Thanks yall. This is exactly what I was looking for. Worst case we have to sleep in the car for the night. We've never hiked in Colorado, so really just wanting to enjoy being there and see what we...
My wife and I are flying into Denver for a quick 24 hour trip to get a little time away from the kids on October 18. I'd really like to do something around the Allenspark/Estes park area to get some...
It depends which end the whoopie is on. What you mention works great if the whoopie is attached to the hugger and hammock has a continuous loop, but if the whoopie is on the hammock, there's not...
Somewhat. You would still need a strap long enough to get around the largest expected tree, but you wouldn't need as much excess. What I am referring to is if the trees are too close, you can only...
Contemplating getting one of the Yukon Doubles. Hard to beat $25 for a 11' hammock. Would make a good back porch permanent hammock.
I've had difficulty adjusting in icy conditions. They also add to your minimum hanging distance.
Only reason I quit using Whoopies was to get a shorter minimum hanging distance. Now its just straps and marlin spike hitch for me.
I used whoopies for 2 years, but then noticed I was frequently bypassing them because my trees were too close. In the past few months I've converted everything to straps and marlin spike hitch. Quick...
I could probably just put them in once and reuse when I set up in the morning. My main goal is to not have to haul a ton of pipe or 2x material every day down to the beach. The plywood stake wouldnt...
Good to hear. I'm thinking of using a 2 foot square piece of plywood with an eyebolt in the middle as the stake. Buried deep enough I think that should hold.
The bi-pole is what I originally imagined. I'll have to setup and take down every day so the fewer guys the better.
Very true...worst case i'll need a full turtledog setup. If that's the case i'll try and find the lightest and most compact way to go about it.
Nice...i guess i can spend a few dollars and try out the partial turtle dog and use trees as the tie downs. If that works, i just need to figure out a solid anchor for use in the sand.
I'm heading to the beach in the near future and really want to enjoy a hammock. Whats yall's opinion on a turtledog stand but without the crossbar? Would guying out the backside, if done strong...
Mountain Goat here too...i tried some diy somes, but they weren't close to mountain goats.
I don't think the 2 can go together. The quality and service we get from cottage vendors doesn't really go together with mass production. I do think it would be possible for cottage vendors to get...
I doubt it would stick to silnylon, but even if it did, I find that using tape is a pain. I tried using some in my diy topquilt and it caused me all sorts of frustration. It gummed up my needle very...
For the sake of not redoing 3 hammocks, is the simple solution to just carry a couple of spare leads?
Man...been away for a while. I'm planning a group hang and needed a couple of Speed Hooks for new setups. Bummed they weren't available, but even more bummed I shredded all my whoopie sling/hook...
I made a diy down top quilt a few years back and did a cinch bottom with snaps for the footbox. I now want to sew up the footbox for less fuss. I am stumped on how the best way would be to do this....
I don't get this much entertainment with my $150/month cable subscription. This community can truly turn a molehill into a mountain. This isn't a big deal, just tone the giant signatures down a bit.
Call them up. I'm sure they're busy but they should be more than happy to work with ya. You will be paying them so don't feel bad for taking up their time...unless you were afraid they are busy and...
haha...I was thinking to myself "Wait, he isn't gonna...yep he did."
Welcome to the forums. I love cold weather camping. My family thinks im crazy, but they just don't know what they're missing.
Like others have said, the Superfly works fine with the RR. But, since the superfly doors are cut and the same part of the Cloudburst is not, there is more usable length with the Cloudburst. I found...
Can't speak for Humer91, but I enjoy hammocks and take any opportunity I have to tell other people how much I like them. Has nothing to do with me being a hammockforums member, just a hammock...
I agree with ya. I don't get why people think it's all one way or nothing. I'd rather people buy this and learn more later than to never venture into the hammock world. I would have much rather had...
This was the case for me. It was plenty big to cover the entire hammock, but I could never get rid of all the gaps.
Yes, it would be for every post, not just the entire thread.
Exact same thing here. I tried making the 20○ incubator work with my rr but was never happy. Sold it and bought myself a lynx and it's perfect.
The way the scuba site used it was great. I would be in favor of something like that. It could especially be handy on a really long thread...maybe like the mini spreader bar thread where people are...
I'm not sure they've officially announced anything yet, but I'd say it's a safe bet they'll have a sale.
ah....that makes sense. I'll try and seam seal it. Also took your approach on the pole mod and works perfect. Only had to buy 2 extra poles and the 145° sections. Thanks
...
Ball-pythons.net does this. It's not a like button but "this post was helpful" button. Works great.
In my first backyard test of my new cloudburst I found the little rings that are sewn into the ridge line are leaking. The pullouts leak also as expected since I haven't seam sealed them, but never...
That would be possible but I would think it would want to slide down one side. I just put speed hooks on my ridge runner by larks heading a small continuous loop on both dog bones and connecting the...
Glad to see your update. Just got my Cloudburst in last week and love it. To add to the awesome service of Warbonnet, I received my tarp in less than 48 hours after i placed my order.
Questoutfitters.com is where I and a lot of other people here get spreader bars. Most use .625 diameter.
You can never have too much amsteel. You'll go through 75 feet in no time.
What he said. Although I found sewing tulle a giant pain in my back side.
Got mine a few days ago. Love them. Has made my ridgerunner lighter and more compact. I did find they are kinda hard to adjust when under a slight load, but so were whoopie slings. I've found I have...
Shug got me hooked. His personality kept me watching and it was inevitable for me to give some new things a try.
I'm not sure if the multiple wraps serves a purpose or not. I have done it both ways and only difference I can tell is the single wrap sometimes comes loose when not under tension.
I've found ^^^ to be the case in my use if it. I made some huggers out of my extra climbing tubing and if it did stretch, I never noticed it. Also agree with the fact that you rope is intended to...
Ordered my cloud burst 10/30 and shipped 10/31. Doesn't get much faster than that.
Just ordered 2 pair. Should lighten my ridge runner set up just a bit.
Funds received. Sold
That looks good. Just sold the Superfly so ordering my Cloudburst soon. Looks like I'll just need a few more sections of the poles and maybe a few angled connectors.
Sold pending funds to sleestac. PM Sent
