What type of cord are you using? I need something to set up a tarp in windy conditions. Great video!

PERFECT 😍

This hammock is like 399 now and you have to buy the straps separately 😮‍💨🙂‍↕️

Wow you're gonna get wet AF in that hammock when it rains. That tarp is purely decorative.

Why no whoopie slings? This all seems so complicated and unnecessarily heavy..

I'm one person I like this, I need a system for the house. Currently drink bottled water. What system do you recommend ? Afraid to drink city faucet water

I put my folded wool blanket down, then throw my sleeping bag in and it works great

Have you made a bad video?? I always like to attach my lines to the tarp with a taught line hitch....if the weather is bad it means i can tighten up the tarp without going outside and getting wet

Another great video......personally im tarp first everytime and if the weather is ok i just pin out one side, fold the tarp over and clip the corners together if its a bit windy. Im in Scotland and the rain comes can come out of nowhere quickly. Ill not always set the hammock up until later, i carry a wee chair so if its raining younhave more space to cook and what not

Great video big lad

Why not build your tent under a tarp

Great advises, thank you, specially third one :)

Thanks for the video. Natural sustainable fibres for the win! My favorite base layer is merino wool. I tend to pack and travel light and soon realised that the natural antimicrobial and temperature regulating properties of wool can mean one merino top can replave at least three synthetic tops. Besides as i'm always wearing it, it doesn't count towards pack weight. I can go five days easy without body smell (as confirmed by others. ;-). Full disclosure. We don't make woolen outdoor clothes (just duvets) but after seeing your video we feel like we should!

Ga ngerti bahasanya🤭

How is this compared to the Superior Gear ?

I will NEVER waste my money on Down! It's worthless when wet and backpackers always get wet. Particularly in the ADK mountains.

Great!

Loop.

You earned my follow!!! Thanks for this info, Marine 🎉

Thank you😺

I really like your videos! Very useful tips for hammock beginners and i really appreciate that you're giving advice on how to make relatively cheap gear like foam pads work with a hammock! I'm using a ridge rest in my single layer hammock because, for me, its just awesome to have something to sit or lie in while taking a quick break from cycling, not having to care about punctures and don't have to spend that much money on an (proper) underquilt. I tried to tackle the problem of the pad sliding around in the hammock (might upgrade on a double layer sometime) with some of this (i don't even know the correct word in german :D) fabric you put under carpets so that they don't slide around. Just put it some patches of it in the hammock under the pad and it prevents from sliding.

Wow that was a great video brother You Really Got Me in the camping mood. I would like to get that bug net pole module for my chameleon. God Bless you 🙏

I've got stingers and Wasps. i like them both. But the thing I believe the Wasp has over the Stinger is that with the Stinger the line has to come all the way back to the tarp, which means you use twice as much line, or you gat half as much distance. The Wasp allows you to locate it way back near the tree, so you can use more of your line if you need it.

I think the Hangtime Hook would be good for if it rains and you get stuck under your tarp for a while. Although I'd probably just enjoy the sound of the rain and go to sleep

shame d hmk has a net and not d same camo as ur topqwilt.. wish i could afford insulated hmk like that but import to uk would be insane sadly ..

Bringing a wood bag to Afton SP is a brilliant idea! I’m definitely doing that from now on. I always enjoy your videos!

Hey Ron! Glad to see you're back on the trail, but no Runner this time? Also at 3:20 you didn't finish your sentence "I'm gonna be testing..."

Wow! I love the quilted hammock and the tarp. Glad that you have a company there the turkeys. Cheers the Marine

Usually the bottom side of the sleeping bag doesn't have as much fill as the topside, because it doesn't do much there anyway. You will be much better with a top quilt instead.

First off, NY needs to step up its games. That wasn’t a campsite that was the Taj Mahal I’m not sure if you speak Turkey but I was listening, they are setting up on your flank. You almost got ambushed by dinosaur birds. 🦃. Fun video.

Nice

I left my Hennessey to become a ground dweller in a Durston Xmid1, but this quilted hammock has me thinking about returning to the the hammock world. Well done video.

Nice, thanks for posting Marine.....

Great vid. Not sure a small asymmetrical underquilt like that would work for me, I'll stick with my Superior Gear hammock for now.

Thanks for the adventure into ultra lite. It seems that your shoulders were edging out. Did you feel that you were pushing the temperature envelop??? How is the bugnet pole held in place? Could you do a "Side by Side" with the SuperiorGear hammock, especially regarding the use of the SG snaps and bug net. So interesting watching the development and competition. But I still love my BB XLC from Warbonnet. Thx again, T

Thank you for getting this video up before it might release this coming week on their website ! I’ve been watching @backpackingadventures channel also! I wanted your opinion too !

Nice video. What an interesting hammock. For a long time I have been trying to figure out that asymmetrical lay that people are talking about. The Chameleon with the built in quilt makes it quite clear how that works. I have been looking a while and finally bought the Crua Koala Maxx set (it was on sale). It just arrived this week and I imagine it will be fun times trying to figure that out. Hoping to make some of the hangs around Wisconsin/midwest. God bless. I am so happy I found your channel. It is so uplifting.

That bugnet pole mod is pretty slick...Dutch comes up with some pretty innovative ideas. Luv the video, luv the hike, thanks so much for sharing it all.

Amen!

Awesome gear choices! I have the same hammock, hex tarp, headlamp and backpack. Great minds think alike. Love them and you will be happy. The hammock is really nice. I love mine. I normally lay with my head to the left but had no issues to the right. I have the hex tarp but at 11 foot. I’m thinking I should have gotten the 12 foot since it doesn’t have the doors. I’ll have to measure my quilted hammock they sent me. I thought it was 11 foot. If it’s 10 I was very comfortable and maybe I can start getting shorter hammocks and save weight. Good luck with your ultralight journey. Your body will thank you at the end of a long hiking day. Outstanding video Ron!

Thanks 👍looks great!

Nice

Nice video. I always have one of our 2 dogs w/ me & that dropped stake wouldn’t have touched the ground. 😂 I enjoyed your prayer & the turkey gobbles. Hammock looks great.

Lol, the Dragonfly part had me rolling. Glad I'm not the only one that thinks they look like Cobras.

Haven't watched you vids in a while.. Loved this :)

Just don't move in to St. Paul. They raised sales tax to 10%, highest in the Nation.

I like my Chameleon, but being a restless sleeper the asymmetrical quilts just don't work for me.

Your spin-off channel: "Adventures With The Turkeys" - I like to lay diagonally opposite as you were in this video (the angle of the quilt). I assume the direction of the quilt can be ordered in the other angle, right?

I really like your channel but your to old to be out by yourself, come on. I was in Scouting since 1957 until WOKE took over around 1998 and loved I Scouting and believed in their one one saying of Being Prepared but their second saying and very important, use the buddy system when in the outdoors. Semper Fi Brother. I'm 73 years old and will not go out by myself on Camping, Hiking and or Fishing

Another well done video and review. Great place to hang out. Thanks for the reviews and God Bless. Take care, Al
