Divinity and lazyboy, thank you for your hospitality! After biking 5 days on the trail from Colbert Creek to Nashville, I'm a little cooked and frazzled. I camped in Meriwether this last Tuesday...

Neo,
I'm planning to bike a portion of the Trace, Tupelo to Nashville this coming week. Don't have my hanging gear, as I didn't know about camping along the route. I may be in Nashville, but was...

I...could...not...resist...:boggle:

Paul,
I could not make it last year, but I will try my best to attend this time. The elementary school year ends before Memorial Day, so this will really help me.
Hope to attend and learn from the...

Swink1,
I'm sorry! I've been overwhelmed with work. Saw this dkurfiss this morning, but am not 'allowed' to go to web pages at work.
Yes, please close my thread. Thanks, Swink1, and thank you,...

Thanks, Canoefor2. I will most likely be relocated to Springfield, Illinois area, and the closest store is 75 miles away in St. Louis. Kept thinking they would build one in central Illinois, but no...

Yes, they have some drab colors at more than twice the price, $54.95 Thanks, though, Triggerhpy.

Alright,
I feel very late to the party. I don't think any of my local Costco's in Salt Lake City had these. But I called the main office, and there are some at the Bolingbrook, Illinois, and the...

I feel I am too late for the party. Is this the 'Double Pack Diamon Packable Down Throw'? I called the local Costco in Salt Lake City, and that is the only item that came up with this description....

I had all my toys on the front porch, and we tried the rectangular part of the porch first, but it was just too 'narrow' for the hammock. So then we went for the prize area of the porch, much to the...

Just reviving the old thread. Plan to try this, the original Grand Trunk Pink (fight breast cancer!) hammock was 'lost' by my mother's caretakers at the time.:rolleyes:
Now I just bought another GT...

Just thought I would add this to the end of the thread. I did get a response today from the 'real' company.


So there you go.:laugh:

Nift,
I thought of all that. Where did you see the 24 hour voice mail only?
When I was checking all the links, it was listed as a Amazon Associate.
Anyway, I had the Grand Trunk Double in the...

I think dakotaross has the right idea that the shadow site may just be another version. But the lack of response by the Philly office, both by phone and by email will make me steer clear from now...

I understand what you are saying as to their hammock content. What I was looking at were their pillows. I went ahead and ordered a primaloft mini pillow, and if there is no tab in the corner, I...

I was surfing the net, and came up with this: if one doesn't type the last "s" on relaxinghammocks.com you come to a site that is similar to the actual site. Screen grabs are the same, etc. It does...

I will be in Jacksonville, Illinois from June 20th to July 12th. If any of that time works for you, let me know.
I ordered one of those military Skeeta bug nets, and should have all the fixins' to...

My thoughts are with you and your family.
Lyndon

Of course, I'm in with the hound dog. :laugh:

I will be in Springfield, central Illinois, as well as Columbia, Missouri area for the coming month, and am looking for any local forum member hangers.
Let me know if you are up for any short...

It sounds like it was fantastic! My sincere regrets on not being able to attend. I will try harder in the coming year.
Lyndon:crying

I've been a member for a while, but am still a novice. Work was so demanding that I just missed the Idaho hang this weekend, where I planned to meet Paul from Arrowhead, and enjoy the wisdom of the...

Paul,
Will anybody still be up there for Sunday night? I was closing down my schoolroom late Friday night, and finally found my Clark hammock late Saturday. I still have hours to put things back,...

Yes, I don't think it is available from Walmart anymore. I thought I ordered correctly and only got one panel.
And it was the wrong stuff.

Boston,
Thanks, I understand what you are saying, about the blends, but the higher silk content liners seem to win for comfort, warmth, and packability. I have a fleece liner that is just way too...

My friend's wife works at JoAnn's fabric, and I told her to get me the silk to sew a simple sleeping bad inner sleeve.
She just emailed: "The real,silk we have is fairly thick and is $24.99" I...

It couldn't have been better timing. My real present had not arrived yet, and the tablecloths arrived on her birthday. Now some of that 'good cheer' or karma should come my way. I had a water line...

i ordered two of the tablecloths to be turned into hammocks, and posted asking how much hardware I would need to complete them. I sent them to my 96 year old mother's house, as that was where I was...

Alright,
I tried last summer, with no success. I had bought that pink (anti breast cancer) hammock, and sent it to my 95 year old mother's house last summer, and when I got there, it had...

I just got to my mother's home, and found my GT single hammock that I had bought for her in the attic (the pink one!). All the hanging gear has disappeared. My small town has a military type store,...

Thanks, Skygzr! I'll send you a PM later today.

I will be in the Illinois area this coming weekend, and in the Missouri area the weekend after the July 4th weekend, and would love to either do a short camp, or ask questions on how to set up my...

Sinister Minister,
Thank you.
Yes, it was many steps, but I got it.
Much appreciated. I don't know now if my friend is free to help me, but we will get underway possibly next weekend.
Hope to...

I'll try that, but all my tricks are not getting it done.
:(

Sinister Minister,
I am having a difficult time printing out your pages to do this project. I have a friend to help me this weekend.
I am using MS Outlook, but it keeps cutting off parts even...

Animal Control
You said you returned the Pawley Island stand, but if I was only using it in the backyard for my Clark and Jungle Hammock, don't you think it is worth it for
$45 +tax out the door?...

Thanks, Iafte
But I won't be returning to my mom's home after New York. I will fly directly back to Salt Lake City.
But I do thank you for the offer. Maybe we can get together for a Indian meal...

Thanks, Gargoyle.
But I was hoping to get a screw hook size? And I have bought a drill to start the starter hole??? What size diameter screw? What size drill bit? You are talking to a novice.
And...

Alright,
Here are the photos. I show an old hook that I was planning to use, and those three columns are the ones I want to put a hook screw into. I think they are solid, guys.
...

I agree. I will take some photos and then go to the library to post them.
Heading to the Illinois River right now for a big catfish dinner.
Meow!:shades:

Back from Central America, and now sitting at my mom's house with no internet, so I am at the local library.
I ordered one of those The Travel Hammock Pink Single Parachute Nylon Hammock from Amazon...

I have a "disposable travel hammock", a bad copy of the Claytor, and plan on setting up the suspension system. I won't be needing the tarp, as I plan on setting this up in places that have either...

Yeah, Mike made me jump.
I hope I used those coupons correctly, as the bill for the quilt and the Ether was $183 plus $10 shipping.
I gotta go get that line for this Thai hammock now! And then I'll...

Thanks, Mike
Sizing does seem weird on the windshirts. Several people in the reviews say they are sized larger, like a person wanting an XL, should go for the Large.
I may just run over to my camp...

On the quilt, should one just order the largest, i.e. Long? Because I plan to use in the hammock?
I am 5'7" and 190.

Lyndon

Thanks, Grizz. I'll keep that in mind.
Lyndon

That was very interesting reading, FishinFinn.
I noticed that one person wrote, "if I had known there was no sleeve for the pad, I would have bought the Skeeter Beeter"
Yup.
I'm heading out...

Agreed about useless, unless this nylon is so thin that using the double layer is protection against bites.
Yup, I'll need to get some light line to make a ridgeline tomorrow. Any good links in the...

Well,
My "throw away hammock" arrived from Thailand, and I should have followed you guys with the suggestion of buying the Skeeter Beeter. What can I say?
It does have two layers of fabric on the...

What do you guys think of this Wenzel steel model for $35?
Local person has two still in box.
