Got it, thanks!
I am looking to attach LineLoc3s to my tipi. In tying cord to connect the tent loop to the LinLoc3, I saw a loop I like in post #32 of the attached link. I understand connecting the cord to the...
Maybe I'm looking to thread the needle but I'd like to get a tarp large enough to use when I hammock yet could be used with an inner tent when I want to bring a girlfriend. Rain, cold and bugs are a...
In my opinion, the best resource is BPL:

GLP - I believe the WBBB 1.1 DL is shown at 31.25 oz on their website. That means your savings is 5.65 oz.
All of you have had a nice weight reduction and you save on pack size too. Thanks.
I can see why you made your earlier comment about winter and having to fumble around with the soft prusik. I have trouble seeing things that close without glasses. Bring glasses or get biners,...
I've ordered a WB Traveler (with BugNet) and got the adjustable webbing option. When I watch the video on Warbonnet's website it looks like a breeze to set up the hammock using the adjustable webbing...
Sweet. I ordered the camo then decided against it. I think I will contact Brandon and keep the camo option.

1) How are you attaching the tarp to the prusiks? Did you choose the biner...
You folks are the BEST! Thank you. That's exactly what I needed.
When my hammock arrives I will just start hanging. See how the most simple system works. Then learn a few techniques, one at a...
I've been lured into hammocking, from the tarp/tent world, by the siren song of comfort. So, what do I want, a cold, hard tent floor or a warm, embracing, cocooning, and comforting hammock that...
I want to thank everyone for their help in deciding which model to choose. I went with Traveler 1.1DL (adjustable strap webbing) with a Mamajamba tarp w/pulls. The deciding factor for me was the more...
In my case, bug netting is a necessity not a luxury. In the Adirondacks it is always wet and very buggy.
If I've done my math correctly the BB 1.1 DL would be 26.50 oz. and the Traveler w/BugNet ...
I'm a newbie to hammocks and looking to get my first one. It would be for backpacking in the Northeast where it is rainy. I'm 5'11" and 215. It would be 3-season use only.
I definitely want a...
You folks are great. Thanks.
Where would I go to find out whether there is a hammock hang going on in my area?
I think that is a fair observation. My reply would be that a reduction in a person's overall weight manifests differently than reducing weight in a specific area. For example, let's take the case of...
How does one know whether to choose a HH vs Warbonnet vs Clark vs JRB vs "other"?
It seems there are more moving parts to choose when buying a hammock vs. a tent. The process seems daunting.
I've done a ton of research about ultralight tents and know exactly which one I would choose. Then came along the notion of hammocks and their reputation for comfort. I was hoping you folks could...
