****SALE PENDING****

Like new Hennessy Ultralight Backpacker, regular length, velcro bottom entry, stock rigging and tarp.

Rigged about a dozen times in the back yard, actually used only twice!...

Ohhhhh. OK. Thanks.

My ads are old enough now that I don't think anyone would notice anyway. However, I'll be posting new ads soon.

Thanks,
Kerry

Hi all,

Just wondering how you guys change a thread title from "F.S." to "Sold", and the like... I'd like to be able to do that...

Thanks,
Kerry

Come on! This is a good deal on a cool hammock!

Someone's gotta be interested!!??!?!!

Kerry

Wingnut,

Reply PM sent. Let's see if we can work something out! If you're a solo camper, I think you'll like hammocking...

Kerry

They are both Velcro bottom entrance. I'm gonna ad this info to the original post...

FOR SALE:

Hennessey Ultralight Backpacker Hammock, bottom entry Velcro closure, stock.

I have 2 of these for sale.ONE SOLD! I HAVE ONE LEFT!

Rigged several times in the back yard, slept in...

This post replaces my earlier post; these things are now 'parted out', as opposed to offered as a single unit, as the original thread was titled. It was pointed out to me that the old thread title...

Yeah, sorry about that! Guess I miss-remembered what I had. I'll let you know if the current sale falls through.

Kerry

The brighter 'leaf green', rather than the more current 'olive-ish drab-ish'.

Thanks,
Kerry

Hi Dragon,

PM replied to.

Thanks,
Kerry

Cool! One Shennandoah sold, one left. I'm going to edit the original ad to refelct this.

Thanks!
Kerry

Hi all,

I'm breaking the stuff up for individual sale.

See the edited original ad for pricing.

Thanks,
Kerry

They're 800 fill.

Thanks,
Kerry

Will do.

I really hope to get rid of it all in one fell swoop, though.

Probably not realistic.

Thanks,
Kerry

Hi Bigfoot,

I'M CREATING A NEW POST FOR THE REMAINING GEAR, WITH A MORE APPROPRIATE TITLE, THIS ONE IS NOW VOID


I currently have (ground conus included):

Hennessey ULB, stock: $130 each (I have 2 of...

It all adds up!

Once you've made your primary weight reduction, whatever that ends up being based on your needs, wants, skills and budget, all that's left are small reductions on SEVERAL pieces of...

OneThing,

I have a HH ULB and a Nest, which I haven't used on the trail yet, defaulting, instead, to (what I consider) my more fail-safe ground setup (Ray Way tarp and quilt). I just haven't been...

One of my first hammock camping experience was with a windshield reflector pad. Biked out 30ish miles in the evening, camped at a random spot in the woods. It got pretty cool that night, probably...

I'm a frequent ground dweller (when I need/want to go as light as possible by sharing shelter and quilt with my wife), who always uses a quilt. Even before I knew about quilts, I preferred to drape...

This little 'dirty secret' of the (larger commercial) hammock industry was quite a little shock when I first slept in my hammock, on a 'warm' summer eve. The initial draw for the uninitated is...

Golly! You sure are a warm sleeper. I don't consider myself a cold sleeper, but I sure do need something under me!

Kerry

Looks like I'm gonna have to just get a pad and spend some nights in the back yard; find out where my own limits are, and have my wife do the same.

Knowing that I get chilly on the bottom side...

Hmmm. I was afraid you'd say that.

My Ray Way pack is 2,600 CI, probably a little small for such a pad. I suppose the pad could be cut a tad narrower, and tapered as well. I'll probably just have...

There are certainly a few reputable folks who claim to observe this breakdown of down over time. Ray Jardine comes to mind. But, seems like there are many others who've had no issues, so I don't...

Thanks!

I like your resourcefulness regarding the bag and leaves!

Looks like I'll have to try the GG pad, cut to fit.

My pack has no foam (Ray Way), so I'm not sure what I'll do for the legs...

Yeah, I was wondering if the smaller pads were more prone to placement/slipping problems, and I was thinking the larger pad would offest some of that; certainly how it sounds here. I'm hoping, the...

Hi all,

I'm trying to solve the bottom insulation issue on my Hennessy ULB. I'm only looking to get comfy down to, say, 50ish, for now; most of my trips are midwestern summer trips, where 50's are...

Yeah, that's a good point; I probably don't need much down for my current 50+ night time temps, so it might be worth considering.

Still more than I want to spend at the moment. While I've had the...

Hmmmm....

Guess I don't wanna do the double layer thing; I'm already freaked out about the significant weight gain of my Hennessy ULB over my Jardine-style ground setup.

The weight of the...

I'm definitely looking to avoid shoulder chill. I'm hoping that the wider 1/4" thick pad will adequately solve this issue...

Kerry

I'd say I'm a 'moderate' sleeper, neither cold not hot.

40deg is probably cooler than I'm likely to see for most of my current hiking locations, so it sounds like those pads might work well for my...

Hi all,

I'm trying to solve the ubiquitous under-hammock-insulation issue for my Hennesy ULB.

While I have a JRB Nest, I don't like the weight, bulk, 'exposed' down (using a JRB 8x8 tarp,...

The problem with suspending the pad under the hammock is getting the pad to conform to the 3-d ccurves of the hammock bottom. Any openings/buldges/wrinkles will let the otherwise trapped warm air...

Just to be sure we're on the same page, by skin-out, you mean everything for the trip including food, fuel, and water on the scale, and you naked (but not on the scale, of course!), the weight is 11...

When you folks make hammock pads out of these 3/8ish thick blue pads, how do you handle the large packspace required for packing them??

I made some Sgt. Rock 'wing pads' this way, but found they...

Definitely, things get tough for hammocks when 2 people share all the gear. I'm trying to figure that out for my wife and I right now. For the past few years we've used ground setups at a total of...

I'll certainly switch to Whoopie slings. Pretty cheap, far easier, looks like, and probably a lot lighter than the Spectra stock cords.

I have a Fosters caldera, everything fits inside it. I don't think the Heiny does that, but maybe?

Consider making the Heiny pot and mug one and the same, and ditch your other mugs-- they're...

Do most of you rig your tarps on a separate line, abandoning the stock attachment?

Kerry

Hi all,

I'm quite new to hanging, but not to tarp camping. My wife and I have Hennessy Ultralight Backpackers, but haven't used them on the trail yet.

Has anyone actually been able to use the...

Thanks for the continued support/links/suggestions, all.

I may consider making a large hammock for 2, and see what that's like. My wife and I are pretty cuddly, but I'm not sure we're THAT...

Thanks for the links, all, good stuff.

Looks like if my wife and I are going to stay with (switch to, really, considering we returned to ground after our first heavy, bulky (becuase of the...

Hi all,

Some of you may have seen my intro post in the "Introduce yourself" forum, regarding sleep system weights (ground vs. hammock) for couples who share all gear.

Not being quite ready to...

That's a heckuva good skin-out! How many days of food and fuel does that include?

My (midewestern summer) skin-out (which I define as everything worn, and carried, including food and fuel, and a...

That's the issue: the tarp and quilt CAN'T be the same for 2 people when sharing gear, or, at least, I haven't found a good way to do so without being squished together constantly-- really, NONE of...

My current ground setup is a 8 x 10' Sil-ny tarp. I probably could figure out a way to rig both hammocks under it, but I'm not sure how comfy that'd be, with gravity pulling the 2 hammocks, and...

We're pretty cuddly, but I'm not sure we'd be able to stand a hammock together, particularly when it's really hot and humid.

What's a WBBB?

Kerry

My wife and I are 5'6" and 5'8" respectively. We really like sleeping next to eachother, and sharing warmth when it's cold. (Most of our hiking is summer, though, where warmth is not an issue). We're...
