Same height and the HH Explorer Deluxe will do him fine.

Sure, but....

I’ve seen some cottage industries on here seemingly do quite well, and I’m willing to go out on a limb and say that largely it was due to their participation here. It seems like...

I just find him really frustrating. Super nice guy, and I totally have to tip my hat to him for what he did. I got to see and try early incarnations of it. It’s what got me into hammock camping. I...

You’d think that as someone who had created a hammock, built prototypes, gotten a patent on it, that the potential of a place where he could interact with potential customers, get feedback,...

I told Dave about this place 21⁄2 years ago. I told Dave about this place 2 years ago. I told Dave about this place 11⁄2 years ago. I told Dave about this place 1 year ago. I told Dave about this...

6'7" (2 meters) with a HH Explorer. Works fine for me.

I love making my own stuff, but I’m absolutely certain that I don’t save any money doing it. How much have I spent just in containers, bins, shelving, etc., to store all the material and webbing and...

Another find.

Get them hooked on hammocking early I guess. Prices seem…a bit high…but I suspect a decent crib probably runs about the same.

Ran a search, but didn’t find anything.

Billed as a bean bag hammock. Looks interesting at the very least. For home only.

Hello,

I was curious as to who here is in Ontario? Thought it might be worthwhile to figure out who is in this part of the world. Maybe have a get together at some point so we can have a chance to...

Another option might be a road trip to Toronto’s fashion district. King Textiles on Richmond has a pretty broad selection of stuff, including some “outdoorsy” materials. You have to know what you’re...

Yeah, there is a link to the patent in my writeup. Or just google “Helsdon” and “Hammock” and a variety of patent sites will come up. Don’t know if any of them have the images that would have been...

It’s even better when you’re a gigantic tattooed guy.

I rarely bother going into any brick and mortar sewing shops anymore. Most of them seem to cater only to women who make curtains, cushion...

I guess Dave Helsdon, the designer, doesn’t have the time or can’t be bothered to join the discussion. Pity.

Anyway, I promised to put up some pictures and some observations about it.

That’s not Toronto. That’s Ontario. The difference in temps between Toronto proper and where you’re going can vary quite a lot. Even just Wakefield has the potential to be 2 or 3 degrees cooler than...

Good post. I'll have to try this out soon.



I am.

Sorry for the delay in responding.

The model I used was one of the prototypes, and I like it a lot more than the production model. (I have some photos of the production model, set up in my...

6'7" and 240 lbs, and I have the same HH model as you.

I haven't had any problems with fitting really, but then again, I always curl up on my side in the fetal position. If I stretch out it's a...

Yes I've used one. :) Well, one of the prototypes anyway.

I used to work with the designer, a man called Dave Helsdon from Ontario.

I've told him to come here. Hopefully he will soon. I think...

Ohhhh thank you, thank you, thank you!

I've been trying to get on there for a few days now, and have had no luck.

I figured I would just print out the instructions, but was starting to fear...

Thank you Patrick.

In that case I'll get one of their kits. But I do still find the fact that the insulation they use never being revealed a bit weird.

One thing I can add to this discussion,...

Hello,

I've been mulling over getting one of the Ray-Way Quilt kits, but the fact that their insulation is never actually identified by name makes me a bit wary.

I want to use Climashield, and...

Well just like I've been waffling about whether to make one or whether to have someone make it for me, I've been debating with myself whether to make it a synthetic or down UQ.

I've been coming...

Thank you all for the responses.

That link works for me. Wonder why it didn't for more than a week. If Keith can't do it that's fine. I have been back and forth on whether I should tackle one...

Hi everyone,

Just curious as to what's happening over at KAQ. Can't seem to access the website and messages to Black Bishop haven't been responded to.

Did I miss a major announcement?

I found some brown Sil-Nylonish material at a WalMart up here in Ontario. Bought a yard for a dollar. Took it home, put a big wad of TP in the middle, bundled it up into a bag, and dunked it in a...

Hey thereisnospoon,

Where did you find the Marpat material?
