Ok maybe I will. Thanks.
Well after allot of fiddleing around I have confirmed that even the seemingly lightest addition of insulation between the hammock amd the uq will cause sagging and gaps. Even a neoair while not...

you dont need to spend allot for an underquilt. depending on where you live and your camping season preferences, you can run a Poncho Liner Underquilt on your hammock for apx 40 bucks. It...
Has any one tried this hammock yet? I am wondering how it compairs with the nano 7.
I just got one of the guide gear tarps I ordered. one that is fantasticly smaller than I judged. I was thinking of sending it back but it might make a nice little diamond tarp. the wierd thing was....
I have a love hate relationship with ENO but something like this is hard to mess up. I haven't used one but I put my hands on one at the store. Material seams fine I'm sure it will fit most pads and...
sorry he is the man behind Outdoor Equipment Supplier. He makes the best cat cut tarps out there and he was out of business until very recently. when I decided to upgrade to a silnylon tarp his was...
you know the more I look at it the more I want to save up for one of Brian's tarps now that he is back in business.
what do you mean reinforce the tie outs? sew them on tighter or just pitch them tighter. I would expect to have to seam seal it. suck on them btw.
Oh I did not know that. I just bought an 8x8 tarp? I'm pissed.
What is this whole thing about getting a 16x16 gear guide so that you can have a 12x12? What debacle? Because of the non taped seams? I'm assuming that you will seam seal the guide gear. How does non...

We may not beable to address the original poster (thanks dor that observation) but I found this thread inquiring about the pronest and in looking up the specs and commenting and reading others posts...
Ok well looking at the stats the Pronest, at first glance, seems to be what feels like a frequent trend for ENO of giving you something you don't need in exchange for something you do need.
The...
For a review of a similar hammock in the class of weight over comfort, Darek Hansen has a review and field test on the nano 7 on backpackgeartest. Should give you a good idea what your dealing with...
It seems that the pronest is ENO's answer to the Nano 7. I haven't put the measurements back to back but I bet they are close to the same thing. The Nano 7 had the same attachment points biners...
That caviat aside. Go with the grand trunk you'll have fun and later on if you want to upgrade your hammock you'll have one for the wife or the kid. Put a pad in it put up the poly tarp you already...
I don't think this is the situation but just in case you care more about weight than just being enamored with comfort like the rest of us, ultimately hammocking is not the lightest way to roll. And...
If your still looking for a large square tarp the guidegears and the keltys will square you away, but if you want it in silnylon the easyest thing I found was Owere tarps. They make ground dwelling...
why are the triloops better? besides being very pretty?
Nice vid man
Im thinking of a tadpole my self
I really like the one I have but its too small to hang over a hammock I am wondering if there are bigger ones ( I saw much newer ones than mine at the surplus yesterday) or if there was a trick to...
Has any one rigged a millitary poncho as a tarp for a hammock? I know its too small all on its own but you could rig it with something else perhapse? I dont know. just curious if any one else out...
I have an rei travel sack. I live in texas and I use mine allot all year long. Its allot like a poncho liner with zippers makes a good light bag, a good top quilt because the zipper runs allthe way...
I would like one I think.
Izula is the name of the knife.
I think I can cover it with one winter tarp but that is a cool idea to shingle them in porch mode to get more coverage, Nice.
There are tons of junipers and ceader trees where I live trees are really close together so that's not so much of an issue. I'm more interested in what peoples chices might be if you had the...
If you were to choose a tarp for a group of hammocks to all hang under wich tarp or tarps would you choose?
Maybe some of y'all have more experience with itbut I'm wanting to hang two or three...
what is a PL underquilt. I know IX is insultex.
I dont know about the drink holder, got any Ideas? I was thinking I could make a backpack from the arms and the body of the chair, but I dont need a backpack.
In the past I had used loosish prusiks and slid them back and forth. This seems like a slightly heavier and more complex set up but I LIKE that kind of luxury. To me cutting weight is only worth...
@Olddog
Do you mean something like this without the hardware?

Just trying to keep it interesting. I intended not to let the parts of the chair go to waste.
I was surprised that the first thing I thought to do with the broken chair was make a ridgeline...

Oh that's interesting.
Sounds like in any rate I can use it to augment the insulation I already do have with no problem. How well does the stuff compress? Just enough to be compressed while also making you wish you could...
Thanks allot it does help.
Yea it was really weird. The thread was gone and I guess I just started asking about it while the moderators were in the process of moving it to a different section. It was just gone for a bit and...
oh ok thanks :)
I had a thread going about mini lanterns and it disappeared and I dont know why. I hope I didn't unknowingly break a rule or something. why would my thread go away?
I have been camping in texas for years and have seen a lot of places that are good for hammocking thanks for the confirmation and advice I welcome hearing about any more experiences and gems. Mostly...
How effective is a single layer of Insulex? also is the stuff so fuzzy that you absolutely must sew some kind of liner on the outside of it? Im wondering if I can just task a big hunk of it for...
I havent but it might be easyer than you think. on Bushcraft forms someone did it with a poncholiner.

Thanks for the info and the warnings guys. I'm intrigued by the insultex seems like a cool way to beef up your insulation system really cheap.
Can any one direct me to any potential hangs or trips in central texas?
Nah I don't like the removable doors I wanna use the superfly as a big rectangular tarp for going to ground as well as for hammock. That and I also have interest in winging the doors out for...
