Never considered abrasion from my hammock suspension to be a problem with my cuben tarp and I have a bridge hammock. I've had it for two years now and no signs of any issues. I use shock cord on my...

That's not correct! You can make the length of the ridge line whatever you wanted it to be to achieve the appropriate dangle, just like with a gathered end hammock. With a structural ridgeline on a...

I too have a yeti for my ridgerunner. And I've come to the same conclusions as you regarding a pad vs the uq. I use it upside down, with the tag end at my knees and it fits the hour glass shape of...

I wear clean long underwear to bed to not only help stay warm, but to also keep my gear clean. I also carry wet wipes and take a saints bath with either the wet wipes or with a towel at a near by...

I have the HG Cuben with doors. The extra bulk and weight are a non issue in my opinion and I'm a gram weenie.

I spent a week in the Appalachians last winter, where the first 3 days were solid...

I saw those titanium corner pieces from Dutch. Those are pretty nifty. But, according to Dutch's website, his 2" webbing is 20 grams per foot. I think I could get away with 4" of webbing per...

I had 2 long talks today with Jack about, of all things, my Ridge Runner!!! I was having some sleep issues with my RR and I called him to see if he thought one of his bridges might work better for...

Nice job Old Boot!! Looks like I'm not a trail blazer, but at least I'm on the right path.

I'm considering modifying my RidgeRunner and/or a BMBH by replacing the hardware on the hammock that accepts the spreader bars with a pocket of 2" webbing. Having a webbing pocket instead of a piece...

The minimum distance between the loops on my RR woodie slings is more than 13'. The RR is the "weak link" in site selection, not the tarp. If you use a continuous ridgeline on the tarp, then you...

I just went through this same dilemma. I started with a sleeping bag and large Xtherm in a bridge hammock. I was pretty comfortable down into the mid 20's. I upgraded to a quilt and started having...

I'll take the Yeti!

Would have moved out to the mountain west a long, long time ago if I had any say in the matter. Unfortunately, I don't. We go where the government tells us to go.

I was hoping to be able to get away with a smaller / lighter tarp, but between most everyones response, it seems I shouldn't be a gram weenie and get the bigger tarp.

That's a pretty cool story...

I'm planning a DIY elk hunt in the Durango area of Southern Colorado (Unit 74, 7,000' - 10,000') towards the end of this coming up September. It's going to be a bivy style hunt, so we will be...

I've been on AHE's website. I'm planning on getting the Toxaway tarp from them. Today, I'm planning on getting a Warbonnet Ridgerunner, but that changes every day. Their ridgerunner specific Apex...

I've got an old North Face Blue Kazoo down bag. It's rated for 15 degrees, but it's lost some loft over the years. Probably closer to 30 than 15 now. I was hoping to go with that and a ccf pad. Will...

I just finished reading this thread titled "reflectix and condensation":

Wow, that was informative! But, I still have a couple of...

I'm planning my first backpack / bivy style elk hunt this September and I've decided to get off the ground and pick-up a hammock for this trip. We'll be hunting in southern Colorado, near Gunnison...
