Hey Everyone,
I ended up bringing my hammock to do the W-Trek (West-to-East) in Torres Del Paine in November of 2017. There is nowhere to hang a hammock at the first campground (Paine Grande) and...
[Bump!]
vuanguyen - Did you end up using your hammock on the W trail? I'm hoping to do the trip with a hammock in November 2017.
The only information I could find was a blog where someone...
I think it might be too tightly fit to the hammock. Give it some slack. Maybe tie it down with bungee cords
I've gotta say a good sleeping bag and a thin windproof undercover is great in the hammock. I love just rolling around in it..
Homemade UQ (really just a fleece sheet, emergency blanket, and a poncho as a windbreaker) thin socks, thick smart wool socks, Odyssey 10 degree sleeping bag, a beanie and a fluffy russian style hat....
Quoddy: that's my problem; It's a coated ripstop tarp.
Storm Crow: !!!!!!! thank you! that was exactly what I was looking for. I was about to destroy the tarp by sewing on some attachments but...
Hey everyone!
I am looking for tips on how to make my tarp more adequate for heavy snow. Today is the first day it snowed in NJ (or my area) and about an inch came down. I left home with my hammock...
GT-UL = Grand Trunk Ultra Light Hammock
Cool that's what I was looking for. I made a ridge-line on my hammock though and I was hoping to put the sleeping bag over it. Anyway thanks!
Does anyone know of any instructions or way to convert an old sleeping bag into a Hammock Sock? I would like a way to either hang it from the ridge line or keep it close. I would like to do this...
Hope this helps someone!
I really would like to put positions unimaginable for non-hammock campers lol
Note:This is my first full nights sleep outside in a hammock. This is designed to test my sleep system mostly for myself but for others to compare experiences with the same temperatures and weather....
I was on youtube and I was looking at tents and videos of tents. I then saw some camping hammocks and started searching for that which lead me to Te-wa's videos and Shugs. After watching all of...
I'll post some pictures soon I am not allowed to leave it up during the day though because there is grass under it which needs to grow. This is pretty good because I get to practice setting up and...
It is possibly the nicest area I have every been to. I went two years ago on a school trip. It is wonderful! If you can try to do the day hikes that follow the stream down to the waterfall. You get...
If you're looking for tarp suspension you really don't need webbing you could just use cord. less bulky.
Hey welcome! I'm quite new myself and I have a very small budget for hammock camping right now but it looks like you got yourself a nice set up. I couldn't afford to buy an under-quilt for winter so...
Well surprisingly it works! I will be replacing the cord with shock-cord soon so it hugs my hammock. It's about 33 degrees right now outside and I was fairly warm with a quilt as an over cover and my...
What kind of hang will this be? Hiking? Car to camp hang for a few days and some day hikes.. sorry if this was mentioned before I didn't catch it.
I think I may be able to make it just about an hour or two drive from my house.
I'm still setting up my hammock (making adjustments to suspension & making under quilt)
Thanks for the knot link Hogn8r and the insulation recommendations!
I am having my thin hammock then Fleece then other layer then space blanket then poncho. I am sewing everything together so I...
Hey, guys I am about to make an underquilt/cover for my GTUL.
I'm going to be using a poncho, an emergency blanket, and a thin fleece blanket.
I'm looking to add 1 more thin, cheap, and...
My Grand Trunk Hammock came in the mail today! I set it up really quickly. I was surprised that it went up so quickly even with a cast around my wrist. I set up my tarp as well but I didn't stake it...
Has anyone fallen out of their hammock? Embarrassingly or just a stumble counts.
Is it harder to fall out of an asym tied down hammock? Are bridge hammocks the most stable? I would like to know how...
It is the worst for condensation.
Cool I might just do something similar to that. Thanks thought a lot. I will be buying everything soon and hopefully setting it up in my back yard, making adjustments. and then when winter comes I...
Sweet! Thank you Dejoha! It's good to see someone uses and like the hammock I'm planning on getting.
And thank you for the idea about the netting Binford
I just edited my choices in tarps and suspension so thank you everyone for the help so far!
I wish I could but I'm busy and I will not be able to go camping during the winter.
I am buying some netting which I can sew on to my hammock and throw over the ridge line and I would figure...
Did you like it? What did you not like about it?
Haha I crossed that off my list. I will look for a cinch buckle because I've heard good things about them. Thank you Hooch!
ENO slap straps are off my list now and thanks for the tarp advice....
Hey everyone or anyone! I'm still somewhat new to the hammock forums and I've been learning a lot. I wanted to share a Hammock possibilities that would be attached. If anyone had better ideas that...
Haha I meant to change that. Sorry!
But thank you everyone! I'll try the cheapest approach for not just visit a friend. But if I find myself wanting to do more DIY stuff because you guys...
I do not have one and I really would like to make a few things with one. Does anyone know whether I can rent one from some place. Or go somewhere. Or should I just find a friend who has a sowing...
Here's my situation: I want to try to compare prices of a high quality eno hammock where i can sleep on the diagonal + mosquito netting (not theirs DIY attachment) + a tarp with a HH expedition asym....
Larger than 6 by 9 feet but smaller than 10 by 12 feet
Please include extra features and price you want for it
MUST BE WATER-PROOF.. we all want to stay dry
So please send me a message
Sweet thank you guys! exactly what i needed to hear. I wanted to know this to compare a HH with everything included with an Eno and some tarp and bug netting
I wanted to know from anyone who had an eno doublenest if I wanted to stay deeper in the hammock could I use the eno doublenest and possibly stay at an angle?
Is there anything that makes a regular hammock with bug netting more spacious or more enjoyable?
Does anyone have any extra pockets on the inside of their hammocks or a certain clip that can hold...
As far as I know the use of underquilts in summer are rare. The only true way of telling whether you need one or not is by going out and trying different temperatures yourself.
I'll be honest, I'm sure I would love the BB but for the price for now I'm more inclined to getting a HH. If i can when I have enough money I may return it and buy a BB. It all depends on how much I...
I have a Thermarest Ridgerest foam sleeping pad but I want something warmer, more comfortable, and more form fitting than the foam pad. I saw people using Sunshades for windshields as insulators...
I'm planning on making a separate tarp to cover my hammock and my gear. I'm not sure yet. I want to see what other people's systems are. Is there a forum on this site where people can just put...
Since I don't plan to do any hammock camping this winter I still have time to raise money for a Warbonnet BB and more time to decide.
If I have a good sleeping back 10 degree and a good pad and...
Thanks guys. I have a lot to take into consideration. I may be inching towards the BB now but I really feel that I will not do more than 3 season camping. I hope to in the future but with a limited...
I was looking at that too. The hennessy's tarps are usually not big enough to cover the gear that is hung up. I saw people using smaller kid size hammocks but that is extra weight and may put...
I've gone tent camping quite a bit using my brother's equipment. I saved up enough money to buy a new pack, sleeping back, winter coat, and a hammock. I have stayed in a Hennessy hammock once but not...
