Hi David,

Where did you get the Zorb material? I Googled it and got a company in Canada (Wazoodle)to buy a small piece only @ 4 bucks, and @ 9 to ship. Can you get it at local fabric stores?

Hi all,

You guys are great!!! Thank you all so much, you made my first winter hang bearable and fun. Everyone helped me at some point with tying knots, pulling out a stake that was frozen in...

Cool! I mean COLD. :D

Hi Jay, when Nano 7 and being at the MAHHA finally connected in my brain, I remembered meeting you and your wife there. I couldn't tell from your avatar pic. Maybe this time I can get a look at...

Late entry, I must be crazy, this will be my first winter hang and I am a bit scared of freezing to death. Hopefully I can park my car close and get in if my gear isn't quite winter worthy. I...

just me and my men. Not totally sure if boys will come, but I am sure Jon will. We will bring food. Not sure what yet.

50 is good for me. Thanks

Great time, Great people! Thank you Michael for another great hang. Dutch I am sorry I did not make it to the breakfast. Next time will be different.

Warren and I enjoyed the hang very much. ...

I don't know what to say it's either just me or possibly 4 more. I voted earlier and can't remember what I picked.

MerryMary ;)

I saw this when I went in this store in Waynesboro, PA. Then looked it up online. 24.99 sounds like a deal to me.

you're right that they don't post the R value, I wonder how or...

I found it cheaper at backcountry, but the REI link had all the specs on the page. I think I will get it.

Mary

So if the ratings for pads are for ground, is it less warm in hammock. Or is that just always the case, because of convection.

Thanks

I knew I had seen a chart somewhere. I also saw a chart for building materials on the net. I think fiberglass was the highest. Not to comfortable for sleeping on though. :rolleyes:

This is the pad/air mat I am looking at.

I have tried to search for any posts about R value and have not found anything. I understand that it is insulation value of material. So a higher number is better, correct? Is there a chart...

Thank you, Michael, for another great hang. I had a blast, but alas, I forgot to take pictures.
So, I am thanking all for your picture contributions. See you all next time.

Happy Hanging,

Mary

My 15yo son and I will be there and we eat anything. Well almost. :)

Mary

I got it and hung it yesterday. Everything seems fine. I didn't check the loops until today and only one pulled off. I didn't know how to hold up the netting as I am new to this type of hammock. ...

Hi I just paid, I got back from my trip to a broken computer (malware or something) my son is taken 2-3 days to fix it. Have to steal time on others computers when available.

I'm sorry but I...

Hi I am interested in the Travel Hammock for my hubby. I need something big and comfy to get him to try hammocking. This looks like it will work. I have not been on the forums for a while (busy...

Yesssss!!!!! I got my underquilt today too. Yeaaahhhh!!!! It looks great. Now for my new research about attaching UQs.

Thank you so much.

Mary

Thank you! I can't wait to see it and learn how to use an underquilt. Then I will be very ready for Fall MAHHA.

Happy Trails,

Merry

I can't wait. I really enjoyed the Spring Hang, thank you Qpens. I learned so much and was amazed by the creativeness and sewing abilities of the men, put me to shame. Maybe inspired is a better...

Thanks to all who attended. I had a great time and loved meeting everyone and seeing your gear. So much to learn. Everyone was so helpful and looked out for me the newbie. Can't wait for the next...

Thank you both. That is what I thought.

And I second that idea about a monthly hang. I can't wait till April.

I used my new SPE last night and wasn't sure which way worked better, tucking my bag used as a quilt between me and the pad, or the other way around? What works for you? I'm sure this has probably...

My son and I will be coming. I got my hammock at trail days and HE and Doctari helped me with it the first time, or should I say I learned alot from them and am grateful.

I used it for a 4...
