I have this same unit, and wanted to put in another positive testimonial for this machine. If you want to dehydrate your own camp food, this is the way to go. Yours is in much better condition than...

Here is a blog from a gentleman who I hosted at my house via warmshowers.org in the fall of last year.

He started out in New Jersey, and rode across the...

I used my Traveler Sock this last week in the mountains outside Mammoth Lakes, CA. There was a breeze, and I used a Molly Mac Shamu with a Go-lite 1-season bag down to 25 degrees. Both the sleeping...

I have a cross bike that I use for road touring and bikepacking. Of those two bikes listed, I think you would have the most fun touring on the Cannondale because it has a triple crank. In order to...

Looks like a great trip. Bicycles and hammocks go well together. Thanks for sharing. :cool:

You think her skins are well-made, you should have her make you a hat. She made me this amazing black wool hat last year, and it's so nice I am afraid to wear it into the woods. It's my "town" hat....

This is how it seems on my tarp. There were areas of the tarp, far from any seams, which had become saturated in that specific area. Three inches left of this area, it was fine and the fabric was...

Turns out if you put lipstick on a pig, you still have yourself a pig...

I wanted this tarp to be...

Another +1 on the golite 1+season. $100, and the thing is sweet.

Just roll over and let it all hang out. If you are planning to stay in the same spot multiple nights, a bottle is nice, but not necessary. It is possible to vomit and urinate from a hammock, and...

I live in the Sierra Nevada mountains and summer temps will packbacking at altitude can drop into the upper 20's. I started out with a 0 degree underquilt and used that for a year in temperatures...

Here is the sack I made. In this picture it has a zero degree incubator and a 25 degree WM Alder. It compresses further with this set up, and with the 20 degree incubator and 1+ season golite quilt...

I have not washed any of my outdoor adventure clothing. Most of it is merino wool and nylon and gets washed once a month...if that. This is why I am not too concerned about the aqueous base either....

I bought some of the Bondide a few weeks ago, treated some clothes and have had my first real use of it-works great so far. The aqueous base is the x factor. One one hand, that is why I wanted to...

I was on the fence on this one too, but picked up the 1+ season. I live in Tahoe, just above you, and tested it out last night. We had a low of about 25, and I slept with the Go lite 1+ and a 0...

Last night I did a little mix and match testing in the backyard- A 0 degree Incubator with a 1+ season Go-lite quilt purchased from the recent sale. It was 25 degrees when I woke up at 5:30am, and...

Glad you figured it out. This is pretty much always what causes uncomfortableness for me. If it's loose, it's dreamy. I find that a really loose ridge line and diagonal lay alleviates any lower...

Mine came almost the instant I hit enter on the review...

If you write a review, you instantly get a coupon. :)

1. Functionality/versatility-It has to do what it is suppose to do.
2. Durability-If it breaks on the first trip...I want my money back!!! ;)
3. Weight-When I am not on my moto, weight matters. It...

Underquilt for sure. As has been said-lots of things work for a TQ, a UQ is pretty specific gear and oh so nice. YMMV.

The hammock sock saved my bacon on a recent week long trip to Death Valley. We camped at 7000 feet, as that's where the trees are in Death Valley. The winds were fierce and the first night I froze...

I tried to go the Guide Gear route, and ended up with a couple of the 12x12 (9x9) tarps from the recent purchase wave. After receiving them I realized the new G.G tarps are probably not going to be...

I was planning on putting up a pattern for this once I make a couple more of them this week. The prototype I made last year has held up so well, that I have yet to make another, but now that I have...

I have made a custom bishop bag that allows me to keep underquilt attached, top quilt in the hammock, and the whole thing stuffs in the bag. I have compression straps attached so the whole thing...

Great report. My parents live in this area, and I'd love to get some more info. Thanks for sharing the pictures, very enjoyable. PM sent.

Hilarious...I would have the same problem if I wasn't in denial. I have made a promise to myself to stop buying gear and start making it. This way I acquire it slower, and therefore it won't seem...

I have used the Gossamer Gear 1/4 inch pad with great success in a WBBB. The pad fits very well, is supple and comfortable, and does not move at all. Once or twice I had some condensation, but that...

I am keeping the tarps I got as well. With coupons, complaining, etc, I ended up paying $11 a tarp shipped. I am going to use them as practice for learning how to cat cut a tarp, and add some...

Anyone find out if these things are actually waterproof yet? Hanging on to two of them, as if they do in fact repel water, this will be a sweet mod for a cheapie hex cut tarp. I live in California,...

Here she is, just picked her up today from a retired fellow who restores old injectors. I can't believe how clean this thing is. He spent hours pulling parts, polishing, and replacing anything that...

Call them now and get the ball rolling. You do not need the tarp in hand to start the return process and secure the larger tarp! :D

Just got off the phone with SG. I am traveling for business, but my 2 "12x12" (8.5x8.5) tarps are probably at my home already. None the less, secured a return label for free shipping back and...

Being full sized, I will have to wait for the XXL t-shirts, but I am in for a sock.
My question is how will the sock work with the tie outs for the BB? Will there be exit portals for the tie outs...

I have a winter incubator that works very well with the WBBB. If you are going to be in the rain, I would consider the edge. I have the asym-diamond, and love it for summer hiking in California...

Very worthwhile skill to develop if you camp when it's cold. 30's and lower, I am not getting up in the middle of the night; the cold wakes me up instantly, like coffee. This is also one of the many...

I have tried a couple of pillow options, and found that a small, real pillow case left in the hammock and stuffed with a down sweater or whatever I have brought as upper body insulation works well. ...

That is great that you are taking your son bike camping and hammocking. Sounds like you are laying the foundation for a top notch citizen. :)

Here are a couple of pics from my trip this week. I think I will be able to make 3 day trips with this load; I was very happy with how it pedaled up hill and the hammock sure makes the camp part of...

Eric indeed made the bag. I sent a deposit in November, and got my bag in March, although I delayed sending him the tracing, so that increased lag time a bunch. Revelate has been getting a bit of...

Thanks MM, I have a borderline unhealthy obsession with that bike. I have looked at the NeoAir, but I have a collection of air sleeping pads (BA, Thermarest, etc) that all have slow leaks in them,...

Bicycle touring is what originally led me to hammocking and this site. I really like the combo when I know there will be a place to hang. Slightly worried how it is going to work if I have to bring...

Ok, so I am still sorting out my kit for hammocking, and over the President's weekend I camped out in my backyard. Snowed about a foot, and temperatures were in the low to mid 20's. I used a 25...
