Worth getting? Well I do like that it blocks the wind. I do not care for the way it frosts up inside when it is cold outside. In warmer weather if you were to zip it closed you die of heat stroke. I...

SirMarkos, That's a fascinating idea. I like the idea of a little bungee cord at the ends staked down and the strip of velcro holding the doors together. For the weight it looks like it would really...
I have the Ridgerunner. I got the Spindrift a while back to use with it sometimes. It really helps if it gets windy out. I recently had it out at 23 degrees and it formed quite a bit of condensation...
A little bit of here and there and everywhere. My wife has learned to tolerate it for the most part..........
I have the double because that is what Brandon had with him when we did the hang in Colorado. I use an UQ so I don't need it for the pad. I have often thought I would rather have had the single as...
I do recommend getting a UQ for the lowest temperature you think you will encounter. That way you can always just use one. I'm a cold sleeper and I have not really seen a night where I had a problem...
Fantastic! I have had the Full Length Winter Lynx for a couple years and it is my favorite single piece of gear. I have used it a few times at 0 deg and it is so toasty and comfortable. I'm sure you...
I have both a Warbonnet full length Lynx in the 20 degrees and then the 0 degrees. I am a cold sleeper to say the least. I used the 0 degree this past weekend up in the mountains where it got down to...
Jari Perho,I switched over to a bottom quilt quite a while back to use with my Ridgerunner and it was one of the best pieces of hammock gear that I have ever invested in. Huge difference over a...
It really puzzles me when I hear such a difference in experiences. Indyfan1977 I do not for one second doubt that your experience has been negative with HG. That is very unfortunate being the case. I...
I have a clean dry basement. I put a piece of metal electrical conduit up with closet bar hangers to the wall high enough to keep all my sleeping bags, top quilts, underquilts off the ground. I open...
I just took out my burrow 0 over the weekend. I am 5' 7" 190 lbs. I opted for the wide 55” in the short. I have always used just sleeping bags before. I got tired of the extra weight for zippers and...

I just got my Burrow 0 a few days ago. I watched several youtube videos on it and to the best of my understanding they are for Ground Dwellers who can tie it up under their sleeping mats. Bungee...
I ordered the Burrow 0 with 2 extra ounces of down and for my small dog that always sleeps in my Ridgerunner with me a cool 24" x 24" topquilt. I talked to Adam on the phone about making it for me...

I received my RR recently directly from Brandon at our group hang here in Colorado. First off he just let me try it out along with the Lynx Winter full length UQ for the night to see how I liked it....
I also plan on being there with one to two ground dwellers.Working on converting them, but not yet.
Well its bad news. I just called the Golden Gate Canyon State Park (303) 582-3707 and asked about using hammocks in the park and it is a NO GO. The lady said that there can be nothing attached to...
I'm thinking I would be able to be there earlier on Friday too so I could also get a site. Once we have a better idea of how many people will be coming there is a maximum of 6 people per site.Would...
It was after the first snow hit up there so it was a ghost town. We made reservations when we rolled in.
Unless I am reading it wrong I just looked and it appears that the Kelly Dahl Area Status is: Closed. I was at Golden Gate Canyon - Reverend's Ridge area last fall. It had a lot of space to hang...
Those dates work really well for me as too. About time I can be in on one of these with you guys. I do realize that we want to make it as accessible for as many people as possible, but there is no...
I believe Wolf Creek just got 15 inches of snow in the past couple days. Here in Denver we had a few flakes this morning and then it is going back up in the 70's in a few days. :D I have been a lot...
desmobob, I have to say I am pretty shocked as obviously you sound like you were as well. I have had several pieces of gear from different manufacturers who have always just replaced the item with no...
Redoleary,
That is an awesome design! I have been playing with the idea for quite a while of making an organizer and seeing yours with the hanging stuff sack has just made up my mind. I will be...
I donated a while back. I have enjoyed HF so much and all the work everyone puts into it. I just about felt like a thief not donating. I figure if it means that much to me then I should claim it by...
Jonathan, All I can say is FANTASTIC! I have a few DIY projects but, not an UQ yet. I am very impressed. I have realized that the only way to get better at something is to jump in and do it. Can't...
Thanks again guys for all the kind feed back. Feels good to be part of the H/F where people actually appreciate what you have done. I always find good information and ideas from everyone on here. A...
Well about 10 years ago I was going to school down in Fort Rucker, Alabama for Air Traffic Controller. It was a tough school for me as my short term memory is just that, short term. Well every time...
Hey Shug,
Well you have once again created another fun and informative video for all of us to enjoy. Did you ever stop and think you just might have missed your calling as a School Teacher? With...
Thanks for the complements guys :D It takes some time, but well worth it. Regards, Dale
sir_n0thing, Just to let you know in case you don't yet, the military has pretty much switched over to a newer Mod Sleep System. It has 2 stuff sacks, ACU Camo Bivy and the two inner bags are just...
desmobob, Have you contacted Kelty about it? I find that almost all of the better companies out there usually stand behind their products 100% If you were to let them know that it seemed like a...
It was just in my yard with nice soft grass. It was more bothering when I first used the ENO Slap Straps and in the middle of the night I was sitting on the ground from the nylon stretching. Always...
Roadrunnr72,
I first tried some Mule Tape that says 1800 on it to start with. I tied loops in it like the ENO Slap Straps to make it adjustable. Let me tell you that Mule Tape does not hold knots...
So with all the great input from all of you it defiantly makes more sense to me now. It is really for not much more then personal preference that most of you hang your tarps high off of the ground so...
Hey there Shug, Well from that point of view it would make sense. When I started hammock camping I remember that the strangest thing at first is the loss of the false security you get with being...
I have a question that I have not found an answer to anywhere yet so here it is. Almost every tarp that I see here is off the ground from a foot to several feet. People put doors on them to help keep...
I went with what Brandon "Warbonnet Guy" recommended and it is fantastic for me so far. Here is the web site http://www.foambymail.com/Minicel.html and if you look down on the bottom is the...
You can take a look here. I used them a while back and they are great people and they have a lot to choose from. If you don't like what you see or just have something else in mind like I did, they...
Well everyone here is my first attempt at my Large DIY Tarp. I wanted a bigger tarp then most that I see, but making it in your living room it is hard to judge size until you have it hanging up in...
I bought this one from Amazon a few months ago and it is the best thing going for the money that I found. IMO. Works great! Max weight 11lbs; Displays ounces/lbs/grams/kgs; Graduation .05 oz Take a...
That is an Awesome thing you are doing for the kids! Hats off to you and your work :D Dale
Buffalo Skipper, I have been using my Noah's Tarp 12' with 550 cord as my ridgeline all summer with great success. It stays nice and tight just above my hammock and the ends of the tarp on the ground...
So did anyone end up making it? If so how did it go?
Cannibal, They are both suppose to be great shows. I will let you know how they both are. I looked at Cavalia on You Tube and it looks incredible. If you are going to the Hang have a great time....
Man I just saw this post yesterday. My Wife and I are going to see Cavalia Friday night and then Tap Dogs on Saturday night; otherwise I would love to join you guys! That is the more refined side of...
The older ones did not come with 2 stuff sacks. Are they the lighter green/ gray color? Glad to hear you have the older style bag.
wyattd5, I have several of the BDU colored Modular Sleep Systems. Yes they are heavy as well as bulky, but if neither of those are an issue I say use them. With the three piece system it is extremely...
