In trying to lengthen my hanging season, I am going to attemp to take my current set up http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2526 to below 20deg's- just wondering if anyone has an...

is there a "season"? and if so- what is it? and can you go in off season?

let me know when and I'll see what I can do

My family has a place in Washington- let me know when you head out- black fly season is brutal starting in may sometime-but earlier than that its a beautiful area!!

Thats why I have a second hammock that has nothing attached to it- this is only used for the few winter hangs I've done- hopefully I'll get more time in the colder temps next year!!!

Just curious.......how much would your pack weigh for a full winter weekend trip-with daytime temps at 30+/- and night time temps in the upper teens and no chance of precipitation and calm winds if...

I voted for zero or below- I think-(based on what I'm reading) I could hang with neo!!! I love the cold when I'm sleeping!!!!

Dingus,
After sewing my poncho liner to the bottom of the hammock, I was able to easilly stuff the whole set up(minus the tarp and straps) into the bag that my sleeping bag went onto- I'm going to...

Here is my original post when I first used this set-up

My complete set up for the 28deg night.....(which was a complete overnight- we hiked into a place called Breakneck pond on the CT/MA border- stayed from about 1400 hrs till about 1000 hrs the next...

well in that case I'll take 5

I get to about 40/45 deg's before I use any type of under insulation- for temps from 40 down to 28 I've used the poncho liner alone- I think I will need something else along with the poncho liner...

Ok Ok - I have to admit that the story is slightly ficticious:p - however after having all the problems with my vertically oriented gear driven thread injector(real men dont use sewing machines;) )I...

I believe I just got a catalog in the mail from sportsmans guide or something very similar with all the military liners in it- think there may have even been a sale on some- I'll keep looking for it...

I'm hoping to be able to get out sometime in mid april- dont think I can do anything earlier than that- but will keep everyone posted if I do get out so ya'll know when and where- always nice to meet...

Mahem-
FYI- I believe my wife told me that sometimes (for lighter smaller items) first class postage is cheaper than parcel post- I have a hard time understanding this but it is the Post Office!! ...

unfortunately I'm out of the loop for a while- I have atleast 6 weeks left of recovery time for an ankle injury that required surgery- Although I am in a walking type brace- I'm not sure workmans...

I would add a piece into the arm pit area instead of sewing the opening shut- If the opening is sewed shut I think it would greatly reduce the range of motion without pulling on the rest of the liner

I think the field jacket liner is made of the same material the poncho liner is made of- and I've used a poncho liner as my underquilt for the last two cold weather trips- made it down to about 28...

I'm in northeast CT-always trying to get out more than I do!!!

Having many of the same issues:confused: , I set off to the basement to put all of these suggestions to good use- I started by consuming several of my most prized home brews-A holiday ale high in...

Traviso,
Thanks for asking all the questions I needed answers to- I started sewing a few weeks ago with intentions of putting a pack together in no time-(I forgot how long ago 7th grade home...

Merry Christmas to all and a very Happy and healthy new year-
Thanks for all the info and help that is shared by all!!

What does DWR look like and weigh? does it have a shiny(coated) side and have the ripstop pattern in it?-It does look like it would make pretty good pack material-but I dont know what to call this...

I've done a few DIY projects here and there- and just used what ever thread I could find in the old sewing kit- now I plan on starting a couple other decent projects and was wondering-Does thread...

I can definately see that one side is coated- I also cant seem to blow air through it-and the idea of doing a pack has crossed my mind-I'll have to start looking for fairly simple plans and see how...

OK- started the stuff I have most of on fire in the basement- it turned into flaming droplets of black plastic and stunk up the house- guessing that makes it polyester????
the other stuff I have is...

is that stuff woven like rip stop? with the little squares? I think I have a bunch of it in dark green and pale light green- I guess I'll make hammocks out of it- it doesnt seem like it would breath...

I have a bunch of fabric from wal-mart- I told everyone I know that if they saw sil-nyl there to pick it up for me- now I have at least three or four different types of nylon- how can I be sure what...

I understand that air pockets are not my friend, but if my understanding is correct- I also dont want to compress the quilt-true?- I like the ideas- I think I'll load the hammock-trim one end to fit...

I'm using a skeeter beater hammock with military wet weather poncho liner sewed to the bottom as an under quilt- so far I have been fairly comfortable down to about 24 deg's- when I sewed the poncho...

going into my third year now- and wishing i started much sooner as well!!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy hanging to all in the forum

With my everyday life being what it is- I look foward to an early night in the hammock- I get more rest there than at home. The fire is always nice, and my flask of cognac helps pass some of the time...

its a nylon shell with some type of polyester batting inside- dont know the weight now that it is attached to the hammock(but it seems minimul to me-I'm not into counting grams)- its a regular gi...

Hi all
havent posted in a while and thought I'd drop my $.02
spent a night out in the cold with my skeeter beater hammock- got down to 24 degrees and I was toasty warm-
I took a military poncho...

DWR??:confused: hey guys- I'm new to all these acronyms and abbreviations- its starting to sound like a government conspiracy novel.............
here are a couple of photos of the fabric I do have-...

the piece I have which appears to be uncoated is 11 yds long, and 48 inches wide(sound right so far?) the total weight on the entire piece is 17.5 oz's- and if my math is correct- that equates out to...

I think Santa Clause crashed into my house- and left alot of fabric behind!!!!!!!:)
Can anyone give a break down on which weight fabric to use on each project- I have a bunch of silnyl in two...

Last year I got my son into a hammock (he's 12). He was the first in his B.S. troop to be hangin'.....this year we took a handfull of the boys on a trip up the AT-(shortened due to some heat...

I'm not sure if its a newer one or older one- I'm inclined to believe its newer only because all the stuff I was ever issued was olive drab in color- this one has the sporty woodland camoflauge...

a couple weeks ago, I went on a quick overnighter with my son and his boyscout troop- I use a sportsmans guide hammock with military poncho liner as an underquilt(inverting the hammock and putting...
