I was a diehard hammock camper for a few years. That was before I dropped dime on a Duplex and a Tensor pad. The hammock is so comfortable but the extra room in the tent is worth the sacrifice. Plus the Duplex is bombproof, and I can set that beast up in under 5 minutes. Yeah a tarp can go up pretty quick, but with the Duplex you got your full shelter set up in the same time.

Always luv watching your videos man! I gotta add my 2 cents tho, and say that I really hope that Altra keeps the Timps a more narrow shoe because they’re the only Altras I can wear. I have a more narrow foot and I was able to really lock down my forefoot in that shoe. I have spoken with a bunch of other hikers that have narrow feet and they’ve really enjoyed that shoe as well. Unfortunately the Lone Peaks were just too wide and I found that they got too floppy over time, and the Timps’ quantic midsole really changed the game for me.

Love the gear video esp the Hammock and Tent options, I also have both (rocking the BA). Out of curiosity I added the weights of the Hammock (Tarp, Ham+Sus, UQ, Stakes) at 1203g and the Tent (Pad, Tent, Stakes and 1 Pole) at 1146g so a difference of 57g or 2oz (did not count TQ as that is a wash). They seem pretty close... now I added the 1 Pole because you do not need them for the Hammock (yes I know Porch mode) but you HAVE to have One for the Plex. Food for thought, now if I can only wrap my mind around a trail bidet :)

If you want to spend a little extra on a t-shirt, the REI store brand of wool t-shirts are pretty nice. Full price is lower than most name brands, and if you have time to watch for sales, you can get one for $35. I picked one up on sale for backpacking this year, and find it very comfortable. wool definitely gets less stinky than synthetics after 3 days.

I must sleep on my side or else I get sleep apnea on my back (I just don't get deep sleep as my air way closes off and have to come out of deep sleep to open my air way etc), so I have a nice thick air pad, but I want to try the hammock route but I have no where around my area that sells hammocks so I have to buy online. Whats the best lightest 'Dream Hammocks' brand hammock you would recommend for a 6ft male around 160 pounds, is there a specific model, length, width and weight of fabric you would recommend? I must be able to sleep 'straight' on my side in it. I can't sleep in the normal jungle style hammocks as they force me onto my back and even then they hyper extend my knees etc it was horrible. I need to sleep flat on my side. Would really appreciate the help. I emailed them but didn't get a reply, I think they are short staffed at the moment so probably too busy. I also hear the Warbonnet Blackbird model is good for side sleeping too? but I'm sure you've done your homework on them and decided Dream Hammocks are better? Thanks

So Dream Hammock had a family member pass away recently that's why they are behind, terrible and unexpected. For a hammock here's somethings to look for. You're 6 foot, get an 11 foot hammock with a wide fabric. The lightest fabric they sell that would accommodate you will be a 1.2 MTN XL fabric. Take a look at the fabric : dreamhammock.info/fabrics/fabrics.html You'll want a fabric that has a max fabric width of 65" or more. The wider the fabric the flatter the lay BUT the bigger the tarp you will need to cover yourself. Hope that helps buddy! I used to use Warbonnet but they recently limit the fabric choices and I've shyed away from them. You just missed a 10% discount code for Dream Hammock that I gave my subscribers!

Hey, speaking of electronics... did you see the DJI Osmo 2? I think that's a GOPRO killer but wondering if your going to test one.

I see that the rumors were true. Waiting to see some reviews the. I'd be all about it at least for cold trips. We shall see. I did just get that new camera though.

I just hope you never shave off that magnificent beard to cut 1.7 oz of self respect off your base weight. It was so hard watching hammock gear reviews from a 12 year old.

Ive ripped trash compactor bags… meanwhile my same nylofume bag has been going strong for 500+ miles and ~25 days. Id say for a long trip u should still stick w the nylofume :)

So when I used nylofume on my thru hike it leaked on 3 occasions. Water was sitting at the bottom of the nylofume bags. I correctly sealed it but after submerging in water I found air bubbles coming out of the seam. My pack an zpacks arc haul at the time and it was quite cold and rainy. My topquilt was on the bottom of the pack and it would have been a crappy few days had I not also had my underquilt from my hammock. I was sleeping in the shelters of the smokies at the time.

@@FrozensAdventures interesting! Ive even used the nylofume in BWCA where it was fully submerged once or twice... bone dry inside. I was using a GG Kumo so not waterproof pack. Goes to show the importance of redundancies(anything can fail)
