6 Reasons You Will Love Hobo Hammocks

So, you are shopping for a hammock and you are not quite sure which one to purchase.  Here are 6 reasons you will love Hobo Hammocks:

—————————–

1. Hobo Hammocks is company with a HUGE heart.

They help feed the homeless.  They are very active in their community. Every time you buy a Hobo Hammock, Hobo Hammocks helps to feed someone who is homeless.  YOU, you awesome camper, is helping a homeless person when you purchase a Hobo Hammock.

The Best Instructional Video for Tying a Guy Line for Your Tent

May 24, 2022 by Jason Clements

Tying a Guy Line for Your Tent

Guy Line Tensioner
Guy Line Tensioner

If you have never set your tent up before, practice a few times at your house.

In the off-chance that you finally roll into your campsite at 2am and it is raining, you will be able to set up your tent without additional stress.

Another camping tip is to always know where your head lamp is; especially if there is any possibility of you arriving at your campsite after dark.

That guy-line tensioner is a life saver because it keeps your tent secure and it keeps a little bit of the wind noise down.

Wind can whip at your tent and wake you up if you don’t secure it properly.  Knowing the basics of tying a guy line for your tent will help you have a more relaxed camping experience.

Step By Step Instructions for Setting Up Your Guy Lines

  • Sort your guy lines and untangle them
  • Use a simple hitch to tie the free end of the guy line to the tent loop
  • Attach the guy line loop to the tent stake
  • Use the guy-line tensioner to keep your tent lines taut
  • In windy environments, check the tensioner DAILY and adjust accordingly

Total viewing time:  3 minutes

Breaking Down Your Tent at the End of Your Trip

  1. If you have dew or rain, allow your tent to dry before packing it up.  If that is impossible, YOU MUST remember to allow your tent to dry when you get back home.  You run the risk of mold and mildew if you pack away a wet or damp tent.
  2. While the tent is still assemble, open one door and pick up the tent.  Shake your tent vigorously to cause any sand, dirt, or debris to fall out of the open door.
  3. Your tent does not need to be rolled up perfectly.  Use the stuff sack.  It literally means for you to stuff your tent in the sack.  Pack it down to the bottom to ensure that the tent, ground cloth, and rain tarp fit.

I use the very affordable Zephyr 2 by ALPS.  It is marketed as a two-man tent, but it works better as a car camping one-man tent.

Should A Beginner Stuff Roll Or Fold A Tent

November 28, 2015 by Jason Clements

Should a beginner stuff roll or fold a tent short termShould a beginner stuff, roll, or fold a tent for short-term storage?

What do you think?  What works for YOU?

I subscribe to the STUFF method for short-term storage of my tent.

Specifically, I  use this method on my way from home to my campsite (and back from campsite to home) or when traveling between campsites.  For long-term storage, you should hang your tent in a closet or storage area.

In this video, under the most ideal conditions – where the tent is completely dry and I have everything disassembled – I compare stuffing to rolling / folding a tent to put it away.

So, what do you think?  Should a beginner stuff, roll, or fold a tent?

Not surprisingly, both methods work nearly equally as well.

  • The STUFF method takes approximately 50 seconds.
  • The FOLD method takes approximately 95 seconds.

Take a look:

As usual, make sure that your tent is dry.

How To Store Your Expensive Sleeping Bag

November 24, 2015 by Jason Clements

How To Store Your Sleeping Bag Close Up Label

Learn how to store your expensive sleeping bag by reading the labels on your sleeping bags

This label is from my Eureka Casper sleeping bag.  Notice their suggestion to:

  • For Long Term Storage, Hang Bag By Loops At Foot
  • Do Not Leave Bag In The Compression Stuff Sack For Long Periods Of Time

And, I like to add:

  • Ensure That Your Sleeping Bag Is Completely Dry

Hanging Loops On Sleeping BagDon’t feel bad if you didn’t know what those loops are.  I didn’t know what those loops were for the first many times I went on climbing trips.  I had to ask, “Hey, what are these things?”

Here’s a quick 1 minute video showing how easy it is to store your expensive sleeping bag.  I store my sleeping bags on a hanger because I use a Portable Closet to store all of my tents, sleeping bags, and off-season clothing.  This is what works for me.  You may find something else that works for you.  If you have a different system, share in the comments.

Well, one thing is for certain — you must maintain your sleeping gear as you would any other gear.  It is important.

Brew A Better Cup Of Coffee At Home And Outside

November 22, 2015 by Jason Clements

Jake GwinnThis is a guest post by Jake Gwinn.

Question:  What kind of person keeps a coffee tasting journal? 

Answer:  A coffee expert.

Jake Gwinn is a coffee expert.

HCRB:  Why should anyone listen to you about coffee?

Jake:  I have worked in several different coffee shops over the course of 5 years and have gone through several coffee training courses — that’s in addition to the training I received while working in coffee shops. Nowadays I mostly roast my own beans and experiment with different brewing methods.Jake Gwinn Coffee Expert

HCRB:  What is one thing that everyone can do, right now, to brew a better cup of coffee?

Jake:  Stop getting your coffee at the grocery store! These days there are local roasters all over the place. Finding better or fresh beans is the first step in the right direction. Not only are you getting a better bean, but you are getting a finely crafted product that is supporting your local businesses. If you don’t have a local roaster, a lot of roasters make it possible to order freshly roasted beans online. Good beans are the best step you can take right now.
