Mine are 12 feet
:confused: How do I repair a small tear in noseeum netting?
Thanks in advance!
Lots of info on staying warm - which is what a pad is for - here

This thread is worthless without pictures. :rolleyes:
Poor sleep in a tent + Just Jeff's site + this place made me want to give it a try.
Darn! I'll be on a scout campout
I am in an Expedition. I may get a Jungle and just put this one in the scout auction at the end of the year, or let a guy that has done a great job borrow it each month. They all want to hang now.

Thanks guys. Big help. :)
So far my favorite is the 2questions zipper mod and Jeff's ring and strap system, but I'm pretty new at this with only one night in the HH and one in the Claytor.
We had 3 in hammocks on our last campout including me. I think we are going to get more over to the dark side as time goes on. Claytor makes a nice $40 hammock for those that can't sew.

I used my new Claytor mosquito hammock this weekend on a Boy Scout trip. I hung it with a descending ring & straps set up like the one on Jeff’s website and that worked well. Overall I got a much...
I got my hammock today and it is the old school design I asked for. :D
I'll sleeping in it tonight in the back yard.
One more thing I'm doing this weekend after we get back from skiing.
Gonna try to sew my first stuff sack. Hope I don't put a needle thru a finger.
I did it. :D
Edit - I used paypal and wow the donating member banner is up already. Sweet. I've gotten more than $10 worth of good intel from this place.
This was a good idea!
Some good info...
A little bit of water skiiing while it's still hot. :shades:
Too minimalist for me but here is a youtube that shows several ways to use a poncho as a tarp/tent.

Cavscout,
What kind of tarp is that grey/green one? Are those custom tie outs on the sides that allow for that set up or did it come like that?
I have two large 3x4m rain flys coming and with...
I was thinking of placing nylon over the cotton as an easy solution since well.... I can't sew very well....yet.
I had no idea the down was different from the down used in camping quilts. That...
Some backgrond...I'm a noob at this hammock camping stuff. I bought a HH that I used on my last trip with the boy scouts. I used it one night and my 13 year old used it the other. We both liked it...
Thanks all for the great answers. This place is just full of good info!
Down comforters are on sale 50% to 70% off at overstock.com
Can you cover one of these with water resistant material (or waterproof) to make a decet underquilt out of a twin comforter? :confused:...
I emailed them after I ordered in an effort to avoid a problem. Hope that works. I'm not looking for a two for one, I just want a easy access sleeve for the pad. The type with the zipper for the pad...
I ordered an expedition today online. I have a HH that my son has taken over :-) so I decided to try out a hammock that lets you slip the pad in the side. This thread and the zipper thread have me a...
Can't wait to see pics of the ZQ MacCat mod
That's my current system. I'm too chicken to cut the ropes and also scared to try to replace them. :D
This stuff is 900# rated, non stretch and is $0.17 per foot. Strong enough? 30 feet is $5.10 plus shipping of $2.77 for US mail. They have other more expensive shipping available but I'm not in that...
Thanks Grizz. I've tried a few searches and could not seem to find a place that sells all three. Your explanation is consistent with what I was thinking. These are components are just different...
Is there a one stop shop online to get the rings, webbing for straps and spectra cord all from the same place to save a little on the shipping? I'd like to rig my HH like Just Jeff's hanging in the...
I'm an assistant scoutmaster and I'll be bringing my new HH Asym Ultralight to the campout this week in an effort to bring our troop over to the darkside. I could not decide what to buy and just bid...
