I'm with you on that pup tent. When Sintax77 reviewed it on YouTube, I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. It's on my wish list for summer for sure!

Good grief. Thanks for catching that. That is what I have in both quilts. I should not work and forum... editing to fix!

I've used their primitive sites for some gear testing. There are some sites by the lake without the concrete pad so I found it easier to hang. Also, if you want a backcountry site that you can park...

I sleep VERY cold. For summer, I have a 40° UQ and a Costco TQ. And for winter, a 0° UQ with a DIY TQ rated to warm (no idea) that I layer with afore mentioned Costco quilt. Works for me year round...

I use my 40 Phoenix almost exclusively for 3 season backpacking. Granted, I am 5'3" and tend to sleep kind of curled but, it is my warmer weather UQ. If I find myself feeling a little chilled on the...

Thanks for the giggle! Anyone else ever look at pergola type porches (or whatever you call those slats being up on their sides on the porch) and wonder about hanging from them?

I have a 40 degree HG Phoenix Econ for summer backpacking that I LOVE. Was around $180ish. That being said, I just got an almost brand new Warbonnet 0 degree off of a backpacking trade group. It...

I should be getting another night in tonight!

Haha no sorry. I spend a lot of nights out between horse events and backpacking. I'm watching my horsey calendar to make sure I don't pester him into too many weekends in a row. [emoji23] homebody...

This is fascinating! Love it!!

I was using a thermarest Z something or other that I found at Wally World for $20.

very nice! Looks super cozy!

Following along because I just ordered one. It is the Double Black Diamond brand.

Just realized that looking at my pic, I seem to go that route with my horse's gear and my riding clothes as well. hmmm.

I used to have an almost all royal blue setup but, since that hammock's demise, I have gone a more tactical looking route and I love it.

Black hammock, army green underquilt, and muted gray...

It keeps my dog from lying on the damp ground, keeps her sleeping pad cleaner, and her fleece cleaner. Also provides an area about the size of her crate at home to which she will go lay down if told...

Love the report! Sipsey is my favorite place to slip off and unplug from life.

Whoa that map is awesome. I've just been using the simple yellow one from a google image search! Trail 209 is my fave.

Isn't that the truth! [emoji23] a long walk with a heavy saddle cause I'm sure not leaving that thing. Cost about what my first car did (not saying much but I was a 17 yo making minimum wage)....

Actually I did have hardware in my hammock but thankfully, I keep all very secure and on my body under layers so that nothing/no one gets damaged. The mental image... [emoji23] gotta watch how fast...

The guest bathroom shower curtain... dunno why we call it the guest bath bc my art stuff gets washed there. Dogs too. I could call it the "hobby room"

Welcome!!

This is where it is at! I learned so much just from the stickies and the awesome people on here. Shug's videos on youtube are a life saver as well.

Glad to have you.

I have not been able to justify purchasing hammock specific quilts yet so I am in the camp of pad and sleeping bag. I won't go into my current setup because you asked about three season use but, I...

I've got my peapod, pad, a fleece blanket, fleece and wool layers, and I'm pitched low and tight. I want quilts but right now that is a budget game.

If confession is good for the soul, I'll play.
