I made mine out of 1/8th and followed the instructions/walkthrough here: http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=9349

A basic rule for the slings is that they will be about half the...

I bought 60' with the intent to make whoopies for both GTULs I recently bought, but I honestly don't see the point in rigging the other one...yet.

I'm also on the fence with the ARL too. I sort of...

I was taking my time and didn't have the best tools, but it took me around 45 mins with the TV on and the occasional break to watch the transformers in my neighborhood blowing up.

I ended up using...

Hurricane Sandy roared through are area last night...so it was a perfect time to make some whoopie slings!

I followed the sticky, took my time, and made them without any real issue...I have no...

That's the same reason I got mine. Way lighter than my Safari and I couldn't beat $12 each. I also figured I'd get a spare in the event that I mess up modding it or destroy one of them.

Speaking...

I got home from work a little early today to be greeted by my newest acquisitions...two new GTULs

I couldn't resist running down to the basement and hanging it up to see what the deal was. After...

Very cool - I'm in!

My personal snapping point was when I was putting 4 people and a dog in my Subaru AND pulling a loaded trailer. Tents, cots, dutch ovens, propane tanks, coolers. It was madness! We still do those...

Bruce - That sounds like the same line of storms that woke us up at 4:30am on Saturday. It gave us some grief as well. Glad to hear everyone there got a decent amount of warning and could prep.

I ordered a blue one and a green one on the 17th, and just got the UPS confirmation for the entire order. Guess I need to order those whoopies sooner than I expected!

How long have you had your HH for/how many times have you used it? I'm just trying to get a idea on lifespan...

I can't believe I'm already looking at zipper/sewing mods and whoopie slings now lol

Annnnd I just heard back.

Per the folks at Hennessy:

- They don't consider it a defect as it's not really broken, it's just stretching on one axis of the nylon weave.
- It's pretty common...

Thanks Dragon. That seems odd that Tom would recommend sealing it w/ silicon. Wouldn't that completely void the warranty? Did you do anything to that area to fix it? Or did you just leave it be?

A...

Dragon - Did you send it back or just put up with it? I would agree that it's just stretching now, but it makes me nervous that it will eventually rip. It also effectively creates an entry way for...

Thanks! I purchased it new from a different vendor online. I sent them an email about it, so I'm just waiting to hear back. If I don't hear anything within 24-48 hours, I'll give Hennessy a call.

I ended up putting the eye bolts in last night. It turns out the bottom of the rafters are about 6' 3" off the ground. I put a set at 15' apart, and a set at slightly less than 12', and the...

Hey folks,

I got my Safari about a week ago, and in that time I've hung it twice, and probably gotten into/out of it about half a dozen times. I was experimenting with different hang heights,...

From everything I've read, it's looking like I just didn't let the hammock sag enough, and the ridgeline was taught even before I got in it. I just need to play with it a bit more.

I have those...

Hey everyone!

So a few days ago I was fortunate enough to get outside with my Hennessy Safari and attempt to hang it up. The only problem is my yard is distinctly lacking in the tree department :(...

I don't miss it either! I take the train to work :D

Hello everyone!

I have been lurking on here for more than two weeks (after someone mentioned hammock camping in another forum), but after a trial hang in my Hennessy Safari yesterday I figured it...
