Hi all, I haven't been active on the list for a long time, other than checking my email and reading posts from others on the list as time permits. Just wanted...
I posted the link to my most recent AT section hike at Kampfire, but there are a couple nice hammock pictures in the journal. I slept each night in the...
"Kelsyus Portable Backpack Hammock with Stand" http://www.everywherechair.com/kel-hammock.html While heavy and maybe not quite in the "camping" hammock...
Hello, Does anybody have any thoughts on using packing foam as insulation (see link below)? I have a BA Horse Thief bag and I'm thinking that the packing foam...
Winter will be here soon and I am thinking about setting my hammock up in a quinzhee. 1. Dig a trench in the snow between the two trees, 2. Install the...
A dark exterior will radiate heat away from the hammock and thus the body inside it. White would be the best exterior colour to prevent radiation. Randy ... ...
I'm wondering how low people have gone as far as the weight of their hammock fabric. I know Ed recommends 1.9 oz for folks under 200, Rich uses 1.1 for his...
I like my hammock, but I feel like I'm entering a cocoon when I crawl under the tarp. I'm thinking of getting a regular old sheet of clear plastic and rigging...
I think I'm misunderstanding why some bags/quilts have light outsides and dark insides. I know it's for radiation, but here's where I'm confused. Light colors...
Has anyone tried rigging a PeaPod as a Hennessey underquilt? I'm asking because I'd love to use the PeaPod with my homemade hammock, but I also want something...
What is the difference between an open cell pad and a closed cell pad? Advatages / disadvantages of either? Does it make a big difference in a hammock as...
Good Evening, I know down is superior in most every way to synthetics but I'm still not a convert. I just can't quite deal with down unless it's safely tucked...
Gidday. As a new 'hanger'from down-under I'd appreciate peoples views on the merits of open cell foam/underpad systems slung under hammocks. I've owned a HH...
I'm going to be doing some desert car camping pretty soon and I of course want to use my hammock. I brought this up not too long ago but wanted to ask one...
I went and took a look at the down comforter on sale at Target and was not impressed. It's too heavy and it's underfilled (for our purposes anyway). But if...

Risk- Which hammock did you use with a T-Rest and have a problem? Tom H. nearly insisted that I couldn't have been truly sleeping if I had a night on a T-Rest...
As a newbie who has only spent one weekend in a hammock, I'm amazed at the lengths required for cold weather camping. Certainly, with quilts, pads, windshield...
Just a brief note: Energizer's Lithium AAA batteries are showing up in stores. The first ones I sighted around here were in a Kroger (supermarket) about...
The big Camprest Thermarest will perform very well because it contains foam and quite a bit of air due to it's thickness. It would also prevent condensation....
I was so excited because I found some pretty thin ripstop nylon at Walmart for $1/yd, and it was even a dark forest green color. They had 5yds, so I bought it...
Jamie- One way you should be able to hang your hammock from your car/vehicle would be to tie one rope around its "B" pillar, maybe above the door. I think I...
