I have used the "double UQ method" and the only trouble I had was the UQs shifting. I had a 40° DIY full length closest to me, and a 3/4 20° Zepplin outside of that. I have done the "pad/Uq" combo...

I've done myself (250-ish) plus my oldest (~65-70)...it held us, but I didn't push it by wiggling or swinging...and it was only for about 5 minutes or so. My stand is made with the typical 2x2 pine...

I dont think cat cuts are as important on SilPoly (compared to SilNylon).
I've made a few tarps and I have strung them tight. I've never had problems with a French fell seam being sufficient for a...

I hear that Cuban fiber is kind of "krinkley", and maybe it traps too much air when trying to compress?
Just thoughts though, I'm way far away from owning anything made from CF

I hear running a down sleeping bag in a dryer with no heat for 5 minutes will help with the loft on a stored bag. I'm on the fence between the OV, the Hyke & Byke version, or the Aegismax. As far as...

I've been looking at these for a little bit now. Just haven't had the guts to buy in yet. What size did you get, and do they fit you?

If the corner is near one of your edge tie-out, I wouldn't sweat it too much since it's near the ground anyway. Yeah, if you want, seal it up good with 100% silicone.
Actually if you dilute the...

Very well done!
You are hooked now. I named my first hammock "Patient Zero" since it was the beginning of a serious affliction.
F.Y.I. after tarps, come quilts!

This was the flyer from this past year. I think they've done it for about 4 years now, and we've been going for 3. It's been growing every year!


On my...

Was there no Tarp involved? It seems like the wind was the biggest issue. I know a low tarp can really help on windy nights.

Hey gang! its been a while since I posted, and now that fall is upon us I figured I start to get back out there.
A couple of weeks ago, one of our local organizations had their annual event. Its a...

I have been waiting on the Forum for something like this to happen since I signed up. And when it finally happens, it happens the one week I can't attend. I love the OT, the first leg it's one of my...

Well, have you looked at "Rip Stop By the Roll" UQ kit? I think at that height, your kid would benefit for a grown up quilt set

This may, or may not help,but, I have a UGQ 3/4 Zepplin...and a 7 year old...and they are a perfect match. She is a bit small for a 7 year old, but not far off of average. I have no idea of the...

Does the Wide Fabric help side sleepers?

I run mine crl back under the tarp. As far as water running in, i run the loose end through the d-rings again on its way back tbrough. That has worked as a water break for me. Ive got a 12' hex with...

Can you hit it against something hard, and de-magnetize it?

Anyone tried to make a pea-pod thing with these yet?

Thank you Dkurfiss for the hyper quick response! I do use google maps and punch in locations, one by one...and it serves me well, its just laborious...and I have put alerts for the sub forums on when...

I was wondering if there would be a way to make an interactive map of all the outings that are up coming. Being where I am in Oklahoma, I am a little more than an hour from Kansas and Arkansas....

Oklahoma's first Costco will open here very very soon. I pre-ordered my membership already and was hoping to see the throw on their website, but either I'm not hitting the right search words, or...

I was at GL on Feb 26 to 28, it was nice. Trails were populated and the boats were out pretty early in the a.m.
There was plenty of room for both nights. They still had some campsites "winterized"...

Well, if its the weekend of the 18th, I'd like to join you all as well. Would the schedule atill be the same with the potluck?

I like it! Do you think you need to add closures at the ends? Or does it stay pretty snug against the hammock?...i use a Navy issue wool blanket kinda in the same way sometimes, but i put it between...

Welcome, from Tulsa! I think theres a group hang in Ar, in the Ozarks sometime in March. Check it out and get some hands on knowledge!

Those walmart panels are okay if you get the Voile type. They are loose enough to let a breeze through, yet still tight enough to keep the critters out. The Sheer type are just too dense for me, and...

Got the Zepplin today! It is in perfect condition, and as described! I am so excited to use my first UQ in the field!!

Thanks again!

Yeah, I've been adulting for a few years now, and am still not used to it.

Funds sent!

I'll take it

the Zeppelin

sorry to hear about your unexpected bill as well.

I was really wondering about the width

What are the dimensions of the zeppelin?

Were you at McGee Creek?!

Are those pieces of hardware along the side for your bridge setup?

Nice job on the triangles! Do they work well? I am in the process of convincing my self its time for a UQ, but have wondered about these thingys. Also, tell me everything about your Aluminum Jig!...

That quilt is spectacular! Any idea of how long it took you? When are you gonna roll out the matching UQ?

I may have skipped a line somewhere, but, i dont think any round cordage that small should be used around any type of tree. Ive been using 8 foot 1" poly straps with a cut fiberglass arrow as a...

DIYGEARSUPPLY.COM has a plan for one. It's a little more invloved than a recrangle, but still very managagable. Although, its plan is to use a few different layers of insulation, it should still be...

Props to original post...im still rocking the peak 1 semi mummy from 1998 and blue pad from wally world

I found some metal pony beads at Michaels. They are the same size as the plastic ones anddont break. So far they have held up through the weather and strain. I was a lttle skeptical at first,...

Okay, this is dead....sorry...but i'm out! We'll try again sometime!

Tell me about it...2 weeks to go, and hardley a peep...I'll keep the weekend open, but, if people aren't anymore interested, I might just call it.

Theres a guy on youtube, RevHiker, im not sure if he's here on HF, but he swears by his SOL bivvy. Hes been using it for almost 2 years. He actually got the Escape Bivvy ($50) and put a mod in it,...

how old is the Flash 45?

This was a great interview! Cant wait for Ep 2!!!

Im not too worried about the sliding, since I've got a double layer hammock. And I'm just looking for a "gap" solution for the Autumn. I will eventually buy/make a UQ.

Your right though. I just...
