The tree distance is suboptimal. All of my trees are too far apart in the back yard so I just use them for testing. I am using a continuous ridgeline, the tarp is attached to it via soft shackles.

Got my new Edge in:

This will be my primary tarp for two reasons. The first is that I will have the Spindrift on my Ridgerunner as soon as the temps drop and this combination makes for...
Thanks for the heads up Dutch. I will swap out the camo for the black straps.
Go with the Spindrift Sock for the Ridgerunner. It will give you the sock coverage that you are looking for and add more warmth and protection than a simpler cover would. It is an exceptional...
Try the new G Clips! Mailman was supposed to deliver mine tonight but failed to do so. Monday is my birthday so it is appropriate that I get my new Dutchware then I suppose.
If you fit in the hammock length wise you will be covered by the full length Lynx. Brandon built the Lynx to fit the Ridgerunner perfectly when loaded. Fit and coverage are perfect.
Just ordered a pair of these guys. I love the simplicity of this and the ability to drop my cinches. Great stuff as always.
I have the regular, which fits the end well. The regular does not fit the head end perfectly, the large would probably be a better fit. When I put it on the head end it had to be away from the...
Just got my Lynx and Spindrift. They are way too warm to enjoy in the current Dallas heat, but they are great. The Spindrift creates a nice cocoon that will be great for the winter. The Lynx goes on...
Thanks for the confirmation. That is a well crafted Jacks R Better Jeff's Gear Hammock. It has come in handy with my gather end hammocks but just fits the RR perfectly.

Is this going to be a problem, to hang a gear hammock off of the suspension of my bridge hammock? I have this gear hammock hanging on soft shackles with prusiks from the suspension. I...
My Lynx and Spindrift are on their way! Sold an under quilt and some other gear to pay for the swap since I am all in on the RR. I can't wait to get this winter gear, try it out for a couple of...
Mesh skins are great, the extra pockets for your ridge line and any lines are great. But best of all is the ability to pull a tarp in the rain and actually pull it out drier when you get where you...
I cannot stop going to the backyard and crawling into mine, it arrived on Wednesday. You will love it. This week I will be waiting for my Arrowhead and Dutchware gear for it to make some slight...
All items sold, all funds received.
Sunday morning coming down...on the price of the Glider.
Saturday morning price drops on the Kammok gear.
I ordered my Ridgerunner on the 5th and received it on Wednesday.
It took me forever to find out what this was for:

I finally dug far enough back through the forums to find the answer. It was buried deep but I knew it just had to be on HF somewhere. It...
The new Ridgerunner is set up in the backyard and I am loving it!

Relaxing in the shade of my UGQ Winter Dream.
I have been gathering gear for a while now and it is time to get rid of some of my excess gear from learning what I want. I was fired last week and so I am also getting rid of a couple of piesces of...
My Ridgerunner is in and it is great. Great craftsmanship and a great lay. I am looking forward to sleeping in it, but I don't know when that will be. It is too hot in the backyard to sleep there and...
Had I not been fired this week I would be all over this. Unfortunate timing. I am sure it will get snatched up.
This is very cool. I will have to make these once I get my wife on board to try hanging.
I find the low 70s to be the coolest I can sleep without insulation. But I have never gotten hot with insulation so I just keep it on like SilvrSurfr.
Yes, thanks for bringing this up, I will be trying this hitch out.
I started with a sleeping bag as my top quilt when I started hanging. I have since replaced it with Flight Jacket top quilt that I use even if I go to ground. No more sleeping bags for me.
Welcome to the forums. Your addiction will be well fed here.
And now it begins, the unbearable waiting between the "Shipped!" email and the postman knocking on the door. I am so very excited.
I have been putting off buying some titanium hook stakes. Unbeknownst to me I was waiting for Dutch to provide the best for me. The tarp pole mods are very cool as well and will be on one of my tarps...
As will I.
Thanks for posting this. I have thought about getting one of these belts but talked myself out of it a couple of times. Now I will definitely have to give it a try.
I have UGQ quilts and I have a 0º Zeppelin and a 20º Flight Jacket. I sleep cold and spend time in the Ozarks, so I wanted extra warmth. I have no trouble sleeping comfortably with the 0º in very...
I was just out in the hill country in Texas a couple of weekends ago and I used a poncho liner as my underquilt. At 70º you want something under you to avoid the Cold Butt Syndrome but will not need...
If the extra weight is not an issue I recommend going with the 700. I have 700 duck down in my UGQ Flight Jacket and Zeppelin and love them. They compress great and retain warmth exceptionally. I...
Dehoja has a great article on drip lines and water breaks over on The Ultimate Hang/.
Very cool concept! An elegant solution that adds strength. I like what is going on in the DH think tank over there. Thanks for sharing with us.
I have the Thunderbird and the adaptability is great. Being able to leave behind the covers in the fall and spring and take the winter cover or bug cover when appropriate is great. I went 11' and...
I will take the new yukon hammock.
Overfill makes the quilt warmer. The different between say a 20º and 0º quilt will only be how much insulation it has. By adding overfill to the 20º you will push its rating closer to 0º. I have a...
I mix up corporate to cottage to DIY and use what works for my current needs. This is one of the draws of hammock camping for me, the ability to make it work however you need to and with whatever is...
I absolutely love my Underground Quilts Flight Jacket top quilt. Paul and Missy provide help figuring out the right options, they have goose and duck down to chose from for price adjustability, and...
You should check out the Hennessy section of the forums as there are many discussions about the SuperShelter. I have a Hennessy and use my UGQ Zeppelin with it with very warm results. I have had....
I pack a Goosefeet Gear down pillow that I sleep with sometimes and not others. It is small and light enough that I don't mind carrying it even if I don't use it for a night or two.
I am trying my best not to use this as an excuse to get a new quilt. It would be fun to have something more colorful amidst my dark and dreary hanging gear.
I went with the double layer. I cannot wait to try a new hang. I have watched every video I can get my hands on and now just have to bide my time.
I surely should not have just ordered a new hammock, especially since my camping season is over (I camp to climb and the world is too hot for friction). Despite that, I have ordered a Ridgerunner. I...
I am considering a RidgeRunner for similar reasons. I recently got a bad for my gathered end hammock as a last attempt at overcoming the calf ridge issues. Judging by everyone's responses I believe...
The hammock that started my madness was an ENO and I found it too short for sleeping. I now sleep in an 11 foot hammock and find it ideal. Like JToon, my ENO lives in my climbing bag and gets strung...
I have been using an Underground Quilts Zeppelin for the past few trips with my Dream Hammock. On my trip to Austin this weekend I used a Big Agnes pad and enjoyed the hang. I did not like the...
