We saw two black bears and thousands of hungry, theiving chipmunks. At about 7,000 feet, it was cool weather and no mosquitoes! It was so beautiful, we didn't want to leave. We did some hiking and biking and even a little climbing, but mostly we stayed in the hammocks.

A fun festival with tons of bicycling to be done and tons of fun events like the "mud bog" and the bunny-hop contests, the jump jam featuring the Sinsiter team, bands, food, and lots of rain and mud. We hammock-camped at the show behind our truck, and boy, were we glad to have the rain fly! Maybe next year we'll have the courage to camp on "Whiskey Hill" with the hardcore mountain-bikers.

Hi Trina,
I've used your rain fly on several outings already and it's become one of my favorite pieces of equipment. The size of the rain fly easily covers the entire one person hammock and protects a large enough area from the elements that I can place my touring bike on the ground under the hammock and not worry about it being exposed to the elements. It's size and weight are almost insignificant; in fact I can carry it in one cargo pocket, and the hammock in another when I'm hiking.
The price is by far the best I've seen. Your website lists the rain fly at $48.50. Similar fast and light products, like the Mountain Safety Research Trekker Wing ($200.00) and caribiners Expedition A-sym Hammock ($119.00) are a lost more, without having much to justify their costs.
The quality appears top notch as well. The tie down cords are sturdy and haven't frayed or come unspun during my use. The rain fly itself is durable despite its light weight so that I never have to worry about protection from the rain and wind.
One one occasion I had to stop hiking and pitch camp right where I was or I would have gotten soaked from a sudden downpour. It only took me about one minute to have the rain fly tied off to some trees and staked to the ground, which then let me set up my hammock underneath it while staying completely dry. If I had been hiking with a tent it would have been about thirty minutes before I reached a place open enough to pitch it without being right in the middle of the
trail.
My only suggestion for the rain fly is to make the tie off cords longer. When used with the hammock and tree straps there's no problem because I can use the loops on the straps, or tie it off to the caribiners.
To set it up without the other two components someone would need to be in an area with a lot of narrow trees or find branches low enough to the ground to still allow the other two cords to reach the ground to be staked in. I haven't encountered this as a problem myself; and it's really the only improvement I could think of making on your excellent rain fly. I know it's meant to compliment your hammocks (which are perfect), but if it could stand alone it would be a very competitively priced warm weather shelter for those in the ultralight backpacking community. Keep up the great work.
Thanks again,
Michael

Hey Peter,
The hammocks have continued to be great on the trip. We have been talking more and more about throwing away the tent. We thought that we might not have many places to use the hammocks in Kansas (this is our second day riding in it) but it turns out that most of the towns on the route let bikers camp at city parks, which all have gazebos that are perfect to hang the hammocks on and they also provide rain cover, though it hasn't rained in a while. It's been up in the 100's the last couple of days, but it's supposed to cool off tomorrow.
-Ben

Welcome to the Treehugger Hammocks Blog. Hopefully, I'll get some cool pictures and stories up to let you know where we've been, where we will be, and what we liked best. I will also post photos and stories from your trips and adventures. Please send them to: trina@treehuggerhammocks.com, and I'll get them up as soon as I can.
To give you a little background info, Treehugger Hammocks has been in business since 2002.
When we first bought a Treehugger Hammock in July of 2004, we had no idea we'd be buying the company a year later, but the hammocks were just so great we couldn't resist. David and Louise, the original creators, did an amazing job researching the industry and refining the Treehugger Hammock to the point that we believe it's the best hammock in its class. We remain friends, and they're still involved, putting up with all our questions. Since then, we have been working from our home in Asheville, NC and traveling part-time going to festivals and expos around the country. Fun!
Hope you enjoy!
Trina and Peter
