For Sale:
I had a custom hammock made for my son a couple years back. It is olive green, double layer, with integrated zippered bug net. It comes with whoopie slings attached. It is ~5 feet...
You're like a wizard or something! That's the exact one she has, which she loves btw. So if I understand it correctly the head and foot end in her hammock can be either way since she has dual...
I looked up my wifes past order and she has a Dangerbird, so it has a left or right lay I guess but a head and foot end. Is there a way to tell the difference?
Hi all,
So I have a Kammeck hammock that I love and have had a couple years now. I've been reading a lot about many hammocks having a directional lay (head left or right) and whatnot. Is there a...
I'm selling my sons hammock. We had this made when he was a baby. It is 4 feet long. I don't remember the width but it wasn't too wide. Maybe 36 inches? It is a double layer made of a soft nylon...
No. I don't remember what color I chose but it was a typical solid color. That's ok. He has a light super hero sleeping bag he can use.
Thanks ya'll! I worked it out with Hammeck. I've been away from this sight for quite a while as I went to ground for a couple years doing the ultra light bivy deal. I'm tired of not sleeping so...
THank you for the info. I've contacted hammeck. I looked at that eno junglenest, but it is just way too big for my son. Any other ideas?
So I'm pretty handy and have sewed a few hammocks in my time, but I'm a bit short on time and want to buy my son a hammock. I'm looking for a hammock with a zippered bug net to keep him from 1. ...
Howdy Tim! I didn't realize you were a hanger. I'll post up some pics when I get it all set up. I need to order some Whoopie Slings and a few other odds and ends. My friend helped me get my own...
Update:
I decided on a double layer ala Z-Risk style so I can slide a CCF pad in there. That should take care of the warmth and mosquito issue. The hammock is 5 feet by 3 feet. My friend is...
I like the idea of omni tape. I'll have to consider that one. It's going to happen for sure. I'll post pics when it does.
Thanks for the advice. That was kind of what I was thinking (hanging low and cutting it down).
What width/length do you think would be appropriate? I'm not to worried about him out growing it...
Howdy all,
My wife and I usually do some type of bicycle tour. With the addition of our little one who is now almost a year and a half we are confidant enough to begin the planning stages of a...
I forgot to mention, you can get away without using a lot of stuff. Usually extra clothes is the biggest waste of space. And most people starting out bring WAY to much food. 2 tips I wish someone...
Well, let's see...Off the top of my head...
Wingnut 3.0 pack (800 c.i. pack)
Down jacket
cat can stove/Ti pot/spork/bic lighter
8x10 rain fly
various odd and ends like snacks and bike repair...
A have a family blog but to be honest I'm pretty lazy and keeping up with it.
Thanks for the compliments. We don't always get to ride everything, sometimes we have to hoof it just like the rest...
Correct, I have a fly/UQ/TQ set up. I'm just looking to make a newer hammock body and it's been awhile since I've done that. Space is VERY limited in my set-up so I generally don't bring a full bug...
That is perfect. Exactly what I need. So really it looks like I just need to get my hammock body made and then the rest I'll probably just use the Whoopie Slings and accessories. That makes it...
So I'm looking at making a new hammock for myself. It has been a while and I'm finding that there are some new people selling new products (Whoopie Slings for example). So, this list is what I...
I'll be attempting to through ride the Colorado Trail (2nd attempt). Also have a 4 day training ride in the Ouachita/Womble area in October.
Geez, it's like following a ton of different rabbit holes that all have info. Thanks guys! It's been awhile since I've been on here so it's kind of neat to see a lot of new stuff out.
Is there a...
Where can I find Shug's videos?
I'm fine with tying the knots for the fly, it's just kind of a pain in the morning to untie them when my hands feel like frozen meat sticks. I've never used the figure 9's. I'll pick some up and...
Ok, this is for 3 season camping with possible temps as low as 32ish degrees in the Colorado Mtns.
Homemade hammock with carabiners/buckles for quick set-up. Have Whoopie slings but haven't...
Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out what the quickest way to deploy my tarp (mac cat from Speer I think? It's definately from Speer) is. It's always the biggest fiddle factor to me. Would snake...
I tried to search but couldn't find the answer. I am a side sleeper. I have a MYO hammock. It's just a basic hammock with gathered ends. I have trouble getting comfortable because I am a side...
I know a guy who raced it on his bike and used a hammock every night. He had to get creative one night (using the big sign posts) but he made it work.
Mike makes some awesome stuff. I have a 3/4 UQ from him that I LOVE. When I get the funds I'll be getting a quilt from him as well. You can't go wrong.
Me and a couple friends went on a bikepacking trip to Arkansas a couple weeks ago. We all used hammocks. 2 were DIY, 1 a HH ultralight, 1 a Mosquito No net. The HH sleeper didn't sleep to well due...
What is the weight of this quilt? I'm 5'10 so I know it's more than long enough, but I'm more concerned about the weight and compressability.
Thanks!
you can pm me if you prefer.
Hey all,
I'm planning on doing another bikepacking trip for my spring break on the Ouachita Trail. I will be using a DIY top loading hammock, single layer. In the past I've used a double layer. ...
Thanks ya'll. I ordered from them. It was probably 10 bucks more expensive overall but that's ok.
OWF is out of stock on the polyester webbing. I need to buy some asap. Who else sells it? I've only ever used them so I'm at a loss on what to use for hammock straps.
I use the straps and buckles...
so hold on, i want to make sure of what I'm going to do. Ya'll are saying that yes, I can buy one of those micro carabiners and hang a hammock from them safely?
who on here does sewing for hire?
I'm looking for a 3/4 length (torso) underquilt that could get me down to 30 degrees. Does anyone sale them?
I'm not trying to make it down to 20 degrees, I'm trying to make it down to about 40ish.
so a 1/4 inch pad in a 20 degree bag with 2 light wool tops on and full leggings and wool socks and a head cap wouldn't do it? I do sleep cool, not cold btw.
So I'm trying to go as ultralight as my equipment will allow. I've got a single layer hammock that I use but I don't use an underquilt. I'm wanting to lighten up from my Thermarest Prolite 3 short...
so what is your question? There are several on this board that "lurk" and have a lot of bikecamping experience. Some of us even have a Carousel Design Works set up.
Welcome!
