Although I still keep the Switchback 1.9 in my equipment list, in truth, I lost it to my 21 y.o. son. He won't part with it. It's a "rent to own" deal at the moment...lol

I've helped some of my family members sleep better by stringing up some tarred twine around their sleep areas. From this I strung the pots, cups and utencils in a way they would make noise if the...
Returning my BMBH UL for refund was the hardest outdoor transaction I had ever done. Not because of difficulty of communicating or shipping, quite the contrary, just because the Jacks made it so...
It sure does look that way to me.
Sounds like the cold front you were expecting came. Gets real windy then.
At the "Buy Now" applet there is no product or pricing. It only says "Te-Wa is resting".
I tend to want to blend. I think it stems from needing to use army surplus stuff when younger. It's all dad could afford. Not camo though. Lots of greens and browns.
I'm impressed by black in the...
I see no buyers dispute here. No "I'll Take It" so to speak. So there is no dispute.
The seller listed it Sold (even though there is no "I'll Take It") but also listed it as no longer available....
And I thought I was being ingenious using those loops and hooks this way on my Switchback....:laugh: Like Pan said, those quilts stay put.
The Switchback. It's second only to the RR for comfort...
One on one of the last open spots on the safe door. One on my kid's helmet. One covering a scratch on the tailgate.
My wife calls me Linus because I won't go anywhere overnight without my Prodigy X 40F quilt.
She gets to sleep with the Marmot Hydrogen now.... I'm OK with that. I am not a hotdog....:laugh:
I've got two of EE's quilts. A Prodigy X 40F for three seasons and a recent Rev X 20F with 2 oz. overstuff. Couple things that I find attractive.
EE only charges $5 dollars per oz, for overstuff....
Need to back out. Sorry, having funding issues.
Backed out of sale.
I don't really use wool blankets with the hammocks. I use wool blankets when I'm ground dwelling in the open sky or in lean-to mode with a fire close-by though.
For those moments when I'm feeling...
Funds and PM sent.... :cool:
If it has the J type straps I'll take it.
I have one coming in on Monday but know someone else looking for one. Is this the latest revision with the fabric side pockets?
I'm in for sure!
What is this justify that you speak of?...:lol:
I just figured like this. The area of the Winter Palace is 18144/sq in. and it costed $439. It would take 1134 dollar bills and a load of tape to...
This rocks! What a great cause. Congrats!
Got me a Camo Palace. Now you see me, now you don't...:cool:
I too love my new Switchback 1.9 Classic. Slept like a dream at 4100' this weekend. This rig is sweet. Thanks for the posts on this hammock. Without the posts I'd never have found it.
A bit...
I had 2 12'ers, sold 1, and never had a problem. It's just weighty for backpacking. Don't believe it is rip stop either but I could be wrong on that. If you need to go-to-ground it wont be beat...
Not sure why Tim doesn't get more love here. I can only think it has to do with the zippered foot box in a hammock thing. Mine is no issue and I see this as myth.
My 40F ProdigyX long wide has...
Never needed to have a pillow with stuff sacks and clothes but I used this one that Jacks R Better supplied gratis with my BMBH-UL last night and think I'll continue to use it in the warmer months....
Sorry to hear of your loss.
Scary fast is right! Ordered a Bear Mountain Bridge UL on Thursday. It's coming today, Saturday. They said it would be Monday. Seems to be a worm hole or sumthin'....:cool:
Sales don't usually affect my purchasing decision. If I happen to have enough money, fine. If not then I'll wait instead of going into debt over it. I haven't bought one piece of hammock gear purely...
Great convincing reviews on this line of hammocks. I was so convinced that I went to order a netted 1.9 SL. It wouldn't let me because there are no brown ones available. So, I will have to wait I...
I'd like to hear more as well.
Bears enjoy waterfront property just like that. Now you know where to find them.
Thanks GPLG! That was a great post as well...
Fiveonomo...I like that handle, ex-officer?.....I ran into the same thing with my bug net model. I tend to sleep in motion and that is part of the...
Agreed. It's just real hard to see from the angles sometimes too. And something that looks comfy or rugged feels or looks different in person.
Lucky for us most of the cottage vendors have...
I can only tell you that there is a large amount of tarp in the MJ. My BB is dwarfed by it. Though if set up wrong or in a wrong direction in a wet and windy storm it could cause trouble for sure no...
Good luck on your attempt! I'm jealous in an admirable way.
I guess wind driven rain can go vertical and splash can happen in odd ways but the MJ is huge. I think these guys and gals in the know...
Well, be sure to take a break. Or that is the point isn't it?...:shades:
I really need to rig up something like this outside in the yard. Testing out hammocks in the basement is too dang...
I must say that this is the perfect application of this hammock. Nice pic!
My nephew is just loving this thing. Lot's of smiles for little dough.
You are very welcome! I only wish I had a better camera and more pics. This week we have a four nighter in the NH wilderness. We will be sure to take more of the gear this time.
The detail on this...
While you are waiting, pick up some Amsteel and make lots of cool stuff. It's like knitting used to be for expectant ladies but makes you pound your chest like Tarzan when you're done.
I have more...
Thanks Desmobob and Hutzelbein for your responses. I did front and rear the with thinned Silicon II way. Did the rear multiple coats. The webbing absorbed the mixture like a sponge and dried so that...
Yes you will need more ridgeline than is supplied.
From what I see the ridgeline will work best on wider trees to keep the net spread out proper. But, if you are hanging from poles or narrow...
I must be lucky. I've not had any of these problems. Have set it up several times not paying much attention to angles and tension. Maybe some just sleep easier than others do to begin with.
...
I've been using mine a couple nights now. The thing that struck me the most was the high density of the fill. I've had a few high cost 30f down sleeping bags and they don't even come close to the...
Got my bug net version in today. It lays exactly like the Byers Amazona Moskito for me surprisingly. To get comfortable I need to put my head up on the bug net. It seems real stretchy too. But I...
Yes, it's funny. We usually take pics of the trip. Like the hills, the views, the critters, ourselves with the views but never seem to get many of the gear. Probably because the gear goes home with...
Well, maybe so. But I think the post I responded to referenced the fill quality difference between the store and the web ones. Speaking for myself I would have given the extra 5 dollars if I was...
Thanks! Could be the store one's are all picked over. Was planning a full length DIY UQ with this.
Sold. Thanks for looking!
The Trail Lair was a brief viewing. It was "in the works" so to speak. Wish I had saved the pics. Now, I'm off to do two things: Go view the Biker Bliss and Hide my Card. Not in that order...
