Sounds perfect! A few of us from Kansas have done the Minnesota FBH the last two years and we’re looking to possibly switch up our trip this year just to get a change of scenery. Might be seeing you...

Anyone else planning on getting signed up? Forecast is a bit crazy, but I’m sure we will have a great time freezing together! Can’t wait to see everyone out there!


The mountains are calling, and...

Here we go.

Haven’t seen one floating around just yet. Saw that we should be seeing something soon. Hope so. Just want to make sure we are at least prepared on the essentials.

Absolutely cannot wait. Thanks as always, Bic and HBD for all your work! I know this year has been especially tough. Please don’t hesitate to let us know what we can do to help from Kansas.

738 miles, 11.5 hours by car each way from Lawrence, KS to the Sawbill Lake campground in Tofte, MN for the 2018 Frozen Butt Hang in January. Packed our car to the gills for three of us, and it was...

I regularly camp at the sites on the Old Military Trail, and have never once seen another soul up there. The best spot is the second you encounter along the trail (you turn right instead of going...

Just received my Ridgerunner yesterday! Can't wait to try out my first bridge hammock! Going to be really, really hard to get me out of my XLC, though...going to have to force myself to branch out...

Good call - now that we know how it worked out, we'll have a better idea of how to coordinate next year so that we all spend more time as a group. I saw people I hadn't seen a single second of the...

That was a great series and a fun journey to watch. She’s a very pleasant person.

Best of luck, Two Speed! I wish you a safe journey to Canada!

Thank you all, as always, for all the respectful and informed responses! I know I would have to pay the additional custom work fee to get the left-lay Wooki if I went that route, just like I did on...

I've been considering these as an alternative to switching to the Wooki. I don't really struggle with my UQ moving around on me a lot, but it'd be nice to not really have to ever even worry about it....

For all of you that have experience with a standard shock cord suspension UQ that have tried the Warbonnet Wooki, have you found that the lack of adjustment and having fabric instead of shock cord is...

According to the site, the mesh version weighs 91.4 grams vs the argon 90 version which is listed at 103.4 grams.

Lol that's fantastic. I noticed he was wearing a Tool shirt in a previous video. They are the gift that keeps on giving.

Great looking pics, everyone! I went to the MN Frozen Butt Hang this year so I couldn’t join you all, but I’d love to join on a future hang as I’m right next door in NE Kansas, and we don’t yet seem...

Either my first or second post was moved to the donating members section because I asked about cold feet, since I’m a chronic sufferer, and figured everyone here would have sage advice. Didn’t bat an...

Ditto. I was looking for something like 0° during the day and somewhere near -30° at night. Really wanted to get a proper gear test. Now I can't even stack my quilts without breaking a horrible...

Successfully completed #12 just before NYE, January through December 2017. This little adventure has changed my life for the better. Heading to the MN Frozen Butt Hang next week as kind of the...

It's correct in theory that you would be creating a sort of radiant barrier, but the benefit would be negligible for preventing heat loss, whereas the net gain from a black quilt exposed to direct...

Exactly the info I was looking for. I'm hoping we can contribute significantly more, but I wanted to make sure we were prioritizing needs over wants. :)

The three of us coming up from Kansas (we lost our 4th - it wasn’t a good idea for a number of reasons) will be arriving mid to late Thursday night. Packing into my Forester, and after seeing our...

Oh wow that’s a really great idea. Hadn’t thought of just using those.


“The mountains are calling & I must go & I will work on while I can, studying incessantly.”

I've been thinking I want to add pack hooks to my 11' Hexon 1.0 hammock to use as tie-out points just to give me a little more space under certain conditions, but I am curious if I should even do...

Hard work and innovation deserves to be rewarded. So happy you have found such success and fulfillment in this industry. Your outstanding reputation has been earned, not given, and we are all...

To add onto the previous comments, in the doc they send out with their hammocks, when making your adjustments, your foot end will only be higher, but it will be closer to the tree. So when adjusting,...

Yup - all signs point to continued, explosive growth for hammock camping! What could be better?

I did get a confirmation email, and it shows up on the "my orders" page on my Dutchware site account. I think I just have to be patient based on what Vanhalo said, since they placed an order on...

Ah, perfect! That's what I wanted to hear. Started to worry there might have been a problem based on what I saw above.

Patience is a virtue...I shall survive :)

I see in a post above here that someone had problems ordering from Dutch's site during the sale. I placed an order really late on Monday, and paid via PayPal, and received a confirmation email from...

Absolutely amazing work. You really addressed every dream anyone has ever muttered about the XLC, and then some. Really, really nice job. Now to convince the wife that I need another one for...

Great, great write-up! So happy to hear you’re getting a nice extended stay in the woods, and in comfort and style!

Also, absolutely share your sentiments on always taking a pic of the setup so...

Very cool. Who knew so much magic could take place in just one totally normal building?!

Looks great! My buddy and I just started ripping the seams on our Costco quilts last night. Making our first summer quilts and already working on our milkweed pillows. The material is definitely...

Mods you may go ahead and close this. I am going to try selling it once I can order a new XLC (currently out of stock).


“The mountains are calling & I must go & I will work on while I can,...

Still looking for any takers!


“The mountains are calling & I must go & I will work on while I can, studying incessantly.”

Thanks for all the input! I ordered my 50” Saver Series Habanero tonight and could not be more excited. Now the agony of the 4-6 week lead time begins!


“The mountains are calling & I must go & I...

Well, shoot. I don’t even have a trail name, quite honestly. But if you could just toss my username, jhawk, written just like that on it, that’d be cool! Thank you!


“The mountains are calling &...

Cannot tell you how excited I am to try this! Well done! Beautiful construction, and very admirable (and thankful) that you took the time to document and share the process!

I used cinch buckles one time. I was terribly excited. But I haven’t used them since. I just missed my whoopies and toggle too much. Something about that assembly that just satisfies me. Who knows...

Well that’s a kind offer if I’ve ever heard one! You are an awesome human!


“The mountains are calling & I must go & I will work on while I can, studying incessantly.”

I just ordered that gorgeous mug...curse you!


“The mountains are calling & I must go & I will work on while I can, studying incessantly.”

Fantastic! So happy to hear you had a great first night! Looks cozy!

I’ve recently started only putting the tarp up if it’s like a 100% chance of rain, or the forecast shows we will be falling...

Very nice. Envious. I am just dying to get my hands on some 1.6 HyperD. That’s what I am planning on using for my first DIY hammock as well. Sounds like Hexon and HyperD are pretty universally...

Thank you for helping make my dream of replacing all my boring clothing with flannel and hammock-related shirts become a reality!

Bumping in hopes that someone might still want to trade!

That is all great information that we will have to look into trying, because word from Jakobeon as of this morning is that he’s up to 22 grams now after lots of work.

I think I am probably more...

It’s been 18 years since my 7th grade Home-Ec class. 18 years since that stupid assignment where we had to use a sewing...

Very sad news. That's a terrifying new thing to worry about. Doesn't sound like there was any indication the tree was rotten inside. That's a tough break. Quite the parent the to still be grateful...

Best feeling in the world the first time you really "feel it" and everything clicks, and you just know you're as comfortable as you could possibly be in that moment.

Thanks for sharing the...
