Winter Sock sold to franchiz.

All items are now sold. Thank you, everyone!

That spot is off of the Swift Camp Creek Trail in Red River Gorge, KY.

Hey that's a good idea. I have a bunch of those mic bags that end up not getting used because I store my mics in cases with foam. Good thinking.

I started with a 20 degree 3/4 length. After a number of winter trips and still having cold feet issues, pad slipping out from under my feet, winter coat not quite doing the trick, etc... I broke...

I put the stock HH Expedition Asym Zip tarp through a few serious deluges a few years ago when I was using it regularly.

Once or twice I did sort of hang my rain coat as a secondary tarp over the...

Going to echo a lot here it seems...

I have a contractor trash bag in my pack but I don't always open it up and use it. It's just there for heavy/sustained storms and other potentially unforeseen...

I use a zip cover in winter (been using my Little Shop of Hammocks Warrior in all 4 seasons now.)

I keep the part zipped near my feet so my top quilt stays in place and open up near my head to...

I have a 9 week old son and am already starting to try to figure out what age is appropriate to start taking him on trips, heh...

Bump, Winter Sock still available, all else SOLD!

Dutchware 11' Netless Gathered End Hammock SOLD to davidp

Summer Sock SOLD, and no, the hammock does not have knotty mods!

I accept PayPal for payment. All of my prices include USPS Priority Shipping with Tracking to CONUS and I almost always ship within the next business day after receiving payment.

All of the...

Well, I really shouldn't have bragged about my positive feedback on other forums because it seems that I've jinxed myself here.

I made a second mistake. I listed the Kevlar tree straps as 15' in...

heyduff and seadug, thank you, good catch... I edited it to state the correct 200lb limit (not sure where I got that 250 number from...)

Here I am trying to make a good impression on my first...

DELETING THIS THREAD TO CLEAR UP SOME ERRORS... WILL REPOST VERSION TWO SOON! THANK YOU!

I sleep without an underquilt sometimes in the Red River Gorge area in KY in the summers... I sleep warm and it stays warm overnight. Even though I sleep without it, it's still in my pack...
...

I bought the standard Hammock Gear Cuben Fiber tarp and yes, it was expensive, but I don't regret it at all. It's strong, compresses into a small size and weighs basically nothing. I've had it out in...

What's funny is that my 1st hammock was a Hennessy Expedition Asym... and that's an even thicker fabric than my current 1.9... I'd guess the Hennessy is 2.0+... but I had some sleep/back issues in...

I think Dutch lists 250lbs as the limit for Hexon 1.0 but, again, my weight at 185 felt a little too stretchy in that fabric. I could see the 1.0 Hexon working for people maybe 160lbs or less... but...

I'm 5'11" and 180-185lbs and when I was using a 1.0 oz fabric 11' hammock, I would get some lower back pain occasionally...

I now primarily use a 1.9 oz hammock and.. no more back pain. I'm not...

Awesome. I'm envious. Two of my friends recently took time off of work to do the Appalachian Trail, another went to the Himalayas for a long time... now this... at some point in my life I need to do...

I'm going to second the 11' Warrior hammock. I have one and it's excellent. I have no plans to replace it and it has replaced my Hennessy Expedition Asym Zip and my Dutchware 11' Netless.

Once myself and some friends heard a big tree come down in the middle of the night in the smokies (we were still up and hanging around the fire.) The loud crack definitely got our attention... then...

Those are some conveniently placed trees. :)

I use the Dutchware folding sit pad now, but for a long time, I bought a cheap OD green Army surplus CCF sleeping bad and cut sections out of it. Worked fine. I still use a section of it as...

In the summer, and I usually camp at Red River Gorge area in KY (it's hot and humid here, sometimes 90-100 degrees Fahrenheit and 60000000% humidity) I'll bring a cheap, small (maybe 4'x5.5') IKEA...

I started out with a Hennessy Expedition Asym (which is probably a 2.5 or something fabric) and then switched to a Dutch Netless Hexon 1.0 too to save weight and bulk... but have since switched again...

Some pictures at Red River Gorge, KY off of the Pinch Em Tight trail. My dog, Oscar, sleeps in the hammock with me.

I used the loop on the tree straps, a MSH and whoopee slings up until just recently.

I switched to Cinch Buckles and Dutch Clips... I've learned that it makes my OCD tendencies much quicker and...

I just went out with my new Little Shop of Hammocks Warrior 11' in the Multicam 1.9 fabric this past weekend and I found it to be more comfortable than my previous two hammocks: a Henenssy...

Another option would be widening the hole slightly on the tarp worms with a drill bit or dremel tool.

Honestly, the V is a new concept to me since reading this thread (I'm still a relatively new hammocker... somewhere between 1-2 years) but I've never noticed any issues of suspensions rubbing...

You all beat me to it... I was going to suggest the pocket bellows as well!

...and someone suggested Darn Tough socks too.

In that case, maybe a solar phone/device charger. There's plenty out...

In addition to my primary hammock tarp, I almost always bring a 5'x7' Sea to Summit poncho tarp with me on my trips, regardless of season or weather. It has a ton of uses. Sometimes, I'll just lay it...

I have a Dutchware summer sock (bug net on top, solid fabric on the bottom) and I bet it would work just fine as a bivy under a tarp suspended from a ridgeline. It's fairly similar to the Fronkey...

I figure that if I had to go to ground, it would be because of some kind of unexpected equipment failure (hammock tears, suspension fails, etc)... so it's time to get bushcrafty then.

If it's...

I have the standard Hammock Gear Cuben Fiber Hex Tarp.

It's my go to and I love it. 7.5oz with all of the guy lines included.

So far, I haven't felt the need for the doors.

This looks like a really nice place, thanks for the write-up and photos, I'm going to have to go here some time, it's not far from me.

Same here. I think the overnight temps got down to something like 8-10 Fahrenheit on a trip I did in February (or maybe it was late January...) but I was comfortable with the Revolution 20, heavy...

I store them loosely in laundry-type bags that came with the quilts (Hammock Gear and Enlightened Equipment) but shove them down into the bottom of my pack when I head out. I don't use stuff /...

Dutchwaregear netless 11' 1.0 Hexon fabric (holds 250lbs) packs down to about the size of a fist and weighs something like 7-9oz.

Nice write-up and pictures. I love the RRG and Natural Bridge area.

I took Tuesday and Wednesday off of work and am heading out to the RRG in the morning for a quick overnight... indecisively...

I use a 58 liter pack and my winter weight (for 1-2 nights) is anywhere between 25-35 pounds depending on the "extras" that I bring.

I tend to bring more tools in winter because I like to get to...

Yeah, I also don't build fires too close to my expensive hammock gear and cuben fiber tarp so they don't catch any embers.

The poncho tarp weighs about 8-10oz or so and wasn't very expensive at...

I can maybe save you some $$$ on that balaclava...

I use this one, it's an Italian army surplus and, while it's cheap in price, it's made of a very soft merino-esque wool.

These are brand new...

The green tarp is a 5'x7' poncho tarp that I sometimes bring along if I know there's going to be precipitation of some kind. I sat under it on my foam pad on top of that log and had a fire right in...

Nice, I just returned from my first snow overnight too with temps in the teens and wind chills hovering around 0 give or take a few degrees. Looks like it was the same storm system you, me and the...

Overnight in Red River Gorge, KY. A few photos from the campsite. These were taken just after I got the shelter set up and before I lit the fire not long before dark (maybe 5:30 pm 1/5/17).

The...

I'll take the Fallkniven A1 $130, PM inbound!

When you were there, you didn't happen to see a group of Hobbits wander by, did you? Or a man by the name of Tom Bombadil?
