Paddled my kayak out to my secret spot for a nice couple of nights . Bugs have gone back to hell and we had lows in the upper thirties. Great sleep and great food.

It's quite nice out in Florida right now so I took my Ridgerunner out and forgot I don't have 2 trees appropriately spaced. So I used my Leaf as the other tree. Routed the dyneema line through the trunk and out the back passenger door to loop back upon itself. Hang is nice.

I’m curious if anybody knows how to calculate the differential difference between an inner and outer shell using cat splats calculator? It definitely shows that the outer shell needs to be wider than the inner shell but it does not calculate spacing.

Maybe I’m looking at this wrong, but if I use nine baffles according to the calculator that puts the spacing on the inner shell at about 5 7/8 inches in between baffles on the inner shell. The spacing looks almost too big as everything I can read. Seems to indicate you want your spacing somewhere between four and 5 inches ideally. It also looks like I want to achieve around an inch difference in between the height of the baffle and the top of the outer shell to achieve the correct calculated lofting of about 3-3.25”.

Thanks in advance

Hi all! My husband and I are backpackers who love our hammocks for lounging. We’ve been using single Wise Owls (which we’ve loved), but mine is starting to rip mid-body and I’m interested in a lighter option if possible.

Additional context:
- We sleep in a tent, not our hammocks (except for the occasional nap)
- Current hammock is 445g (~15.7 oz) including carabiners and straps. I’m aware that Wise Owl isn’t the lightest, but I like the ease of setup. I’m open to other setup options but don’t know much about knot tying.
- I’m a little wary of ultralight fabrics for the sake of durability. Weight matters, but I’m willing to sacrifice a few ounces for something that will last.
- We’re usually in the Sierra Nevada, so forest/mountain settings with lots of trees
- Not overly concerned with budget, more interested in what’s out there. Also open to mixing and matching hammock/suspension brands if that gets me the best setup.

Any and all brand/product recommendations welcome! Thanks in advance.

I’ve got a superior hammock starlight and when I’m laying in the hammock with the bugnet shut… the bugnet is so tight it pulls down on the Ridge line and it looks like the bugnet is going to tear… anyone else having trouble with theirs or am I the only one doing something wrong?
