond of having to find a flat spot all the time for tents, and being tied to existing campsites because I...

This. At least they are practically completely dead at this point and very easy to spot, but I feel a little uneasy selecting trees these days. Maybe this winter took a few big ones down so I can...

I bet those pups had a great time! Thank you for sharing, I've never experienced a winter that is cold yet has no permanent snow on the ground. Lots of melting to happen here before I get out for...

I originally had my BB with the webbing/buckle suspension, but switched to whoopies for weight savings on backpacking trips. I'm about to switch back to webbing/buckle and eat the extra ounce or two...

I've wrestled with this for quite some time now. I still use silnylon skins on my tarp, but am DIYing some mesh ones this week. The sil ones are really only for if you want to store your hammock/uq...

My 20 degree enlightened equipment never gets put away at home. I love down comforters, and that's all a Tq is

Wow, quite the project!

I've actually been wondering about all of this after my tarp got quite a bit of exposure in Florida. I lived in/under it for about 5 months, and although it was in a shaded...

Even though I'm a back sleeper, I enjoy change from time to time. This may be one of the best things about the BB--also the shelf. I can get really really comfy on my side.

Makes me miss living in Florida...just a little bit. I grew up in Mt. Dora, about 30 minutes from Ocala NF, and we frequented juniper run and alexander springs when I was growing up. Too bad I wasn't...

I've heard great things about the fishing in Wyoming for sure. Maybe after I do the Colorado Trail this summer I can spend some time hanging up there! Thanks for the tip billybob

I had a hummingbird take a few minutes to find it's way out from underneath my tarp. That was a pretty startling sound when it's wings hit the silnylon---over and over and over.

Other than that...

have you slept in a regular blackbird before? I'm really interested in the XLC if nothing else but for the fact that the bugnet is totally removable. I would just go with a simple dutch/traveler...

What I do is to take the loose long end of the whoopie, and tie a couple half hitches around the suspension underneath the tarp. Works every time, and you don't have to worry about having extra...

I recently switched back from a CRL and hardware to knots. I use whatever feels right at the time. Been messing around with a tautline hitch around one tree recently. I get a good centered tarp...

True that. It would be way cheaper to go with the edge instead of the cuben with doors, but it's really hard to not want more coverage for a few less ounces with the cuben. Someone was telling me the...

My past trips have all been 2-4 dayers, mostly along the Colorado Trail honestly. Only got into backpacking after moving out here from Florida in 2010 so this is all still fairly new to me. Honestly,...

Voted two days in a row! Good luck buddy, I'll be hitting it everyday until it closes.

Thanks guys, good to know! I am definitely NOT a light sleeper, so I am completely unconcerned now.

Thanks Fronkey! My dog is a little old, so she will be staying with friends :(...honestly that'll probably be that hardest part of the whole trip.

Apparently there are at least 3 of us attempting...

Do you find the edge is enough coverage in a decent storm? I'll have to check those pole jacks out for sure

In that photo, do you just have the tieouts staked directly to the ground? I need some hook stakes...

stories like this make me want to spend time in Canada! Not quite enough lakes in Colorado for me. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the reassurance. I suppose I'll just bring some extra cordage and be ready for whatever. I've set it up with just trekking poles a few times now and am definitely getting a pretty decent...

Yeah I pretty much always use it if it's available, but it wouldn't affect my choice to purchase something from a vendor or not.

It definitely helps when re-buying things after selling used gear...

Yeah, it's just "not slippery". It is definitely not hard or scratchy IMO

Kammok is going to provide a product for the masses, they are pretty big box like ENO and Hennessy. I generally shy away from anything sold at REI these days, especially if even remotely considered...

Hmmmm maybe I will rethink the winter palace after all. Colorado definitely has it's fair share of windy storms, so pitching it right on the ground is pretty important to me.

Have you considered the warbonnet traveler and bugnet they sell? I must admit that I'm a WB fanboy. Very impressed with Brandon's craftsmanship and ingenuity, and my blackbird/superfly has served me...

Reiterating what others have posted, I had problems sleeping until I realized that I was hanging my hammock way way too taut. After I really focused on getting a good sag, 30 degree angles, and...

Too loud to sleep without earplugs loud? I am considering upgrading from a superfly to a cuben hg with doors for my colorado trail thru hike. I wish I knew someone who had one that I could sit...

I wonder if triangle thingies would help? http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/store/p317/Triangle_Thingies.html

or you can make your own. there are a lot of diy threads around here dedicated to...

I find that my underquilt breathes well enough--I have a winter yeti rated to 0*--to be not too hot in almost all conditions. If anything I just adjust the airflow by repositioning it, and wearing...

This. Working with down in particular has some drawbacks. It's always one of those cost/benefit analysis situations. Is the time spent/experience gained worth the $ saved and hassle encountered.
...

I have the superfly, which is comparable to the winter palace, and wonder at times if I really need all that space--it's seriously huge. I'm really really considering upgrading to the cuben standard...
