Sweet.....
The Indy Star interviewed me last week for an article on Hammock Camping. I think it turned out pretty good.

People have been asking me about the term "Risk Assessment". It's something all of us do all of the time.... we just don't realize it, or make it a conscious thing.
When I pull up behind a car...

Thanks everyone for their positive comments. I've already started to research a new PFD that has lots of pockets, Spot messengers, VHF, and other survival products. I guess in my head I'm not quite...

Solo can be fun, but to be honest, it can be extremely boring as well. after dinner is made, and I'm sitting by the fire, all I'm doing is waiting to fall asleep. No one to talk to about the day's...
I'm loving my MSR Groundhogs..... I haven't had one problem yet with them. I'm very hard on my equipment, and I should have bent some up by now, but I haven't.

Well I picked up the SBP from my supplier today. Your right, it's heavy, but I'm pleased with the fit and finish so far. I've pulled it out and looked at the stitching and it looks good. I'll hang...
I've just ordered a GTSBP. I was originally going to order the UL, but when I called, and my supplier talked to the distributer, they recommended the Pro.

I got lost on a day hike. The trail I was following ran out and I realized I had gotten onto a game trail. It was a minor setback to an otherwise lovely walk.
No matter your skill level, when...
I was lucky enough to be able to borrow a Hennessy Expedition and try it out. It is a comfortable hammock even though it was a little small for me. With the holiday sale at Hennessy going on, I was...
Thanks for all the support on the hammock problems I've been having. I've borrowed a Hennessy Explorer and have been trying it out. I like it more than my ENO. It is stiffer, and doesn't "evelope"...
Thanks everybody. Missing you guys has made me start looking again at different hammocks. I can hang all day long in total comfort. Maybe with some more looking I can find something I can also...
Sometimes it tough being me. A few years ago I thought I would never sleep on the ground again. I found hammock camping, and knew it was for me. It made so much sense. I ran out and purchased,...
Thanks everyone, but the items have been sold.
No, these items did not sell yet. I'm selling them as a package. If, after a few days, there is not any interest in a package deal I will consider separating the items if people are still...
I have an ENO Doublenest with Amsteel suspension and cinch rings.

Thanks everyone. You guys are great for my ego.
They gave me a Backcountry.com Gift Card, a princeton tec headlamp, some Trailspace swag, Nikwax, Camelback filter bottle, clif bars, and leave no trace tags. I put a hyper-link to the article they...
Trailspace.com Gave me the "Most Helpful Reviewer" award this week in honor of their 20,000th review on their site. They're sending me some prizes and stuff.

Thanks, I am going to order a Hennessy, and I'm curious about the "suspension" set-up. It seems super simple and nice.
Has anyone tried bungee cord between the tarp and the prussik knots that go to the suspension? I like the idea of attaching to the suspension, but I don't want to get a bunch of sag if I do it that...
I just got off the phone with Hennessy and they told me NOT to use the Overcover and the zipper mod together. The Undercover will work, but you won't have enough room to get in and out with the...
Wow! I definitely picked the right topic for discussion. Keep them coming guys! Your getting me motivated to get out there. Thanks!
Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. I'm glad I could motivate some of you to get outside and move.
This video falls under the trip planning aspect of hammock camping. Getting all that gear into the woods can be daunting. You need to prepare your body like you do your equipment.

I am, though I've been taking myself to exhaustion before going to sleep with hiking and fire prep and sleeping pills.:D
This video is a total waste of time.... My favorite kind of time.:)

I just found the bivy alone in my local army surplus store. They didn't have the sleeping bags that went with it so I got it for $40. It is used, but looks brand new. I really lucked out.
Great series of videos. I might have to try out that area.

I have the ember and use a topquilt in conjunction with it. I can lay diagonal while using the elastic hooks, but only if I use only a couple of hooks in the center. I use more hooks when I'm just...

I'm a knot guy, not a chinese finger trap guy. :D
So far it's holding. I'm crossing my fingers and hanging low to the ground.:scared:
There is no weld on these rings. I didn't get a good enough shot of them. I do have some experience with these rings for other projects I have done over the years. They're strong, I promise. ...
