Hammock Help/Gear General

Anonymous Mon 19 Feb 2018 07:44:11 No.1207452 View View Reply Original Report

Heya sc/out/s,

I'm looking for suggestions from any hammock campers out there. On my last alpine hike my hammock tore pretty much in half for some reason, probably lack of care/overuse after a year of owning it. Looking for suggestions for a new one.

Since i'll be doing shopping could do with any general gear suggestions, you guys picked up anything recently you thought was really useful?

Well OP I'm actually done with /out/ gearfaggotry for awhile these days (I have errything I need †bh), just one camera lens to get that I intend to buy next month and I'm more or less done.

BUT I will say this - after you're done hammock camping hang your hammy up for at least a day or two - if it was rainy, snowy, or super yumid you want to hang it up at least a couple days to dry. Make sure it's absolutely 100% dry before you pack it away and store it. Othewrise it will grow mould or mildew, start to stank, or more importantly the fabric can be compromised. In other words, if you don't want another hammock to rip apart underneath you make sure you store that shit dry!

(not imblyin you stored your last one while it was still moist, it just reminded me of how important this point is).

Yeah dude, take care - don't fold it wet and try not to smoke in it. I have my hammock for like almost 3 years of use and didn't do any upkeep of it. It's made by parachute cloth and ropes and so it's very tough.
I would give you a link, but.. I'm in Bulgaria. Anyway I posted picture. :)

Just look for the "parachute" type. I got mine for 45 BGN and for one time we were smoking too much weed and we couldn't get out of it because it was tied 5 meters on a tree. Se there were 3 of us in the hammock for a few hours high as fuck and getting hit the paranoia that the hammock will snap. That is about 240kg of weight and the producer says: "aah... don't go above 400".
I've seen many expensive as fuck hammocks snap with just 2 ppl on top of it..

Who sets up a ridgeline with their hammock? I don't, but the more I go /out/, the more I'd like to have a consistent shape each time I hang up.

anyone got any anecdotes?

Ive done it. Didn't even do research when i did it just tied some thickish rope so I could get a consistent sag. I like it, makes setting up a little faster and everything still fits in the hammocks bag. Plus convenient spot to hang a headlamp and things you want easily accessible.

I was a trendy dipshit and got one of the eno doublenest hammocks about 3 years ago, It's seen a lot of use and abuse and It still holds strong. I like it alot but if I were to buy something new I would try and find a longer hammock, for now I make sure I stuff some shit under my lower back

What’s the best setup for UL? I’ve been looking at UL tents but figured I should succumb to the hammock lifestyle
