    I've napped in both, and as Shug mentions in his video, it often deals with how you hang the hammock as I've experienced calf ridge in both and I've experienced no calf ridge in both. I find them...

    I'm happy to help as best as I can. I still own and run Bonefire Gear[emoji769] but I closed down the website to minimize orders so that I can focus on my family. While I can't make the original...

    Zoe (my dog) and I should be able to arrive by dinner on Thursday.

    Good to know. I'll add myself to the list with Detail Man and his plus one.

    I plan on coming in on Thursday after lunch sometime and then heading out on Saturday morning. I'll bring my chili for...

    Our participation will depend on the weather. While I camp in all weather, Little Bear doesn't yet. I'll make a final call tomorrow, but it isn't looking good.

    I am hopeful that I will be coming for one night with Little Bear.

    I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the report. This seems like a great way to tie together many of the trails I've done in this area, as I've never done the MST.

    A little late, but I had some time to edit the video I shot of the hang. I'm looking forward to next year!

    It is my goal to be there for at least one night. Too far for Levi to hike in for, so I'll likely bring Zoe again. Not sure which night. It's my wife's birthday weekend.

    Sheltowee Gear bought the design. Alex has been working in insulated hammocks for a while. I'm not sure if he'll offer the original Whisper or not, but I know that it still has a following. Maybe he...

    Let me know if you need help. It's a fun math equation, even if it needs some tweaking.

    Here is my spreadsheet for the gear in the video. Something either in this list or the one I was originally...

    Sorry, Extra. I'm still working on responding to your PM. I'm happy to help. You'll get a response by the end of the day.

    Thank you.

    I'm glad you found in informative. Yes, Alex bought my hammock design last year to help fund the adoption of my little boy. Let me know if I can help with the math.

    Some of it has to do with the uniqueness of the pack, the rest is volume. I did four packs at once three years ago, and it dropped the average time to 20 hours per pack.

    I have four different tabs in my spreadsheet. The first is my primary gear tab, and due to the layout and calculations, it has 180 rows. The second is for food and acts as a catalogue of my current...

    Thank you for your kind words. I have to say, I'm a huge fan of my hammock set up, but I'm obviously biased. I sold the design for the Whisper to Alex at Sheltowee Gear and I'm looking forward to...

    The bridge was still out, but we avoided the detor, that was the single log balance beam in the video. There are for sure a ton of stairs on the FHT. I'm glad you have had the chance to thru-hike the...

    Fast setup has saved me from hypothermia on a few occasions. Yes, the hammock has built-in insulation.

    Thank you. There has been a lot of trial and error and a lot of research that informed this...

    I'm hoping to bring my son for his second overnight. I can't stay for Saturday, as I have a race that day, but I'm really hopeful this all works out.

    I really wish I could make it. My wife is going to be out of town and my son isn't old enough for this to be his first trip. Enjoy. I'll make it one day.

    I've taken my Whisper down to 22F. The lack of air gaping that can exist in traditional UQs helps with pushing the rating. I generally plan my trip with a 10F buffer knowing that weather can change...

    That's what I was going to say. I was on that trip. Hilarious. I miss HB. Has anyone reached out to him? I might.

    If I come, I'll have my chilli. I'm planning on coming at least for dinner if not for an overnight. No guarantees on bringing Levi "Little Bear" Puskas.

    It is on my calendar. I don't know if I can get an overnight in, but I'm planning on hiking in for dinner. I'll keep you all informed.

    Amazing job! I'd love a detailed how to. I use the nesting poles from Ruta Locura for my insulated bridge and like them, but the weight for your second pair is mind blowing. I use a 36" head bar and...
