I love my 2 quilts from JRB. Great stuff. Thank you guys for producing great gear. I really appreciate it.
Great job...being a fine example.
Need...no, you don't need a ridgeline. You have a great plan for your SF tarp, go with it. Experiment with it once it arrives, to see which approach works the best for you. I started with a...
Thank goodness you were at home (not miles down on the trail) and didn't get hurt. The green bean held on to make sure you had a great night sleep all the way to the end. What a great hammock.
Some people sleep soundly regardless of the situation/surroundings. When I test my gear out in a backyard hang, I don't sleep as well as I do in the woods. Cars, AC, pets, airplanes...you name it,...
I can't touch items 1 and 2. I use tree straps and whoopies from http://www.dutchwaregear.com/. I am still in a single layer, so no idea about your double approach, but the pad should keep you...
Eno or grand trunk are good hammocks. I purchased 2 and gave them as gifts. I think it really does depend on what you think you will do with it. I knew when I purchased my first hammock, I wanted...
First, thank you for the videos. I'm just learning how to sew, and your video really helped me understand how to take material to a finished product. I have a dutch hammock. One of the issues I'm...
I may move to Austin over the summer. Any good recommendations on where I should go hang a hammock? Are there any trails worth a trip?
Burg54, I love your "Beer" icon. Its great.
Another option to consider....is selling your old set up at some point, and getting an "upgraded" set. That's how I justified, to myself, being able to buy hammock stuff. I sold off some of my tent...
Whoop. Congrats on joining, and brining the family along. I bought my 5 yr old nephew a GT hammock for Christmas. My brother hung it up for him in the house, and they can't get him out of it.
with both I have to fidget and adjust, but the comfort of downy goodness a full length brings...is just...oooh so nice. To backpack in the summer, the 3/4 is the bomb. You don't have to really...
I do not have a cuben tarp from them, but their gear is top notch.

I used this approach to build a fixed length ridgeline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs5kkzASq28
ok, I have a few Dutch hammocks...very little sewing skills, and I was debating going at one of them to try and build an UQP. THEN, I did some more research, and found this thread. Whooo Buddy. ...
looks fantastic. thank you for sharing.
I just couldn't pass. The pull to hit the order now button was almost as new Dutchware. Thank goodness they didn't hit at the same time. Is anyone else getting nervous? we all know its coming. ...
Just wait...next week, you'll realize there was something else you have to have...or he will release a new thing, that is so shiny...you just can't avoid it. ;-)
Be very careful with that hammock. When you hang it, make sure and stay close...otw, you may turn around and not be able to find it. ;-)
is that in bronco colors...? It looks great. Congrats.
muckypops...are you into computers? I just about died laughing at your original post. My brain works so close to yours...I can appreciate the loop.
No input on which hammock....I think you would be happy with either one. Another option that is coming up fast are the Hammecks. You may want to check out their options. My next hammock will be...
Welcome...welcome. I'm interested in hearing how hanging works out in AZ. if you are in 90+ deg, can you sleep outside in a hammock and still be comfortable? I realize most of the hanging will be...
thank you for sharing. looks like a very memorable trip. After a few more years of 3 season hanging, I plan on pushing my buddy to try out snow shoe camping. For now, its a backyard hang.
you know, anywhere else but here....you would be picked on for this tarp conversation, but here you are covered. ;-) Its always good to see there are others out there with my same affliction.
welcome, welcome. I grew up in Dickinson, TX...and a woman had me move to Albuquerque. Enjoy the Gila, and make sure to try out some local food...like NM green chilli. If you like spicy, it is...
I agree with everyone above...quilts are where you should start spending the big $$. That does assume you know that hammocking is for you. If you haven't tried a hammock, buy one...I do like those...
how did it work out for you? I just tried my brother in laws WBRR with an Ambush...and I found his quilt didn't extend to cover my feet. I'm wondering was the quilt too short or did he have it hung...
There's a few differences for sure. One is hammock length. At 6'2", most people would tell you that an 11' hammock is where you should go in a gathered end hammock (so xlc vs skeeter). If you go...
I backpack, so I wanted a small pillow to carry. I sleep on my side or back throughout the course of the night, and sleeping on my side basically requires the use of a pillow. I had some amazon...
I agree with the cotton input for sure. Especially if you sweat at night at all. Cotton traps that moisture, and doesn't let it escape. More than once, I have been cold wearing a t-shirt with a...
Whoop! Happy birthday Dutch.
Amsteel is cheap, and I get to make new loops, etc...feeling all DIY. Honestly, with all of these Hammock stuff its just incredible. I am amazed it can hold me and my gear up on that little line...
I have a few poncho's myself, so I can understand using those. Another option to consider...http://www.thepacka.com/
It doesn't double as a poncho/tarp, but if you are going into design...
one thing you may find...I don't know if there was some weight in the hammock when you took the pic, but you can tighten the ends too much. once I get in the hammock I do "fine tune" my cordlock and...
whoop and welcome. I just live down the road in Corrales. Test hangs are a great idea. I can't get the wife to participate, so I convinced my brother in law to join the hanging movement. A great...
I was excited when I saw your question...I thought it was about my current issue, I have a tendency to get too hot. With the right UQ and TQ (or sleeping bag), once you work out how to hang it...can...
very interesting, and very adjustable. I like it.
Hey there...I live in Corrales NM, and I started the whole hammock camping this year. San Pedro Parks is just about near perfect...its so close and has a lot to offer. Looks like you had a great...
Here's the question, what do you think about it? does it keep you warm and comfortable? when I'm trying to get my gear colder than I should expect...my set up looks very familiar. enjoy...
Granted you had the best set up currently out there. there's another way to think about it. As often as new Dutchware is released, you just came up with a good reason to buy the latest. If its out...
I need more of you guys to move to NM, so we can do a group hang. there's only a few of us at this point. I do have some cash, could order both, but I am married...so buying both isn't in the...
I'm 6'1" and <200 lbs. My current hammock is a Dutch Argon 11'. I'm looking to add a hammock to my gear (#2 this year), and I'm comparing the Envy 11' to the WBBB XLC. I'm considering the DL, with...
I agree completely. Dutch Speed Hooks and tree huggers. I just sent my brother a Dutch Hammock with this set up (4' huggers + 12' Amsteel with speed hook). I have a few pieces of Dutchware, but I...
My teenagers roll their eyes when I watch a Shug video...especially when I start laughing and spouting weird phrases like, whoooo buddy. My brother in law, he appreciates it completely. Thanks to...
great point. He loves to tinker...with everything. he's a technician...can fix/change anything. I was thinking along the same line...give him either an adjustable or fixed to start with. with my...
I used 110" for my 11' Argon hammock and love it. I didn't have any experience, tried to use an adjustable line...but soon realized with everything new I need somewhere to start. Given that you...
My little brother (220 lb 42 yr old), has a birthday mid December. I just ordered him a 11' Dutch Argon hammock, with 4' tree huggers. I will send him some speed hooks on amsteel to hook up to the...
