Sold pending payment.

Hello,

Selling my 3 season crowsnest. It has only seen three nights out. Selling for $170 shipped.

Thanks.

Item is sold. Thanks!

Edit: I tried to edit my first post to update it with [SOLD], but I can't seem to edit the title. Any help? or do mods do those sorta things round here?

Hello,

Selling my Warbonnet Blackbird 1.7 Double layer for $160 shipped. It has seen 3 nights out and in excellent (like new) condition. I no longer have the original buckles that came with the...

Out of curiosity, why the cat cuts? I thought they were more for fabric that stretched under load.

The only real consideration is the weight of a hammock+tarp verse a tent. All the other variables stay relatively the same considering your UQ will be relatively similar in weight to your pad, and...

nvm nvm nvm

I ran across the thread the other day.

Although I have no cuben gear, the nerd in me loves reading these types of threads. The good part is there seems to be a good bit of industry experience in...

I have not read the entire thread. Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but this thread may be of interest to the cuben folk.

I am looking for a down quilt.

Hello,

I'm a side sleeper and a flailer. A 3/4 UQ just isn't working out for me. I have a 3/4 3 Season Crowsnest, and looking to put my feelers out for a full length 3 season UQ.

Thanks for...

Yeah, snow on the hike would be a bonus. Snow capped peaks in the background would make me entirely too giddy.

I think the altitude comments are right on. Strangely, this is something I had...

Yeah, I think ~20 miles is just about right. This will give us time to lounge and soak it up a bit! I guess the mileage is up in the air really, but we just wanted to have enough time to get back...

Ah, maybe that's the snag. My guess on mileage could be:

Day 1: 3-5 Miles after travel etc.
Day 2: 10 miles with some photo ops
Day 3: 10 miles with some photo ops
Day 4: 3-5 miles, and...

Hmm, maybe I'm misrepresenting (since, of course, I've never been there!). We are looking for something more along these lines:

Interesting about the Bear canister. I will have to do some more bear research as this will be our first time in bear country. I'm not sure we will be scared, but more-or-less cautious since we are...

The mileage can be decent. Keep in mind, we will ideally have all day Friday/Saturday to hike (~10-15 miles, probably less since we will be taking in the scenery). The 3-5 mile range would be on...

Thanks for the suggestion Jeff. Looking through the previous thread's pictures it is indeed a beautiful area. However, it seems as if it is more "rolling" hills. We will be coming from Indiana,...

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some direction in regards to a backpacking trip in Colorado (mid-August). The possibilities are endless, I know, but that makes it all the more difficult to plan a...

Hello,

I'm looking to sell an Exped Downmat Deluxe 9 for those poundhogs and/or comforthogs out there. This mat has only seen 3 nights (all in a tent) of use. This comes with inflated pouch for...

Out of curiosity, I see that the raffle is going down Friday night. Are most people showing up Friday? I thought a majority were rolling in on Saturday. Just curious.

My brother (phrakture) and I will be there. We cannot carpool as we have mini-stops going to and from the hang.

Hey guys,

Can plastic d rings be found anywhere locally or do I need to order them online?

Sorry to bypass the new product, but that is a great looking dog.

I believe it was posted there to begin with, but either way my request was answered via PM.

Gently used 3 season top quilt.

Just putting the "feelers" out there.

Thanks.

Overthinking? You have no idea. That's what most people call it anyway. I just love details, and the process of learning new information.

Anyway, i'd been able to stay away from the NeoAir...

That's understood. However those are elements that are similar to both systems. I feel the TQ/UQ system has a lot more flexibility to mix and match to meet your temperature needs. While a...

Oh, I hear you on that.

I guess, for me, hanging would be a weekend style outing. Above tree line would probably just be reserved for 1, 2, or 3 (more?) longer trips throughout the year.

Now...

Hey guys,

I just recently stepped in the hammock world. I've actually never even hung outside, just in my basement. However, I enjoy it a lot and can't wait to get out (should be in a few...

Hey guys just a few questions about making my own tarp.

Disclaimer: I have zero sewing experience and have never actually seen a hammock tarp. However, I am as stubborn as a mule and believe I...

For those of you who use reinforcement patches, is the reinforcement material included in the rolled hem/binding, or does the rolled hem/binding simply come right up to the reinforcement material?
...

What time did you have in mind for starting on Friday? I am probably (waiting on the final word) coming down Friday (2 hours away + 1 hour time change), but will have to make a 2'ish hour stop in...

Sorry for the noob question, but what exactly do you mean by binding the edges and how exactly is this different then the standard stock tarp you see?

What exactly do you guys use for tie out reinforcements? I have seen some tarps that simply used another layer of (the same) sil, but I have also seen some with gridstop type fabric for...

FWIW, I would prefer a backpacking trip.

Ah, should'a paid attention. Thanks.

Bah, didn't mean it like that. Not sure if you took that incorrectly or not.

Just to clarify, it'd be easier to ask Brian or Brandon how exactly to (or they) do something. However, if they...

Ah, this will shrink the GG ala shrink wrap? Cool. Thanks for the info.

Hmm, is the angle of a cat cut not aggressive enough to cause bunching? Interesting. I'll just have to give it a shot. ...

As a "new guy", I just wanted to comment on the DIY/profit angle:

It reminds me of some tech forums that I frequent. The most common phrase written to "newbs" is RTFM. It's simply because the...

Just a quick question:

I have never made any DIY items, but I was interested in making my own tarp. If you finish the edges with grossgrain, how exactly do you make the material (GG) lay flat on...

Ha! I'll be heading out of Lowell. Work and my brothers schedule will probably dictate when I am going down though (Saturday morning, or Friday).

Sorry, forgot to mention I have a WBBB as my only hammock at the moment. I'm fairly certain, from what I have read, most UQ's will fit the WBBB with a little fuss for the footbox.

My main seasons...

Hey guys,

It's a little overwhelming looking at all of the different gear options. Since I essentially have zero experience with any of them it's difficult to decide what will meet my needs.
...

1L, 1M. Thanks.

Ha! I fully intend on giving it sometime. Keep in mind this post wasn't a complaint. It was simply just a stream of consciousness during my first attempt. I've already packed and rehung several...

Nah, no need for a switch out. I intend on switching to whoopie slings eventually once I become familiar with my setup. Thanks for the response.

Hey guys,

I recently jumped aboard and ordered a WBBB 1.7 Double Layer. I got it in the mail today and ran down into my basement to try it out. This is my first ever backpacking hammock...

Just to throw in a follow up, my brother and I will be attending (regardless of the date).

I just sent in my order for my first hammock and my brother may be looking to convert. Most...

It seems like you could easily mod this into a decent pack cover.
