Good read. Thanks for posting.

Thanks everyone. Billy Bob, I think that's Mt Baker in the second pic. Also just left of center in the panoramic pic.

I must preface this with telling you I'm not a backpacker and I'm also a flatlander from Tn. I'm an avid camper/hanger via car and or kayak. I'm hard headed and often my ambition writes checks that I...

I'm out of town. Please post a trip report. I've bikes all of the n/s trail but haven't hiked and inch of it. Do you know where you're camping? Backpacking or car camping?

Oh wow. I had no idea. Had a nice hike on the Skyline Divide trail. It was a bit colder than I expected. I also didn't expect to run into snow but I found a bunch.

Change of plans. Backpacking the Skyline Divide trail instead tomorrow morning-Thursday noon ish.

Awesome pics! Look like a good time. Thanks for the bug tip. I'll probably leave the bug net behind. Looks like Deception Pass Loop 15ish miles. Leave Wednesday am coming back Thursday. Suggestions...

One more question. Can I leave the bugnet at home?

Good call on the straps I'll grab some. The Temps are looking fantastic. Low 40's overnight this week. Perfect hanging weather.

I'm a little nervous about my 6' tree hugger straps. The trees here are hugeafied. I forgot to plan accordingly. I should have doubled up on them. I'm sure I can find some little trees from which to...

I'm visiting family for about 2 weeks up here. I brought some backpacking gear. I'm a rookie backpacker. In fact I've never been. I've kayak camped and car camped plenty. I'm also in great...

Synthetic fill. I primarily use the patrol bag late spring-early fall. When Temps go below 40 I'll switch to the intermediate bag. The bivy has an unintended awesome use. You can fit your sleeping...

Perhaps phasing it out was an incorrect description. The woodland camo version is being replaced by a 5 piece ACU system. I'm buying up the 4 piece woodland camo modular sleep systems at auction. The...

I love the 4 piece sleep system. It's just so versatile. I actually bought a bunch of them at auction and sell them on Craigslist. They're phasing them out so they're almost always in perfect shape....

I can't find much information on it. I was wondering if it would compare to regular 30d nylon ripstop. I was able to find out that there is a type 1 which weighs about 1.1oz per sq yd and a type 2...

I'll second the lashing straps from harbor freight. 3.99! I too cut the buckle off and then cut the straps in half to make another set.

That sounds like an awesome trip. I've never paddled there, though I've covered every inch of trail from Dover to Grand Rivers by mountain bike. (they recently opened up the tn side to mtbers).

I...

thanks a bunch. I love the digital woodland stuff too. I have several of the Marine Marpat Camo Assault Packs that i bought at auction. I had 60 of them at one point because i bought a huge lot! ...

I wanna try another with Cat cut on all sides and prettier seams. Stoked. Learning to sew is quite fun.

I've laid around in it quite a bit, but i've yet to take it on a trip and sleep a full...

It's 50 cents more per yard than their other 1.1 ripstop, but it matches a...

I followed the instructions from a couple different posts here, mainly the gathered end hammock post. I ended up re-gathering and whipping the ends a couple times to get it right. I'm pretty happy...

Good info. Thanks.

Recently a friend an I made basic gathered end hammocks with the help of several posts in the DIY section of this forum. So first of all thanks for all the help so far. Both our hammocks came out...
