I would say that your chances of getting robbed are pretty small. If you are that worried about it get some travel insurance that will cover the theft of your gear. If you feel that you are camping...

I placed my clothes under my feet and legs with my 3/4 UQ, if I still got cold I would curl into the fetal position and bring everything in range of the UQ. Hot water bottles or a warm rock wrapped...

Hot water bottle, or a hot rock wrapped in clothing or a towel have both worked well for me. Going to bed warm and hydrated with something in the ole stomach to generate more heat help as well. I...

Just keep adjusting your angles and slack, an underquilt is definitely going to help maintain comfort, but the right length and angle make a huge difference. If you can't toss and turn you are...

I just roll over and pee out the side of my hammock. A little awkward to pee that way at first and make sure your UQ is out of the way and place your gear closer to your feet or head.

For hiking the Colorado Trail I just used a biner to clip the leash to my whoopie sling. I had a pad for my pouch, but most nights he seemed very content to dig a hole on the leeward side of the...

Loose hang from the tree until my fat *** tightens things up! Also a ridgeline will help you get that angle immediately every time after you get it set up right.

Love my hammock gear quilts, I found the enos to be overpriced and after using a couple of different ENO products I will be using better cottage manufacturers for the remainder of my hammocking needs.

Yup, jealous!

Good luck! The only thing on the transferring is the ground doesn't move when you drop things on it. Happy camping!

No experience with the ghost pepper, but love my 0 degree burrow. Only complaint I had with that was it is too hot!

I am using the MSR Y stake (i think they might be the groundhogs) and paracord with a friction knot around my stakes. I also always try and tie off without them, trees or bushes to allow for more...

Delicious koolaid, that thing looks sweet!

I had a doublenest from ENO, they don't hold up to Dutch's quality, size, and comfort! I tried having 2 people in a hammock once and it was incredibly uncomfortable, so as long as the weight limit is...

Definitely nice to ground dwell every once in a while, reminds us why we like life in the trees like the **** dirty apes we are!

Very impressive lazy man hang! If only the roof were retractable!

WB BB That I carry with me just about everywhere (I am currently backpacking so that helps), it is my lounger as well as my sleeper!

Wow! I need to get so much more creative with my hanging!

Hardware is the way to go if you want to avoid knots completely. The Phantom Grappler is a great tie some knots once and never again set up. My personal setup I only tie one knot with the marlin...

Great thing to keep in mind! Getting run over in the middle of the woods doesn't sound like a lot of fun!

For my thru-hile of the CO Trail I carried a foam sleeping pad that I cut down to size. It is enough to cover my torso, I then use my clothing bag under my butt, my pack under my feet, and my UQ...

Welcome to the dark side! I love camping in my hammock in the rain, never a question as to if I am going to get wet or not! Enjoy rocking yourself to sleep!

Seems a bit overkill. I like the minimal coverage I get from hammocking vs. being enclosed in a tent hanging between two trees. You can get a good setup for significantly less than that.

Treat your gear well and it will last a long time. Just keep an eye out for wear and tear and replace as you go. My tree straps are the only thing that seems to be developing any wear and it is...

Wish I had seen this before I got rid of my hiking poles!

The hammock ridgeline doesn't hold much weight, titanium dutch hooks should definitely hold!

When I first hang my hammock I get it as tight as possible. Then I sit in my hammock and things stretch out a bit, I retighten until it is straight but not guitar string tight.

I'm not familiar with this hardware, but it looks like you have a loose end, you could try tying a safety knot on the end with the working end going over the top of the buckle to prevent it from...

Thanks! Always like having a new knot in my arsenal!

Nicely done man! Might have to do this next time I have a room!

I just use one set of tree straps, about 6 or 7 feet long. Then I attach my whoopie to a marlin spike hitch on the tree hugger. Length of the tree hugger doesn't matter much with that set up (aside...

I deploy mine if the bugs are bothering me. I prefer to set up as little as possible... no rain means no rain fly, no bugs means no bug net... and the two together means great view of the stars!

Hot water bottles FTW! If you forget something that can handle boiling water you can also heat up some rocks next to the fire and wrap them in extra clothing or a towel. Be extra careful if you go...

Did you use a pillow for your head/neck?

I am looking for good condition 40-50 degree under and overquilts

I have a Hammock Gear Burrow 0 and a Hammock Gear Phoenix 20 (with 2 extra ounces of overfill) that I could trade. Heading to...

I have a hammock gear phoenix 3/4 20 degrees with 2 extra ounces of overfill if that interests you at all

I have a hammock gear burrow 0 that I am looking to part with!

I have a hammock gear burrow 0 super toasty!

I used my WB BB for the past 2 months. The only difference between hanging that and my ENO DN was the directionality of it. The only thing that changed was now I pick which angle gives me the best...

I have been using the MSR aluminum "Y" stakes. Those things hold well and can really really take a beating. Shepherds hooks and the like tend to bend when you really have to wail on them in tough...

A tarp is something you should bring unless you are in an area guaranteed to get little to no rain. Most of those places don't have trees... I carried my tarp for the entirety of the CO Trail this...

I have been using a MatCat Deluxe from Outdoor Equipment Suppliers. Doesn't have doors, but I can cinch down one end pretty tight if there is a lot of wind and it does a pretty decent job, although...

I have about 15-20' of paracord on each end of my tarp. Never had an issue of it being too short, but I have come close enough on some of my longer/big tree hangs that I don't think I would make...

Big blue tarps FTW if you want to keep close together. Just run a ridgeline and you should be able to get more than enough coverage! Those big tarps can go up a million different ways and provide...

Just double check that the slings haven't moved off the knot on to the toggle. After the first time my *** hit the ground from about 4' due to that slippage (unweighted hammock w/ a bit of wind) I...

I would recommend watching Shug's Youtube channel. Here is the link to hanging for NOOBS part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7NZVqpBUV0

Most importantly dry your stuff! The rest less of a big deal. I finished the CO Trail over about 2 months and am still traveling. Just as long as you take a little bit of care most of your hammock...

I usually just attach my pooch's leash to my excess whoopie sling line. He digs a hole on the leeward side of the tree usually, but I do have a sit pad that I use for my ground system backup that I...

Tarp in snake skins in a silnylon bag. If my tarp is wet i will put that in one of my compactor bags or I hang it on the outside of my bag. My underquilt in a compressions sack and...
