I haven't slept with the space blanket yet. I set it up in my basement to see how it would be, it was very noisy... you know... crinkle, crinkle, crinkle... I haven't tried it outside yet. This...

Hi Guys...

I've had the Explorer Ultralite for ~3 years and love it! My son has pretty much taken over the hammock so I used that as an excuse to buy the Deep Jungle XL ZIP. I camp up here in...

Hi Andy,

I'll be going the 175miles through NH with a HH starting Aug 2nd. I planned 17 days with a stay at Lake of The Clouds and Pinkham Notch (15 miles between the two... :eek: in one day)

Hi All,

I am hiking the AT through The Whites in August (Vt to Me). I'll be using my HH. I don't want to bring my EMS Mountain Light 20, I want to reduce weight and volume.

What should I...

I am happy for you!! Send some luck my way!!!! :)

I believe it is catching on pretty quick. I started one year ago. I use it with my son at scouting campouts. There was lots of interest. My son now hammocks. The other scout leaders are looking...

I guess I am at high risk of snapping my ridge line. I like to tighten the snot out of the HH when I pitch it. I use the cinch knot and reef on it. I feel like I sleep more horizontal (when...

God Speed...

Where are most of these breaks occuring?

I would like to "beef" my HH up. Are the breaks in the covered knot area or are they occuring on the visible part of the ridge line (between the end...

I've been surfing youtube for hammock/tarp pitching and picked up the Siberian hitch and a Power Cinch located here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjMmla9DSzo&feature=related


The video shows...

I fear that the Whites won't give me the luxery of hammocking every night. I haven't been through that section so I will probably get a ground mat just in case.

Hey Cannibal,

I can't do the whole thing until I retire, but I'm looking at doing 120 miles through The Whites this summer.

Do you guys post your progress somewhere accessible to those who...

I talked with Ann from HH via email.

She offered to have Tom to call so we could discuss the set-up and what might have happened.

I further explained my experience and she thought that he...

Are you still accepting orders??
If so, when do you plan to purchase?

Schneiderlein,

Do you think the "Speedy Stitcher" will work for this? I don't have a sewing machine and havent really tried to use one.

Hi All,

Yesterday I set up my Explorer UL with the SS. I wanted to test warmth; it was going to get into the 20's. It was windy, I was using the large 70D "HEX"-SHAPED PU-COATED POLYESTER...
