But then I'd have to go through the trouble of first taking it out of the cinch buckles and then putting them back through. Maybe I should pick up some whoopie hooks

Ha. Yeah. I'd obviously use a stick out there. It's nice that I could use any diameter stick with this method
I recently picked up a WBBB and was working out the lightest way to attach it to a tree. Thoughts on the pictures below? I was thinking it could even be hitched with one of those microbiners or a...
Have you determined the average/normal weight on the 30* quilt? Also, how many ounces of fill are put in?
I'm looking for a used 40* Phoenix/Incubator. I'll be taking my wife's much younger brother on a hike for a week this summer, and I'd either like to pick up a used UQ or maybe even rent one from...

Will also trade for a 30-50* TQ or UQ

Osprey Luna 70 in excellent-great condition. Osprey offers a 100% lifetime warranty on absolutely anything without a receipt. The color is green and the size is SXM.
It's on backcountry for 359. I'd...
I'm getting some cold weather gear for my wife and me. We have 40* TQs and 3/4 UQs. I was wondering if I could get away with using two 40 UQs for me and just buying one 0* UQ for her. We've been out...
I have a green Osprey (small?) women's pack. I don't remember the model, but it has pretty light use. I'll be home on Friday to check the size and model.
I'm looking for a lightly used 0* Incubator (or similar) by hammockgear. It's for a person that's 5'3''. Regular might be ok if the price is right.

Never mind. I guess that's just the bug netting. It would be cool to see a small built in tarp, though. Something like a suspended tent.
Yes! I just tried it for the first time two weeks ago. Check out my post

What do you think about the idea in general for tightening up my HG cuben tarp? I suppose I could use lines and stakes for the pull outs, but I already have 8 lines and stakes as it is. Thoughts?
Do you think the spreader bars from arrowhead will work with my 4 season hammock gear cuben tarp? If not, something similar?

So, straight out? Not at an angle at all?
I have a cuben tarp with doors from hammock gear, and I'm having trouble keeping it from flapping I the wind. Any good how to's, videos or general suggestions to help quickly pitch a taut tarp? I'm...
I just looked a bit closer at the map, and that's exactly where we set up camp! I guess the Swiss know their trails well.
This is the trail map. We stuck to the upper part the first day and wandered around the winding trails to get to the very bottom.

should be fixed. It doesn't look like the geotags uploaded, but we were roughly here:...
Update: images should be fixed!
Thought I'd share a few pics from this weekend at the Niederhorn in Interlaken, Switzerland. I believe all pictures are geotagged. It ended up being a pretty stealthy...
Any opinions on Niederhorn vs Schilthorn vs Grindelwald?
Anyone ever try to hang or tent camp there? I'm nearby for the next few weeks with all my gear :D
Any tips/tricks about sites/trails/water... would be appreciated.

I JUST got an 11' cuben w/doors from hammock gear but also JUST saw a post about a custom 12' tarp from HG. Do you guys feel 11' is enough for the 11' Lite Owl? Is the 12' worth selling mine and...
has anyone used a hammockgear phoenix underquilt with their Lite Owl or Snipe? I'm waiting on my 40* and hoping it'll fit!
If you're using a ridge line for your Single Nest, what length are you using?
I've read that 83% of the hammock length is roughly correct, but that's pretty short. Thoughts?
Thanks, Shug!
Has anyone put theirs on a scale to compare to the specs (6.5 i think?)?
I guess i'll give 110 a shot. I ordered the dutch ridgeline biners, so that should make testing a bit easier
I just got my Lite Owl and wanted to know what most were using (if at anything at all) for a ridgeline. What length are you using? Does it alleviate the calf pressure? I noticed some on my first hang...
I don't see anything about zing-it in that post. Is that the right link?
I'm looking to make my own guylines/tarp line with lightweight colored line. Can someone recommend a resource?
but are they comfortable?
Are closed cell foam pads comfortable in a hammock? I have the Lite Owl, which has the slot for pads. The option is attractive, as I always take half a closed cell pad to sit on anyway.
BTW, the new...
Produced. I go up to the Adirondacks in the summer and it gets chilly at night.
What's the lightest under quilt option for summer hanging? I'm assuming it's a down 3/4 something. I'm afraid that a pad in my Wilderness Logics Lite Owl will not be comfy. Thoughts?
I'll try to measure it tomorrow night when I have all my gear out. It definitely says 12' on the package and it weighs 19.3oz per my scale - that's with the tag, too!
I'll pay shipping. You can send back if you're not happy

I live in a small apartment and done have enough floor space to lay it out. Maybe I could go out on the street in the middle of the night :P
bump. bump.
The link above shows the tarp and specs. As you can see, it's never been opened.
