Still for sale bump

Hello,
I've got a few items that I'd like to sell to reduce my gear clutter and to get these items some use.

First is a Wilderness logics 11' ridgeling Tadpole tarp. I've set the tarp up but...

What about tarps? How different do you treat a CF tarp then a silnylon ?

This is my greatest fear when I'm living on the trail. They didn't steal your stuff they stole your home. Sorry to hear

I'd rather pay for a CF tarp then the full tent made of CF. I love my hammock for the sleep quality and the ability to make the set-up uniquely mine. I don't recall anyone just changing out a tent...

Tact is the problem with me. I know how I'd like to be spoken to and I've had plenty of experiences being instructed and given instructions but something about stupidity (my own included) brings out...

All great advice. I've slept in beds all my life and still can't get to sleep. I use a HH backpacker and I think it is a little short for me but I've gotten used to it and sleep better then I ever...

I have nothing but great things to say about [email protected]. I had them fix and modify my HH. Good luck

I'll layout my raincoat and stuff what ever I have under my feet--usually my butt pad

best way to know that you learned something is in how well you can share it with others. Keep spreading the hammock lore

last year on the AT I ran into a guy in NH who rolled over in his tent (I know not hammock related but again the fight with gravity) to have a drink and a branch crashed through where he had been...

2qzq repaired my hammock and I purchased one of there peak bags for my HH the only problem is when it's on the foot end it falls through the bottom entrance. The HH came with a ridge line organizer...

sounds silly but I do a something like the teddy bear tuck with my pillow and top quilt--I think--if you see something different please don't wake me up an tell me

I ditched the deet--saw it melt my dads watch. Personally I use white mountain bug repellent, eat lots of garlic, long sleeves/pants, and never hike smelling perfumy

Nice! way to go getting the youngsters involved

I've done the long trail and Killington to Katahdin with the stock HH tarp. It worked but I had to set everything just right. I've now bought a HG cf tarp without doors to finish the rest of the...

Very doable. I used a therm a rest pad because I know I would go to ground because some of the shelters (once off the AT) are nice, some like cabins

I like hanging my pack from the hammock suspension because I've been in places where critters have gone under my hammock. I switched from a thermarest pad to a 20 hammock gear under quilt in...

nice work cheaper and clever to use what you got rather than bought

My biggest fear is to feel the pain of a falling hammock. Glad to hear no serious injury. Play safe

I've always been concerned with using my straps like the picture on Jacks are better--always felt that under the right (wrong) conditions the strap could lose friction and slide down the tree.

At first I thought of going they way you are researching but went to a set up very similar to the Dutch hook but with a carbineer on the CL on the hammock instead of the hook so that I can attach to...

Couldn't think of anything better to be hung up on.

I don't carry my under quilt for those temps but I do carry my lightest weight sleeping pad because I am a cold sleeper

I think I have to google something every time on this site--I now know what a Zimmerbuilt Quickstep is and what a becket hitch is....tied it for years namelessly Thanks for the education

Have always put the whole set-up in the stretch pocket on the outside of my pack--thinking a mesh snake skin could help the tarp dry some while I hike. I've been very pleased with hammock gear

Enjoy. Keep things fun. The trail is full of ups and downs. Thru hikers talk about pack weight a lot. My thoughts have been if I don't use it daily, it just may not be worth carrying but the truth...

So what do you do when it seems like you're in a cloud and the moisture is getting under the tarp and wetting everything?

Well I've only had my whoopies for a week I hope they don't bread any discontent.

I hiked from Killington, Vt and Katahdin finishing the last day of September. I switched from a pro lite pad to a HG 20 under quilt in Franconia Notch. Had a great time and at a few sites hammocks...

I wonder how this compares to Hammock gear stuff in the field because the WM quilt has 8 oz of fill while the HG 20 degree has 12 oz of fill--the HG 40 degree has 7 oz of fill (standard size).

But I also can't say a bad word about whoopies. They're fun to make, fun to use, and very reliable. I still use them at home pretty frequently. I only removed them from my pack because the variety of...

I always seem to sleep in a fog when I'm near a river.

That's my thought. I'm currently thinking I'll go with tree strap with adutchable clip with the whoopie on the loop of the strap, carabineer, and a continuous loop on the hammock. That way if I need...

Just bought one from them--nice customer service and very fast turn over for a small build to order company.

Tinnitus drives me mad. Glad to hear I'm not alone! I've grown better at dealing with it. I'll take my ear ring over snoring any day. Ear plugs just seem to amplifies the ringing for me.

Yup, agree on both fronts. I used to be a novelty and I'd get a lot of questions about hammocks--last fall on the AT there were times that hammocks out numbered tenters. Like anything good eventually...

I've use a prolite (R2.2) down to 35. It worked but I was on an island and if any part came off the pad instant cold. I did shove extra gear and clothes around the sides. Part of the problem with the...

Saw this today. I've use quilts and pads and I've always managed to find a hang but on long distance hikes sometimes I like to sleep in a shelter to avoid wet set up and wet tear down. I love my...

Price isn't as bad as I thought--I love my mf Apache 15 but is that enough to sway me from buying a cottage industry like Hammockgear.com?

Often thought of the Kink's song sunny afternoon with napping in the hammock--nothing like a new verse

Consistency is key. Random or non rhythmic sounds kill my sleep. I've had a ringing in my ear for years and I've found the best cure is to be so tired that nothing matters. Going through Maine on the...

Who wants to lay on the ground? there's better perspectives!

Hiked the Long trail in 2015 (finished mid October) and the A.T. from Killington to Katahdin this past August/Sept both hikes I used a Hennessy backpacker with stock suspension and tarp. I plan to...
