It's not exactly what you spec'd, but I like 18650 batteries and use the Nitecore F1, and it will recharge an 18650 or 16340, charge-through to a USB device while charging the battery, charge a USB...

Drill through. When you do this, you are placing the weight on the washer, which can be pretty big. When you use a screw-in, you are resting on the threads, which can pull out.

Also, with a...

With a bigger triangle, you can use longer suspension lines from the tree and rigging line, allowing you to hang a tarp above you. You'll have to pull the lower left corner out farther, which...

I can't help myself: Nice rack!

For stakes, the Alamosa Anchor by RaftingTigger seems like the start of a good idea: http://www.tiggzcraftworkz.com/product-page/alamosa-anchors-pair

As designed, I'm not sure those would work...

Also, d-limonene and zinc-l-carnosine fixed my heartburn permanently.

In many locations, where there are three trees suitable for sharing, if the short side of that triangle is small enough (or is a big tree like we have), other options open up. You can combine the...

Wow, the work on that UQ is beautiful. I'll be searching your past posts for the details. Found it. :)

Paul, you are not only a master of the art of customer service: you also possess an unflappable mastery of the facts surrounding your products. Outstanding!

I'm pretty sure that discontinuing my Prime membership will impact the cardboard box manufacturers' stock prices.

I'll take it:

The 40 degree is a 950GD Full length and 44in width Zeppelin with +1 ounce of over stuff with the 3/32 suspension. Olive Yellow M10 outside and Coyote Brown M10 inside. Just priced...

Because of this year's amazing snowfall, May is a complete unknown right now. The Sierra Nevada mountains have received huge amounts of snow, and in May it will be melting. Much of that water...

I doubt 48" would cover both, but it depends on your sleeping position. If you're serious about this, I recommend getting positioned in the hammock, and have someone use a cheap blanket to begin...

Thank you for posting this. I have been waiting for this to appear on woot again! These are great for car camping. I'm getting a 16 for the dining area and a 12 for side-by-side hanging.

I just googled a "me-sack" and came up empty before coming back and realizing you posted this. Yes, I feel silly.

That was just about as cute as kittens mittens. I can't wait to get my girl out into the woods.

For that matter, seamstress also seems to work just fine.

Good luck, man! None of it is hard work, and there are countless videos in the DIY section and/or YouTube to help you out.

You bet! Glad the nuggets of info rolling around my brain could be shared.

Life on a ship during the Age of Sail was rough. The crewmen were cold when it was cold out, and stewed when it was hot. What we call CBS is what they called bedtime. In addition to a blanket, they'd...

I'm sure you've already noticed that backpacking gear, which includes hammocks and tarps, exists on a spectrum. On one end we have heavy and inexpensive, and on the other, we have light and...

When it comes to suspension, "better" is a loaded word. For some folks who want the lightest possible setup, better means lighter. For other folks who want simplicity, better has a completely...

From the images I could see on Amazon, it looks like this hammock has a channel sewn into the end. Were I in your shoes, I'd order a couple of continuous loops from Dutchware and thread those through...

Given that the one failure noted here, it should be sufficient to seal your seams using some McNett.

A long dog bone would do the trick, and avoid having long tails when you get small trees close together.

Also within driving distance is Castle Rock State Park, and Big Basin Redwoods State Park. It's beautiful around there. I should know, since my Scout Troop camped there dozens of times.

Big Basin...

I can see how that would be a poor choice for production.

As an aside, I love my Hanger and can't wait to get some hang time under it. UGQ has done some top quality work here, and I'm so grateful...

Thanks for the warning. Right now, it is paired with the remaining ring.

Hopefully the milligram shavers will see this, too.

Neither did I, until I was searching for small split rings on Amazon!

Anyone who replicates my foolishness wants the 12mm size.

Looks like an easy process. Paul doesn't seem like a wilting violet, so I feel like I'm missing something. Can't wait to see what. [emoji2]

Yes, you want to tie to both of them. I missed one and broke the single ring. I have replaced it with a titanium ring, because more titanium is more better 😂

Do you have a video or instructional link for this? I've only seen short text bits and I'd prefer to do less experimenting with the process if others have one that works.

I went snow camping there many years ago. It was beautiful and cold then, too. I was on the ground, and look forward to driving out there again some winter.

Thank you for reminding me.

I had much the same goal. I prefer not to have the glossy stripe and powder. Putting in the extra work of mixing seems like a worthy trade. If I find it that onerous, I won't have the doubts when I...

Paul, when you describe the mixing as a hassle, how bad was the process?

Look into Dutch Hook Worms. The simple hitch can be removed with a tug, so you're never fiddling with a small knot. The video on his site shows exactly how this works.

The times I have done that, snow camping on the ground, it was warm for about 6 hours. That's when I got up to answer nature's call. I could have made the water hotter and used a liner sock to extend...

If you're handy, build a stand. If not, but you have the budget, buy a Tato stand from Dutch. If neither, buy eight poles and a lot of 3/8" or 1/4" sisal cordage, and get busy wrapping and frapping...

It seems like a good first bridge hammock for those who are unaware of the other options available. Think of a potential hanger who is tired of waking up sore but is turned off by their...

And having the windings in the middle tends to keep the buckle balanced so that it doesn't tilt and shift all the weight to one corner.

That's pretty nifty!

When I looked, I read "...our unique double split ring "ZERO STRESS" tie outs...", which I think refers to them being easy to attach to the ridgeline and guylines.

Nice video, and I'm glad I watched it. I'm feeling silly because I was in a hurry when I got my CRL, and setting up way too late at the campsite. I didn't think to wonder why the knots were at the...

I'll take the NightOwl. PM Sent.

Underground Quilts is already doing their Black Four Weeks! I just put my order in for a Flight Jacket yesterday.

I'll take it.

If you want the brummel to lock, this video illustrates this using an eye splice with only one end of the rope available.
