I appreciate the input. My experience says go with Hammockgear TQ since I have the UQ and love it.
As far as temps go around here 25F might be the usual lowest in the mountain areas. Last year it...

There isn't too much in-between that I can remember. We typically start at Burrells Fords and hike to Licklog. Lot's of camping spots at either end.
I'm sure there's a spot or 2 in between, but...

+1 for the Raven and working with the smurfs. What a joy.

It's shady, so it wasn't awful. In the sun I would have cooked.

Thanks. I'll keep you posted. I'm heading to the woods this weekend. Hope to find my bliss.

Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I'll do that. Sometimes I wonder if I follow the 30 degree rule too strict.

Thanks everyone.
I do hang with my feet a bit higher, but perhaps I need to go up a few more inches. I'll continue to work on it using some of the other suggestions mentioned. Again, thank you.

A few months back I received a HG full length underquilt. Since then I've noticed a bit of calf ridge.
Without going into much detail can anyone suggest how to relieve this?

I have the 1.6 Hyper D as well and love it. It's amazingly soft. I had no idea until I got mine. You will be very pleased.

I just got my first UQ for my Raven. It's an Econ Incubator from HG. I was uncertain how it would attach to without having UQ hooks, but after getting get it I can't see how hooks would have made it...

I think I posted the original in the wrong topic so I'm putting it here too.

It's just what your talking about.

We just stopped in and found the campsite. Nice spot. Got a little distsnce for water and the toilet. We'll be there.

I love my Raven. It's sooo comfy.
The only item I wish I has a a peak shelf for clothes or stuff.

The ends can be fused with a lighter.

This sounds great. My daughter and I are thinking about coming.
I've done a lot of camping with the BSA, but never a group hang like this, so I'm unsure what to expect.

Beautiful area. You are now required to use bear canisters, not just a bear bag .

the conduit will use for this fiber is too small for mule tape. We are a low voltage company. This pull string came out ofconduit where we pulled just over 14000' of fiber.

Pulled it out of conduit we pulled fiber through. It was the pull string. It was a really long run.
I had to wrap it around my waist and walk backwards to pull the fiber.
I was amazed it didn't...

I hope it works out for you. As long as we were in the shade it was very nice.

Looking for options to add a peak shelf to my DH Raven.
I'm pretty sure I could send it back to DH and have one added, but I wanted to see what other options are out there.

Neat idea.
I have a roll of Velcro. I cut 4 small strips to do this with my bug net or tarp keeping the soft side toward the fabric. I keep them in the RL Organizer when not in use.

As it was drilled into me when I joined the forum... Get the book.

I have a ridgeline organizer and love it. At night I keep my headlamp, pocket knife, chapstick, cell phone in it.
I do wish i had a peak shelf. I would keep clothes and such there as needed.

I just got back from a week at boy scout camp where I slept in my Raven every night. I believe that they breed mosquitoes. I never got bit once while in my hammock.
I loved being in there all...

Do you have dates picked yet?

That's awesome. It's a beautiful area. I'm glad you got to enjoy it. I hope you get to do some more of it down the road.

We camped at Elkmont Campground last weekend. They let us use our hammocks.
Good luck.

And this is why I purchased Derek's Hang Calculator for my smartphone. Though I worry a bit less since my SRL is made from 7/64 Amsteel.

That's what I do. :)

Just curious. If the SRL keeps the sag you want, then does the 30 degree suspension hang really matter?
I understand that less degree's means much more force, and pressure at all the attachment...

Hi, and welcome form South Carolina, USA

Hi, and welcome from SC.

Here's what I've done for now.
149721
Have a roll of Velcro, and cut 5" strips

149722
Rap them around the bugnet and ridge line, with the soft side on the inside.

149723
I put 4 on there.

That was pretty funny!! :laugh:

Welcome from SC.

I'll be in Georgia in a few weeks, riding the Silver Comet, and of course hanging overnight.

I'm having a difficult time keeping the bugnet up like in this demo video. It's toward the end.

I'm thinking about using 2 or 3 velcro strips.

I'm not new to camping, but I am new to hammock camping. I've recently purchased a hammock and tarp as well. The bug has bitten me bad.
I didn't know anything about TTTM until you posted it. ...
