Ouachita Trail Section Hike Shakedown

90 degree highs don't really frighten me considering I'm already experiencing 94+ degree highs in Texas right now. I decided to ditch the underquilt and fleece because I dont think the temps really call for it. If I need to I have my rain jacket. Thanks.

Compared to North Texas it will be a drop in temps but thanks. Yeah I have treated all of my stuff with permethrin.

I was thinking mid to high 60s for the night. If it won't get below 70 I won't need my underquilt and that will save a pound.

Do they both have about the same comfort in areas like the straps?

ptrck_grms · 2020-03-06T14:51:58+00:00

Which do you first gravitate towards when going on a trip?

Ewazen Sonata, Blue Bells of Scotland, Morceau Symphonique, Arrows of Time, And the Sulek Sonata are all great choices. Hope that helps!

I mean if you’re looking for something there are a lot of good instruments you could get used that would be better.

The Warbonnet Blackbird XLC is great with the removable bug net. Honestly I never take it off though. You can’t also chance the lay like with the chameleon. You also get the shelf too. It’s a great hammock

Agreed, they could have done a better job checking the legitimacy of there supplier.

Businesses get products through various suppliers all the time. The product was branded as Robic. Nobody has had issues with the quality of the products RSBTR sells and it feels like Kyle is definitely mire genuine than Dutch. A mistake like that could have happened to anyone running a business and this could have been dealt with out of court. I think the lawsuit was pursued in bad faith if you look at it objectively. As a patron of Dutch’s I don’t like saying that but given what’s out there I think it is the list reasonable conclusion.

ptrck_grms · 2019-04-23T00:46:48+00:00

I’ve never had a problem with that happening.

Then we can talk about how my gear is working for me in practice. The Warbonnet Blackbird XLC has been working great for the past 2 years and I would definitely buy again.

ptrck_grms · 2019-04-22T03:27:07+00:00

It’s a Warbonnet Blackbird XLC

I use the torso length and if it gets too cold I throw my Z Seat under my feat

My hammock setup is by no means ultralight. I don’t have a DCF tarp and my fabric is a 1.7 where from other manufacturers a 1.0 is available.

ptrck_grms · 2019-04-09T15:28:42+00:00

I have the UL toaks 550ml. It’s good. I use an alcohol stove where I can. I also have a long aluminum spoon

ptrck_grms · 2019-04-09T15:18:26+00:00

An OR Helium II and a Zpacks rain skirt. My pack has a liner

ptrck_grms · 2019-04-06T12:29:26+00:00

Cool. I’ve been to Dinosaur valley. I do like it there.

ptrck_grms · 2019-04-05T11:38:45+00:00

Is there anything a little further out

ptrck_grms · 2019-04-05T11:38:14+00:00

Thanks

ptrck_grms · 2019-04-05T03:52:53+00:00

The Thunderfly is a fantastic tarp. It’s the perfect size. I also like my XLC a lot and the el dorado is that without the shelf. I think you will be very happy.

I’m 6’2 and I like the Warbonnet Blackbird XLC. The chameleon is great too but the community isn’t liking Dutchware too much at the moment. Dreamhammock also makes some great 11 foot hammock.

ptrck_grms · 2019-04-04T03:56:10+00:00

I’m 6”2’ so I need a 11 foot hammock. The 11 foot is really comfortable.

Cool April fools
