Bump and price reduction
I’m selling two UGQ quilts - a top quilt and an underquilt in like new condition. They are both 20 degree 900 fill water resistant down. They're very lightly used and...
It's 72 inches long, 48 inches wide at the top, and 36 inches wide at the bottom.
It weighs about 25 ounces. My kitchen scale says it weighs 25.5 ounces including the stuff sack.

Haha! I bet if you hadn't taken all of those precautions there would have been millions of them.
Gadget - thanks for the tip about buying a ready made net - thats probably the route I'll take. I'm not a fan of bug nets generally but I have an almost obsessive fear of midges and I feel the need...
Thanks guys. I don't know who I can ask to sew it for me but hopefully I'll come up with someone. The peak of my sewing skills is a rather poor job of reattaching a button.
Perfect. Thats just what I wanted to know. Thank you. Now I have to figure out if I can hand sew it because I don't have a TI
I live in the USA and I am planning a trip to Scotland this summer. I want to make a Fronkey net to protect me from the midges in Scotland. Does anyone know what size mesh I will need?
I...
Thanks Wha
Would you sleep with no physical barrier between you and midges if you are using Smidge or Skin So Soft (aka DEET)?
Have you used permethrin?

I'm planning a Lands End to John O Groats bike ride next year. I was planning for June but because of concern about midges I'm thinking of changing to April (May isn't possible for me). Has anyone...
Bonide Bedbug Killer works very well. I prefer it to Martins because the smell is not as pronounced. I think that the active ingredient in Bonide varies so it is wise to check the label to be sure...
I'm sorry, yes it is still available
Not at this point but I probably would if I don't manage to sell the whole package within a reasonable time. Thanks for asking.
Filson Foul Weather Jacket with wool liner - size M
I bought this jacket a few years ago but never wore it much. It is in used but good condition with no tears or stains. It includes a removable...
Your Mileage May Vary. I don't like acronyms because when I read them there is a lag time when I convert them to what they mean. Things without acronyms are much easier to read - for me at least -...
Quoted from OP: "You could add this suspension to your $30 PolyD or ARGON hammock and have a total cost of $55 for a high quality hammock with a complete suspension."
I like the sound of this but...
I'm confused. Are there hammocks available in 1.2 or is it just the material itself for sale? I can't find 1.2 hammocks on Dutch's website.

I haven't camped at Riverbend but I did help with the early stages of building it. You would be okay in a hammock there.
I have paddled past Little River but I didn't get out and look at it. ...
Nice work Mike! Why do you have such a long cross beam? It looks like all of the dimensions could be reduced without affecting the lay or the height of the hammock?
Also, is this basically a...
I know that works if you're stuffing into a pack but with a dry bag its a different matter. The quilts expand faster than the dry bag top can be rolled down which then results in a sketchy seal. I...
You base your calculation on what you think the material costs are. You have no idea how much scrap, labor or set up charges are. I think it is unreasonable to ask for an itemized list. Would that...
I live in Buncombe County, NC but spend a lot of time in Columbia for my work. I really like the people there and it has a nice laid back charm to it. Since I visit to work I don't have time to...
I got some of these so that I could easily bundle my stuff up and lock it in the car when car camping - they are very good for that. I used them with a big dry bag on a kayaking trip once but the...
I like straps and rings best. They are slightly bulkier and heavier than a whoopie set up but for me at least they are much easier to adjust. Whoopies have more components and are more fussy. A...
Thanks again for your input Joey. I dislike the new reservation system too and thats very bad form for anyone to book a spot and not show up. I imagine its hard to do much about though. I would...
Joey - thank you for your input. You made be reconsider #87. I looked at the permitting website and it looks like there is a limit of six campers and there are four spaces available. Do you know...
I'm planning a paddling trip on Fontana and I'm curious about campsite #73. Its boat in only but I haven't been able to find any more information than that. Does anyone know anything about it?

Why? You seem to be the only person who has replied to this thread who thinks the price should be removed. It would be helpful to know why you feel this way.
Mid week, last week. Two nights kayak camping on Lake Jocassee, SC. I actually slept on the NC shore but launched at Devils Fork SC. Very nice.
(Now balanced with two weeks in hotels for work. ...
Great pictures Rainman - thanks for sharing.
Whats up with all of the abandoned tents? I found one on the SC Foothills Trail last week too.

Why is the option to start a new thread available to me in some forums but not in others?

PeteZ - I've sent you a PM
Thanks Caveman.
I have the materials on order but I'm away from home for the next week so won't get to it for a little while. I like that you can just re-whip and that its not the end of the...

I spoke to deagle1969 (aka Chad at http://www.ebay.com/itm/120825971714 ) yesterday and he said he only has about 400 left and doesn't know whether he will be able to get more or not.

I saw on another thread (which I can no longer find) that the whipping needed to be done differently for a 90" wide tablecloth. Can anyone please throw any light on this?
I don't know how this would work with the Home Depot line that you have but you may want to give it a try as an adjustable ridge line.
Attach a prussic to the ridge line and nearby tie a loop...
Is the width of a top quilt solely dependent on the size of the user or are there other factors involved? I've looked on manufacturers websites but other than stating what widths are available there...
Looks like a nice set up. Thanks for posting the pictures.
Do you have any pictures of the hex format? I've struggled with a 3 x 3 DD tarp at times because the diagonal in too long and the side to side (3m) is too short for me. I have a Switchback hammock...
I saw that in Tractor Supply but I was worried about potential smell because it contains petroleum distillates.
Does it have a smell to it?

You can get a gallon of 0.5% from Bed, Bath & Beyond. See post #34 of this thread. I ordered last week and it came today.
