hello from the ozarks

[lunarcanine]

Hi hammock forums. I live in the ozarks, mainly nwa. Absolutely diggin the plethora of info on here. I hope to be answering questions too.

But before i do i have a few questions myself. On ebay, who are the whoopie sling kings? I asked one seller "how deep are your buries?" no reply in a week.

Not trying to save money just want the best. Any help much appreciated.

Btw my setup is a 10x5.5 parachute hammock w/ simple 550 knots. Homemade down 3/4 underquilt. Weighing just over 2.5 lbs.

Hello and welcome from Marietta GA.

If you contact a vendor and they don't respond in a reasonable amount of time, I'd move on to the next one.

For whoopies, three quality vendors come to mind in no particular order...

I'm sure there are others, maybe someone else will chime in.

Good luck and happy hanging!

Welcome from North Central Arkansas and Woo Pig Sooie! I agree with johnspenn here, check out the cottage vendors, you won't be disappointed in their products, and customer service is amazing!

WPS. I lived in Fayetteville for awhile. I love that area. NWA is the ONLY beautiful park of Arkansas. The rest of it is flat and boring. Welcome to the community.

Welcome! I have to admit, I am envious of your location. NWA is where I want to move! Ripstop by the Roll also sells whoopie slings, if I'm not mistaken. Also, they are incredibly easy to make, if you just purchase a 25' length of Amsteel.

Welcome to the community! I'm from Mountain View originally now live in North Carolina I miss the land and the people of the Ozarks anyhow glad to see another from the Ozarks on the forum. Order some 7/64 Amsteel, watch a YouTube then voila homemade satisfaction. I now can make 2 in less that 30min while watching others hiking trips on YouTube or listening to the radio. You can make the bury 9" - 12" or anywhere in between. I've settled in on 10" which works good for me. Good luck, check out Dutchware Gear and RSBTR.

Welcome Lunarcanine! Our area of the Ozarks has a lot to offer. The best way to enjoy the Ozarks is to actually get outside as often as possible.
