No offense received. Just investigating options. I am a pretty flexible and adaptable guy and can make it work or live with less than perfect solutions.

Thanks, Levi.
My only concern with Brandon's method is the risk of having the bugnet's lines outside the tarp and increasing the potential for water being directed toward the hammock. I understand...
What do you mean?
Thanks for the suggestions. Will give it a try.
How does one suspend the Ridgerunner's bug net under a non-Cloudburst tarp? I plan to try a UGQ Winter Dream 12 tarp with my WBRR but a trying to figure out the best way to rig the bug net. I could...
Believe it or not , the reason why we have to get up and go is complicated. I believe there are several physiological reasons for the increased urge/need to urinate while in your hammock. First, is...
Just left BBB my 5 star review. Still don't see any other comments other than the one negative, D+. What's up with that?
162373 Recent Louisiana Hammock Hang
Great to see you too, Clark. I tried out my new Hammock yesterday and must say that it was very comfortable and made with impeccable workmanship. Gotta get some of your tree straps and try your...

Another GREAT Louisiana hang! Great food, fellowship, music, vendors and raffle prizes. Weather good...Well, until Sun AM. :-)
Easier with a Negatrans...:shades:
I go to "insert image" button on the "Post Quick Reply" and point it to the folder on my computer containing the image that I want to post. Make sure that it is JPEG, not Raw, PSD, Tiff, etc. Some...
Wow, you are indeed a RF fan! I believe my dad's Nikon was an "S" model, which my sister still has. Guess we better not continue this discussion in this thread or we might upset Admin. and others.
Fuji mirrorless, X100s in Avatar (reminiscent of Leica design) The hammock photo was taken with Samsung S5 Galaxy phone. I love using the Rangefinder format because it allows me to see the subject...
152608 Reading by stream in Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park.
Interesting thread. I am heading to Estes Park next week, and hope to do a bit of hanging and fishing if I can. Will not be able to do any overnight hangs, but would like to perhaps hang a bit, take...
My only experience is with the Chameleon /Hexon 1.6, which is well designed, meticulously constructed and very comfortable. Dutch's communication and customer service is among the best. So, my...
Some more cell phone pics of Dutch bling. Dutch clips work great with Dyneema straps.
Gotta say, as a bridge hammock user, the Chameleon is surprisingly comfortable, even with side lying/ right or...
Thanks! It is easy to take cool pictures of a cool product. I think the Chameleon logo would look good with a dark (eg: Black) background rather than white. Trying not to be critical and picky but...

A few Details of my Coyote Chameleon.
#657 , Just received shipping notification....Woohoot and Woobuddy. Can't wait to enjoy the Chameleon goodness.
Ouch...count me envious. I can't imaging how nice it must be, lying in a Chameleon in Maui.
I believe that there are several factors contributing to the increased "Hammock Diuresis", but my suspicion is that it is mostly from the capacitance vessels in the lower extremity, which hold 60+...
So sorry I couldn't make it this year as I had some unplanned work responsibilities and a wedding to attend in Lafayette ( I did get to enjoy a great shrimp poboy at Ole Tyme Grocery, however :-)...
A sleeping bag can work great as a top insulator, but gotta get some insulation underneath. An underquilt will change your life! I am not really familiar with the Big Agnes bag, but I've used both...
I LOVE my Single Layer/netted Ridgerunner! Very comfortable for both back and side sleeping. UGO Ambush underquilt is a perfect fit, and very well constructed. Cloudburst tarp works well, but the...
Another vote for the WB Ridgerunner, especially if you are a side sleeper. The saddlebag pockets are great for holding various items such as headlamp/flashlight, Cellphone, E Reader, glasses, gloves,...
Woohoot, sounds like fun! I'll do my best to make it and this year I'll bring my own tarp so I don't have to borrow one from SpaceWeaseal. :-)
MoonBear,
Ditto on the Awesome! Thank you for this fun giveaway, and the opportunity to give a shout-out to some of the "Awesome" vendors.
PM Sent.
MoonBear - I gotta agree...this is a great forum with a plethora of wonderful, kind and helpful people and cottage vendors. Dutch's bling is so well designed; practical, functional and stylish...in...
If it can fail it will fail...well, maybe. Never place yourself in a situation where catastrophic failure would be deadly or apt to cause significant injury, unless the risk of danger is the...
I am struggling with the dilemma between leaving my gear set up so that it is ready to use at a moments notice, albeit at reduced longevity but greater overall enjoyment vs waiting until I can find...
I have feared the UV damage, but my yard is pretty dense with tree cover and I had a blue vinyl tarp suspended over the most exposed area (though not completely covering the tarp). It has been so...
Spring has sprung in North Louisiana. The yellow pine pollen is beginning to cover everything and I reluctantly had to bring my tarp and hammock inside after having it up in the back yard for weeks....
Great minds think alike :-). I have had similar experiences and thoughts about redesign of my mummy bag.
I wish you could buy camo scaled for the size of the object being used. I think US4CES would be wonderful for Hammocks, Underquilts and Tarps...If we could get our hands on some. :-)
I too love the Flecktarn, but haven't seen it offered. Where do you find it?
It depends on what sort of environment in which you want to blend. I find that for our southern woodlands, the olive brown color of my WB Cloudburst Tarp is a nice compromise.
I would imagine a...
Wow, I am surprised at the number of responses to my musing. If the weather is really cold, I also wear a balaclava and polartec cap, but find that I still snuggle up under the hood of my bag. I have...
Does anyone else sleep with their bag or quilt pulled up over their head/face? I find that I sleep more soundly with my bag over my face. I can breathe fine most of the time, and have had no problem...
Thanks for the comments. I can take no credit for the beauty of the Ambush UQ, that goes to Paul & Missy. Besides being nice looking, the UQ works wonderfully well. Used it last night in 25ish Deg...
I'm in north Louisiana and have used both down and synthetics. I prefer down. Slept comfortably in my hammock last night with 15 deg down sleeping bag ( used as quilt) and 20 deg UGQ Ambush under...
I'm not sure, but I suspect that the center stitching in each "chamber" is for baffling material. You'll have to ask Paul at UGQ, to get the real answer.
Thanks.
I was playing around yesterday afternoon, before the weather got too bad, trying some ideas to see if I could display the Under Quilt as it would appear in use...but without the hammock in...
Another view of Ambush Under Quilt...sans hammock.

Thanks, y'all.
Ironfish45 - You can get this quilt done in all sorts of colors, I almost went with Mocha instead of Camo, but thought I'd give their camo a try. Though I like colors, I like to have...
Yes, I got it overstuffed.It is a Full Length, 850 GGD, Overstuffed. I am not sure how much difference the over-stuff makes, and wonder if I should have just gone wth the O degree quilt instead. I...
:-)
My son's cat likes to hang around when I'm in the hammock (I can tell when she is coming around because the squirrels and birds start fussing ).
Thanks Gerry! Can't wait to show it to you.
Thanks for the comments about the images (taken with Fujifilm X100s, see Avatar). The nighttime temps are in the low 40s/upper 30s and the quilt was very comfortable.
I got the camo to try and be a...
