Would that issue be a river at 5 times its normal flow? Watch the stream gauges....French Broad can rise rather quickly.
i have an Exped SynMat 9 Deluxe Air Pad with Pump that i picked up at an REI Garage sale for less than half price. It is wide enough to cover my shoulders in the hammock and the most cozy ground pad...
beat me to it....used my shock cord tensioners on the tent last time the wife and I were camping at the grayson highlands....20 minutes after we got there the 50% chance of showers apparently turned...
mind blown!
Pretty sweet place to Hang!
Mine makes a wedge but other than that, sounds about like the same thing. I think you will be pleased with it. The torch setting it also great for when I start bon fires in the back yard.
Are you talking about the mini torch? I don't have that specific model but i have a Weller butane soldering iron kit and the hot knife attachment for that works like a champ on rip-stop. It looks...

Welcome from Greensboro, NC. You have some great places nearby to hang. I personally have a ENO double...seemed like a cost effective entry level and usefull after i move to something else for...
I have a ENO Double Nest and find it a great starter hammock. When REI has sales I believe you can pick them up under 50. Only thing I did was replace the factory caribiners with lighter ones but. ...

Welcome and nice work.
I usually find that with patience, you can find about any manual out there online for free. Just search the model number.
Welcome from North Carolina.
I use binder clips to hold it together and adjust if need be, then pin and remove clips. Makes pinning easier and more consistent. I need to try some of those binding and hem clips though. As for...
Agreed...my basic Kenmore handles it fine....doesn't alway sound great but it gets it done. You can pick up sewing machines fairly reasonalbe priced on craigslist and such. Just use the appropriate...

Welcome from Greensboro, NC. That is a little bit of a drive to go hiking, but I don't blame you. I grew up in western NC and it is amazing country.

I use a Weller butane soldering iron with a hot knife tip (They are a little pricey but mine was given to me) It heats up very fast and makes a very clean cut and seals the edge. Also I do not have...
We got a Kenmore that had been used maybe twice for $50 off Craigslist. Still had box and all paperwork. Looked like it just came from the store. I convinced the wife she would enjoy sewing...
Welcome from North Carolina. You will enjoy camping trips more once you start sleeping above the ground. And since you have watched Shug's videos you are well on your way. I think Shug's videos...
I bought my tree straps/whoopie sling suspension from Paul @arrowhead last year and found him very quick to respond to my emails, even before I ordered (I can be a pain with my questions) and...

Welcome from North Carolina. You have found a great site with tons of usefull info and friendly/helpful people. When I tent camp I cannot wait for morning so I can get up. When I hammock camp, I...
