This is a full set-up with tarp, built-in bug net, suspension & stuff sack
I bought this from a friend here on HF, he got it as a HH demo model.
$175, money going for friends in need in India/Sri Lanka. I hope to replace this beauty some day :) But for now... priorities,...
Welcome from IL!
Hey there, and welcome from about an hour up I-55 in IL.
Cool Under-the-table kids hammock :)
+1 My dollar store had a stack of them for a buck each. Happy hunting!
Yep, mostly Addis & Debre Zeit. An acquantance of mine has spent some time in Dj. He still has some friends there. Glad to bump into you here! Best wishes to you...
Our local "Dollar Tree" store had them for a buck each this summer. Something to keep your eye out for.
Welcome from IL! Recycled, repurposed - excellent! Creative, cheap & fun.
Welcome from IL! I have spent some time in Ethiopia, your neighbor to the south.
For me, with a uber tight budget and family to raise up- its definately the costs. Its a big mountain to climb to save up for the 'dream set-up'
#2 would be the fiddlin' it takes to get comfy some...
Welcome from IL! Happy hanging & hunting. It's squirrel season here :-)
Those space blankets are toasty! I once made a pad (with extended sides) out of two layers of subfloor insulation and a space blanket sandwiched in the middle- it worked very well except one thing....
I have the HH Exp UL. I'm just shy under 6'. Although my HH IS comfortable, and it does come with a complete set-up (tarp, net, suspension) I have been looking at the Dangerbird. The HH feels a bit...
Welcome from IL! My friend has a WB Traveler double-layer he really likes. He weighs in somewhere over 300.
Great story... congrats! Welcome from IL

Welcome from IL. 20 years, that sounds like pioneering terms. Looking forward to learning and sharing as well.
Great story, one to share with my "unbelieving" friends. Welcome from IL!
Welcome from IL!
I'll keep you in mind if I come across any more :)
I have the standard. Never used the Hex, but I think I would like it better. There have been nights I would of like to be tucked-in a lttle better than I was able to be with the standard tarp. That...
I found a free pair of panty hose and cut off the ends... this has worked well enough until I get a chance to REALLY make a pair.
I've been wondering if anyone had done such a thing- super! I was glad to add my name.
Welcome from Illinois! I've got family in the Poconos and love the hiking out there!
+1 I have used one in a pinch. Might find a good deal at army surplas etc...
Excellent. I'm happy to add this to my "just in case" info bank.
Yep the SN was too small... I felt too squeezed. Glad it could work for you. I've been enjoying a HH Explorer Ultralight.
@ DuctTape, I got that formula off HF somewhere... But yes it will help determine comfort level.
Here is a chart I made while researching which hammock to purchase. It doesn't cover 100% of available hammocks, just the ones I was looking at (includes over 20 hammocks). Weight limits are not...
Welcome from IL
Welcome bigmuddy! The Great River Road is a beautiful ride. Greetings from about an hour north in IL.
PM with question...
Welcome to HF from about an north in IL...
There's a couple of us in IL about an hour north of STL on 55 that are interested...
Come on over to rural Illinois for your next article :-)
Welcome from Illinois... enjoy
Mind if I ask what led you to going synthetic? Feel free to PM
PM on way after mamaL
LOL deerhntr! Glad for the fix. I just recently converted my dad to hanging, now I'm looking to get at Explorer deluxe... thanks for the encouraging word!
I converted my dad, now I'm looking to get him a HH Explorer Deluxe. Zip or classic.
Glad to be in good company here on HF.
Like many, I've been blessed to grow up camping. Just in '08 did I learn about hanging when I was with a group of young guys on a hiking trip in So. IL.

Interested... pm sent
Thanks everyone for the great help. A new friend on HF offered a nice deal on a HH Exp UL. Just got it, now onto testing & tweeking.
Thanks everyone for the great help. A new friend on HF was kind enough to make a nice deal on a HH Exp UL... Just got it and now onto the testing & tweeking.
@ Mr. BillyBob: Zip to be preferred, but willing to try classic bottom entry.
Excellent advice!
Now, what can be said about a young dad who's budget is only around $100-150??
Can I expect a miracle & hope someone will give up a used HHExpUL set up for around that price?...
