We've been using our bikes to explore local creek bottoms and flood plains around our east side home. We like to hang out and have coffee and desert, take pictures, and just enjoy being out and about. Starting with Alight chairs, we were soon on to a variety of consumer hammocks for their better weight+bulk/comfort ratio. We're a tad more sophisticated than when we started out last spring, but we're still having fun figuring it out as we go.
Sophia is currently using a Grand Trunk Nano-7 with carabiners and tree savers and just keeping it in her bike bag.
I'm currently accumulating a bikepacking hammock-camping kit. The latest acquisition is a Hammock Gear Cuben w/ doors and Cuben sleevesthat just arrived this evening, and which I'm trying in the woods tomorrow! My hammock is a Grand Trunk UL/Whoopies/CF toggles/MSH/straps. I've been using a variety of pads and quickly building up the resolve to do it right and get an UQ sooner rather than later.
Stoked about the info and enthusiasm on the site and I'm sure I'll soon have questions about how to go about rigging my hammock and tarp to use the same sleeves... Single, er... structural... ridge line? I'm fairly lost, and soon to be a frequenter of the suspension subforum! Ha ha!
