    Alternatives to 303

    I've been using Mother's Back to Black for several years, never really liked what 303 did. I was also told to use a silicone grease for my latex gaskets by the service people at NRS when I was reconditioning an older dry top.

    Improved Thule Hullavator

    There have been a few mentions of the rubber stops on the bottom oilcanning the hull. I just loaded our yaks and they're going to be up there for awhile as we're nomadic and are currently leaving an encampment that we've been at for quite an extended stay. When I loaded them I adjusted the...

    Improved Thule Hullavator

    I was happy to get a set of Hullavators really cheap since my lady is to short to load her yak herself and I ended up doing all the loading. I agree w/ the issue of them being independent makes it challenging to lift them but my main problem is that the rubber part in the middle is starting to...

    Reflector Oven

    I have a different version of the GoSun. Not quite as portable as the one you link, but still compact compared to most solar cookers. It's definitely fast, about the same as a conventional oven if you have sun. The only real down fall is that it hold a much smaller amount of food compared to...

    Hammocks in Desolation Sound area?

I skipped over the Hennessy and got a Onewind double netless for my first camping hammock (11'×68") but not my first hammock, those were from my years in Central America were hammock life was the norm. Three years later...

    No Trees, No Problem - Hammock support solutions

    I'll see if I can dig up some better ones from one of my endless stream of treeless hangs. This is the one that is in my handheld at the moment. I do have a basic setup that is, once I've attached my tarp to the pole I'm using (I need to do that because the tarp requires more space than the...

    No Trees, No Problem - Hammock support solutions

    The SW desert and most of Florida's inland rivers, now working on more of it's coastal areas. Treeless hammocking is a bit of a norm for where I spend most of my time and I do it to excess, over 400 nights in a hammock outside in the last year and a half.

    No Trees, No Problem - Hammock support solutions

    Dang Cougar you need to get that Solo out and working! Get away from your lava rocks and use some sand stakes in the soft stuff. One of my tricks is that if the ground feels like it's not going to hold as well I angle the pole at lower angle. I've had it down to maybe 40°(?) Just enough that...
