I am almost done doing homework on my new topquilt purchase. My uses are two fold. When with the family I will be car camping, and will use the quilt for an underquilt on my wife's HH Exped...
Hate mine. Took it out 2 nights and started looking for one for taller people. For the price I ended up with a Dream Hammock dual layer 1.1 Dangerbird68. I am much happier and was almost driven...
I agree with a caviat. If you put it up too tight it will compress your uq, and you will have a big, noticeable, irritating cold spot. It took me about three nights to figure this out.
Also,...
Might be less fuss to sew loop velcro into the foot box, and attach hook velcro to the pad.

I just got back from a hunting trip where I took my DB68, HG Phoenix 20*, 2QZQ UQP. 19* on the 3rd day, snow on the second day, wind, rain, fog. I was using a Slumberjack 20* sythetic bag. No...
I have an underquilt protector, and I got snowed on/rained on/misted on one night last week so my underquilt was damp, despite the protector. I have found that if I am not careful with the UQP I may...
I just got back from my first freezing/below freezing hang, and I had a 20degree HG phoenix with 2 oz overstuff. I was fine using a 20 degree slumberjack bag down to freezing with cotton socks,...
I bought the digital camo webbing that they had...I bough a small quantity and used the Float test that I read about on this forum. The webbing floated, so presumibly it was poly. It streatched. I...
I am planning on a winter setup with 20 degree, 40 degree and UQP. One of fhe attractive points is that I can buy piecemeal. A combo package, while attractive, would be incredibly cost...
Very generous. I have a hunt coming up, and it was my own stupid fault. Upon inspection a lighter cleaned up the edge and the only real damage with the gossgain was pulled off and the shock cord...
Looked at the UL Packs. I am currently using my G1 Marauder, with KU pods and a cargo chair. Finances being what they are (wife is still in college, just got her hours cut from part time to almost...
I went hiking two weeks ago on a two night three day trip. This was an equipment shakedown for my back country hunt next month. So I packed 5 days worth of food, and my pack weight was 74 pounds....
WOW

This last weekend I had a catestrophic failure of my UQP. We were on a scouting trip, and hanging near a rocky streambed where hammocks were the only option. I could't find a place to pitch a tent...
2qZq, $40.00
Great to deal with.

That's why I woke at every bloomin sound. The pistol in the waistband was a bit reassuring. I also had a four year old that tried to climb into my hammock at every opportunity. I just never knew...
My first hang something bumped into me at about 0230 or so. Then it snorted at me. I was a little concerned, as it had been raining I allowed the wife and kids to eat in the tent, and we were in...
Actually, I just mounted my UQP directly to my DB68. I didn't like how loosely the UQP hung.on my hammock. I set up my hammock in the dark without a light. I had three different suspensions...
Like everything it depends on your needs. I contacted Papa Smurf with this question. Because weight was so important we decided that a DB68 in 1.1 ripstop would give me the best strength and lowest...
I just got mine set up in a way that I hope I really like it.
I put my quilt on the hammock, and brought one end of the UQP together around the gather for the hammock. I ran a small cable tie...
...As soon as I can get the pics up.

Well, I have had this thing for a few weeks now, and I got to use it for the first time this weekend at a Church Retreat at the Humming bird Music Camp in the Jemez. I just want to say that...
Ok, now that several people have received them...I feel it is safe to complain:
This thread is useless without pics!

I bought an UQP from 2QZQ for just this reason. Worked for me. It also adds a few degrees comfort when I do use an underquilt. I am planning a modular setup. Summer car camping with the family...
Misleading topic!!!!!

Hammockgear.com just posted a bunch of in stock stuff. A week after I ordered what I wanted, they put three of them on the in stock page.

Stormcrow,
My email just crashed, requiring a reinstall of the software. I fired off an email about a purchase I am about to make. It would be the one from zianet.com. Can you re-send your...
Dutch hooks should work great for opening beer. Last year while hunting I used a door latch on my van, this year while dumping beer I used the latch plate on a door. Both of those methods are a...
I am nowhere near UL, but I have needs. I am a hunter, so my pack has to take everything for a 3 day hunt, including water, and be able to pack out an animal. Durability and the ability to go heavy...
Finally hopped off the fence and ordered a DangerBird 68, in 1.1 Olive Brown Ripstop. Order number 140. Now the waiting begins.

Glad you got yours. I am tall, and my HH let me get a decent lay, but not as comfortable as i would have liked. After pricing the HH offerings, I am seriously looking at the DB 72. I am...
Capitan. Stage II fire restrictions. We were camped right at the end of Pine Lodge Road. We got a few hours of steady rain.
I was disappointed that on the way in we saw no raodkill deer, and...
Part of the problem with the pistol I had no belt on the clothes I elected to sleep in. My fanny pack or a dedicated AIWB would have held the gun more securely, accessably, and comfortably than an...
Just took the family camping on a combined deer scouting trip and feral hog hunt. Good campsite. Wife and kids had the tent, I had my HH Exped that I got at REI. The Exped is for sub six footers,...

Also, not looking at TQ at this time, because I have so many sleeping bags of various makes/weights/quality/ratings. This is till a budget conscious endeavor.
thanks again,

One thing that is unpredictable in NM is the weather. I think I have had more white Easters than Christmases. My Fruit trees are still trying to recover from a bright February day in '10 where the...
I am brand new to Hammocking, and have done my best to read most of the posts in each of the sections(reading 10-100+ pages per day for the last month or so).
I got drawn for a deer hunt this...
