Thanks for the tips, I love the cape idea!
You're probably right about the silnylon but I don't want to take any chances on a tarp not holding up. I don't have a summer hammock since I usually camp off-season but I'm planning to try it DIY...
Hey folks,
I'll be spending my summer working as a canoe guide in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota! I'll be hammock camping for 10 days at a time, for three months straight and knowing that more...
Recently I found a jungle hammock in great shape in my grandparent's basement. It smelled horrible, and thinking the issue was mildew I put it out in the sun for several days. The smell improved but...
Based on the picture, looks like you could use the apple tree as an anchor for a line running from the post to the base of the apple tree. If you ran a line between the post and the apple tree,...
The GT UL works fine with my wilderness logics 3/4 length
I'll take the remaining whoopies, if they're still available.
Are the whoopies DIY or purchased?
Could you post a link to the item on a website, so we know what product it is exactly, and compare the new price?

Awesome trip, it's a beautiful place.
Pitching on an incline - one of the MANY virtues of hammocking!
This happens to my gear too. I have a sleeping bag from WWII that keeps me nice and toasty in the winter, but it's leaking from several places. I'd like to sew on some patches but I'm not sure that...
I'll take 20 ft of the webbing!
Does the MSR filter have the ceramic filter piece as well? If so, I'd love to take it off your hands!
Awesome gear! Im in and good luck to all
I have the cheapest GT, and have had no problem with the suspension cords. if you want, you can untie the s-hooks to save on weight and loop them directly to your toggles or biners or whatever you...
Thank you everyone for your replies! It seems as though condensation would be the biggest issue here, especially since heat would be trapped between my hammock and the sheet. I guess I would have to...
I had an idea for a 3-season underquilt: A mylar blanket covered in nylon, for durability and protection. The blanket could be suspended fron the hammock much like an underquilt with shock cord. The...
