daltontr. I have used a BA Insulated Air core 25"x75" (3/4 filled) with a HG 20* Incubator in sub-freezing temps.
Jury is still out for me. I love how the mat spreads the BMBH out & the soft,...
trailryder42, I use an incubator for both my traveler & BMBH. Works flawlessly for both with virtually no fiddle factor. I have a short piece of 1/8" shock cord attached to the four outside...
Dejoha generously gave me a copy on a recent hang together. Simple but comprehensive, well written & illustrated.
My wife measuring me delt to delt from behind back/neck. I overhang my 25" pad quite a bit with arms crossed coffin style. Sometimes it's hard to tell if I'm standing up or not :lol:. This has...
Crazy Chester, welcome to HF.
Wisdom is strong with this one. You may also wish to talk with Jack at JRB. Like most of the cottage entrepreneurs on HF, they stand behind they're products...

Thanks for the chuckle dejoha. I have a somewhat different progression but in it's own way similar, that some may relate to.
#1. After being an avid outdoorsman in a prior life I became...
Update; no longer need a TQ but still in the market for an UQ.
Anyone know if the Incubator will fit a BMBH without modding or fiddling? 77"length works but don't know about 44"width as the Mnt Wash is 42"W I believe.
I'll take it. PM on it's way.
I'm using a BA insulated 25"x77"x2.5" in my BMBH. Fully inflated slips in & out easily. That said it is best to use the pad only partially filled, 1/2 to 3/4, so you're pad should do just fine. ...
Prefer the #3 & standard Sniveller but will consider #4 & High Sierra.
I contacted Trip. Decent deal & I might bite but I'm more interested in an UQ as the TQ is the secondary wish for me. ...
I'm considering upgrading UQ/TQ for my JRB bridge. If you have either or both & are considering selling I might be interested.
A big TY to dejoha for putting this together. My noobness was apparent & I learned a lot from both MuseJr & dejoha.
I like this philosophy.
BTW forgot to mention I was doing this to save some pack space & a few ounces since I'm using synthetic for now. Since I like the conversion of the head piece to hoody...
Bravo dejoha. Excellent choice & outstanding directions. I'll be there sometime Friday morning. Looks like there may be cell service there at least at parking.
I may be first one there after...
I am hereby voluntarily rescinding my Man Card & my right to call a sewing machine a Thread Injector until further notice.
I cannot recall ever performing, anything I've attempted in my time on...
SamuelJD a lot of what you say makes sense. It may be prudent to plan group hangs around the thought of being tolerant to a wide variety of hikers/campers including car campers & easy trail hikers...
I will be shuttling dejoha in to the trialhead Thur late am & getting a look at road condition. It rained & snowed Sun & Mon. I'll will update post Thur.
I'll be driving back in Friday mid to...
Wow, what a brilliant idea.
I voted N-Rim CG only due to the facilities & chillin on the terraces at the lodge is rather pleasant but Wilderness is great to. Views are also much better at North Rim IMO.
Although the North...
P.S. I would not want to do the second half of this hike in the dark, remember this is a canyon that is vertical on both sides. With that in mind I personally would be hesitant to attempt from...
TM's will not be necessary. Once you pass the Secret Canyon/David Miller trail split which is well marked you start heading west up the canyon - Accept for dry river crossings, trail deviation is...
Finally made the scout trip. Sorry no pictures or video.
To start, this is a drop dead gorgeous hike. Fall colors are always a treat in AZ & I suspect there will be some left a week or so from...
For my new BMBH I settled on a BA insulated aircore 25"x77" and love the structure & comfort it adds. As the temp's begin to dip I've noticed that the pad while keeping me from freezing doesn't...
No worries, we'll get it figured out. Dejoha, most likely I will be going in with you on Thur which gives you a ride to the trail head. For those hoofing FR530 to the trailhead behind us need only...
Well folks no trail scouting today & weather report calling for thunder storm/rain tonight through tomorrow. Wed/Thur looks sketchy as I won't do the FR or trail wet. Too much risk. My 27th...
I passed a long rock gulch with plenty of water in it. I have no idea whether Secret Canyon trail will have any but most likely. I was packing 4L for just an overnighter. We'll have a better idea...
I headed out to scout early Wed afternoon planning on doing an overnight.
Guess it's hiking season in Sedona. Pulling into FR530 was a beehive of people, vehicles and activity - NO available...
That's a screamin deal. If I didn't already have a good fleece jacket I'd jump all over that.
Gary_R, I just re-read my comment & if it came off kinda smart#ss please forgive me, I did not mean it that way.
Ever heard of a Venus Fly trap? I imagine that is what one might feel like if your spreader poles collapse. To my understanding, but have no experience with this, the dowels are used to secure the...
I found HF soon after I had gotten my first hammock, a HH Exped. I was, and still am, impressed with the attitude, experience & generosity of the members here. Conflicts are extremely rare but when...
I thought I had this down to the BA but this dang Exped SynMat 7 keeps popping up in my research.
Side bolsters-better but not so much in a bridge unless you go to ground I think,...
Fantastic, thanks guys.
I plan on a DIY UQ soon which will only cost me $30. and be relatively light & packable. Unless someone posts "No don't do it" I'm thinking the BA insulated core LW...
Hmm, maybe too many hung-over or late for work today :D
Um, I think snuggling changes the dynamics a bit ;)
I think this UL thing is a decease which I hope I never catch as one of the known side effects is EmptyPocketsSyndrome :lol: However 11oz savings is pretty good.
Ya know BER the Exped DAM9 is one I was liking. With a weight of 44oz & pack size of 7'x11' very doable & that R8 rating is phenomenal. Unfortunately the price tag of $200. :scared: but it's still...
Good deal IMO.
Not trying to talk you into anything but have you read my 2 posts in JRB section? I'm a wide body that can't stand confinement so I had the same issues & more your describing. I...
BillyBob58 - Thanks for your input. Looks like I'm still hunting the answer.
One thing I'm finding, beyond my comments in my original post, with the SI's is they are rather heavy & even more...
No secret. Figured it was no big deal since it would be self evident within a few days. But since it appears important to you I'll concede.
A GE supports the weight along it's center from end to...
You should be enjoying your BMBH very soon. You'll figure out what I'm talking about real quick especially if your used to a gathered end.
I plan on scouting the road & trail next week. I emphasize "plan on" since every time I plan, God chuckles. I will report.
Roadtorque that would be great, I'll wait. I believe a lot of the forum members that might have some insight are out on the trail this weekend anyways.
That it was. I'm gathering a SI pad is...
Yep pretty much. Some stretches are okay, others not so much. Deep & wide tire ruts (think big trucks & 4X4's), elevated rocks/boulders, and uphill/downhill rock ladders are strategically...
I must be missing something here & need a little enlightening, I have no experience with SI pads. When I used Son in Laws SI pad as described in my above post item #3. it didn't give me enough...
Getting used to my new BMBH. When I side sleep I must have a good size pillow, think body pillow, between my legs (bow legged & bad back), a little difficult to find the space in the pack for this. ...
I'm new to the BMBH (have about 4 partial & 3 full nights now) so I'm sure there is much I don't know.
1. Indoors - virgin hammock w/no insulation. Did not like shoulder roll (wide shoulders) &...
Never mind. I did some research & it seems all things being equal (feather to down percentage) goose has superior loft therefore higher performance to weight.
