Congrats Shimway!!! Enjoy I hope to use mine next weekend!!1

I use 8' zing it guy lines and 2 separate lines for the ridgeline as it was shown on the WBSF video. for the doors I use 6' shockcord.

+1!!! I love it one of my favorite purchases!!! It also saves wear and tear on the hammock. 2 weeks ago, after a long hike I jumped into the waterfall, swam to cool off then sat in my Alite to dry...

Thanks for the info guys but I did end up getting an Alite butterfly and love it!!! I have to agree with all the comments said above about it's greatness. One thing I would like to add is that it is...

I love the videos and yes Jenny and Adam make great products!!!

Nice set up there! Glad you got your buckle issues solved. Dont forget the trip report when you take her out!!!

JimT

You mean sleep in it everynight, no bed??? Wow that's incredible!!! very cool....

JimT

I am about the biggest cheapskate you'll find but I also believe in quality and customer service!!! I believe the price I paid for my kit is actually a bargain for what I got. I have been nothing but...

Gotta agree with you this website is full of great people with great info! Welcome ex-lurker

JimT

Love the story and it is great you got to share it with the boys!!! BTW Never thought about learning land nav on youtube, Thanks

JimT

Looks like a great time and awesome report... Love the reference of the porcupine to Becka...

JimT

+1, I went out and at 62 degrees I was comfortable with my 50 degree bag but my back was cold and there isn't much else you can do for it other than a UQ..

Good luck
JimT

Gadgets are easier for me, less of a learning curve less prone to failure.

Love my knot bones....

Grouch, Congrats and thanks for the report! Did you get any overfill in it?

Enjoy
Jim

I am thinking I have the new ones also (received it 6/19) and I haven't had a problem with slipping.
Here is my strapping/buckles, sorry about the dirty sock :confused:

Hello from a Hammock brother to your southwest, Georgia exactly!!!

Welcome to the forums.

Jim

OK Folks, I just watched the lighten up DVD and will be sending it out to FunnyMoney in the morning then it should go to RodWolfy!

@ Rodwolfy I sent your address to Funnymoney so he can get it...

In my bed I will start out on my right side and sometime in the night I will go to the left and it worked out good in my BB, but like SlowBro said it may not make much difference but go for it! BTW I...

Shug thanks for the hydropel link, Ordered it with overnight delivery!!! I want to try to do a short hike/camp on Saturday, feet willing!

JimT

I love it, I kinda wish I would have got the camo tarp, it just looks plain cool!!!

Thanks everyone, the feet are almost better, hoping another couple days they will be ready for more abuse. This place is really awesome, almost magical when your alone.

@KP- I am going to have to...

The worst part about it is that you may have to watch the videos more than once to get all the info!!! J/K there is a lot of valuable info in them and they are a blast to watch. Raul Perez...

Hi guys, Thanks to all the great info everyone has contributed here and a little trial and error my second solo outing was nothing short of great!!! It was at Panther Creek Trail just north of...

Agreed... I am a cold sleeper but I really don't get too uncomfortable until it reaches about 62* so I am still OK for while. Having to wait will definitely make me appreciate the products more and I...

I'll second that!!!

Welcome Drobny, our Croatian ambassador!!!

JimT

Hey where are the pics??? Sounds like a great set up!!!

That was enjoyable and beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing...

JimT

Too bad that permethrin really works great.... Loved the trip report appreciate your sharing.


Jim

I will follow this thread and be happy to help out as long as I am not working....

JimT

Not a bad idea, I'm going out to Panther Creek now for an overnighter there are normally some forestry service people around I'll ask if I see one.

Maybe one weekend we can get out there with out...

Thanks for the report and great set up. I live close to Clayton and am always looking for good hikes in the area.

Thanks again
Jim

Your Name Here, too please.

Ya got that right brother and from what I hear their stuff is really good!!!

JimT

Hahaha!!! I beat you all I am 728!!! Hopefully mine will be here in a week or two!

Summer Phoenix and Burrow both with an extra oz....

We all will be in toasty warm comfort!!!

JimT

Wow kinda miss that place. I had worked an assignment at Enloe Medical Center about 2 years ago. Great little town lots of outdoor stuff to do. Thanks for sharing.

Hahaha!!! I am following your lead, after I get my phoenix and burrow I am thinking possibly the cuben tarp or that new "invisible technology" one shown in the videos, :lol:.... Enjoy! I probably...

Well I decided to go to REI and check the Alite Butterfly Chair out.
They had a model on display and it is a definite challenge to get in and out of. One attempt getting in, I just about tweaked my...

'Chipmunk on crack', love it!!!

I hope you guys enjoy the hammock and he lets you get some hang time in it...

JimT

They are not the "best" backpacking chair at all! They are clumsy, bulky and dangerous to get in and out of so you really need to send it to me!!! J/K

I have looked at all the retailers and the...

I have seen a video review on that chair and it seems awesome, I just hate the fact that requires your legs on the ground to stabilize it. If I cant find a sling light or cradle lounger I may just...

Hi everyone, I am looking for either a sling-light or cradle lounger chair. I want to be off the ground with back support and it has to be fairly light <2.5 lbs. Where I go many times the ground is...

Dang, Your 685 and you posted yesterday I ordered mine yesterday and I am 728!!!:confused:

I hope you didn't order yours on the fourth or I am in for a looong wait

JimT

Yay!!! That would be awesome if I could get it before next weekend. What swayed me to HG was the 900 fp down otherwise it would have been a toss up... and it is DWR so I am really happy now!!!

JimT

BTW, are these things DWR, or do I need to do that myself???

I just did it, pulled the trigger on a 900 FP summer phoenix and summer burrow with 1 oz overfill!!! :boggle:

That will complete my kit for now, well other than the chair thing!

I am order...

Wow, that's just crazy!!!! Glad they don't do that with underquilts and other gear.

I am so on the fence right now for this one and another one.... Decisions decisions... or should I say spend, spend, spend! It seems like a great deal.

I am really loving that Jerry/BonsaiHiker/UQ frankenseat! kinda has everything I am looking for and as another poster said it can be used as a footpad for the 3/4 quilt I am getting! Dang I need a...

I haven't heard back from Funny Money or Swamp Donkey yet but if I don't hear from them before I get ready to send it out I will get it out to you...

Jim

OK, I will PM Funny Money and arrange getting it moving on.

Thanks
Jim
