If not going UL for a trip I will often bring along my Swanndri Bushshirt. Popular in New Zealand, it fits over anorak style but drapes down low below the knees giving full coverage. New Zealand...

I have been using a BB since 2009 and had recently picked up the Traveller. BB is noticeably more comfortable and less finicky, so far. I like the traveller concept but again found my feet falling...

Walmart tent. First and last time I used the poles. Without them it sets up like a tipi, tying the top off to my suspension line. Plus less weight and bulk for my dog to carry.

For my lab I picked up a small nylon childrens dome tent from Walmart. Found one that was appx 4' x 4' with a top loop. The poles that came w it were quite cheap so I often left them behind and would...

I'm right handed and prefer zip left side. Plus, easier for me to access the gear pouch. Personal preference I guess. JH is a plus though that it is equal at both ends if you want to switch.

A cheap ground cover that has been getting good response has been the polycro plastic used for restricting heat loss on windows in the winter (window heat shrink). Very cheap for small portion and...

Paul is great to deal with. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated. Happy hanging.

I have been doing some searches on the forum for distributors of down w/o much luck. Who would think down would be such a common word on a lightweight hammocking forum :) Any thread attachments...

For the workload of salvaging down I am also strongly considering buying down.
Again, quality and price I know little about.
The bag is a Canadian military down bag x 3. I had tried selling it in...

Great info, thanks. I had read on the web on harvesting the down from older bags and garments; some say that it is better to wet / wash the garment / bag before salvaging to reduce the fluff, hence,...

Looking at a DIY quilt project this summer and was thinking of salvaging down from a couple old parkas and sleeping bags. I am guessing there will be a mix of Duck and Goose Down. Is there any method...

Not sure about the White Blaze event.
I had a young blackbear go under my hammock first night on the West Coast Trail / British Columbia. 2003 Darling River campsite I was awoken to what felt like...

LOL. That would be quite a sales pitch for HH.
Great info guys, much appreciated.
I had used my HH in Costa Rica and other temperate regions like the West Coast Trail on Vancouver island, never...

I dunked my pack, with Claytor JH, on a canoe trip this summer (not an intentional dunk). Clothing and most other items were drybagged, except my hammock. Was not a big deal at the time but got me...

Some of the "brazilian" style hammocks look like they would work well. Just not too sure how they would pack down for size.

I've come across the Rothco model on a few sites. Any experience with them? Does it pack down tight, durable? The Rothco site was vague on what it was made from and where.

Thanks for the site on Campmor, impressive selection. If I could find somthing w/o the spreaders, that would be perfect.

I am looking for a mesh/netted hammock for backcountry jungle use. Here in Canada I have had no luck. All I have found so far is poor quality imitations that would likely fall apart the first night. ...

Is it still available? pm sent
