Thanks! those look perfect!
Always enjoy your videos Shug, there's just something special about time spent in the woods.
Welcome, After years of ground camping myself, I switched to the trees and haven't looked back. There is a ton of great advice from all over on the forum. Check them out.
I was tired of waking up worse off than when I went to sleep. In time, fiddling with the lines, tarps, etc was an added bonus.
? I just ordered an XLC, so I'm tagging this for info. Would adding a longer tab to the zipper pull help with this?

Sorry for the delay, Sunday's are always busy for me.
By knot, I mean the friction of the loops here:

No time to take it outside today, but it passes the cozy test!
new "problem".... Package shipped, but it's not here yet... ;)
and now USPS.com doesn't speed up shipping when I refresh the status page...
Unless you travel well outside of Huntsville, I'd say a 20 will be fine. 0 would be pretty warm compared to what your weather will be like.
Yep, it'll be worth it I'm sure.
My order is fairly non standard
20° long/wide gray/orange
So I expected to wait a bit... Still can't help being antsy...
Ordered my new Burrow in the 12th, I'm sure it will be shipping soon enough...
Did y'all know that pressing refresh on the status page doesn't make it ship sooner...
My youngest is a fellow Hammock Fanatic, so we have been slowly getting him geared up. We also went with a dutch hammock, and he will use a pad/bag combo for now. With the Scout troop that his older...
Thanks All,
With the combined details (video and text) I have what I was looking for!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks for the videos!
******Now Standard on all topquilts! Integrated attachment points for use with pads******
The site lists these as standard, and I was wondering if anyone had some simple pictures with these in...
I'll take it
Second I'll take it on the Dutch Hammock, If it falls through :)
Is this the newer XLC that is fitted for up to 7' tall folks?
They are Atlas Straps... Heavy... Yes... Easy Yes... Soon to be my Son's problem... Yes... ;)
I think I fixed it Stormstaff... You can also find it here:

Thanks Shug,
BTW, how long is the ridgeline on your tarp in the photo?
I already ended up with a reg underquilt. (found a deal, it works, but I'll replace it last with a tall one and give it to one of the kids, just like the rest of my stuff). The reg doesn't overfill...
This is how things are currently (more or less):

All right, I'm bringing this back to reach out to the vast "wisdom" of the interwebs...

Welcome from the middle of the state

So tempting...
I think I am an xl... though I may need a custom torso...
I'm in, thanks.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Great concept!
I found a deal on a reg HG incubator so I'll be able to start testing with that. That will show me some personal looks at quality, etc, as well as sizing.
I'm researching Top Quilts to find the best options for my non lilliputian self.
I'm 6'5" (215lbs)
I want one that can be pulled over the noggin if need be. Who makes true supersize options...
Not fast enough..
I've seen 2 20° uq's so far in the FS Section, but I am still thinking the long will be better.
Full or torso uq? And how did it go?
Regular or long?
Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions,
as it stands my plan will be more as less as follows:
Underquilt -- 20 deg Full Length/long -- (I'm trying to avoid pads in the long run...
I have done fine so far, time will tell with the ENO Double. WB lists the BB as good till 6'8"... which is one reason I tagged it as a future option... with hindsight and some better planning I...
I'm thinking that at 6'5" I may need to get a longer UQ.
I've been looking at

I could just say Yes... but here are some details
I'll still keep my present stuff and ground gear for when needed.

Now with video!
Just some snippets, first try with the Vlog...
One more thought came round the bend,
In this case I may have been better off to soft pitch the tarp high first to set a working space to get my nest up, then move it down for sleeping.
it may...
I suspect the same thing, but I will likely swap fly's around depending the weather... (plus my kids will eventually start running off with my gear... ask me who has "my" new pillow and sleeping...
