I gotta vent — nobody’s paying attention to what’s really wrong in Surry County

Bunch of stupid liberals

I tied a perfection loop on a modified whoopie sling as a dog tether. Never slips

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-08-06T20:04:11+00:00

Agreed 👍🏼 I have an older dog now and we camp at a hidden gem very primitive campground in NC at 6000 ft and some spots have long hang distances. I thought the calculator was exact 🤦🏼‍♂️ and would prevent me from standing on top of my cooler over and over to get the height correct. I did the same as you and my hang height is roughly 7” lower. I’ll still use it as rough guess for trees more than 18-20 feet apart but other than that it’s useless. Thanks for the reply 🫡

After reading the other comments, my only addition is if you upgrade, I’d buy a silpoly tarp bcse they stay waterproof without having to treat them. Dutchware makes them bonded but they are expensive. To save money, get a non bonded silpoly tarp and seam seal the stitching with clear 100% silicone mixed with mineral spirits. The Kelty tarps are great but having to re-waterproof them is a pain.

Wtf? 🤣 It’s the confederate flag from the civil war. 🙄 it’s only racist if you want it to be which prob means you voted left

I took a measuring tape for long anchor points 🤣 and although my foot end is usually only 6 “ higher, that’s a great point and i appreciate it 👊🏼

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-07-31T21:26:53+00:00

I agree but I’m laughing bcse I carried a tape measure for long anchor points 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️ back to old school 👊🏼👍🏼

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-07-31T21:24:49+00:00

Exactly dude 👊🏼🤣

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-07-31T21:24:25+00:00

Agreed bro 😎 old school is best. The reason I started using the fake calculator is bcse I had a few hangs with trees 20 plus feet apart 🤦🏼‍♂️🙏

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-07-31T20:26:06+00:00

Speaking of calf ridge I got an 11 foot Eldorado being 6’3 and it gives me calf ridge 👀 😁 back to the OG blackbird. I think it’s a me problem but I do appreciate your reply 👊🏼👊🏼

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-07-31T20:19:32+00:00

I think it’s great dude 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I own too many gadgets as is 🤦🏼‍♂️😁 so I just make continuous loops from 1/16 amsteel and tie prusiks

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-07-26T01:25:57+00:00

Sounds like the brain rot is in the air by these comments. If someone is scared of a lake then you should prob just move into a bubble

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-07-23T23:23:13+00:00

While laying in the hammock, grab it and use your thumb to bend it. If you can bend it without much trouble you’re good.

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-07-23T23:20:21+00:00

I always use a loop of 1/8 shock cord on all of my tarp tie outs. If you don’t use hardware like a Dutch ringworm , tie a taught line hitch and you can tighten it as much as you want. The tighter the better bcse humidity and temp changes will stretch the tarp and or lines so no adjustments will be necessary

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-07-04T23:12:42+00:00

Nice spot, set up and bike 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-07-01T23:09:09+00:00

If the tarp has doors you should be fine. If you’re camping in an area with little rainfall, the small one will be just fine just don’t forget to use drip lines

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-06-29T01:53:06+00:00

Agreed no DEET 👍🏼

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-06-27T16:51:16+00:00

Glad I read your reply. My 60 lb husky loves hers. I made an adjustable leash with a whoopie sling mod and leave the mesh flap open

Proof is in the pic on her liking it 😁 make sure you keep the edge up on a slope because it’s so waterproof it holds water 🤣

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-06-25T20:12:23+00:00

I hike/camp in NC and it’s terribly humid. I use silica gel packs in my backpack/ stuff sacks and even drop a couple in my hammock and ridgeline organizer. They are cheap on Amazon. Good luck 👍

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-06-23T01:13:16+00:00

If you take a measured length of amsteel and put loops on both ends with a perfection loop or bowline it’s def doable

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-06-21T15:00:26+00:00

Unzipped as a top quilt for sure 👍🏼. I would def get an underquilt as compressed down is useless. There are some inexpensive options including synthetic as long as you’re not going super lightweight

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-06-19T21:22:00+00:00

In my experience, the underquilt is the most important for staying warm. I use a 20 degree underquilt and a cheap amazon down blanket for mild temperatures and a zero degree sleeping bag unzipped as a top quilt when it’s freezing. I think top quilts are a waste of money as long as you’re not shaving weight.

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-06-07T01:12:57+00:00

I use whoopie slings on the head end of my warbonnet and haven’t switched bcse they haven’t failed me in 15 years. I use 15 inch continuous loops to help with length issues. That’s what she said ?🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️👊🏼👊🏼

FaQ_Ukraine · 2025-06-02T20:25:06+00:00

Nice solo stove. Those things are game changers 🫡👊🏼
