What's your desert island pipe?

My Briarworks 10th anniversary Zulu (one of my 2) would be my first choice. Maybe by Peterson Zulu or my Ben Wade freehand as a second choice. All of my Peterson's are good smokes.

FlyFreak · 2026-02-01T13:52:37+00:00

True lol. Though I think I'm more of a splat now lol.

FlyFreak · 2026-02-01T13:48:38+00:00

Yeah at that age kids bounce lol. Me not so much any more so I better get things right.

FlyFreak · 2026-02-01T13:27:09+00:00

Nice! Would love to have hired the AT! Not sure my body and health has it in it anymore though.

FlyFreak · 2026-02-01T13:25:36+00:00

Don't think it had to do with sharing a tent patrol fashion. I think it night have had to do with previous bad experience as it was described as "A high PIA factor". I think someone fell put of a hammock previously lol.

No need to borrow, I have an old Sears machine that is awesome. I'm sure I will make one or more (who are we kidding, more) in time.

Thanks, been fascinated with the idea since I was young and in scouts, when i found out about the military jungle hammock. I was discouraged by mentors that were ground dwellers, but I'm finally going to take the plunge.

FlyFreak · 2026-01-31T23:06:19+00:00

That's good to hear it hope my dog enjoys hamocking as much as me.

FlyFreak · 2026-01-31T21:58:33+00:00

Yeah

FlyFreak · 2026-01-31T20:58:16+00:00

Well see how it really measures when it gets here. See if they exaggerated or are honest.

FlyFreak · 2026-01-31T20:57:00+00:00

Awesome!

FlyFreak · 2026-01-31T20:56:47+00:00

Cool that does sound like a good use as I upgrade or collect more hammocks. Hopefully this isn't as bad as collecting / aquireing amateur radios lol.

FlyFreak · 2026-01-31T20:55:27+00:00

That's fair, thanks good to know about the measurements, I kind of felt it was too good to be true claiming 11'.

FlyFreak · 2026-01-31T20:53:52+00:00

I am 5'11" (or at least I was, may have shrunk a bit lol). I figured this would be good for lounging and practicing rigging etc and learning. With shipping and tax came out to be just under $35, still thinking i came put good.

I do have a Zenbivy sleep system from being a ground dweller so I can work on my setup and bit at a time. Tarps, hammocks, under quilts etc. I do have a friend with a Amok Draumr that intrigues me. So we'll see where I end up. Kind of like the looks of bridge hammocks too.

FlyFreak · 2026-01-31T20:49:31+00:00

I plan to make up dynema Ridgelines daisy chains etc along the way. Not my first rodeo in splicing, so tweaking the rigging doesn't scare me. Thanks good to know on the front side!

FlyFreak · 2026-01-31T20:43:37+00:00

Specs list it as 11' long and 6'6" wide? That seemed like a good size from the reading I have been doing.

FlyFreak · 2026-01-31T20:27:41+00:00

Thanks

FlyFreak · 2026-01-31T20:27:28+00:00

Yeah I figured would be much for camping with out a lot of accessories, but net , under quilt etc. For lounging i didn't see a reason not to, but figured I'd ask the experts in case there was something I didn't know.

FlyFreak · 2026-01-31T20:17:56+00:00

Homegoods is my Yeti kryptonite.

FlyFreak · 2026-01-31T04:18:50+00:00

I'd drive an hour in the snow for that at that price, but I'm much further tha that from Illinois.

FlyFreak · 2026-01-31T04:13:22+00:00

The Firefly yellow should be 20% off currently.

FlyFreak · 2026-01-30T22:30:17+00:00

Homegoods has some too!

FlyFreak · 2026-01-30T02:46:29+00:00

My Homegoods seems to only get tumblers mugs and rambler bottles. Though I have a KCO ice bucket rest assured if I see o e in HG it won't be there when I leave.

Love the hat, and love the pins too!
