I'm brand spanking new to this game. I've slept under my new tarp exactly 2 times, last night and the night before.

I used 2 piece ridge line because my tarp came with some short(ish) sections of...

Well, my hammock easily lasted the night.

I've slept in tents. I've slept in the back and cab of pickups. I've slept in a very small cheepo hammock several clear nights of motorcycle camping...

All I did was untie the knot tied on the loop that came in the channel. Then I wrapped the end of the whoopie through the loop and pulled it through and tied a larkshead. I hung for just a few...

Whoo hoo! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go hang.

I'm sure this has been covered, but I would feel better if I confirmed it.

I have a new Grand Trunk double. Today my whoopies arrived from Arrowhead (after less than a week :D). I just completed...

I agree, you should. :D

Certainly True. Personally, though, I didn't want to be zipped into a hammock. Maybe I'll change my mind later on that, though.

Thanks, everyone.

I hung it for a few minutes yesterday from some old tie down straps I had around the house. Pretty comfy, even without a SR and with what was probably an improper hang.

I was...

I've been agonizing over the decision to get a hammock for several weeks now. What to get. What suspension. What tarp. So many choices.

Today, after I've been bouncing around on all subjects...

I've checked the one in Boise and they didn't have any in stock. Looks like you'd have to order from online.

Kind of what I was suspecting with the comfort. I like the price, but think I would regret that as an only hammock.

So, possibly being the guy who mentioned cabelas gift cards, it's been a week, have you bought one yet? :D

Cruising around on Sierra Trading Post's site I found this little guy. An ENO RestNest.

Can't remember having seen it mentioned, and can't find it on their site. It's probably a little smaller...

Seriously, though, I looked at that and it seems effective, but like it might weigh way more than even the options I was considering. Anyone try it that has a weight?

Wow, how much is SHE?

(Honey, if you're reading this, I'm kidding)

Thank you both for the quick responses.

Cannibal, you must have responded while I was still reading, or I'd have put these both on the same reply...

Can you clarify on GT's attempt to deceive? They looked like a handy price and...

Hey, guys, thanks for the input.

Bajahanger, I haven't seen any other info about the Kelty coming with all that stuff. Is that standard or just a special through some sellers? That'd save me a...

Working on a hammock setup, largely using gift cards since my purposed hammock budget has recently been cut due to work expenses. I've got cards at Cabelas and Sierra Trading Post. Looking at...

I'll have to look into that. Then again, I think there's a very good chance I will feel the need to get a hammock before August, so it might just be a good chance to go hang.

Thanks for that last link. Is he located in Mountain Home? I couldn't find it on his site. A coworker suggested I look to him before I got my Tenkara rod, but I apparently wasn't google savvy...

I am thankful for all the advice I'm getting.

Re: group hangs, where do you get info on those? Anyone know of one near southern Idaho?

So, to those of you suggesting trying out hammocks... How do you do that? I'm not aware of any way to try hammocks around me except my el cheepo and I have an old friend with a hennessy...

OK, I've spent some time motorcycle camping using a very small, cheap hammock. I like the concept, need something that stretches less (mine had a series of cheap nylon-looking cords bringing it up...

As another guy with little hanging experience, I've recently gone through the series.

It was great because, as the father of a 2 1/2 year old, he enjoyed watching most of them with me even if he...
