So I've slept 2 nights with the xtherm in my daily hammock (in 2x4 hammock stand).

Woke the first morning after a great sleep to find that the xtherm had spun out from under my head and feet, so...

I think they must have increased the volume of the pump sack doohicky, as the one that came with mine is bigger than I've seen on youtube vids. I find it works quite well to pump it up (maybe 6...

Well, for the 3 minutes I laid in in at a variety of different rates of inflation, I found it rather warm. Like warm enough that I"m stoked to try it in winter (both hanging and ground dwelling)....

You guys are awesome!

I took a break from work today to walk over to the store to buy one of these jobs, and I had decided to get a rectangular one that was cheaper (the all-season), and came...

I've been considering updating my ground-dwelling pad situation to one of these Xtherm units. As a belt and suspenders kinda guy, I really appreciate the versatility of a pad over an UQ. I mean, I...

Copy that. Keeping gears clean, and hoping the machine outlives me!

The service technician told me that it shouldn't require servicing for ~15 years - which feels like money well spent. Fingers...

I've not seen this site before - thanks xxl_hanger.

It confirms my suspicions that it was born the same year as I - 1968!! Woot!

And yes, the nylon gears - when I got it, the large one (most...

Here is my new (to me) Bernina Record 730. It's in its late 40's. It's a beautiful piece of Swiss engineering. After killing a few other machines, I bought this one and immediately had it...

This is great! I've only bought Ashley's BOKs to give as a gift - so it's especially nice to see lots of reference to that wonderful book.

Very nice and clear illustrations and explanations.

You may have more luck finding old aluminum tent poles. Just hack them down to size and they're bomber. I've made mine from sections of old avalanche probes - basically the same thing as tent poles /...

I'm a big fan of fabric hammocks for nightly sleeps. I spent a few months in a Mayan, which is awesome, but difficult to re position in. I slept in a Hennessey for about 1.5 years, and was generally...

A couple shots of a sweet west coast hang..

Even had access to front kayak hatch from hammock:)

Thanks for the informative video knotty. I'm currently enjoying my maiden hang in a gathered end I made today. So simple.

this little gem brings me much joy:

I'm in the same boat Rook. Mine happened about 21 months ago, and I got myself a Hennessy instead of a new bed. It's been remarkably good. It works pretty well at keeping you out of trouble too! I...

thanks for the response Cannibal.

Yeah, I just had a post 'moved' yesterday - it was a link to a funny youtube vid. Is this not allowed or something? It was kinda hammock related: 'Everybody Loves a Hangin''
Anyway, I don't seem to...

Thanks for the warm welcome folks!
Going to try my first sleep in the HH tonight. I just swapped out my delightful Mayan hammock (slept in the past couple nights) for the HH, and it just might be...

I've jumped onto your thread snidetripod, as we've both joined on the same day, and I hate to waste paper:)

Anyway, I'm also a new member here. Also from Canada (Vancouver). And I'm writing this...
