I put a bottle of water, my beanie, and light in my RL organizer. I use the tag end of my adjustable SRL to tie my pistol holster to it. Other than that, not much else is needed. God Bless

The stuff sack he provides with the hammock can be used with or without snake skins. Personally, I do it without. I simply loosen the head end and pull the endless loops until the hammock starts...
Not for me. But, I buy fabrics that are way over rated for my weight too. God Bless
You'll love the hammock. You'll also love the Dutch bling when you do get your tarp. I use to be a knot guy until trying bling. I looked at my paypal yesterday. For almost 8 weeks in a row, I've...
I guess my practice while using a SRL is wrong. ��
A SRL ensures the sag is the same regardless of the suspension angle. And, it will carry the load when your angle is less than the desired pitch,...
I went to bed last fall in hunting season to dry weather. It started raining sometime afterward. When I awoke sometime in the wee hours to relieve myself, I stepped out of hammock onto what I...
You ain't going to beat Dutch. God Bless
You must be taller. God Bless
I just strip off to my undies or shorts and climb right in. If there is no breeze, I hang my tarp low to ensure if one does come up, it won't freeze me out, and enjoy the sleep. God Bless
I'm going to say this with no intent of being a wise guy. Just getting to the point. You have fought this since the beginning. Just because a fabric is rated for 250 pounds doesn't mean it is...
The best way to deal with where to store the coffee is not drink coffee. ;) God bless
You don't need whoopie hooks if you just use the whoopie slings through the end channels by larks heading them after passing the loop through the channels. However, if you get the continuous loops...
I'd go with Hexagon D. I love the way it feels. I'd also go with the 1.6. I personally went with the 2.4 because I like zero stretch. But, it was over kill. 1.6 would have worked great as I'm...
You got it. Just know that you still have not achieved total "Bliss" sleeping yet. You won't until you stay warm. Then, it's lights out like never before.
Seriously, I hear of stories where...
I use a KAQ from arrowhead. It's the Jarbridge. 3 season model. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I say how much I LOVE it?
I own a lot of down clothing and...
SLD and Dutch both go out of their way to make you a GREAT piece of gear. I order from those two almost exclusively. I don't have a SLD hammock but, if I didn't have a 11 footer from Dutch, I...
I always tighten the knotty mod on the side of the hammock my head is on to draw up the loose fabric.
BTW, you did a great job. I really liked the integrated center knot for the ridge line. God...
11 footer for sure with your height. As far as width, I have found I don't like the double wide's as much as I once did. It's just more fabric that flops around. It is also harder to get into and...
The apprehension is caused by being unfamiliar with your gear. I'm going to give you a few tips that worked for me in getting it just right when I first started.
First, take the time to set that...
He makes a good'er one. God Bless
This recent purchase is my 13th hammock of various brands and DIY projects. So, I should clarify that statement a bit. It's the last one I intend to buy to use while hunting. ;) God Bless
I agree. I hung this afternoon and got the sag right. I LOVE it. I really do. It is the most comfortable fabric I have laid on. So soft. ZERO stretch. Just awesome. Best money I've ever...
Shug can sing!!!!!!!!
Make your gear rocks too.
God bless
Quite fighting it and, spring for one of them. You won't regret it God Bless
I received the hammock today. Unbelievable turnaround time really. I left this morning before 7 am and, didn't get home this evening until after 7 pm. I had to get my gear ready for fishing...
If the hammock is comfortable, fear will loose out to sleep. God Bless
Congrats. I'm anxiously awaiting mine. God Bless
I've got a camo ACU pattern tarp I made myself. I like it enough. I hung a green, brown trimmed hammock under it, with a green outside shell, black inside shell under quilt, with a green top quilt....
The bear was a nice sized boar. He was looking for a female friend. This is their mating season. He meant no harm and offered no none as evidence. God Bless

I just ordered an 11 ft, netless with the knotty mod, in Hexagon D. I'm pumped. Can't wait for it to get here. I have got a 5 day fishing/camping trip planned to Front Royal on the week of July...
Longer hammock most definitely. Width is ok but, wider won't hurt either. More sag A couple inches of adjustment WILL be the difference in miserable and Awesome. Foot end 6 inches or so higher.
...
I'd get 50 foot of the Amsteel and make my ridge line and suspension out of that too if I wanted to make it.
Or go to simply light designs and buy them all out of Amsteel for the no waste effect....
I'd go with the winter tarp from simply light designs. Only tarp you would have to have. Fits all occasions depending on how you hang it.
Whatever you do on the hammocks, get one that doesn't...
For me, anything under 70 degrees with wind requires a bottom wind stop when hammocking. That bag will work without a pad in Summer GA temps as long as you get in it. Problem is, on hot, humid,...
I read the opening post. I continued reading and, started wandering why people kept trying to help you. Every time someone suggest something for you to try, you blast back at them. Look, you are...
Before I'd do the cinder block, I'd try 2, 10' treated 6 by 6's, put 2.5-3' in the ground and concreted in. Should work good In theory. :D Total cost for this is going to be about $75 and, an hour...
Nice bag. It's good and light.
If I may, I'm going to give you some advice. Not telling you what you'll like. Just telling you what most like that have tried it. Better than a bag and a pad.

Bravo. VERY well said. Exactly what I was trying to convey. But, in a much more clear and concise way. God Bless
People will have their own ideas about the right way and the wrong way. Here's my thoughts.
Mi use a structural ridge line to obtain the proper sag. I like it a touch more droopy than the standard...
I used my Eno bug net for the first time this past weekend. It worked great. I was wandering though, have any of you that uses these saw any restrictions on being able to lay diagonally. I needed...
You did real well.
That was a great video. It really expresses how much length dictates comfort in a hammock. And, it shows how the knee ridge hits just perfect, to support your knees, instead of stress them, with...
Nice quilt. I love Argon. God Bless
You got it. Looking good and cozy now. That hammock sag is just the way I like it. Always get that foot end up slightly higher than the head to keep your head up where it belongs. It allows you...
I'm easy to please. I'm not mentioning the obvious things like toilet paper, knife, a saw of some sort, cook stove, etc... But, the one extra for me that I truly enjoy is a ridge line organizer and...
Well, you have the only options available in your weight range figured in already. There isn't much to say other than good luck and God Bless
I've found the single most important thing about being comfy cozy in a hammock is length. Besides the obvious variables like proper material for weight ratio, angle of hang, etc... If the hammock is...
Yep. $52 and change on Amazon right now. God Bless
