Guys we did it

As a plot twist we were supposed to be assigned that campground (Bridge Bay) at Yellowstone. You know, where that old guy got yeeted over a bisons head. The people lost our reservation so we were assigned a campsite 20 miles away.
Phew.

Surrounded by soybean fields on one side and a creek/lake on the other this was an amazing Hipcamp that we stayed at. The description of the Hipcamp completely understated how awesome this location is. My husband used his Haven Spectre and I used my beautiful blue Haven XL.

We were able to hang our hammocks right on the edge of the bank. According to the HipCamp host, the oak tree we anchored to was between 200 - 300 years old. They call this a creek, but my vision of a creek is not this because it is so big. But it does drain into the Tennessee River, so I guess it is?

Anyway, it had so many Lily pads off in the distance and you could hear frogs start at one location and then stop, and then another location would start. We also heard barred owls, ducks, and various water creatures echo over the creek. And as I was packing up, a cute River otter cruised by. Just an amazing amazing weekend hanging there.

Hey everyone,

Looking to upgrade my setup to an 11-12ft for multi day trips and was looking for any UK based recommendations for a hammock. Seems to be that people dislike DD hammocks for some reason and swear by onewinds but I don't want to overlook other options. I don't think a lot of the hammocks mentioned in other posts are sold in the uk or have expensive shipping.

Looking to buy once and thank myself, so any budgets are appreciated. Please also tell me of any sites that are good for this hobby. EU recommendations would also be helpful

Thanks

Hello everyone I’m just getting into backpacking and have been buying up items, I already have a camping hammock with a rain cover and wanted a nice quilt to sleep with that’s reasonably priced (preferably about $100 to 200). I’m not planning on camping in the cold right now I’m not going to get an under quilt just yet, since I plan on using it in hotter summer temps soon and will purchase that separately if needed. Thank you for any suggestions you can provide!

Anyone familiar with or recommend campsites on the eastern US with hammock shelters or dedicated posts for hanging? Bonus for State campgrounds.

Hello,

I have a semestr in Taiwan coming, want to kinda exploit the situation and travel as much as I can while being there.

Besides Taiwan I was thinking of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines - renting a bike and going for a ride around the coutryside/hills/beaches (im not into urban stuff, more of a nature dude)

All that is probably going to cost a fortune so I am thinking of cutting expenses and being able to not need to pay for rooms to stay in seems like a good option.

I camped quite a bit in tents before, but lately I've been checking out hammocks and am intrigued. Hammock could feel better in the tropical and humid environment, right?

If hammock is the way, should I buy from a european manufacturer or wait to Asia? And what do you recommend?I am 197 cm/6,5 feet

Thank you very much!
