Harriman State Park for sure. Lots of trail, lots of shelters/campsites. There are many good spots to camp that are short hikes. There are a bunch of lakes in the park, I've never fished there but...

Gotta be able to take a joke. It seems like I'd get along with you guys jussssst fine LOL maybe I'll come for some of them tasty blueberries.

That spot on the water looked super mint, can't wait for part 2! Great stuff as usual

I'm still down to come hang out, these guys don't scare me SS. LOL if I'm free next trip you post I'll come down. Flat hiking is a nice change compared to the highlands, plus I'm a gear nerd so I...

I'm not too easily scared away, but the barrens are spooky as it is to us north jersey folk :laugh:

Sound like a good time. I'll have to get down there one weekend you are going out, I'm OK with getting a little lost LOL. Will for sure get the permethrin on my gear, I haven't camped in the barrens,...

No problem, like I said the system worked great for me as it came, but there were for sure areas to improve in terms of usability/ease of setup. My BBB is made out of the bag the hex fly came in, I...

Thanks DGrav!! I've got the prussiks on the suspension, next time I hang I'll try and incorporate some of the techniques Jack used on the hennessy.

Thanks guys! I know whenever I got questions or...

I've found deflating my blow up pad that I use for my feet helps, but then it gets smaller so I could see someone who tosses around alot still moving it. I, too, stick it in the footbox.

I've had a ton of hobbies, the ones that I love the most have a quality community, and this place is not short on that!!

Sweet guys, thanks!!!

I found that video of Jack putting it on the hennessy. Gonna try some of those techniques for sure. I've never been cold to the point of shivering. It's just that leg area I...

I don't fluff it either, I love how much loft these things have! I'm only 5' 8". I have a 2qzq UQP on order, so I'm sure I can eliminate some draft with that. I think in that second pic (the one...

I dove right into backpacking last year with a hennessy hammock hyperlite, when I did my research it seemed like a decent setup and there was a sale at the time upgrading the fly from the diamond to...

Hey folks, been doing a bunch of changing things on my hennessy hammock hyperlite. Went out to test and brought my wife along. In the process I gathered some info that lead me to some question.
...

I was using snake skins on my hyperlite since I got it. I love being able to chuck it out, no worries of wet ground tainting my good nights sleep. I marked the head end with dots of orange nail...

Just got done taking my wife on her first trip, and the only thing she complained about was not being together under the same tarp. I just ordered CL's and beetle buckles for my eno and hennessy...

Looks like your research payed off based on your setup. I wish I dug a little deeper before going down some paths that I did. Not that it's all bad, my favorite part about it is all the learning, I...

Pretty set on changing out the rope on my hyperlite for continuous loops, and whoopies with double dutch hooks. If I do the same to my ENO DN (its for my wife, shes just under 5 ft lol), we could...

Sounds like an epic adventure! Welcome.

Being in NE PA you gotta be close to the AT somewheres. If I need a quick jaunt the AT is usually my go to, either here in NJ or anywhere in PA/NY. I'm lucky enough to be able to access many miles of...

Thanks for the welcome!!! Great to see some more Garden State hammock lovers. Just read the trip report from this past weekend, seems like you all had a great time! I'll have my eye on the get...

My nickname is Kap. I like 4wd's (jeeps in particular). The "tastic" is a lot of flair, but it's grown on me lol.

I was skeptical of GE hammocks until my buddy let me borrow his Eno Doublenest for a day hike. I was hooked on the Shug from the beginning of my backpacking research, initially having no idea people...

Hey everyone!! Just starting my second year backpacking. Do a lot of short trips on the AT, and try to go north as much as I can.

I got into backpacking when I was training for a long distance...
