What are the dimensions? Length/width?

So… first set up impressions of SLD’s Catch-All & bishop bag:
Catch-all
1. Very nice, like it a lot
2. Was worried about getting the net version vs the sil but the net version is plenty sturdy...
Got my Catch-All & bishop bag today. Boy, Jared at SLD does fine work. Excited to play around with the set up this weekend.

Thanks for all the comments. I couldn’t decide on which, so I decided to play with both, the net version of the Catch-All to pair with the bishop bag SLD also makes. I use a net snakeskin and a...
I am 6’2” and bought a 72” wide hammock from DH a while back. The Hennessy I had at the time was not nearly wide enough. The hammock is great, but after a few years of use, I realize I probably...

Curious about Simply Light Designs Hammock / Quilt Catch-All and bishop bags sold by other brands. Seems like a convenient way to carry my hammock and quilts all together for easy deployment. Does...
Thank you for sharing this. Very sad. Although I never had the opportunity to meet her or Papa Smurf, I know through this forum and other media that they are great people. I bought one of their...
What’s the weight of the UQ?

I concur. Even brand new, you can get the Dutchware Asym tarp for less than $100. And it’s light at a little over 8 oz.

What are the temp ratings and weights of the quilts?

Is $1,030.00 a typo?

I have the HG Econ TQ in the 40 degree model. I’m 6’2” and the regular length fits me fine (although I’d go with the long model if I was any taller or if I wanted the ability to pull the quilt over...
Hello from St. Augustine!

Yeah, that looks pretty good. Sometimes it’s hard to visualize something unless you see it in real life. I suppose another factor in my color choice was I have a lot of other gear that’s green. ...
Looks good, FLTurtle. Got a trip planned to hike the Standing Indian loop in early October. Can’t wait until I get it and then out into the woods.

Thanks. After doing some research and listening to some of the advice on this forum, I decided that I shouldn’t be so nervous about an 11’ tarp. I wound up ordering an 11’ Thunderfly. Would’ve gone...
I went with the dark foliage green.

So, I just sent my order in for a WB Thunderfly. Was going to go with the 20D Silpoly Minifly, but they were suddenly out of everything except orange, which looks terrible to me. The Thunderfly was...
Apparently I can’t read. You said topquilt, and for some reason I read underquilt. [emoji2361]

I was going to suggest HG’s Premium Phoenix, but it’s more expensive and its 40 degree model is 3 oz. heavier than the Operator. I have been looking at buying the Phoenix for a while, so thanks for...
Good insight, FLTurtle. Thanks.

Thanks, Shug! I actually watched your video several times after Countrybois recommended the Minifly. I appreciated the comp between it and the Thunderfly. Gave me a great visual, and I trust your...
Thanks, cmoulder. I took a look at SLD’s Trail Haven tarp and like all the various options they offer. However, I couldn’t find where it would give you a weight for whatever you chose. It simply...
Thanks, Countrybois. Didn’t think to check WB’s site. There are some features to the Minifly I like. One is that it has a silpoly (less water absorption) option and the other are the split beak...
I’m looking for a really light tarp but am not yet ready to make the splurge for DCF. I once saw a recommendation on here about the Paladin tarp made by EE. Do they still make that tarp? I can’t...
I am 6’2” and find that an 11’ hammock that is around 60” wide is way too narrow. I had a Hennessy that was about that width, and I would wake up after a night of sleep with a really sore right...
Yes, I do.

I had the Flyz, but those could be a hassle because I kept having to slide the Flyz back and forth on my Zing-it line. So, I switched to the Stingerz, and like the setup much better.

I bought this Tyvek ground sheet from Luxe Hiking Gear. They sell it in four different sizes. Brand new, it’s a bit noisy, but it works pretty good. I prob just need to throw it in the washing...
I would definitely consider an UQ protector. You may want to check out Hammock Gear’s Dyneema Palace tarp. They come in 10, 11 & 12 foot lengths, each of which are less than 10 oz. The width is 10’...
I hope my post didn’t come across snarky, although I could see how someone might take it that way. Sure wasn’t my intention. Stick around and you’ll see the folks on this forum are good people,...
There’s always eBay. Also GearTrade.

That’s great to know iceman857. I just bought a Windrider 2400 and have been looking at the pods. I was wondering if the large one would hold both my quilts. Thanks for the info.

My TQ and UQ are both 20. I think I have the 18 liter compression sack, which is a perfect fit. I believe they make up to a 25 liter sack if you needed a little more room. I like these sacks...
I use these from Granite Gear. I got one large enough to put both my TQ & UQ in. Works great.

Interested in buying one or two HMG pods if anyone has any they are willing to part with for a reasonable price.

Thanks for the report. Sounds like you had a great hike. I want to do this same section with my son next spring break. Question: sounds like you did a lot of miles each day. How difficult was it...

Interesting, leiavoia. Do you have a video link on how that’s done? I usually pre-tie my lines to the loops with the bowline and then use whichever hitch is called for depending on how far out I...
I should have said that he teaches 3 different knots. In addition to the bowline and the trucker’s hitch, he also teaches the McCarthy hitch, which can be used interchangeably with (and is very...
After watching this video from Andrew Skurka, I ditched the hardware and learned to tie my guy outs with a bowline knot and trucker’s hitch. It’s super easy to learn, you can cinch your guyline as...
That’s awesome. My 7-year old has been talking all day today about going camping. We even made some homemade camp shoes as a little MYOG project. He wore them around the house all day. Would have...
