Rustys got the mat idea right. Most hammock guys will tell you a mat is necessary in cold weather... Hammock Forums : Your Number One Hammock Community Hope i'm not breaking any rules by linking to another forum. Good luck!

For what it's worth- I emailed both Coleman, and Texsport about their propane trees. (I sit behind a desk all day so i figured, why not?) Anyway, here is what I sent them: Coleman sent back: and Texsport sent back: Anyway, when the time comes, I'll try out the Coleman.

Ya there are two styles that i have found... One that clamps down onto the shroud on a standard tank, and uses a hose to connect for the gas, (ie century tool) and one that uses a hard mount type gas connection, with the adjustable "stabilizer" (ie coleman, texsport, etc)... Sounds like...

Ya the prices are all over the place on these. Uhaul has the 20's for $69, but the 10's are $85... Cascade Outfitters will let you have your pick- for $100!?!? and .PDF's...

Ya, the light weight is mainly what I was worried about. Talked to them this morning and apparently the base on the 10#'ers is bigger around than the base on the 20#'ers. They sent me the technical drawnings (CAD?). i'd post them but they're .PDF's and i'm not sure how that would work...

Hey guys, quick question about 10# tanks and camping... Anybody using a 10# tank and with a lantern "tree?" I need to get a new tank and don't feel like i need the 20 #'er, but i'm a little worried about the tall, skinny 10# tank tipping over with a lantern 5 feet off the ground. I'm...
