PM sent. #2 pending...
Hmmmm indeed! :). No fires allowed out there, but there are pits at Wedding rock so perhaps that is the only exception. Easy to get spots this time of year, I’m sure you would have the entire...
Ive got 2 of these, both the same except for size
- super soft polyester fabric. Not super lightweight, but reasonably light and durable.
- pull over the hammock and cinch on the ends. The...
I love this meyerstech blue polyester strap. Works with becket, buckles, and goes back flat with little fuss.
Been using it since I found it, no issues so far. Best combination of various...
Best made plans!
I setup with porch mode on one side with back and sides out. Wind completely shifted and picked up fast. I thought I was going to go airborne before the stakes gave way.
I did this with a down blanket by just making a gathered end hammock out of it and hanging it right under my hammock and it worked fine. Of course, there is a fair bit of fiddling around to get it...
Captured! Thanks

Like new, still has that crisp feeling to the fabric. Smoke free...
Incredibly beautiful shots - looked like an inspiring trip! Thanks so much for sharing it. I admit that I fell into a 5 minute daydream pretending that I was swinging in my favorite hammock in that...
Can’t wait to get on the other side of Covid, seems like lots of folks here in the PNW.
Love to do an easy-ish group trip somewhere in the spring.
Thanks for the detailed report! I have a trail winder myself and love it. I ordered a 40 degree down UQ for the same reasons you mention. I’m glad you shared your experience because those use...
I used to think about weight a lot and then I realized a few things.
- my pack today is far lighter than when I used a tent
- I rarely hike more than 9 miles per day. Mostly much less than that...
I have them both ways and definitely understand what you mean. The spliced just looks much cleaner, but I see no difference functionally. Items to make it so that it ‘twists’ in the direction of the...
Folks,
Ive got what looks like a problem here with my OG Hammock - Original Gangster first hammock that got me hooked on this amazing way of life! :)
Is it a goner? This hammock has served...
So true!
I almost cancelled my first 5 day solo hammock camping trip due to back pain. So glad that I didn’t because by day 2 I felt like a million $ and came to realize that, at least for me,...
Seems fine, I didn’t notice any effect. I have my first cheap UQ that I use indoors. It’s well designed, but only has a rating of 50 or so. I think I paid $65 for it. It’s been a great quilt at...
Pulled something in my back yesterday doing things that I should know better than to try. Been using a heating pad.
Today, I had an idea. I put a heated blanket between my indoor hammock and...
Thanks for this! It’s been driving me mad having to upload images elsewhere before posting them due to the inside down issue.
I got a decked out SLD Trail Lair with all the trimmings. Special netting. I’ll post pictures once I get some good ones.
That’s a beauty!
I have a 40 degree HG down underquilt that I’ll use year-round and a 20 degree synthetic UQ/Protector from Simply Light Designs that I use in wet or colder weather. The idea being that I use one,...
I don’t overthink it, I am making adjustments here and there. Mostly, bringing less and less gear that I don’t use! :).
The one constant and I can’t stress this enough is to make sure to put...
I’d think of it this way - you are working with a top hammock from a top hammock maker trying all sorts of advice from (present company excluded) top hammockers.
So, if it turns out that hammocks...
You’re talking about my dream UQ/P setup. I tried to talk SLD Jared into making the insulation on the asym trail winder snap on to the protector so that I could attach or stack different insulation...
My down hood often takes me directly to a Happy Place!
Once I’m cold, forget it, I know that I’m not falling back to sleep. Better to get up, take a short walk, have a snack, or make a fire. I haven’t used those warmers in years, but used them...
I have a hexon and hyper 1.6. I really like them both, but would give the comfort edge to HyperD which seems less stiff to me. But, like I said, I like them both. Hexon is a bit more cloth like I’d...
I have shock cord loops on the tie outs and then just loop those over each end of a trekking pole over the head end of the hammock. Makes a ton more space and less ropes to trip over. Can also use...
Nice gooless! One of my favorite coasts.

I was confused by having to seal my Superfly until I got it.
You only seal the pullouts - not the ridgeline of the tarp. If you never sealed the pullouts I don’t see how that could leave anyone...
Nothing to do with relative strengths, but I find a thicker rope much easier to use.
For example, once I tried a Dream Hammock with a thicker amsteel ridgeline, anything else seems sub par. ...
I don’t need much. In the summer I use an inflatable pillow, but find that I prefer a wool glove under my neck in the winter.
Loved the video! So beautiful and especially how you gingerly walk to avoid the hanging branches avalanche! They always seem to dump the snow right down the back of your shirt!
Watched it twice....
When I was a kid, we came back from a hike one time and the bear was eating our snacks still in the tent! My dad put us in the truck and we drove out of there. Always called that spot bear camp...
Oh yeah, I get it!
I ran the idea of an indoor hammock by her and read that first few milliseconds of response (horror). She backed it up with, 'aren't hammocks for enjoying the outdoors and...
Interesting. I had assumed put this particular synthetic UQ on the outside since it is also a protector shell made of argon 90. I have never experienced condensation on the inside of my UQs yet,...
Question for you folks that have a tensa 4.
I’ve been struggling to hang inside when my back acts up. I have a setup in my indoor man cave area, but it’s far from ideal due to all the other...
Yeah, I am at a total loss to explain this - thats 26 degree F. I have the same UQ and have used it comfortably but so far only to 35. But stacking 2 should certainly have done it.
I do love...
I have one. Unless I am camping in the same spot for a few days, I dont use it. I find my pack hanging on the ridge line to be a great spot to keep stuff, although I do need to get out of the...
I’m very intrigued. I’ve been very happy with my asym winder. I need 2 40 degree UQs. I’ve got an incubator, figure I’ll get a 40 winder and see what I like best, combine them when needed which...
I have an UQ that has snaps that allow me to snap in a blanket for additional insulation.
It works amazingly well. You could do something similar - just add snaps to your UQ and a camping...
I never understood the bugnet in the face concerns. I have mostly wide hammocks and Ive never, not one time, had this problem. I dont ever use a tie out, just never saw a need.
I prefer no...
When my Dad first retired I asked him about keeping busy. He said, I’m busier in retirement than I ever was at work, I just take my time!
You’ve got it.
