Yep, They hang with me where ever I go! (oops they are ground sleepers) It's their herd instinct. They see me as their alpha goat. Rooster the big 200lb goat tried to butt me once and I immediately...
OK I've broken in my Claytor JH. First night in the backyard w/CCF pads was restless and cold feet. So I broke out the JRB Nest for a BP trip to the mountains knowing it would be cooler. Nest worked...
Wow, that was FUN! Spent 2-nights in my JH w/Nest. Slept great other than the usual of having to get up and scold the goats about chewing on the guylines or getting into my gear etc ...just like...
OK! I fixed the JH's suspension with the SMC rings and some 1/2" tubular webbing. Also decided to try my Nest with the JH. Fits like a glove! Real test will be does it keep me warm at altitude? ...

Tks RAW! Yep the JH came with some shock-cord and I've got them working for me just as you described.
Slept in the JH last night and the low was 48F. First thing I noticed was the tarp's ridge...
I'm in! ...but need to know cost before I can get it through domestic politics?
Needless to say it was like Xmas here today. It's been hot all week in the 80s! I've been packing up for a trip to the mountains this weekend with the goats. Mail lady honked and I ran to graciously...
Mule, do you happen to have any pics of this mod?;) TKS!
Can someone post a bunch of GOOD pictures of this DD? I may want one too? :rolleyes:
I also ordered a JH last week. Tom gave me some options and I decide to opt out (ask for a refund). He said too keep the new model (non-sleeve) which is in route as peace offering (WOW!). He...
Dang!:eek: I just ordered a JH mid last week and received no such notice? I'll be an VERY unhappy customer :( if there's INDEED no sleeve! The 'pad sleeve' described on his website was ONLY reason...
Movin' on up to a side/top entry
My HH was ok BUT needed more room, an insultation/pad sleeve and I got tired of the fireman-vagina exits at 2am. Twisted my ankle once and swore that was the last...

Looking for the above. :)
I have a HH hyperlite that I'm not using.
No devil worshipers! or goat BBQs ;)
...just a few she devils that emerge around the campfire after a too much 'goatnip'.:D
Whew, had an awesome time! We car-camp and day hiked w/goats and attended workshops etc. Weather was sunny and warm when it wasn't raining! Sure glad I hung the HH w/Nest under my 12x12 Kelty. I was...
Thanks for the info guys!
I'm heading up to cooler climes near Telluride, Colorado above 10,000' for 5-days attending Goatstock 2007 and temps have been in the 30Fs for the lows! Taking my...
isn't that the same stuff as the Neat Sheet material which I just bought thinking I'd make an SPE with it ...sounds like it might work for the weather shield as well?
On the pad I'm gonna try...
What's the shield made of?
What do folks use with their Nest? Mine just arrived :D and I'm curious if I need or should use anything with it like a pad or heat shield or just the solo Nest? :confused:
hmm, I must need a lot practice cuz no matter how I hang it I get the bloody ripples? :( It's like something heavy hung in the tarp like a hammock and stretched the middle out? sigh, ...oh well.
...
TKS Dutch but I just tried separating them and got the same result as before????
Blasted RIPPLES! :eek:
I'm a newbie to hammocking and maybe should have RTFM for my Hyperlight but I can't seem to get this stock HH tarp to pull out nice and flat w/o a ripply ridge line ...photos: top bottom?
I know...
Sorry it wasn't me I've only 2-goats at present.
BTW - I Plan to get more but decided to start w/just two about 2yrs ago. When they reach their full weight they'llbe able to carry 25-30% of their...
Thanks Guys, ...you saved me from heading down the wrong trail! I'll save it for a another project. Cheers ~ GM
Yeah, I make my 'pack goats' carry some of the their own gear (plus a little of mine) which is a 12'x12' 2-lb Kelty tarp to keep them dry. They hate getting wet! So my plan is to hang under their...
I found some Neat Sheets to use for a DIY SPE today at Toys-R-Us. After looking at this material is there any reason not to use this to make an undercover from?? Granted it's not as light as Silnylon...
Thanks for the ideas guys!
Yup another gear pocket for sure! I hung my 1/2 liter water bottle on one of those little hooks for middle of the night dry mouth fixes. Also looking into the ring...
I was thinking of both weather protection and as an insulation pocket.
BTW My Hyperlight arrived yesterday :D and I spent my first night in a hammock last nght. It was great ...really...
Just wondering if anyone has made an undercover for their hammock? If so was it difficult? I'm waiting for my HH Hyperlight to arrive :D and wondering how to optimize it for season ahead and warmth?...
