I borrowed my fiance's guardian bug net for my BIAS camper back in september and used it for the weekend. It worked great for me. I have a good bit of sag in my hammock, but like 2ply said, you can...
Sounds like a great trip. I bet it was the bear that came back...it probably circled you in the woods trying to get a scent check without having to come out into the open. I have deer do that to me...
Congrats on the SBP. It was my second hammock and I really enjoyed it. I recommend getting an adjustable ridgeline and running it through the netting to hold it up. This prevents the possibility of...
I have never gone from 31 to 84, but I really want to soon. Our club is located in that section, so I'd love to check it all out. I've never heard of the Robinson's...my family is Griggers. Our...
Finally was able to do a float trip down one of my favorite rivers in south Alabama. The Sepulga is a small river that is perfect for kayaks and canoes. I planned the trip with 3 of my cousins and...
Ok, thanks guys. I'll be sure to check all of those things. I knew it would probably be something simple.
Sorry about that...forgive my wording because I don't know sewing terminology, but the stitch doesn't seem to go through. There is a stitch on the top, but not the bottom. I can just pull the thread...
New DIYer here...
I am attempting a Fronkey bugnet and am having issues sewing the noseeum together.
My girlfriend is doing the sewing (new to sewing) and is having trouble. We tried putting...
Glad to see a report from a fellow hunting hanger! Looks like a great trip. I'm ready for deer season to come in here!
Hammock is sold
Just received my BIAS camper with whoopies and an ARL in the mail today! Even though we are still having some tropical storm winds, I had to try it out and it is GREAT!
The customer service was...
I bought 7 yds of noseeum for roughly $28 with shipping, but I already had shock chord, thread, and a chord lock.
Also, like SwinginIt said, you could get tulle which is super cheap. You can find...
You can order the materials from diygearsupply.com. I just ordered some noseeum material for a fronkey bugnet myself!
The hammock is sold pending funds. I will post when sale is final.
Bump. Willing to accept reasonable offers. Shoot me a PM.
Here are some pics where you can see the modification and suspension.
I have a Skeeter Beeter Pro that I purchased in December that I am looking to sell. The hammock has only been used 3 times for camping and includes whoopies, straps, toggles, and an adjustable ridge...
How big of a tarp do you have? I am considering making a python skin for my Kelty Noah 12x12 and want to make sure it would fit with these dimensions...
Wow! That gives me chills just thinking about it! I can guarantee you I would've been looking over my shoulder the rest of the trip. Thanks for the report, sounds like an awesome experience!
I used Thermocell in South Alabama a couple weeks ago and have become a HUGE believer. I think I had one mosquito bite for the 4 day trip.
I will say that I did spray down during the day and...
I leave mine on and use rubberbands because when I tied mine they would still seem to get tangled somehow. So far, no problems with the rubberbands.
I have a Kelty Noah 12x12 and it covers my SBP perfectly without having to go diagonal (two trips so far in the rain and been dry both times).
My SBP is very comfortable with a diagonal lay. I...
Thanks Buffalo Skipper! I guess I just thought it was too tight. I'm going to set it up and try it like it is. Thanks for the pics, they help alot!
It's attached where the whoopies are going through the channel on the hammock and the shock chord is all the way loosened. It would reach doing it without parachord, but I had very little room for...
I just got the Jarbridge (my first UQ) last week and took it on a 4 day camping trip. So far, I love it. Seems to be well made and packs down pretty well.
The only thing I had problems with was...
Just got mine in today, just in time for my trip Wednesday! Looks great and can't wait to try it out.
Same thing happened to me before. Took me almost an hour to get it out, but I did.
I put small paperclips on mine and haven't had a problem since.
Same here! I am leaving Wednesday and hoping it makes it here in time. If not, I guess I'll experience my final camping trip with a CCF pad for insulation!
My go-to artificial bait for bream are beetlespins or roostertails. You could take worms in a small container if you wanted, there might be a problem with them getting a little too hot though.
I'm...
I had some friends show me how to do this about a year ago and never thought to post it on here! It really is fairly easy once you do it a few times. This is how the top person enters their hammock...
While DIY is appealing, I don't have the time or the sewing machine for it. Just ordered the Jarbridge from Arrowhead equipment and went ahead and picked up a ARL while i was at it!
Wow! That's a great price. I wasn't necessarily looking for a 3/4 length quilt, but for that price I might go for it.
I guess I'll sleep on it and see if anyone has any offers by morning.
...
I'm looking to upgrade from the pad to an underquilt in my setup and being the poor college student that I am, I'm looking to get the most bang for my buck :thumbup:
Ideally, I would like a full...
I use cabelas all of the time for hunting gear and actually ordered my first hammock (grand trunk) there.
The store has outstanding customer service and a "bargain cave" with new deals every...
I have a Noah kelly 12 too and love it! I decided to leave mine on and wrap each individually with a rubberband to keep them neat. It seems to have worked well so far.
Went hunting/camping Thursday through Sunday to try out my new setup. Our hunting club is in Conecuh County Alabama bordering the Sepulga River.
My setup includes:
GT Skeeter Beater Pro
Whoopies...
Looks like a great trip. That part of the Pinhoti is beautiful.
I'm hoping to get up there for a trip in the future.
I'm in!

I just recently did a canoe trip on the bartram trails in the Mobile Delta.
http://www.dcnr.state.al.us/outdoor-adventures/bartram/
This was an awesome trip! Beautiful water and being that we...
That's exactly what I was wondering. I wouldn't plan on flipping it over too often, just wanted to have the option to. I have a dynaglide adjustable ridgeline and whoopies, so I can basically do what...
Thanks for the help! I will definitely search for that thread.
I'm thinking a mini caribiner to make it easily detachable....maybe that will work!
Well my first hang was a 3 day 2 night canoe trip on the Bartram Trails in the Mobile Delta back in early November. We stayed both nights on the floating platforms that can be reserved through the...
Now that you've made the mod to run the SRL through the netting, are you still able to flip the hammock over and put the netting under you?
I am looking into a SBP and this looks like a great...
Welcome to the forum from another new guy. I am in a similar situation to you being from NW Florida and just starting out.
I will be following this thread as I too am looking into a Skeeter Beater...
That would be sweet! I'm in!
I'm in! Thanks!
Thanks for the replies everyone.
I plan to do a canoe/kayaking trip next spring/summer and will hopefully do a couple spring/fall hikes, but mainly I will be using it at my camp during hunting...
New guy here. I've been a long time looker and really haven't had the need to post because of the wealth of information I can get just doing a search!
As of right now, my go-to (and only) hammock...
