Tim and Emma take out the Superior Gear Hammock and give a quick overview of its features and highlights. What will it rate on the Buckley scale of judgement?
Dang, I saw the Warbonnet phone holder in this video. Oh well I know you like the Aldi Mangos. And Im super stoked to now own a Superior Gear Hammock and shelter Thank you Mr Buckley. 😀
@@BackpackingwithBuckley -30 a little over kill 🤣 wanted to use it here in MI never know what lake affect weather will be like in winter. I don't remember the material, but got the entire set!
It depends on his preferences but I can honestly say I've done my research Keith!! I'd be happy to give any advice. I chose Superior Gear for a lot of reasons but a big deciding factor was when a guy named Shug (youtube hammock guru) started using one regularly. It's SO comfy and easy!
It really takes some practice but I sleep so much better in one. I tend to wake up wit sore shoulders a lot in a tent. I definitely recommend giving it a backyard run for a few nights before investing!! Thanks for checking it out folks!!
That looks well cool.. love the simple rapid set up and guy line points with the buckles. Great idea!! Especially for those who are maybe not so good with knots etc. Love the under quilt built into the hammock too great idea. Do you know if they do a midge net? Here in the UK and especially if we travel to Scotland the midges are relentless if there is no wind haha. Thinking if they do maybe it could snap into those studs? 🤔 Great video bud!! ATB mate.... Chris
@@BackpackingwithBuckley Ahh cool!! I will try snd have a look for them and see if they will ship to the UK? I know air freight is a bit 'mad' at the moment but maybe when things settle 😊👍🏻👍🏻
@@BackpackingwithBuckley Cool thanks... Ill definitely check them out and do some research / enquire anyway does look a cool set up. Thanks again stay safe 👍🏻
I have the same-looking Superior Hammock I bought discount from Danny. My 12 foot diamond tarp is a little small. I like the simplicity of the diamond, but it is nice Danny designed the line tensioners & cords real nice, for they can get complex & expensive to outfit the tarp so everything works easy. I am looking at his 12 foot hex tarp. I have a WB Superfly, and it looks like Danny's door tarp is more simple with less hassle of cords.
It had some early design flaws (logo stiched in the tarp). I am pretty sure he has seam sealed that now though or glued it instead of sewing it. Other than that it is an amazing design and really versatile and simple to set up!
Thank you for including a picture of the kit in the stuff sacks, I could find no pictures of that elsewhere. I am 5 foot 10 and am kind of on the fence between ordering 10 or 11 feet long. Why did you chose to go with 11 feet ? How much heavier is it compared to the 10 feet ?
It is nice but it's an investment that I didn't make until I was sure I am officially committed to hammocks. They do ship overseas Kaat, but I am not sure how bad the shipping is. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review, I was gonna get the same package, but was wondering how tall are you? I'm 6f1 and was thinking about getting the 10ft long, but don't know if it will be too short for me
12" winter shelter is listed at 18oz. Is that w/guy lines and stakes? If not, what is the total wt.? If you don't mind. Or, is it better to just get a DCF shelter? Thanks
do you have pictures of what the hammock and the top quilt look like compared to a nalgene bottle by chance so i can get more of a better understanding of the size?
If it helps, the smaller stuff sack on the Thumbnail for this video is almost exactly the same size as a Nalgene bottle. Let me know if that helps! If it doesn't I can take a picture for you tomorrow!
Danny makes a 10 foot option and an 11 foot. I would think the 11 would work fine as Danny himself is over 6 feet and uses a 10. Thanks for the question!
You've never spent the night in a hammock. None of you damn Bohemian Adventurers 2.0 have!! I am sick and damned tired of you always talking about tents, tents, tents!!! 🤣
@@BackpackingwithBuckley First, we are Bohemian Adventures 1.0 AND 2.0.. you were 1.5 (Like that horrid Lion King movie no one saw) Second, yeah yeah.. you're right. I have never slept in a hammock. It's a point of pride really-hating something viscerally that I have NEVER TRIED!
It took about 8 weeks. When Shug put out his video, business spiked for them significantly. Well worth the wait!! I think they have done a lot of hiring and are maybe moving quicker now too.
This has got to be the best looking hammock setup I’ve ever seen! Thanks for showing it off for us!
It's an investment but well worth it!!
That's pretty neat! I like how the underquilt is built into it. That's a nice set-up. Thanks for the review!
It's the BEST (in my opinion). Thanks Karl!
Wow! That’s a sweet setup. Thanks to you I am on their site looking at upgrading my hammock setup.
Thanks Chris! I did my research for sure!! It is exactly what I wanted! Let me know if you pull the trigger or have questions pal!!
Dang, I saw the Warbonnet phone holder in this video. Oh well I know you like the Aldi Mangos. And Im super stoked to now own a Superior Gear Hammock and shelter Thank you Mr Buckley.
😀
Haha! Don't fret, friend. I lost that a long time ago. I think I only used it once! Good to have a new one.
Nice review, thanks for the information.
Appreciate it! I have a more recent one with the zippered bugnet design too.
@@BackpackingwithBuckley Great I am one week away from getting mine, and I am super excited to see reviews on it. Thank you
@@danielmarrero6014 Sweet!! What did you get for temp rating and materials?
@@BackpackingwithBuckley -30 a little over kill 🤣 wanted to use it here in MI never know what lake affect weather will be like in winter. I don't remember the material, but got the entire set!
@@danielmarrero6014 that's crazy! Let me know how you like it if you remember!
I’m not a hammock sleeper but my son is and I want to get him a legit hammock. The rest of his gear is good stuff though. I may look at this. Thanks.

3 years ago?!? Man, you were an early adopter! I'm a Superior gear noob.
I guess I didn't realize it's been that long! Lol
Not a hammock guy, but your presentation of that loft & other features sold me ...
Cool out-tro music too!

Thanks bud!! Had to give a nod to Prince and Minnesota!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley I pick up what you are laying down... CLEVER IDEA!
I never knew about integrated insulation. Great looking hammock
They are easy as pie to set up and no underquilt to adjust! Love these hammocks!
Awesome hammock Tim. ✌👍
When I spend money on big stuff it makes me nervous but this baby is a Cadillac!
That was a great review! We havent taken the hammock camping plunge yet!
It really takes some practice but I sleep so much better in one. I tend to wake up wit sore shoulders a lot in a tent. I definitely recommend giving it a backyard run for a few nights before investing!! Thanks for checking it out folks!!

It comes with a nice bug net. I forgot to mention that! It is fully removable and trust me, I will need it this spring! Thanks for watching!!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley Ahh cool!! I will try snd have a look for them and see if they will ship to the UK? I know air freight is a bit 'mad' at the moment but maybe when things settle 😊👍🏻👍🏻
@@theheightoflife I am not sure but im guessing they will ship anywhere!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley Cool thanks... Ill definitely check them out and do some research / enquire anyway does look a cool set up. Thanks again stay safe 👍🏻
@@theheightoflife I messaged them to see if they ship to you.

The weight for an 11 foot is minimal (a couple ounces). Mine are both 11 footers!
This looks like great gear! Too bad that shipments from the US are so expensive! Have a great day! Kaat
It is nice but it's an investment that I didn't make until I was sure I am officially committed to hammocks. They do ship overseas Kaat, but I am not sure how bad the shipping is. Thanks for watching!
Dang nice setup! When you went down to 19 with it, did you add an additional underquilt or was the integrated underquilt able to handle that?
Excellent question my friend! I was toasty without the extra underquilt!!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley impressive!
Pretty nice..
Thanks for the video brother
Thanks for watching bud!! I appreciate ya! I also appreciate you making me hungry all the damn time!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley lol
I have a nice hammock set up but getting the underquilt dialed in sucks. still haven't got it completely figured out.
What do you have? I have Eno gear too and it takes some practice but I still love my Eno even though they get a lot of hate.
@@BackpackingwithBuckley I have that outdoor vitals hammock and I also got a Warbonnet Eldorado. Still trying to get a feel for them.
Thanks for the review, I was gonna get the same package, but was wondering how tall are you? I'm 6f1 and was thinking about getting the 10ft long, but don't know if it will be too short for me
I'm 5'9" and I have the 11' version.

I have a dyneema now from Hammock Gear. It's really simple and probably 14oz ALL IN.

1:52 Could you provide the outside dimensions or volume in liters of all the items shown here?
6" by 14" packed for the hammock. About the same for the quilt.
Do you think the hammock is wide enough for a 6’4” dude? Thanks for the review.
Danny makes a 10 foot option and an 11 foot. I would think the 11 would work fine as Danny himself is over 6 feet and uses a 10. Thanks for the question!
Backpacking with Buckley Good to know, thank you.
Superior hammock
Thanks!
A nice rig!
This hammock looks amazing! If I were to ever try a hammock, this would be it. On a side-note: tenting is where it's at ;-)
You've never spent the night in a hammock. None of you damn Bohemian Adventurers 2.0 have!! I am sick and damned tired of you always talking about tents, tents, tents!!! 🤣
@@BackpackingwithBuckley First, we are Bohemian Adventures 1.0 AND 2.0.. you were 1.5 (Like that horrid Lion King movie no one saw)

How long did it take to for you to receive your order?
It took about 8 weeks. When Shug put out his video, business spiked for them significantly. Well worth the wait!! I think they have done a lot of hiring and are maybe moving quicker now too.
