Awesome info thanks. Looking at the Hoka Mafate Speed 2s right now. They look bad ass. Going to give the frogg toggs a shot, and once they fall apart, hopefully I'll come across a good town or put in...

Awesome info thanks. Looking at the Hoka Mafate Speed 2s right now. They look bad ass. Going to give the frogg toggs a shot, and once they fall apart, hopefully I'll come across a good town or put in...
Right on! Yeah I like multi-purpose items (like most people here...) and the summer sock does it. And I am definitely a little hesitant about having numerous down pieces, but at least it has a dwr...
Yeah I went with the 11' traveler. I'm on the cusp at 6' and everyone seems comfier with a bigger hammock. Hell, the thing is only 12oz so I didn't feel too bad about the extra oz or two. Happy to...
I think hammocking is really well suited to East coast (esp AT) hiking. When I'm ready for a ling term adventure out west, I will become a tent man.
I also have an 8' diameter yurt I built when...
I'm right at 6' and 150lbs
Well I just "caved" and did what I probably should've done a couple months back when I decided to commit to the hammock....
Now the proud owner of (when it arrives):

I hear you, man. I can't argue with that. By the time I add up costs of all these different pieces of equipment just to avoid an UQ/TQ set up, I will spend the same amount of money as I would...
Yeah I see what you're saying, but I hate reading for periods of time from a phone screen (like ive been doing on these forums... :-P ) If it comes down to it, I will just cut it and stick with a...
Still have a liner, which I am not sold on cutting yet, since it could be useful as a summer sleeping option when the Wiggys bag could act more as an UQ than a pod. Thoughts?

Good people,
I think I may go with a peapod set up with the Wiggys Ultralight center zip and get a Dutch Summer Sock which, in worst case scenario, could add a little boost to my temp rating if it...
Note to self definitely no go on the hotspot. The klymit hammock v insulated looks promising but doesn't seem to be reliable down to 30* temps since the reviews vary. Maybe the klymit hammock v...
Shrewd, I appreciate it! Thank you.
1) yeah I already had the Eno Doublenest and it seems like most hammock insulation setups can work with it, so I didn't bother going too deep into research,...
Where in Kentucky are you located? I'm currently on a house-sitting job in southern IN, about an hour and change from Louisville and will have to drive to Louisville to fly home on Monday. Would be...
Awesome, thanks for the gear lists. I am still biting my tongue on whether to throw down for the TQ/UQ set up. I know it would make my life a lot easier. And I already have a short thermarest z-lite...
Ok cool I'll get myself the squeeze. I have always had a hammock and have done most of my backpacking with it, so I thought I'd stick with it, explore hammockforums.net, and figure out a modest setup...
Dang ok. I saw the squeeze advertised but didn't think much of it. I did Maine on a 3 week section hike and the Mini treated me well, so I thought 'screw it, its cheap, light, worked well in the...
Hey y'all, thought I'd post my gear list for some feedback. Feeling pretty good about it. Thinking base weight will be 16-17lb after the rest of my uncalculated weights are added. Anything I'm...
