Permethrin is available in the Netherlands as a lotion or a cream, even without a doctors prescription. It is used as a treatment for scabies. It is probably not well suited for treatment...

I have slept in it only once. The pad did not shift, but I did get cold a little. The hammock is designed for a pad with width 65 cm (25.6 inches) and a length of 197 cm (77.6 inches) and I used a...

A possibility without bling is to use a piece of rope and tie it to the guyline tie out (with a bow line for example) and connect this rope with a Blake's hitch or end of line Prussik to the actual...

I use two sizes tree straps: 4 foot and 6 foot, to save weight. UCR is connected to tree strap with a quick hitch. If I undo this I end up with the treestrap in my hand, so I never forget the...

90 degree hammock delta UL weighs 321 grams (11.3 oz) without suspension. More expensive than gathered hammock but very comfortable.

Hi Timo,

Welcome from The Netherlands from me too!

I have always slept on my side, could never sleep any other way in beds, but in a gathered end hammock I found I can sleep on my back with no...

I should be much more out and about instead of lounging on this forum, therefore Armchair hiker instead of a real hiker. :mellow:

I like the Quick Hitch, I use it all the time:

The knotty mod is -if I remember well- a shock cord in a part of the side hem, to prevent the side from becoming sloppy. See

I'll give it a go:

Hi OlTrailDog,

I am one of the other owners of the 90 degree hammock. I don't have a tarp yet and I haven't slept in the hammock as yet. I have testdriven it only once.

I can echo happywhizzes...

I have had success with Blake's hitch, used for tarp tie-outs, it never once slipped, but not huge stresses either.

Hi Martin,

I would be interested, like to hear from you.

I have an Goose Feet medium pillow with stuff sack pocket. It is really soft. I put my rain pants in the stuff sack pocket, so it has some volume. It weighs about 2 oz. I connect it with shock cord...

I have been having this problem as well.

How about stitching or even glueing Velcro (i.e. hook and loop fastener) on the foot end of the hammock and stitch the other hook/loop part to the...

Hi Lotte,

Welcome to the forum!

Another Dutch hanger here, I have been hammock camping for a year now. Maybe we should organise a Dutch hang sometime, there are quite q few hangers in The...

I am happy with my TFA 30.1042: lightweight, remembers max and min temperatures.

I am not sure if it is available in the US.

@ JEB

Thanks for the suggestion of the Ashley stopper. Looks fairly easy to make, I'll see if it can be undone easily. I like to be able to tie the knot at different lenghts on different hangs,...

Easiest is to use a short piece of rope attached to the tarp, say 4 inches. Attach this with a Blake's hitch to the actual guy line: adjustable under tension, easy to adjust, does not slip at all....

@Phantom Grappler

These are all cool ideas, I'll think about and try them.

Do you know if friction hitches like the Prussik hold when tied with Amsteel on the webbing? I have some experience...

Thanks for your answer. Would that hold if you put a bight in the tree strap and attach the amsteel via de bunt line to this bight? What I like about the marlin spike hitch is that it is easy to tie...

The short part of the UCR is larksheaded to the hammock via a spliced eye, through the channel. The long part needs to be connected, also via a spliced eye, to the webbing.

Since I switched from whoopie slings to UCRs, I noticed that a marlin spike hitch with a toggle is no longer necessary, since there is no need for a free moving adjustable part of the Whoopie sling...

Hi Gos,

The weight of my medium Goosefeet pillow with stuffsack option is 54 grams (1.9 oz).

Happy goosefeet pillow user here. I have it in the medium stuffsack version, put my rain pants in at night, that gives it some firmness but I can still lay my head on that lovely soft down. Goosefeet...

Hi Gos,

Another (newbie) hammocker here from the Netherlands. Wanting to be ultralight too. I am trying to solve the riddle of hammocking on campings where there are usually no trees suitable for...
