Just ordered a 1.9 DL SWB full kit with tarp! Excited to try something new, wasn't ready to give up on gathered ends yet.
Ok I have also struggled with this problem, and tried looser, tighter, shock cord over the ridgeline. The shock cord works but makes getting in and out very difficult. Tried a new system this...
I attached a shock cord with a cord lock to each door corner, with a small plastic s biner on the other end. Most of the time I keep the door on the same side fastened to each other inside the tarp,...
I have the same hammock and the same problem. One day I noticed a WB video, where the foot was WAY higher than the head. Now when I set up, I reach as high on the tree as I can on the foot end, and...
I have one of these as well. I used pins with ring locks instead of the bolts and I can break it down into 4 foot sections in about a minute.
I am definitely making some of these PVC extensions.
The ongoing debate between my mind and my body as to how old I actually am was partially resolved this weekend on a whitewater canoe trip. After the river finished playing pinball with me on the...
I am thinking I can get an adjustable ridgeline, pass each end through the metal hoops on the uprights, larks head onto the hammock gather, and shorten the ridgeline until each end of the hammock is...
So I went to IKEA today and brought one home. Used 3/16 x 2 3/4 wire lock pins instead of bolts for the non-feet connections. Hung my ENO dbl and it worked fine. Hung my WBBB with biners through the...
I have also struggled with calf ridge in my WBBB, to the point I started shopping again. While looking at the XLC video, I noticed Brandon hung the foot end REALLY HIGH. Probably about a foot above...
Ordered a set last night myself. She made them last night put them in the mail this morning. Awesome
I keep reading threads like this and it makes me want to buy a Hennessy hammock just so I can have it modded
Ordered a top quilt because I've been so impressed with my New River!
Also somehow managed to order a pair of 6 inch tree straps. Paul, look for an email from me in the morning.
I came home yesterday and went straight to the turtlelady stand thread to start planning.
Had to go to ground this weekend on a Scout campout. Trees were full of widow makers and I was running out of daylight. Went back to the car, found a tent and air mattress, but no bag. Pulled my New...
Very likely you would have the same problem if you were in a tent. I usually don't set up in the middle of a field when I (used to) tent camp.
I tried a mini S biner cliped to the pull out attachment this weekend. It worked but it was awkward. I think the Dutch hooks are the way to go. I would be nice if there was some "give" in the...
Looks like I'm headed for REI for some shock cord to try the side suspension.
Lots of good ideas here.
The New River has no suspension along the sides, just loops to facilitate innovation. Has anyone ever run shock cord through these and attached at the ends where the UQ...
When I emailed Brandon about lead time before ordering, he said "about two weeks". He shipped two weeks and three days later and I had it in my hands in exactly three weeks from order. I think the...
That looks like it will work pretty well, except you have to attach it after you get in. Simple though. There is a fabric loop on the New River in the right spot.
Equipment- WWBB 1.7 dbl and AHE New River.
After three nights with the same problem, spent all afternoon trying to get this adjusted. No matter what I do, when I turn from back to side or side to...
Yep. Blackbird super-flying this way too.
I suffered with Planar pain for a long time. Started wearing Super Feet insoles (orange) all day every day. At first felt like a boulder in my shoe, now I don't notice, and no planar problems in...
I ordered on the 29th. Camp out next weekend but I've already mentally prepared to be on the ground. Hoping to be surprised......
Ahhhhhh! What do I need mitten hooks for? (scrambles for credit card)
Welcome from up the road.
Ok ya'll have convinced me. I just ordered a New River UQ to go with my yet-to-be-delivered WBBB 1.7 dbl, and Superfly.
I'm trying to set myself up for success by buying well thought of gear up...
I ordered a day ahead of you. He has to make mine first!
Thanks everyone. It's great to be here
First post
Lots of research on this forum led me to pull the trigger tonight on a WBBB dbl 1.7 and a superfly. This Asst Scoutmaster hopes this wil keep me camping for a long time. I also know...
