Call and talk to Dutch at Dutch Gear. He has thru hiked the AT using a hammock
If you are using a bug net hat or similar, if the bug net touches you then so can the bugs. Solution...treat with Permethrin. All my hammocks have an integrated bug net. If I don't want to use the...
I have a HH Expedition Zipper version and found that I don't like it. Something about the fabric just doesn't feel right. A couple of folks I lent it to had same opinion.
Find a group hang in your area ( check HammockForums to find them ) and visit. You will find a variety of different hammock setups being used and can talk the users to see why they are using those...
Congrats on your expansion. While I am a hammock camper, if I ever go back to a tent, it will be a Lightheart tent.
I came across Taba Ward on the Neusiok Trail section of the MST a few years ago. Nice guy. Be aware that much of the MST is a road hike and there are sections where camping is not allowed.
The ENO's tend to be too short to get a comfortable lay in ( I have a ENO DN ). Recommend you look at a 11 ft hammock ( or a Warbonnet Blackbird ). I am 6ft2 and 275+ lbs
Blood clot dissolved with all the meds they gave me, besides the warfarin, I also did twice daily injections of Enoxaparin (Lovenox®) for 6 weeks. Stung a little and left some nice bruises at the...
Rat poison ( warfarin ) is easily reversible:
I know that this is an issue with some of the other thinners out there.
The Terminator ( my wife ) says she has given up her plans to try and...
I also use the Dutchware bowl bags. Great item
I am also on a daily baby aspirin and that has not been a problem.
I have been on blood thinners ( warfarin ) for about 7 years now ( developed a blood clot in lower leg while section hiking the AT ) and I still hike. Thinking about doing a thru hike of the AT in a...
Pads work but UQs are far more comfortable
I have my Secret Hammock Institute of Testing in my back yard so I can set up to 9 hammocks at one time. I test all my gear here before I use it out in the woods. Good thing as I have found issues...
Never underestimate the power of human stupidy
Why are there more uphills than downhills on the trail
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a...
we are not insane, just committed :)
Too short for many of us to be comfortable.
Wrong....there are many youth with a very strong work ethic...they are called Marines
The lighter the weight of the fabric is, the greater the chance of failure. I only have 3 hammocks that I use that are SL, all the others are DL. ( I own 5 BB's ).
Warbonnet use to make...
About an 8 hour drive
Florida State parks use to ban hammock hanging from trees until recently due to the efforts of some folks on HammockForums.net. They now allow hammocks to be hung with 2 inch wide tree straps. ...
Why was this posted under Hammocks as it has nothing to do with them ?
And here on HF for hangs in the SE.... https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/forumdisplay.php/113-Southeast.
The SC crowd holds lots of hangs
I have met TABA on one of his hikes on the MST. Nice guy.
Yes you can do the AT in a hammock except in GSNP which requires one to sleep in the shelters but there are some ways around it. I used one on the AT back in the early 70's but did not know about...
