I’m in Chico and was hoping that now Covid is wrapping up something can be put on.
Was hanging on Hat Creek Rim last night, brrr. Beautiful area certainly.
Waiting here. When did you order?
Could use a rubber fender washer and cut the slit.
Box or bag uncompressed. Your choice. Uncompressed.
My name, nothing else
I think the difference between a good stand and a great one is portability. If you have the room for a dedicated piece like this count yourself lucky.
It does look nice and simple though.
Why not use tape? If you sew they won’t be waterproof.
July gets hot. I’d go in June but prepared. They’re nothing like the biblical swarms of Yosemite.
Canyon Creek faces south and thaws out faster than the Caribou Lake side.
Plenty of good hanging there. Great scenery. There will be mosquitoes that time of year especially with as wet as it is now.
Williecash gives good advice. As far as campsites go it depends on how big a group. I prefer less developed or better yet backcountry destinations. But some people want tables and bathrooms. So it...

I’m up in Chico and would be interested. Lassen and the Trinities both have ample trees and no permit/cost issues.
It is not an issue there.

Thanks I’m taken care of.
EE, Loco Libre, HG, etc. std or long length.

5) March is fine
6) Hanging since '99 Long time...
Water tanks situation seems to be good. Just need a bit of a dry spell to be able to drive firewood to the site. A couple of spots have opened up. Link given above has the pertinent information....

Cotton storage sack in the gear closet inside the house. I never keep gear in the garage, too much extreme temps.
PM sent. xx
I'll stick with knots and site selection instead of adding weight, complexity. Has worked for me for decades. Only destroyed one shelter in all that time. I did kick the bear and he swung back.

Wrapping around the tree more than once helps to better protect the bark on soft barked trees like redwoods. How wide are your straps?
You can thin the silicone with mineral spirits so it it is easier to brush on to make a neater job of it.
What is the purpose of the split ring?
I'll never call it a thread injector. A power tool, yes. Here's my freearm New Home I picked up for $20, like new. Great sewing machine. Built the table myself and reupholstered the $5 thrift store...
A bit more info. It is a little more than three miles to hike to camp. We will have a couple of support vehicles hauling in some supplies and firewood. There is now a 10,000 gallon water tank next to...
Thanks for catching that. Typing on the phone and auto correct can lead to interesting things. Being that Coe is south of I-80 I guess we won't be meeting.
Did you report the hose packer that did this? Be easy enough to find out who it was for them by permit issued. It's not too late to do so if you haven't.
I have been putting on a annual gathering for BPL members for years now. I would like to extend the invitation to HF members. The dates are Jan. 22-24th at Henry Coe State Park just outside of Morgan...
Thanks for the deal. Tarp ordered.
Yep that's why you can buy it already made.
Two words, site selection.
Contractors for the holidays
You really only need straight stitch. Perhaps zig-zag, but that's it. Get an old black all metal Singer.
I just retension before I turn in. Bad thing with shock cord is that if your stake comes loose it gets launched. Also a lot of those elastic solutions don't work below freezing. Keep it simple

Enjoy your new power tool.
Looking for good coverage and lightweight without going to cuben. MacCat Deluxe or similar. Maybe a Warbonnet Cloudburst. Open to suggestions. May just sew my own. Muted colors preferred.
To keep the inside of the tent from being dark
I like a draw off on the short sides to make the full size rectangular quilt I use fit better. Then a bit of shock cord attached to the hammock suspension and attach to the comers of the quilt with...
Shoes, water bottle, headlamp.
Sold. Thanks for looking. Thread closed
Sold Thanks for looking
I use my pack liner to put everything in if it's going to rain. No additional gear, cost or weight.
New to Chico here. Will hang anytime of year.
