Please yes, include me. Thanks so much for your generosity.

Second those Northern NJ greetings!

Thanks again for the opportunity to participate. A wonderful holiday to you and yours, followed by a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.

I'm in. Thanks so much!

Congratulations and many years of happy hanging to you. FWIW, I'm 6'0", and 200 lbs., sort of between you and your cousin. Understood, regarding the bit of extra gear weight, but I opted for the...

I am very happy with my NX-250. For me it's a versatile comprehensive and bullet proof piece of kit. Insofar as the poles, I find one at the head end sufficient, and though I normally use both, the...

Proper sag is key with the NX-250, or the zippers will indeed be stressed. That said, I find the lay to be surprisingly and comfortably flat, even preferring as I do to sleep on my side. Insofar as...

Congratulations to the winners, thanks again to Canteen Boy for the generosity, and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

Please, yes. Thanks!

I've had no issues with the poles, finding them light/slim, and durable thus far. If they happen to break or you loose them, a stick could be made to suffice. Truthfully, I find I can do without the...

Have you considered the Clark jungle hammocks? Integrated bug netting and storm shield. Mosquito-proof body fabric (which I can personally vouch for). I have an NX-250 with their large vertex tarp...

I’ve been thinking about this (perhaps far too much), and have resigned myself to the assumption that I will need to forego the 3/4" <gasp!> Kammok Pythons that I so favor, for a “greener” (i.e....

I purchased a Nemo Fillo two years ago, and it has been for me the ne plus ultra of comfort. I ended up having to purchase another one last month, because my son borrowed my original and I've been...

The UQ as spec'ed above weighs about 29 oz. in its included stuff sack -- appx. 12" tall and 20" around. The UQP weighs about 8 oz. in its included stuff sack appx. -- 6" tall and 10" around.

I...

After much research here on HF and elsewhere, and careful consideration of the numerous under-quilt/UQ options available, in light of my personal needs and preferences I opted to go with an...

I’m committing scoutmaster heresy, but I long ago abandoned the taut-line hitch for what I find to be the superior adjustable-grip hitch.

I use three loops before the finishing “half-hitch” when...

I'd like to suggest a Boa Knot. Very secure, and very difficult to untie, which sounds like what you might be looking for.

I have a Clark NX-250 hammock, and initially used its stock ropes and added drip rings to suspend it, always attaching the ropes to tree-straps to protect the bark. Worked fine.

I have since...

"I'm in"

Thanks so much for your very kind gesture.

I may be the closest NX-250 owner of the group... north Jersey x160. A few minutes from the GSP, and I think about an hour from Red Bank.

My complete stand of dry pressure treated 2x4s weighs 62 pounds. The only variation in mine from the original design is that I retrofitted both of my uprights with extended 7'6" from the originally...

Not sure, but I'd like to suggest searching for a post on HF titled "Shear force for 2x4" (include the quotes in your search) for some elucidating information. Sorry that I can't be of more help. ...

Completed retrofit of uprights, extending them to 7'6", in the hope of better accommodating my Clark NX-250. The resulting span is approximately 15', and the height approximately 6'. I'm much...

Regarding the outriggers, the original design feels very stable to me, and I suppose one would really need to be rocking pretty aggressively to cause the stand to tip over. But if your space allows,...

Built this stand and tried it out last night with a Clark NX-250. It's a really nice stand and a very clever folding design. Looks good too with a coat of Thompson's Water Seal on pressure-treat...

Thanks!

Wow, thank you all for your very gracious welcome and hospitality, and again for the wealth of information and experience you take the time to share. I'm knocked out to learn how many hangers there...

Hammock Peace.

Latin. Sorta.

Having lurked and learned on HF for about 9 months, read The Ultimate Hang, pored over several HF members' comprehensive websites, and tried out a number of different hammocks... I made the move on...

Is there a difference in fabric strength/durability between the Polyester versus the Crinkle Taffeta 60x126 retangular tablecloths?

I'll certainly check with the manufacturer (and will share...
