I have a Hennessy Hex 70D, no doors but in great condition (only used 4 nights) I'd let it go for $40

Iron on lettering will peel off. Printing on nylon requires a catalyst to be added to the ink while it's still liquid so it will bond to the material. And then it needs to be used within a very...

No shame in going indoors if you can't stay warm. The number one killer in the great outdoors is not being able to maintain core temperature and the number two (in my opinion) is male ego. I almost...

Wow! From Texas to -40 Canada, you must be looking at the arctic ocean coast. Are you going to be skiing, snowshoeing or snowmobiling?

If you want to save a couple grams tie it off on each end the way Brandon's video shows. if you want a little easier set-up and adjustment use a continuous ridgeline, under if you need extra support...

Zing it or Lash it for the ridge line, but I'd use something bright and reflective for the guyline. I'm pretty happy with the Kelty Triptease on my tarp, especially in the middle of the night when...

I was curious myself as to whether a regular bug net type mesh would be too abrasive against cuben fiber over time.

Thanks, and to you also, Simon.

From the photo, it looks like the edges may not be usable. If so, how much of the 54" width can be used?

According to Warbonnet's website for your weight, if going with the single 1.1 you'll experience a noticeable loss of flatness and support due to stretch and it's only recommended if you're very...

A single layer Warbonnet traveler is $60 and a double layer (more comfortable) is $75, both come with webbing/buckle suspension. The only thing you'll need is biners or Dutch clips.
I have the 1.7...

What OutandBack said... :thumbup:

Good to see another Montanan on the forum. Welcome!

Everyone has different motivations for how they choose their equipment, dependent on what their goals are and what helps them to better enjoy the experience.

I agree, but I'm having a hard time justifying the $300 when I can drop a lot more weight by skipping dessert every once in awhile:blush:

I doubt there are enough people willing to go through the learning curve it takes to get the most out of hammock camping for it to ever go " mainstream".

Thanks SwinginIt

What thickness of shockcord does it take to make it work well?

I think that's the route I'll be going, seems like a more durable alternative. For you weight watchers, that's about 4 grams worth of grosgrain.

He's asking for something light enough for bicycle touring, I couldn't find anything on the website that mentions weight or packed size.

Possibly a Warbonnet Blackbird single layer (depending on your weight) with whoopie slings and a WB Edge tarp. You could go the cuben fiber route on the tarp to save about 6 ounces, that is, if you...

56 (I think) and wishing I'd discovered hammock camping a long time ago instead of last spring. But seeing those 70+ers is inspiring.

Ah yes, it's finally here. 32 days from checkout to mailbox.

If you have a knife you can make a spoon or chopsticks. What is that, a BK2?

I just picked up a Hennessy 70D Hex (12'X10') from REI for $75 . I've seen them as low as $55 elsewhere but REI has a no questions return policy and free shipping. At 23 oz. it's not a ultra-light by...

No worries, I'm a newb too. The only reason I knew about that thread was because I had the same question and I got a bit o' the OCD when it comes to researching new interests.

I'd rather have it right than fast and I'm sure all of us ordered from Warbonnet because Brandon has a reputation for doing it right.

Here's this same discussion with Brandons response and some pics of Bankheadboy's footbox mod. https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12761&highlight=traveler+footbox

As an ex-rock bum, I can tell you that if you're using nuts you'll need on of these tools after a night or two to get your stoppers out: http://www.rei.com/product/809315/metolius-torque-nut-tool

I just want to thank everyone for making me feel welcome, I'm really liking it here!

I just picked up a 70D Hex rainfly a couple days ago, are they already sealed when new or do I need to do that?

Curious, I ordered a 1.7 dbl traveler on 4-29 and folks that ordered 1.7 BB XLC's two days later are getting their hammocks. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you're getting your hammock, I'm just...

Ya I know how you all feel, I'm past my second week too. I also know how Brandon must feel, I used to work for a high end rifle manufacturer with a minimum wait of four months for a basic rifle and...

Thanks all!
Paul, I'm hoping to make out to the September Idaho hang, how much notice do you need?

I guess I've been lurking in the shadows long enough now and figure I should pop my head out and say hi.
I was talking with my son a couple months ago about getting a new tent to haul on my...

That hasn't been my experience, but it's nice to know they don't have a problem with hammocks.

Huge thanks for all your efforts Rev!
