Looks like it's the Regular. The tag says:

Finished Size: 31" x 78"
Fill Weight: 32 oz.

Oh boy, I'm not sure. It's been sitting unused with the rest of my gear so long, I don't remember. I'm 5'7", so I probably got the regular, but I'll take a closer look at it when I get home and see...

Ok, thanks. Good to know.

Uhh...I'm thinking 11', but it's been so long that I'm not sure. I got it in 2013; does that help? If not, I can go measure it. Is it the literal end-to-end measurement?

I got into hammocks when I got involved in search & rescue, but they just haven't been useful in my situation, and I hate for them to just lay around taking up space, so...here's round 1. If you're...

Sure, I get that he'll fall out from time to time, but if the physical capabilities of a 2 yr old are such that a hammock will be frustratingly and chronically injurious, that's a different matter....

I think my 2yr old son would enjoy a small, low-strung hammock to play around in (not sleep in...yet?), but how old do you guys think a kid needs to be before they can safely negotiate one? He climbs...

So the entire set is spoken for, correct?

I'm 5'7" and yeah, being tall does have some advantages, but if I had to choose one extreme over the other, I'd choose short, if only because of airline seats. :)

Can you please give me more information? I see plastic inflatable pillows, but no paper.

If you want the grip of a standard Prusik without the difficulty unlocking, you might consider the Bachmann, Klemheist, any asymmetrical Prusik (i.e. Distal or Schwabisch hitch), or even the...

It depends on who you talk to. I'm in search & rescue, and the Taut Line I was taught does NOT include the awning hitch, but the Midshipmen's version does. I prefer the Midshipmen's.

Do you predict any permanent gasket deformation because of this?

Very cool! I noticed the unused pole on the right side. Is that for a second hammock stand on the opposite side of the car?

I have participated in a few Kickstarter projects over the years, and yeah, they delivered, but...meh...I just don't like the model. Paying for a product that far in advance just seems awfully risky....

What kind of tarp do you want? I have a barely used Warbonnet Superfly I'm looking to part with. It's in a snakeskin rigged with a Dyneema continuous ridgeline and some Dutch hardware. I can get you...

I have a green Ribz pack gathering dust. I got it for search & rescue work, but the thing ended up being TOO big for what I needed. I'm pretty sure it's a Large, but it's been several years and I...

Well this just isn't working out. First, my dad had to change his schedule, and then just yesterday my work deadline was moved up by three weeks, so I no longer have the luxury of taking the day off,...

We switched it to Monday night (9/22), and we'll roll in around 4:30pm. In the off chance that anyone else wants to go, let me know and we'll work out which site.

Ok, so nevermind...my dad's schedule changed, and if we still go, it will have to be during the week. Sorry about that Hobopelican.

Not the greatest shot, but I thought I'd post a shot of the stand in use. As in...I'm laying in it right now. It performed exactly as I'd hoped. Now I suppose I should get up and get moving...
...

If I were starting over, I would try making each piece 3', so they were interchangeable and could be more easily packed away. However, this would require each piece to have one swedged end, and since...

Here are the shots of the tarp strung directly over the ridge. It works out really well. I can't stand up, but it's high enough where I can move around much easier. I thought the...

My father is coming in from Georgia, and I thought I'd take him up to Mohican for a hang. The thing is this will have to be a Sunday night hang, because he has other things he needs to do Friday and...

Sorry about the dead link. The part I bought is a 3 Way Low Peak Corner Slope Fitting. Google it and you'll find lots of places that sell it. I got mine 1-3/8" diameter, but they come anywhere from...

Well the inner tube works well. It fits tightly, but wasn't difficult to get on, and you just roll/fold it back and forth to expose or cover the joint.

Uhh...well...hmm...that's a good question. I guess I figured the line would keep the ridge taut, but maybe that's not an issue once you have the corners staked out. If I run the tarp directly on the...

Another thing the 1' extensions give me is the ability to hang closer to, or maybe even at (I didn't measure), 30 degrees, and there's still room for an underquilt.

I also ordered a 5' long...

I added the 1' extensions tonight, and it made a world of difference. The next thing I want to do is figure out how to rig the tarp above the ridge pole, rather than below it. I might use some small...

Ok, so given:
Leg length = 5' 3"
Leg angle = 39 degrees off vertical

I calculate the following:
Total span of legs = 6' 7"
Total height of stand = 4' 1"

I'm contemplating adding 1' to each...

This is the fitting I bought: http://www.canopymart.com/1-3-8-dia-...e-fitting.html

I'll set it up again tomorrow and get the measurements, plus some pictures with the tarp deployed.

I got my fittings today, and here's the result:

I used 1-3/8" 18 guage chain link fence top rail....

Give me ~10 days (shipping + build time) and I'll let you know how it works out.

Ahh, I see, and actually I was wrong. Tarps.com DOES have the sloped corner that I'm looking for. Oh well...already ordered mine.

Tarps.com doesn't list the "low slope corner" that allows an acute angle for the legs. I just ordered some from Canopy Mart, so I'll update after I see how well it works with 1 3/8" top rail.

Yeah, I found the custom fabricated stand, but that's out of the question. Yours looks interesting. I'll take a closer look at it.

Regarding the second one (swingset style, single person), what...

I had a thought yesterday, and I would appreciate some rough feedback before moving forward with it. I apologize if this has already been discussed; I didn't find anything when I searched.

I want...

I hiked AW Marion park this weekend (around the lake), and walked through the campground. There are some sites that would work, but they had recently cut down a lot of trees (why?!), so this park...

Has anyone hung here? I was looking at their site, and it looks fairly hammock friendly. I found a brief account, on another forum, of someone hanging here, but there was no review.
...

My father is coming in from Georgia for Thanksgiving, and we talked about going hanging while he's here. Anyone thinking of hitting a Mohican Park and Pack site that weekend?

Ahh! Thanks for the correction. Those sites look nice.

I assumed you were referring to the 10 walk-in camp sites on this map (lower right): http://www.mohicanstatepark.org/images/Mohican.jpg. However, I'm hearing stuff about site 2 being next to a creek,...

I have the 1.1 single, and my wife has the 1.7 double (gotta keep her warm). The 1.1 material feels a little nicer to the touch, I think, but that's about the only difference I've found. If I had to...

Hmm, well I also ordered the BB Double 1.7, but not in camo.

I ordered on May 14th and I just got my shipping notice, so take heart if you ordered just after me.

I'd get excited, but I already have my Blackbird; this one's for my wife.

I'm only 5'7" and the Regular fits fine. I'm glad I got it over a Small.

Huh...interesting point. Thanks.

I finally got some pictures uploaded. Like most people, I used chain-link fence rail, 2x2 boards, and hinges. I wanted to combine leg support with storage capability, but couldn't come up with a good...

I ordered one on May 14th, and haven't heard anything, so I don't think it's because you fell through the cracks. When I ordered my first Warbonnet, it was March, and the turnaround time was...
