U DA Man Shug. Thank You !
Shug's video's have been a well of information for me. He has helped me understand the art and fun of hamocking. When I first got into hammock camping I had no idea what I was doing.Thankfully I came...
There is a guy on you tube that makes and sells hammock chairs. Econo Challenge is his channel . He is located in Canada.
I've been hanging it at a local state park and it seems to be a well made hammock. The spreader bars really open it up. It is by no means a bridge hammock but it does seem to reduce shoulder pinch....
Thanks guy's. I finished my u/q. It not pretty but it works...lol Some day when I learn to sew I'm make another one.
Does any have or heard of Paha Que hammocks? I just picked one up and it is really cool. It is much like the Eno d/w but it comes with spreader bars. I haven't slept in it yet but I did make a under...
Anyone else have any ideas to help me out? Thanks in advance.
MDSH thanks for your input. I have a better idea on how to tackle this now. Looks like yours turned out pretty good. As long as it works and keeps me warm I don't really care what it looks like...lol...
Hi Guy's I have an old cheap sleeping bag that I was thinking of using for a under quilt. I need some ideas on how and where to attach it to the hammock. Not sure if it should attach to a ridgeline...
Turned out to be a great day. My car dealership covered the cost of my brake job 100%. I headed out to a nice quiet spot and hung my hammock. Can't beat that with a stick !!!
Brake job in the morning. Hang the rest of the afternoon. Work can wait !!!
Well I shipped out the hammock for the #3 mod. Can't wait to get it back and take it out for a weekend trip.
Thanks guys. I found the link on the forum page. I already got a reply with all the info I need to ship my hammock out for the mod. Sending it out next week. Can't wait to get it back and give it a...
Anyone have a link for the 2QZQ zip mod ? I'd like to get a zip installed on my HED.
Thanks!!!
Hi Guy's,
Haven't been on the site for some time. It's nice to be back and as always enjoy all the posts and info. this wonderful site has to offer. I started my love affair with...
Thanks for all your input guys. I had the DN out this weekend for a test run with the bug net. I was very happy with it. I used the tarp from my HED but it's not enough to cover in a good rain storm....
No I haven't weighed it. I'm sure it weighs more then most folks would want to pack. I do have 5 yards of parachute material which I plan to use to make another underbelly/gear hammock out of. I was...
I saw what's called an underbelly on the eno site and thought is was a great idea. So I made one out of a 50lb. rice bag. Now I have a place to store shoes, pack ect. Works pretty good and didn't...
Just wanted to know what the general opinion of the eno doublenest was. How many use it and what are your thoughts about it? Is it a hommock which can be upgraded for 3 or 4 season use? ect. Thanks...
Nice job. Enjoyed your video very much.
Thanks guy's. Looking forward to giving it a try. Should be here today.
I am planning to sew a sleeve on the underside of my lawson to hold my pad. I was wondering if a tablecloth would work for that. Any thoughts would be appreciated...:)
Does anyone one know if a ENO single bug net will fit over any parachute hammock?
I was hoping to try it over the Thanksgiving weekend but we had a cold front move in and with we got much colder temps. I plan to work on the sleeve pouch next week and in the meantime maybe the...
Thanks for your input guys. I really appreciate it. I use my HED most of the time but as you know once you start hanging you just can't have too many hammocks. I plan to use the BRBH for deep woods...
Great idea! Thanks for sharing it. I see those hammocks all the time and just pass them by. Someone om HF made a video making a seat out of a rice bag. I'm think I could make a storage sack out of...
Thanks ibegary,
I have heard that staking out the corners will make it more stable. What type of cord did you use for the tie outs? Will 550 paracord do or do I need something...
I picked up a used one for a really good price. I liked the idea of a bridge hammock. I have a HED but can't seem to get a good nights sleep in it. Thought I'd give the BRCH a try. Thanks for your...
Has anyone ever owned or used a Lawson Blue Ridge Camping hammock? Any feedback would be appreciated.
Shug is the best. The man is full of life and knows how to have fun. He also knows the proper way to enter a hammock!!!
I'll be drinking H20 on my next adventure!!!
Or Pads for my butt...OUCH!!!
I was camping with a buddy not long ago and we sat around the campfire sipping some Jonny Walker. I guess I had one to many because when I was ready to retire for the night I had a major blunder. As...
I just spent 4 nights in my HHE as well.It was the first time I used the under cover or SS. I had some problems getting the mat back in place once I was in the hammock. I had some cold spots the...
I think I may have you beat. I spent a week in my HH last week and on the last night of the trip we opened a bottle of scotch, Well when it was time to call it a night as I was getting into my HH I...
I'll be hanging at Sproul State Forest ( Clinton Cty. Pa.) in mid june for about a week.
To me the whole idea of camping is to get away and enjoy the outdoors. If adding a tarp or any item for that matter will allow me to spend more time in the outdoors then bring it on. A good safe and...
Sarahgirl I had a similar experence over the labor day weekend. I was sound asleep in my HH when I heard a sniffing sound near my head. It was a full moon so I was able to look up through the...
Last year at the same site we had black bears coming in. They don't worry me as much as coyotes do. I wish I could have stayed a few weeks out there.Four days wasen't long enough. I can't remember...
Could be that they just require use of tree huggers.
Well I'm a hanger for life now. I spent the labor day weekend hanging in my HHED at Sproul State Forest in Central Pa. Went Thurs. -Mon. Except for the coyotes that kept coming into camp everything...
Great idea. I'll be at my buddies upholstery shop as soon as I find a few bags.
Thanks for the post and link.
I use a small "Babies Crib" pillow under my knees when sleeping on my back and between my knees when sleeping on my side. You can get them anywhere they sell infant supplies. Wallmart, K-Mart ect....
I do alot of camping off my atv so a hammock was the logical choice. It allows me the freedom to camp where ever I choose without the need of a flat area. It has reduced my load weight also. All I...
Thanks for all the replies guy's. I thought I saw some pics on this site somewhere but with all the info I'm having a hard time finding it. I believe it was very similar to what WBG had suggested....
Guess I should have added my stats too. 6'1" about 230 lbs. I'm a cold sleeper too and I like to sleep on my right side. Don't know if that makes any difference?
I just bought a Speer's 1/4 x 80x40 pad. I am currently using a Hennessy Explorer Deluxe. I plan to use it inside the H. Can any of you guy's recommend the best way to cut it to fit in my H ? I need...
Great idea. It's true you learn something new everyday. (On this site anyway). Thanks for posting this. I carry a poncho and liner anyway. I may as well put it good use when I'm not wearing it.You...
I would think that the hennessy with it's bottom entrance would be of great value in this instance...:rolleyes:
I took some pics but I'm waiting on my daughter to post them for me. It's all greek to me...:D I haven't had a good nights sleep since I got back...:( Can't wait to get back in the mountains so I can...
