Medicine man says I only need to shuttle on Sunday. I will wait and make as many trips as needed. If someone needs something else let me know

I glad to see everyone is working on final plans for this trip. First - BE WARNED, THIS IS A POTENITALLY DANGEROUS HANG BECAUSE OF THE OFTEN EXTREME COLD AND WEATHER CONDITIONS. Please read the...

Neutron shuttle service available. I need medicineman to give me times and head counts

Looks like MedicineMan was slow on the uptake. That was my guess for any simple uneducated hillbillies. (Proof in point . . . Only one L in hilarious MedicineMan.) Remember - - - presentation /...

Neutron is finally reporting in. This was definitely a great trip on the best Rail to Trail route in the nation. It has some of the most beautiful scenery on any rails to trails segment that I have...

My electrons are finally up and spinning. .” I appreciate everyone keeping an eye on me. I must have looked pretty bad because everyone was concerned. . . What a GREAT Hammock Camping Family!!!!
...

Looks like Jimmy Neutron is in. Will bring Oatmeal and fixings for the Breakfast Buffet

If MedicineMan is the Assistant - Everyone head for the hills . . . If not, you will be heading for the privy - Bring lots of Pepto

No fair baiting us like rats. You must post at least a few pictures, description, and sources for materials by the weekend! There is a still lot of winter left.

Just like MedicineMan to leave me hanging in the wind. Glad everyone made it out safe

I would be happy to run one shuttle on Sunday from Roan Mt community to Carver's gap. I should be able to haul 3-4 back to the top.

Medicine Man has a M50 double that I made for him. Nice. I do not remember the weights.

As far as weight of the M50 to the Ghost Hammock

You cannot compare weights of this hammock to the...

The Single I made was out of M55. Little difference between it and the M50 other than micro rip stop and cost. I...

Two nights on Steriling with Poof. No failures yet. Off to Black Wolf for a more extended test. Hopefully he will give unbiases opinion about comfort.

Black Wolf - Test Dummy number 2. I need a address if you want to try this hammock Please PM me. You PM box is full so I cannot PM you.

I tested the single M55. It held 180 pounds. Poof is to test it on Mt Sterling next weekend. MedicineMan will be supplying video. I could not find my Amsteel. Weight with two continuous loops...

Medicine man reporting your weight, not me. Snoring? I was was unaware freight trains ran on top of roan high knob. That sound kept coming from your direction. A far as your self reported...

Just spent a cold, windy, and rainy night on top of Roan Mountain in the Double M50. It did not let me down. It sleeps great. I just need a warmer top quilt!

I would had slept better if I...

Guess what? I found some M55. Source was about out. I did not ask about the color. I was happy to get whatever I could find. Hopefully it will not let Poof's 145 pounds drop (as reported by...

I think the M90 should do well up to about 200-210.

Our almost static weight on the M50 double tested 310 no visible problems. My gut impression would be that a single M50 should hold about...

Looking for 4 yards of Momentum M55. Anyone know a source or have any for sale.

First, I love Dutch’s stuff.

Now for my complaint and solutions with the current “Dutch Suspension System.” With the Adjustable end of the woopie next to the Tree, It is difficult for short...

Black wolf - Single layer is next. After working with this material, when it tears, It will continues to tear. From my reading on the net, The M55 - is the microripstop version of this material. ...

Have been waiting on MedicineMan to get back from Vacation. He started another thread on the M50 double. Initial tests - it held. Long term, We need 20 nights in it first.
...

M5.0 double layer is done. Thanks Vortex. She made it the classic 120 * 60 size to fit MedicineMan. The weight is 230 gm, 8.11 oz. I have used Sgt Rocks Gathered end and it is ready for the Dutch...

I think Hangnout is correct. Consider a true machine buttonhole or reinforceing the edge by hand. I looked at the Link on the Knotty Mod. Look at post number 44 by gmcttr. This looks like a nice...

Thinks Acer for the valuable information on the Taffeta. That was my thinking / gut feeling about Taffeta. I am not quite sure what you mean by a Knotty Mod. If you place a link as how that is...

I think tefetta. The Description per thru-hiker is below.

M50 Double first then M50 single after that. It may be a month before I get to that one. College Tution upcomming - Will be broke for a while.

The most comfortable, lightest, functional hammock is a single M90, single layer, size 120*60. I now weigh 165, and 5’11. It was comfortable at 185 pounds as well. I do not get the left leg calf...

I have made 3 hammocks out of the Momentum 90 MR. So far they have held up well. I am not quite sure of the difference in qualities of the Micro Rip stop (MR) vs. the taffeta but empirically I felt...

I will forward the request and see

I checked on the Train for Katy transportation. It is not a bike friendly commute from the end of the trail to the train station. The train will only take 4 bikes total. A reservation is required. ...

Thanks Catavarie. It all in a name knowing what to search for.

1. It looks like if you could do cross baffles easily as shown by boothill in the following link that would solve both problems.

Glad to see there is still room. Do I just show up of do I need a reservation. I thought the Group site had a limit at that camp ground.

Cross Baffles make sense to me. It should keep the down form shifting all to the bottom. Anyone with a comment on if this is necessary or will overfilling take care of the problem. I have seen...
