I'm wondering what everybody's experiences has been camping in urban areas? I used to do a bit of hitchhiking with my hammock, and sometimes it would be a real headache decided where to hang for the...
:D
This looks like what I'm needing! Has anybody used this site before? 0 degree down bag for 150 dollars? I need to find out if this is a scam, or just terrible quality, or what?
EDIT:
I...
Yeah, I'm aware of the difficulties of finding something affordable at 0 degrees, but I'm also looking for something synthetic around 20 degrees, which should be more reasonable. There's no possible...
I need a bag that's going to keep me warm during cold desert nights, camping on the ground with a tent and maybe a thermarest. I'm told to bring something rated 0 degrees, but 20 may be doable (I've...
How was the original JH designed? The second was completely sealed, and the third has this zipper. I may email Tom and see if it's possible to replace mine with a second generation, even though...
I had my zipper come loose, which resulted in the fabric tearing at the corners or the track. I emailed Tom about this and he replaced the hammock immediately. However, after some test hangs with...
I still don't know which pre-made snakeskins would fit the JH. :p
I've never been to Mammoth Cave, but a good friend of mine is part of some local grottos, and if there are Kentuckians here interested in caving, I can probably get him to get the keys to some of th...
I'd rather purchase pre-made snakeskins instead of making them.
Which snakeskins best fit the Claytor JH? I bought the Hennesey "Snakeskins 3", but they have already ripped open, because there's too much fabric at the ends of the hammock.
Should I order the...
Normally, I would invest in the most value-conscious gear, but money is too tight to even allow that. I just need to make do with what I can get quickly, and cheaply.
I've been trying to find...
(I know there is already a thread about this, but I can't find it again :confused: )
What do you do with your backpack if it's raining? Just covering it with a trash bag and hanging it from the...
I emailed Tom and he's going to exchange it for me, but it's going to cost 40 USD to return to Thailand. Does anyone have any tips on mailing a hammock overseas?
Thanks. I'll get a better picture with updated dates and send Tom an email.
There's a small tear in the inside lining of my new Claytor JH. It's ripped slightly where you would insert a foam pad. Here's a picture, but it's not good.

Any chance you could link me to something like what you're talking about?
Also, I'm no good at DIY projects. I'm clumsy and easily botch things up. :p
What are the cheapest, easiest ways to stay warm at night? I set up the JH in the backyard and slept in it last night to get a feel for it. Although it was 97F all day yesterday, and the night was...
Ah, that makes sense. Is there anywhere around here to find step-by-step directions to set it up like this? I'd be too paranoid to just go at it, even if it seems so simple.
So, I remove the stock treehuggers, and use some cord to replace it, and tie a cinch buckle at the end. Then I just use some strap that's looped at one end to wrap around the tree, come through that...
I just have a small sleeping bag I was going to put inside the hammock. The larger part of my trip is through hot areas this time of year, but eventually I'm heading towards Washington, Idaho,...
Where can I read more about this? I've seen pictures floating around the forums, but no instructions or anything that a beginner could understand.
I've got my first hammock, a Claytor JH, and I've been playing around to get used to it. I'm inexperienced with hammocks, and camping in general, but I'm about to take a month-long trip and this...
I'm still working with the tarp, I'll try that truckers knot tomorrow, but it looks too complicated.
Does anyone know where I can find some instructions on snakeskins? They seemed obvious to...
I may be going about this the wrong way, but I can't get the hammock to slip into the snakeskins. It goes up to a certain point, but it's too thick at the ends to get into the smaller end of the...
I got the hammock up with those knots and after playing with it some, it's alright, so I retied them a couple of times to get used to it. I've never had to tie anything more complicated than my...
I've got the hammock set up according to this page:
http://www.mosquitohammock.com/hammockknots.html
But it doesn't seem sturdy, probably because of my inexperience tying these knots, and I...
This is my first hammock, and I just got it in the mail today. I took it outside to test it out, expecting there to be some directions, but there wasn't. I studied it and still couldn't figure it...
If I'm still into hammocking then, I may have to take you up on that. :)
Thanks.
So, is ~$150 the cheapest price out there for a complete, reliable setup?
I emailed to see if anything was available.
I need a hammock that is complete and ready to go, without replacing anything or making any modifications. After browsing around the boards, it seems...
Also, what other accessories are staple for hammocking? I'm going to need some kind of blanket or bag to keep warm inside if it rains. I'm not going to be far into the wilderness or anything since...
What is a demo list?
I'm 6' 160lbs, so would the Expedition be too small for me? I was reading it's description that it only had 6' of space, but I may have read that wrong. I'd like to have...
These were good reads. How does that Claytor Jungle Hammock compare to the Hennessy Expedtition? I went to some outdoors sports shops and the only complete hammock packages available are...
I'm going to be hitchhiking across the country this summer, and I am thinking about using a hammock/tarp combo to guarantee shelter. I have looked around some, but hammocks seem to be rather...
