Thanks for the replies everyone.

I'd also like to point out that this forray of mine into DIY could be pretty empowering. I mean as a student I seem to find that gear pricing can be restrictive....

I remember sitting work at the front desk thinking to myself something along these lines. How can I make an open bivy that keep you dry on the bottom, has bug netting, and is comfortable? Apparently...

I like the idea of Speer hammocks. The thing is I’m large at 6”2 @220 (aprox). I’m wondering what would people suggest regarding Tree To Tree Trail Gear’s selection of hammocks that’s long enough for...

Good point Mikeinajeep, I just send you a PM. I also picked up a tarp, I decided to go with the Hennessy Hammock Hex.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. It is very appreciated, and this sounds like a fun, and informative crowd! I look forwards to participating in the forum discussion.

Hello all,
