Was up in bdub last weekend - Birch, Carp, Knife area. Second trip using my hammock, first trip for my son. It was cold, windy, rainy, snowy, sleety, and something that I now understand as gropel(sp). Basically ice beads. Anyway, slept comfortably and warmly with my down Cabelas boundarywaters bag and thermorest. I am totaly sold on hammocks...

Congratulations and welcome back. Nice pic. Thanks.

It is nice to be off the ground when it is wet. Bet the hot shower felt good.

nice, what size thermarest?

What's the make of those hammocks? Looks like the one on the right has some type of winter cover. Nothing beats a good hammock/tarp combo in the rain.

Right side is a Clark, maybe an NX-250?? No, wait, that is a Clark NX-150 and if my eyes don't deceive me it looks a lot like a Christmas present to Dad! ;)
The left looks like a Grand Trunk Skeeter Beeter.

Wow - impressive jcavenagh! You know your stuff, exactly right...

My thermarest is a bit wider than standard I think. I'm guessing 22" or so...

I gotta be honest...BDG posted in another thread that he got the Clark for X-mas, so that was a no brainer ... and the Skeeter Beeter says Grand Trunk right in the photo, so it's not exactly my expertise as much as my zoom function on the computer... ;)

What are the dimensions of that tarp?

Hey MP, just saw your question - sorry. It's about 10x12. I bought the silnylon material off ebay and had a sewing shop sew it in a tarp. Works great. Had it set up in a M shape over the two hammocks...

Nice. Did you have another tarp along just in case there were not correctly spaced trees?

I did. I could have use the factory tarp that came with my Clark. I also have a larger Kelty Noah that I could have used if needed. Good to have options.....
