Friday- Dave and I arrived friday afternoon at the FR80 entrance. We really didnt know what to expect, it being both of our first times backpacking. It was very wet but also very enjoyable. We...

Thanks for reporting. I was one of the others you meet Saturday morning. We set up camp on the oposite side of the creek Saturday evening. We headed out about 20 minutes after your group left on...

Looks like I will make it with 1 or 2 friends. One of them is in a tent. He is still welcome, right. LOL

In and out through FR80.

How about if you use K.A.M.P nano biners or the like. They are rated for 20Kn. If you are using some sort of tree protection, you could use dyneema climbing slings. All this will come with a...

Some very good answers here. Thanks for everyones opinions. By no means did I ever intend not to check, if possible, for dead branches. But, I have come across very think canopies , low light...

Could a amsteel ridgeline help protect against unseen widowmakers? Thoughts please. Thanks...

If I would not have put the rings on, taken a picture, then taken them back off you wouldnt have been confused. We will blame it on the order that I took the pictures in. OK.......:)

I took off the rings attached it to the hammock then put back on the rings. The rings can come on and off. You don't need a free end.

Hi Knotty, I didnt have the rings on when I spliced. I put them on afterwards, by slipping the loop through the rings then widening the loop bringing up and backwards then down over the rings. I...

LMAO, heineken cans.

when your wife says "look at that pretty bird" and you respond
" The one on the widow maker???"

Thanks to Just Jeff, Knotty, and many others who post and contribute to this site (the best on the internet), I converted my sons HH expedition to ring buckle today. what is the best knot for...

No weight is resting on the bottom entrance , for you lay on the diagonal. My friends, family,or I havent had any issues with HH failing. Graywolfs failure had to do with the hammock suspension...

Couldnt you just clip the biner through the rings, then thread the strap through the rings, then finally just wrap the strap around the tree then clips biner around the strap to secure. I know it...

Just using the tarp is easy since I have it setup seperately. Will not save from the bugs, though. Thanks everone!!

sorry all, just found another thread asking the same. But you can still post pictures. thanks...

Several times, I have come across,the rare situation where it would have been easier to have had a tent with me instead. I would like to see the different ways you set-up on the ground when needed. ...

LOL, thats great

Others advise +, tell someone else where your going for how long. Just in case.

I really wanted to make this one. Someone, please post trip report.

Very cool!!!!

TI shepards hooks in a sack that one of my sunglasses came in.

Thanks!!! I try.:D

Had to break out the old tent for my wife and daughter this weekend. Remembered another reason why i hang, besides greater number of site to select from, comfort, great ventilation, ease of...

I like WV's username, as I like the beautiful state of West Virginia. I like all the contributionsn WV has made to this site (with many pictures). And at last, I like WVs bushcooker set-up.

Welcome, I think you will love the forums here. The folks here run a clean and informative site. Its by far the best I have ever been on. No negative vibes here. No questions to noob or green. ...

REI has it, if you dont feel that waiting. The REI around me keeps it in stock. They have it in 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, and 7/64 ". http://www.rei.com/search?query=shock+cord

I think it has to do with the amount per square inch of the threads collectively, not one thread. Someone else will chime in hopefully....

Hey, that kind of stuff happens. At least, it wasnt someting that resulted in an injury. Thanks for the post. It may have saved me a future broken ridgeline. I see so many people pull theirself...

There Otter, I will switch places with you. I like the fact that Otter let me know that I spelled Whoopie wrong. Thanks I will now correct it.

I like your sense of humor. I like all your informative videos. And most of all I love the way that Carolina pulled pork looked.

Thanks again all, I just finished my big bishop bag. I made it big enough to fit all my winter stuff. As is, it compresses down to a little larger than a football. I might add compression straps...

Thanks for the replies everone.....

Jeff, That is eactly what I was asking. Do you roll or stuff? Did you make the bag large enough so it would contort to the shape of your backpack? Anything to keep in mind when making mine. ...

Does or has anyone had any experience in using a bishop bag big enough to fit hammock + under quilt? Thanks...........

LOL, Amie cant even thread the machine. I can ALWAYS fit more good food. That smoked deer was SMOKIN. Maybe you should make a video. But once again Amie sew, LOL LOL.....

Gargoyle, Thanks. ...

I figure about 40 degrees give or take. I guess it depends on other factors. But I would say 40. Shug just watched that BBQ video, now Im hungry again. Great job.

Thanks, I used 3 oz. primaloft sport for insulation. Momentum 0.9 oz taffeta for the liner and momentum 0.9 oz ripstop for the shell. I wanted black on one side, so it would dry faster in the sun...

and more pictures.

Just finished a matching TQ for the UQ I made last week. These were my first attempt at sewing and quite a learning experience. I have taken plenty of pictures for beginning to end if anyone wants...

No problem at al,l other people had net hammocks hung with rope, all over the place.

I think that is the most incredable thing I have ever seen. Will you marry me? LOL

and more taken later. This is my first crack at sewing. Next will be the TQ. Then UL backpack.

Thanks finished except, I still need to bar tack. Its based on the KAQ design with some minor changes.

Hi everyone, I just recieved my momentum 90 and primaloft sport. I ordered primaloft over climashield because I have equipement made with PL and I like the softness of it. I heard CL is good as...

When the spots in concern dryed out. I used a brush to knock it off. At that point you could hardly tell it was ever there. Then I used outdoor gear detergent to spot treat. after that, I hand...

Thanks in advance for any responses. Today I recieved a hh expedition side zip hammock for my son. He loves it. He let his grand father lay in it and we discoved he had stepped in dog crap. ...

I will try to make it if I can get over my fear of the Blair Witch. I am pretty sure this was the location they filmed it. Spoooookeeey

A friend of mine has a Byer Moskito. I can only compare it to a few hennessey models. Im 6'1" and the Byer felt small to me. As the others said, you will need to add suspenion and tarp. For a...
