What Frenchy said. If you really can't muscle the extra < 1 pound for a regular tarp, then just leave something else at home. I mean come on, we are talking about < 1 pound. If it's that big of a...

Me and a few friends backpacked down the grand canyon last summer. Took the hermit trail all the way down to the Colorado river. It was the most miserable hike I have done yet. Only one stop for...
Thanks for the help guys! I am not too worried about the snow. I will be tracking the weather of course and have some pretty good gear to get me through any tough times. I am pretty experienced...
Hey guys, me and one of my friends are driving to Colorado mid June and planning on doing the Four Loop Pass around the Maroon bells. Does anybody have any experience with using hammocks throughout...
Is the zipper on the left or right?
That's a bummer man. Sucks to open something up that isn't the quality you expect, but Warbonnet is a great company and I am sure they will replace it quickly! These things happen. Good luck bud!
Store your hammock? Just sleep in year round at home! lol But for real, I just stuff it in my stuff sack and let it sit. Like Zilla said, I don't think it really hurts it at all.
So I just ordered a new wbbb 1.1 dl with whoopies YESTERDAY at 1pm. Today I got an email that it was shipped already. Anybody else had their hammock shipped that quick? I was fully expecting a...
I am probably going to order a warbonnet blackbird very soon because I think they are great hammocks. Personally I would never by a traveler because I think having a built in bug net is much better...
SOLD to altruistguy.
spf to altruistguy
That is impressive. I've always thought it would be a cool idea to stack 2 hammocks on top of each other, I can't believe you were able to get three lol. Must have really sucked to get up to go to...
SOLD Hey guys, I have an 11' DreamHammock DB 72 for sale. It is double layered 2.6 taffetta black and red (green overcover). It has whoopies and tree straps with it and is in great condition...

I appreciate the offer, but not thank you. I am backpacking next weekend and will need my hammock. I was hoping for a quick trade, but I do plan on selling my hammock after this trip. I will post...
I have an 11' Dangerbird 72 2.6 taffetta dl with whoopies and straps that I would like to trade for a hammock and tarp setup. I am looking for a wbb 1.1 dl or maybe a 10' DH Darien. The trade would...
Just goes to show how great hammocks are. Makes life much more enjoyable and peaceful hahaha
I have heard great things about the Big Agnes sleeping bags. They also have a slot in the bottom to place a sleeping pad. That's an interesting top design though. I would like to hear about how...
I guess I just like honey baked ham...Pretty good stuff
I like backpacking as light as possible. It feels good to hike far and fast, and I can do that best with a lighter pack. It's not a huge deal most of the time, but I do like the aspect of having a...
I've woken up to deer feet from my hammock a few times. Same with elk. I never noticed one sniffing me before though lol. I always sleep with my headlamp at easy access so I can check anything out...
I've been backpacking multiple times where there were black bears. In yosemite we had to carry bear canisters for food, but that was mainly to keep the bears from becoming used to human food and...
Seems like a freak accident. That really sucks though. I know it would really suck to be the uncle and I would feel just as awful, but hopefully he understands that he is not to blame. Accidents...
You have certainly learned some of the best lessons already! I like moving fast and I always end up going an extra few miles.(Usually to come back to the group and help carry their packs and such). ...
I am sure you would be fine. Just make sure you are fully prepared. It would suck to somehow get lost or something alone. But, if you have some basic knowledge and experience you won't have a...
Oak Mountain is an awesome place! I mountain bike there from time to time. They have some really fun trails there. I'm sure there are some really sweet spots to setup a hammock. Jekyll and Hyde...
I just go to a local outdoor store or mountain high outfitters...etc to buy some webbing. I usually get 4-5 ft and then add an overhand knot on a bight to create the loop at the end. If you add one...
lol Nothing right now. I honestly don't really feel comfortable trying to sell anything now. That is very off topic for this forum section anyway and it would be very wrong to try to do so. Can't...
"Syn retains some insulation qualities when wet, and can in ideal situations even be dried out by your own body heat, and certainly dries out easier in the field."
I have been thinking about...
lol well if nothing else, I am starting to get to know people through this thread. And everyone is being pretty friendly, even if they disagree with me. But your'e right, I definitely didn't get...
I like this idea. My buddy just bought a BA about a week ago and he says so far he loves it. I didn't really like the idea of having a sleeve for a sleeping pad, but it would be really cool if it...
Thank you for this. The rule doesn't really state anything about rapid posting, but I can understand where you are coming from. I spent a good bit of time trying to find a rules section, but I...
Yes, that seems fair enough. I certainly would not try to do it all in one day again. But perhaps some good will come from all this. Also, I had been typing so much to the admins, that by the time...
Maybe so, but do I not deserve the right to a notification? And doesn't it seem fair that if I take the time to write a message in response to the admin who messaged me, that he should read it and...
I attempted to explain that part of the reason was because I wanted to sell something. I also meant to explain that I did my best to post with the upmost intent in adding my input. BUT, this thread...
Thank You! I have noticed and I did try to hint at that in my post. I very much appreciate them and the help and knowledge they have spread. I have viewed plenty of forums and whenever I need to...
I agree, I really like your reputation idea. I am currently studying computer science and one thing we have been discussing in my classes is the problem with scams and security. I think a...
Thanks for your response. I think you are most likely correct and I had not even considered the possibility that I could simply become inactive after selling something. I do think they should have...
I see that there was already a thread on this that had been closed, but I personally have a problem related to this issue. Today I made a VERY large amount of posts. The reason I did this had a lot...
I don't think there is any need to get the 1.7, I would go with the 1.1 dl. In fact, I think I will be buying wbbb 1.1 dl soon also. Good luck!
I would prefer a dl hammock because I see myself using a sleeping pad most of the time. Perhaps, one day I will try out a sl though. I have been leaning more toward smaller and lighter backpacking...
warbonnet superfly is awesome. good purchase
Dont forget either an underquilt or sleeping pad.
beautiful hang
Don't think there is really anyway to avoid that problem
thats pretty neat
nice setup
I always just use a sweatshirt or t shirt as a pillow lol
Congrats man, Hammock sleeping is the way to go!
Mostly for the use of a pad. If I wasn't using a pad I would try for the single layer.
