I have this one. https://helinox.com/products/side-table-s It packs into a small bag. Weighs very little (I car camp, so I’m not a gram weenie)

That has been my impression. You are also paying a little bit for the innovation of the product. Nobody else has the little whiz bang gizmos that Dutch has, and he has a right to recoup some of his...
I have a Chameleon now with the beetle buckle suspension. I also have my ENO double nest that was my starter hammock. My ENO had the factory gathered end ropes traded out for some whoopie slings, and...
This. I was also using mini biners until I realized this. [emoji1787]

Should be fine. I’m pretty sure my Dutchware tarp line is Zing-It
(Edit) I just looked on Dutch’s site, and that’s what it is. His tarp continuous ridge line is made with Zing-It, a Dutch hook on...
This was my youngest at a little over 2 years. He had been in my hammock with me before, but I didn’t get any pics.

I live and primarily hang in NW GA. We don’t actually have a winter, we just have a few really cold days sprinkled into the less hot than the middle of summer days. I’ve got a trip planned with my...
There’s also a specific hammock pad from Klymit

Stainless steel is also typically softer than a lot of other steels. If you’re looking at tying into a structural member, aka, a stud or joist, you can buy long screws called timber locks that have a...
Most of my camping is done with Scouts, and I’m too fat to get undressed and dressed laying in my hammock, so no

So update to my last statement regarding my new hammock. Got to use it this week Sunday thru Tuesday nights at Cub Scout camp. The lows were in the low 70’s, highs in the high 90’s with a heat index...
I may have to adapt my previous statement this summer. I have been using an ENO Double Nest since I started hammocking, with a full coverage bug net, and now have a Dutch Chameleon single layer,...
Forgot to mention the visibility part. One advantage I did find of this would be for backyard hangs. There’s plenty of room inside, and there’s a bathtub floor. I used it during a backyard hang in...
It’s light, and very tight weave

I have that, but lost the spreader poles a few months after getting it. It keeps the bugs out well, as well as the air. Anything short of a stiff wind you’ll never feel.

I wear very minimal clothing in my hammock, as your insulation is actually more effective if you have less on. Same applies to sleeping bags on the ground. With an UQ/TQ combo, you should be...
Has your pediatrician projected his adult height? I would buy one based on that if it was me. We bought my oldest a Grand Trunk mosquito hammock when he was about that age, but I expect him to...
From what I’ve seen of that type of ship, nothing above deck is tall enough to hang a hammock, and probably not strong enough either. From what I could tell, everyone sleeps on a backpacking type...
I copied this from a blog of someone who did the sailing adventure
Do not bring Eno (or other brand) hammocks. There is nowhere to hang a hammock on a sailboat, period. OK, there may be one...
Do you have a link to plans for said stand? I liked my turtle dog, but it was so large that transporting it was a problem. $25 is no issue, it’s the ones I’ve seen factory made that are near $200...
I do, but I haven’t been able to invest in one yet. I’ve got an old turtle dog stand that I built a few years ago, but I haven’t used it in a while, and I didn’t really have room in my vehicle to...
I’m camping with my Cubs this weekend, and I REALLY wanted to use my new Chameleon. Only problem is the property we’re camping on is nothing but timber pines, in perfect straight rows, with widow...
Working for me? Thankfully, Dutch has already made my wallet lighter, so there’s nothing else for me to order currently

Actually, I’m originally from Oxford, AL, but one of the Assistant Scoutmasters in my oldest son’s troop is a Berry HS alum. I was born in 1979 though, so no, I don’t remember much from 1984...
Those are all good recommendations. Pinhoti trail is near you too and runs through my neck of the woods as well

Welcome from Rome, GA just across the state line from you. Been hammocking with my Scout groups now for 8 years.

I watched a video this morning about the UGQ Winter Dream 13, and the guy in the video said he and his wife both have ridgerunners, and the inside of the tarp with the pole mods looked positively...
Should have said, I'm in Rome, GA. I personally have an ENO Double nest, with the bug net and pro-fly tarp. I've had this setup for several years, and probably have 30-40 nights in it. My oldest son...
Also hello from GA. Welcome to the best place for that info. What kind of camping are you getting into is the first question?
Still available? Pics?
Sorry guys. Won't be able to make this. I had a brain fart, this is the weekend of my youngest sons birthday party. Y'all have fun, maybe I'll catch you next time.
I'm tentatively in. Might see if another local hanger I know wants to check this out too.
I have a grand trunk pillow which I use with my ENO DN. I really like it because it is adjustable (via a drawstring), so I can fine tune the loft if it's too flat or too fluffy.
Where you thinking? I'm in NW GA, but honestly, most of mid to northeastern AL is more accessible to me. I have family around Oxford too, so making that trip is no problem.
Welcome from NW Georgia!
Welcome from Rome and a fellow Cub Scout leader.
How much was in your attic? Kinda looks like a high quality reflective barrier that some home insulation companies push.
I have the ENO Guardian, but am seriously looking at getting the Grand Trunk mosquito net, due to the fact that the GT goes all the way to the ground and has a floor with stake out points. Of course,...
Welcome from Rome, GA and Roll Tide!!
Welcome from Rome!
Subscribed. Definitely interested. Looks a lot better thought out than the other RL organizers I've seen.
The first part of mine is pretty obvious, the second is a tie in with my last name "Grizzard". I've been called several variations over the years, usually The Grizz, and since that was already taken...
Welcome from Rome!
Look for a true pro quality bonded braided masons line. Lowes used to sell some that was made by Kraft, but don't think they have it anymore. I carry about 10-12 feet of this in my pocket every day...
Welcome from Pack 34 in Rome, GA. Been a scouter since I was 7, but just recently went to a hammock.
Welcome from another Roman.
Count me in!!!
Welcome from a newb in Rome, GA, just over the line.
@boomer, I was going to look at a different tarp, but this was a Christmas present, and purchased during ENO's Christmas sale, so they had the best price I could find on a complete package at the...
