Not sure. I just pull 1 strand out and strip it so solid I guess.

Looking at the map of the campground it looks like there are 6 walk in sites now!

I carried mine in. St Francis river is in the wildlife refuge that borders the South Orrock unit. The Trailhead Parking lot has a hand pump but you need to filter still, and if you go to the PL for...

You can dispersed camp in most of Sand Dunes but not in the day use area on the north east side of Lake Ann. I camped last month in the South Orrock Trail unit with some other hangers. We had a good...

I trim 2 strands back about an inch.

Well done trip report! Couldn't stop reading it. Thanks

+1 on the CAT 5 cable wire. Best thing I've found for the bury in 1.75.

I loved my dutchware netless with knotty mods in the winter. Now it sits in the gear room while I sleep in my Chameleon.

Great hack! I have hair ties with beads on them to do the same with a standard, asym top over. Is that a wide chameleon you have there?

I recently picked up a mesh sidecar on my Chameleon just for my boots, socks and wet clothing. I put it on the foot end of my head side so it's out of the way of my UQ.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make it after all. Maybe December.

Keep your eyes open because he occasionally sells some of his gear off at very reasonable prices and I can attest that he does very fine work!

+1 on Mountain Goat! I have 3 of my tarps in their skins. My most recent skin was from Hammock Gear because I wanted a single. Did not know until I followed your link that Kat makes singles as well.

Hammock Gear has single snake skins from a variety of different materials, including my favorite - mesh.

Thanks for the videos! Its really nice seeing one in use as there are.so few videos (outside of yours) looks a lot easier to take in the car than the big wooden one. Can't wait to build mine! ...

Thanks! That was the way I was leaning.

I’m in the process of building a stand from 1” EMT (I’m just under 300#) x 4’ with the connector sleeves. I’m really unsure about the connections at the base and apexes. I remember Latherdome saying...

I know you don’t do product reviews but I would love to see an in depth look at this stand by some one who even made sour kraut interesting!

I’ll take it, the Beetles

I drove the forest road last Sunday in the south Orrock area. Looked really promising. Found 2 stands of red pine near the road. Could be more further away from the road. If you get away from CR 15 ...

Make sure you aren’t in the day use area on Ann Lake. No camping there except in the campground which isn’t open yet. +1 in South Orrock. Further from the highways and far from the day use area.

I’m so happy to finally have the days off to go ! I haven’t filled out the food part of the spreadsheet yet, need to think about that. Is there a fridge in daShack? Or is parking close enough that...

Check out Midwest Backpackers on Facebook. Lots of both hike and paddle trips listed. Mostly MN.

I opt to keep my lines on the stakes for many reasons. I can unhook one side of the tarp and hook the shock cord to the other stakes. I never lose stakes because they have a long line on them. I...

I have found Zingit and Lashit to be more durable with my hookworms. Recently I found a product that feels a lot like zingit with reflective tracers. I’ve only used the lines I made up with this...

Just curious, did you have shock cord on your tieouts?

I bought an argon sidecar and put it on the opposite side from my head for my top quilt and anything too big for the peak loft. Then I saw the mesh and ordered it ( it came today). I put it on the...

By the way Mark, the zipper inside is so you can adjust your under quilt.

In case you ever wondered (like I did) whether you could fit a kitted out Chameleon in one of these baby’s, fear not! I just stuffed my 2.4 regular chameleon with 2 peak lofts, ridgeline organizer,...

The concept is interesting. Maybe if one side was 4’ and the other 5’, and there was some extension to support a tarp it might work for camping. It’s a great idea for lounging in your Enos at the...

Fits in my IPhone perfectly!

I've had my Winter Dream in some very high winds and never had a snap give yet. I don't stake the doors when they are snapped either.

I ordered before the installation video was posted and now I’m concerned if I’ll be able to get it in my double ended dynema stuff sack. I have 2 peak lofts a mesh ridge line organizer and the top...

What does it weigh?

When I switched from CRL to the V I started with Stingerz. I carried dogbones for when the line wasn't enough. Then I discovered flyz and changed all my tarp ridge ties to them. When you lock them...

Zephyr is perfect for a Colorado Company!

Is the draw cord top like on the ohm or does it still fold and clip to the sides?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it in this thread but if the end cinches are too tight it will create channels that even the draft collar can't defeat.

I ran into the same problem on the Midwest Backpackers Fall Colors trip this year with my usually reliable yeti. I had an UQP but the wind was pretty fierce. I woke up with my teeth chattering. I...

When i first set up my Winter Dream i used cord locks to make the lines adjustable. I ended up lowering the weight and simplifying it by tying a piece of shock cord long enough to reach the opposite...

I use mitten hooks but i cut off about a 1/4 inch of the hook with wire cutters. easy to hook now

Excellent! I have 2 sets of the 2 piece and love them but wanted to try the simple 1 piece so I tacked one onto my last HG order. I love the concept but really miss the pockets. Do your 1 piece have...

I agree and there is the added benefit of not tripping over my headend pullout!

Not sure why anyone would try to open the foot end but the thread is called Winter Sock and I would hope even Texas doesn't have mosquitoes when its cold enough to use a winter sock. I last used mine...

Never understood why anyone cinched the head end. I pull the cord a little tight but leave the cordlock loose. When I need my midnight pee I just start pulling it down and it opens up and moves...

If you want light (for buckles) , simple and removable I suggest you check out Dutchware's Beetle Buckle system. I've used several buckle systems and its the best and lightest I've seen.
