I better get my videos added to this thread...however I am in California on business this week and my camera is at home. So it will have to wait.

Good times this weekend...my hangover has pretty...

If someone has room for me, I might as well not drive unless someone else wants a lift. If someone has room for Topo and I, count us in, I can be at your place whenever Mike.

So you are going to...

So what is the update with driving and all that? I have MORE than enough room in the 4Runner for a few people heading up from Phoenix.

p.s.- My wife is SOOOOO mad at me for being gone on Easter....

Topo and I are in for this trip. He is driving my wife nuts, time to wear him out.

...not to mention I have a new hammock to test out!

I figured I would put the feelers out before I drop $250 on a No Sniveller. I would love to get into an under quilt for less if possible. Anyone making these, or have one they are ready to part with?...

SOLD. Thanks for your interest.

Bump. I can't believe I still have this hammock at this price. If someone is interested in buying the setup without the custom built pad I could be a little more flexible, since the pad is going to...

Ok, $235 shipped to your door.

Paypal sent for the Trail Runners.

It's time for me to move to a different hammock, so my two hennessys are for sale. This ad will be for a VERY complete setup! Everything has been used, but is in great condition. The pad has it's...

BLUE REI pack is SOLD!!!!

I can ship these packs for $5/ each or $5 if you want both of them.

I have two dog packs for sale. The Kelty Chuck Wagon is size medium and has been used for one season of hiking. It's in great...

Go do it! I took Thur. and Fri. off, drove over to SOCAL on Wen. evening and we hiked like mad to get to the car on Sunday so I could drive back.

Just do it!

I am already in the planning...

I think I would go with a lighter pack. My Lowe Alpine pack is pretty darn heavy. Other than that my list was pretty spot on. I would bring more hot coco though. I only had it for 2 nights, and the...

You know, I didn't do a pack list. I don't know why. I have a pack list on HikeArizona.com, but it's a complete list of everything I own. Here is a list off the top of my head.

Shelter/ Sleeping -...

LOL, the questions are welcome! The chicken is in the same aisle as the tuna....but not with the tuna (at least in my grocery store).

I do have a pad. I built a 30" wide pocket pad out of two...

I'm just excited somebody read that novel! It wasn't to hot. The highs were about 70 the last day, and the lows were always about 42. So it was chilly in the morning, and fairly warm in the...

On a recent trip in the Superstition wilderness East of Phoenix, I was sleeping on the ground with no tent and had a Ringtail body slam me trying to get my pack open, then 30 minutes later the little...

Thanks gang! My pinkie toe is ruined from a blister...but other than I am good to go.

I am thinking about doing the Tahoe Rim Trail thru-hike next year, 165 miles in 12 days. That should be an...

I just created a MASSIVE blog detailing our trip, so if you want to check it out feel free. The hammock was hung 2 out of 3 nights, one night there were no trees...so I had to suffer on the ground...

MIKE! I figure you have enough business without me pushing stuff stacks! I figured you would rather spend your time building SWEET tarps, and tarp tents!!

Thanks again man! They stuff sacks are...

Couldn't have said it better PhotomanKC. I froze my booty off in a bag that has never let me down. I have used that Marmot bag in middle of winter up on Mt. Rainier down into the low teens. Never got...

I didn't have any trouble with this pad slipping. I kind of started off with it rotated up one wall of the hammock which I noticed later in the night. I really struggle with getting in my bag,...

I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. I actually had one side much longer, because if I centered it over the creek bed, I wouldn't have been able to get up in the hammock, so I slide it to...

It's not exactly "pretty", but it works!

I actually had the foot end a tad bit higher. The photo I posted was a few minutes after I got in the hammock, which means I am actually placing my self...

Ok, an update (not that anyone is really watching this thread). I got the new pad built and tested it out last night. It wasn't very cold out, but with my clothes on, and the new pad I was TOASTY all...

Ok, I got the Odds 'n' List from HH and there are all kinds of CRAZY deals on there! I picked up a Supershelter for $89 w/ free shipping! It has some sewing flaws...WHO CARES!!! Sweet.

I got the new pads from Ed Speer in today, and going to build this new pad tomorrow hopefully! I am looking forward to the DIY project. I will keep everyone updated with a photo when it's done.

I figured I would look here first. Going to buy a new one next week unless I can save some $$$ from you hammock junkies. :) Thanks, DIRT

I think I will buy it from Speers, as there is some other stuff on his site that I am interested in as well from the accessories section. Thanks again for the links, and recommendations.

I have tried Oware, and Gossamer and can't find CCF wide enough and thick enough. I need 2 pieces that are 60"x40" and hopefully 1/2" thick. Help me out pretty please. Thanks.

Thanks HANGnOUT! That looks like a much easier process...only bummer is I am going to have to order the pads now. But that's all good! I even have a Z-Lite pad that I can sacrifice for the project!...

Well guys, I have never sewed...but I know we have a really nice sewing machine. I am going to make this! I will try this, and if it fails we will amp things up with the Super Shelter.
...

Thanks so much everyone. I was basically just using the famous WalMart pad that everyone recommends. I will entertain all of these ideas you guys are offering up and go out in another couple weeks...

I picked up a closed cell foam pad at the local sporting goods store in the camping section. I was going to bring my Thermarest, but I figured inflatable wouldn't be that great...then it's just full...

Alright, I survived the first night....but I was FREAKING cold!!! I think the temp dipped into the low 40's and I was pretty much awake from midnight until 5 or 6 am trying to stay warm. Apparently...

Yeah, I am working with Brian that makes them right now. I have a few different options as far as color and stuff goes. I want to get one night in the hammock under the stock rain fly, so I can think...

Thanks Mike. I am heading down to Wally here in a few minutes and I will get one. I am sure at some point I will pick up the Speer...but I am about to order a very nice Cat Tarp, so the hammock money...

alright, thanks everyone. I think I might go buy a pad at WalMart. If I am going to bring the Thermarest I need to do a patch job on it today. I have been really happy with the Z-Lite for sleeping on...

I am taking my new HH Expedition out for it's maiden voyage tomorrow night (probably today for most people reading this...unless you're up late like me). I am still a little confused on the sleeping...

I already have some plans in the making for improvements. Unfortunately, neither my wife, nor myself have any idea how to work our sewing machine. So I have enlisted the help of a friend who has been...

I just got my new Hennessy Hammock (well I bought it used, but new to me!) in the mail today. I set it up within 5 minutes using my patio pillars as makeshift trees. It works very well, super...

This was the fastest board purchase I have ever made. I was serious when I said I wanted one :)

Done deal. Lock this thread up...I have a new hammock on the way!!! :)

PM sent. Let's make it happen!

Thanks Darby. I hate making my first post in the classifieds...but I really don't have much to add to the other forums since I don't have a hammock yet! I have been reading and reading and reading...

This will be my first Hammock...but after 2 months of research I still don't know what model I really want. So, I would like to buy one used to alleviate buyers remorse. If I find the right one used,...
