You are quite right. The west side is the most challenging. The loose rocks makes it some hard hiking and is rough on your feet. Here is the link to the map in case you need it. I printed it out and...

Silpoly sounds like that will be the material for me. Thanks for all the assistance.

How does Cuben Fiber, silnylon, and silpoly hold up in the rain? I thought I read or saw on youtube that silnylon eventually starts to sag after a lot of rain. I have no idea if this is true as I...

I apologize for the delay in answering, I just measured it with the snakeskin attached to roughly 8' 7".

The budget isn't too concerning...I would rather have something that I can use for year...

I set my hammock up this afternoon attempting to set my tarp up prior to my hammock with a single ridge line. Upon testing, I realized that I may need a bigger tarp in order to: 1) properly cover my...

I completed the Eagle Rock Loop Trail in the Ouachita National Forest this past weekend. The longest and toughest trail in Arkansas according to the local park ranger. Plenty of places to hang...

Sweet trip. I haven't been back to Gila in a while. I think I might head up there this weekend or next.

Just let me know the final dates and I'll see about getting over there. If anybody knows a location a little bit closer, that'll be great. As it stands, it is about a 12 hour drive for me from El...

Hey fellow hangers,

I'm actually from the El Paso area (that city between Mexico and New Mexico). I'm new to hanging too, I've gone a couple of times to Gila National Forest and I'm thinking about...

Yeah it was kind of a last minute thing. Sorry about that. For me, weekends just get free at the last minute so it is hard to plan stuff sometimes.

Hey, I'm thinking about taking a trip to Gila National Forest this weekend and was wondering if anyone is interested in going.

Has anyone ever tried using Bungee cord to keep tension on a tarp? I have tried it before when setting up a "dry" field position on an FTX, but never while camping? I'm trying to figure out different...

I was camping about 3-4 miles away from the Cliff Dwellings. I think it was trail #160.

The temperature was amazing...about 87-90 during the day (You're in the shade for most of the trail) and...

I was told that when using a under quilt you are suppose to use "somthing" to break the contact with the under quilt and the hammock. I really didn't believe them, but after camping out in the cold,...

The stakes did come loose.Sometime during the night, I guess the wind and me rolling around made it come loose. I am wrapping the tarp and hammock in the same snake skin. One suggestion that I've...

Went to Gila National Forest in NM last weekend to tryout my new hammock. Here is what happened. I have a HH Ultralight Backpacker w/ 2QzQ modifcations. I AHE Suspension and I use a KAQ Under Quilt. ...

I have a HH (that I actually bought from a member of this site) and it has a snake sleave that keeps the hammock. After doing a shake down trip, I've realized that is shouldn't take 10 or more...

Not going to lie, it took me a while to read all of the posts in this thread. I haven't decided on it yet, it will be a serious road trip for me (El Paso area). Will keep y'all posted if I am able to...

Thanks for the heads up. I will definitely check it out.

Hey, I just got back to Texas after a stint overseas. I love backpacking and after taking a trip to Gila National Forest I was interested in trying my luck in hammocks. Anybody have any good...
