thanks, that is really helpful!

Is there a good picture of a square pitch? Spatial relationships are not my strong point, so seeing it would really help. Thanks again. You all are so helpful on this forum.

Thanks all! I have the 12 and this weekend will be my first time using a tarp at all. Sadly I won't be able to test hang it first, so I appreciate the pictures.

It looks like the middle of the...

Do you pitch it based on the instructions that come with it or do you do something special?

If you are, hit me up, we can share a beverage.

Kayt! I used your video as the tutorial for my underquilt. I will take a look at the sbiners again and try that! Thanks!

thanks Bubba, that is my very sweet husband and my very not sweet dog. Are both the person and the dog in your avatar sweet?

I don't think I have guylines

the wrapping around the hammock was definitely keeping me from getting a more diagonal lay but it was the only way I could get it snugged up. I started by trying to attach the underquilt to the...

Oh perfect idea. I do have a structural ridgeline that I can use, I just hadn't put it up for that pic since I wasn't sleeping but was just lounging.

So I tested out the underquilt I made last weekend. Definitely long enough. Could stand to be a bit wider but it will do. The issue I had was suspending/attaching it. The shockcord just seemed to...

I don't know if you'll see this in time or if you went last weekend but Big Basin says no hammocks on its website.

Tomorrow I am making 2 underquilts by modifying a sleeping bag using the instructions from Creative Kayt http://www.youtube.com/user/creativeKayt#p/search/0/OWP7dmvTszk

The sleeping bag I have...

oh I am looking at it solely for the warmth, not the comfort. I will happily try the fleece blanket too (as we already have a bunch) thanks for the idea.

ha! I added my bit about why I'd rather...

We hammock camp in the very moderate bay area. We're not hardcore hiker ultimate lightweight campers. We're more laze around and drink campers.

I use an Eno Doublenest with the Eno Guardian...

I am pretty sure that is a Singer 15 Clone. http://www.grandmotherssewingmachine.com/victor_15_clone.html

Can I get a pic of the other side too?

Hi all,

I checked out the hammock friendly spreadsheet and added one (Schoolhouse Canyon). We're planning our spring through fall trips now and we are looking for known hammock allowed sites...

Hi there and welcome. My husband and I are newbies from SF and doing our first (test) camping hang this weekend in Guerneville.

no we used a queen sized down comforter. my husband doesn't like the confining nature of a sleeping bag

Thanks for your thoughts. Still not sure if I will get it but glad to hear that at least on initial glance it might work. Re the exped mats. They were part of our tent camping upgrades this year. If...

next weekend my husband and I are trying hammock camping for the first time. We've picked a car camping place and cleared it with them. Eno Doublenest, guardian bugnet and tarp setup, exped mats. So...

Yep. It is in this PDF. Page 1 under plants and flowers. I hung my eno in Calaveras Big Trees this weekend and no one said a word.

Well I have convinced my husband to give hammock camping a try. :D

I have an eno doublenest and we'll do mosquito netting and a tarp. Planning to use our exped mat inside, at least the first time,...
