Hey hammock-hanger/Cavediver2



Be sure to check your state park regs about tieing anything to trees....in

Florida, State Parks DO NOT allow anything fastened to trees.....posts are put

up for clothes lines.  Park resident managers check...and give wittten

notes/warnings to any violators.( I live in Maryland, but have camped several

places in Florida....and had to tent.)



And have you surveyed the proposed park sites to see if there are enough sites

with enough trees to accomodate the group you may have?  I've been in some parks

where the camping sites are nice....but the trees just weren't planted quite

right to hang a hammock!!  Reasonable spacing is handy.



Just a word in your ear...  ;-))



I'm sure the hammockers in the quad-quint state area you're interested in would

appreciate your being sure of such things.  Hammock Hangs are good

times....enjoy!!  Good Luck.

To far for me, but I hope it's well attended.

It's good to see hammockers getting together in other parts besides the south

east!





don`t leave the CREATOR out of the creation!!!

I'm assuming that weights are equal since not mentioned? I thought of those few

times I've hiked too long and had to set up in dark...

I prefer longer setup because it give me greater adjustability. I'm

using Syderline/webbing setup connected with rings. It pack the same,

but I can store the supports separately from the hammock. But the

adjustability is the main thing. My setup is similar to

this:http://www.tothewoods.net/HomemadeGearRingBuckleSupports.html

Thanks!

Steve,



Exactly.  The advantage of bottom entry is that you can hang the poncho

low enough that it provides adequate coverage.  Plenty of coverage for a

hiking trip.



I puzzles me that Tom does not offer a silnylon poncho option.



I use an 8'X10" tarp for camping trips.  It requires more real estate.

Sometimes you need to break off limbs etc. to get a good pitch.  2 extra

tree lines are needed and at least a couple of extra stakes & guylines.

The extra room is nice for camping trips, but I prefer the poncho setup

for hiking trips.



The standard HH fly is a compromise IMHO.  It is not dual purpose and is

too heavy for hiking, but is not big enough for camping.

Actually, this is exactly what I use. Dual-purpose, and if you use

the Campmor "extension" poncho, it's a actually larger than the stock

tarp. I've used both.



Here's a picture of my Hennessy near Bridalveil Horse Camp at

Yosemite last winter with the smaller Integral Designs poncho tarp:

This is not a condemnation, but most people (me included) when

looking to replace their tarp, are looking to go larger.  The

poncho/tarp is smaller than the stock HH fly.

I guess I'm confused by the polls.



Sometimes I camp with big groups, sometimes with really small groups,

so I never know how to answer.



Sometimes cooking on a big propane stove, sometimes on a campfire,

sometimes on a small stove.

I wanted to check "stealth" *and* "group". Sure, it requires a small

group, but those three hammocks in the trees a few week-ends back were

such a fun experience. Actually, I could have clicked all three - we

were hanging not too far from a place where one could rent huts in the

woods (not rented out that night) which had a communal fire place

between them in an open area. So we could take advantage of an open

fire *and* stealth camp together a little ways off. Perfect.



André

Solo, not at a campsite, not stealth.
