Ooh Cairgorms sounds like real adventure, we're less than ten miles from the city centre in these pics. And yeah, even here in the Peak District, I always take a tarp, but for a one nighter and a...

A one nighter in the Peak District national park - lovely weather - so no flysheets. So she woke me up to tell me the sun was rising. At 5am. Needless to say, we both went back to sleep. Owls and...

Welcome Chap, another UK hanger here, wild hanging in and around the Peak District National Park mostly, plans for canoe hammocking in Sweden next year, and maybe the Galloway Forest Park in late...

That evazote looks great. It's a shame GG don't ship the 1/8" pads abroad.

I've not found a retailer here in the uk, but the price for a 80" x 40" sheet is about $20 from wholesale, with a minimum...

If it's manufactured by Craghoppers, like BG clothing is, I really wouldn't trust it. Craghoppers offer stuff at an unbeatable price point, and then you discover how they managed it, by skimping on...

Derbyshire, early spring.

Hi from a Svensk living in Yorkshire UK.

Allemansrätten is a gift to hammockers.

I stick as many alpine butterflies as there are packs (all quite small) in a length of paracord, thread a cyalume onto it, and pop it up between two trees a few feet apart with a slippery bowline and...

Legendary stuff. ^

I bought two Hennessy's (Explorer and Expedition Zip) before I even realised a)other hammock manufacturers existed, and b)I had seen this place.

I'm still very happy with them, and have bought a...

I'd love to get up to Scotland this spring for a hike'n'hang with the boy. I'm in love with the North West and the Applecross Peninsula, but need to broaden my experience!

Welcome to the forum...

Magnificently helpful,thank you! :D

I've got a ton of paracord, which is fine, but I'd like to hang my new hex tarp with something a little less stretchy, bulky and heavy.

I'm also considering...

That's definitely worth knowing and it's a terrible shame, as the range of stuff they have in one place is almost tailor made for hammockers, it seems.

Hey! :)

A lot of the suppliers listed on this forum are in the US (unsurprisingly), so when I saw this place: http://www.extremtextil.de in my hunt for dyneema, I thought I'd post it here. I've...

Having just taken delivery of my 2nd explorer with a hex tarp, this makes great reading - can't wait to get out and hang, next week at half term maybe!

I sometimes test gear hanging out at the...

I'm in Sheffield here, plenty of woodland in the Derbyshire dales just next door, North Lees, Hope, Wyming Brook, Yarncliffe Quarry and the hangers paradise, Bole Hill Quarry are all spots I know.
...

My initial thoughts were that the xylene basecoat and acetone topcoat would make mincemeat out of all my thin polymer fabric and cordage, but it seems not. dyneema and nylon are both pretty solvent...

In my limited experience on a thermarest in my hennessy explorer, it's hard work wriggling onto the pad and then untwisting the bag. UQ/TQ seems like a clear win in that situation.

OTOH, it's...

Thank you for that, from another British hanger!

The Hennessy hangs fine "out of the box" IMO. I've not hiked any distance with it yet, so haven't found a need to shave the grams off, but it's pretty foolproof as it stands.

My advice, get out...

Oblomov is Goncharev's anti-hero, a man paralysed by laziness and indecision. The laziest man in the world in fact.

Heh,

I saw my first hammock on Youtube a couple of years ago, and immediately knew it was a genius idea when I fully understood the whole 'asym' concept.

So, being on a limited budget, I bought...

I bought a couple of Hennessys a few months ago. I've had the opportunity to camp out twice, once with the kids who bagged the hammock and bounced me into the dodgy pop-up kids effort. So my idea...
