Welcome Soccermac. Jeeping and hammocking are a great combo. You can get far back into the bush with everything your jeep will carry, and with your roll over bar being up high you've always got at...

For warmth I've got a reflectix pad for my Aussie to lie on, she likes to be right under the hammock.

I got a hand me down from a relative. Ask around and you may get lucky. Mine is an easily serviced Necchi and all it needed was a cleaning and greasing.

I've seen some figure 9 carabiners there as well as some steel welded decending rings there as well.

I have the Jungle Safari Zip, very similar to the Deep Jungles, just more material, a bit bigger. My first hammock was a Leaf Lounger XL that I bought on sale, to get a look at HH. I was thoroughly...

Thanks for your responses. I was thinking of a prototype wookie design and thought this might do. jgscott, backyard and jeep / motorcycle camping is my style, thanks for the input. Caminante, your...

I've told my Mrs. that we've enough pillows to fill Pasadenas' Rose Bowl. She said "so get rid of the crummy ones". Would the pillow poly fill be of any use as mild temperature TQ or UQ diy projects?

Welcome from Kansas. The south of England is some of the most beautiful country I've ever seen. Good times.

There's a youtube of a guy living in his Wrangler. He has removed his passenger seat and hung his GE across. I've tied off to my roll cage several times when only one tree was on site.

Today's Wagon Train (1960's western tv saga) had Major Adams (Ward Bond) fixin' to bed down in a GE hammock stretched between two wagons. His suspension looked to be about a 1" sisal rope. Angie...

My Mrs bought one of those fancy schmancy washers that doesn't have agitators, just a big drum. No muss no fuss. I just throw the hammock in as is and it works great.

My Aussie 2yrs, field dog that she is will not go under cover outside. It seems to be inbred to her to lay in the open, ever watching the herd. I have a piece of tyvek as a ground cover with a...

It's always something. Just last week I welded my spare receiver hitch up to the front of my tractor so I could more easily slip equipment trailers around out back. I had initially thought I'd make...

Yep, welding is a great skill. I use a 240v MIG on steel and find that anything I can dream up I can make. Now, not everything I think up SHOULD be built, some of my ideas have been real stinkers. An...

You'll love it. I have the Jungle Safari Zip and it's great too. It's big and comfy. Coupled with the Typhoon tarp, I've got just what I want.

We have a pecan tree in the yard and the squirrels are collecting, chewing and dropping on my rig. It will pass shortly. The dogs are well entertained at least.

True enough about coyotes, my aussies want to answer the call of the wild. I have had to put them in an outbuilding or in my jeep for the night.

Some trees will grow tap roots, (imagine a carrot) that will go down as far as the tree goes up. It really does depend upon the specie of tree and to an extent the ground conditions.

+1 on the whip-poor-wills ... coyotes make a lot of racket around here too, I've had to lock my dogs down as they want to answer the call of the wild it seems.

HH has put their Leaf model hammock on sale. I bought the XL model earlier this year and found it to be an excellent single layer non netted hammock. It has all the features of their other hammocks...

The only con I can think of is that with these specific big double bottomed models, the 4 season HH Super Shelter isn't an option. Either you go with an underquilt, or a Reflectix/space blanket/pad...

I second Alphabennetts' post. I used it on a DIY reflectix pad and it worked great.

Great post, thanks for the info.

I bought the HH Typhoon for my Jungle Safari Zip. I tied a ridge line into it and fold it over for clear skies or use it in porch mode with poles. I've yet to use the storm panels but as it has been...

As Confucius says, wood fires sparks and nylon don't mix. Thank you all.

As cooking fires go, I've read a lot about folks cooking right outside their hammock. I presume that most are using backpacking or small gas fired stoves, (I have a dual fuel Coleman, and can siphon...

I bought the HH Typhoon 70d for my big HH. It works great. You could get the HH Monsoon 30d Silnylon for your Hyperlight. It comes with detachable rain doors, weights just 18 oz.

I've only added a ridge line under my Typhoon tarp and really only because I can fold back over it in order to see the stars if I care to. I bought a couple of HH ridge line bags for storage and...

I use them on every tree but I also just lash my supplied suspension as directed by Hennessy. All stock works for me.

I bought the Hennessy poly Typhoon and find it to be just what I need. I'm dry. We're experiencing somewhat more rainfall this summer in the plains here, not too much violent weather where I am. But...

Sam I Am is looking pretty pleased in that picture. My Aussies wrestle and play hard underneath me day and night, I don't mind, it kinda tickles. no stakes pulled but slobbers a plenty. Luv them dogs.

I wanted to learn to work in fabrics, I work in wood, I work with metals, now I sew

My mom, born and raised in Wyoming, described the northern lights that she had seen as a child in much the same manner that you have described what you've seen. We've been told that here in the...

I cut two of my failed DIY reflectix pads down to size for my dogs to lie on in cooler weather. They lie directly under me year round. It's nice getting bumped from underneath by them. Kinda like...

"Until it goes all nova on you" .... I'll have to remember that one. Pop culture does seem to reign these days. STEM is where progress is born however. I remain entrenched in my world of wonder and...

A big shout out to the Kansas Astronomical Observers, a non profit group that resurrected the Lake Afton Public Observatory here just outside Wichita. The Wichita State University and Segwick County...

The Perseids are the biggest meteor shower of the year and while they seem to come from a point in Perseus, I'm told you can look in all areas of the sky and see them ... 60 - 70 per hour

Sadly I relate to that. More so in a conventional bed but some nights are like that.

I second the foot tension adjustment.

Yeah, you can't miss with the Hennessy, you get everything you need and nothing you don't, quality is top drawer.

My double layered HH has o-ring clips for their double bubble radiant pad (reflectix). The pad has mitten hooks to attach to the o-rings and it stays put. I had made several DIY pads and tried nearly...

Yeah, the quality is said to have taken a hit when they went from the Japanese built to Taiwan, (and probably later to China). My 537 FA machine is Taiwan built, but when I opened er' up to service,...

I have the 537 FA model. Necchi are real quality machines. Don't fall for "Industrial strength, heavy duty" hype, but you can count on Necchi machines, people have for the last nearly 100 years. That...

I'd take a stretch of rain about right now. It's been "H" hot in the midwest since early June, with raised humidity to go with it. We're supposed to have a "cooling down" to the lower 90's for the...

I'd recommend checking out relatives basements for a put aside machine. If it's older and more mechanical than electronic and of course in good shape, you'll have struck gold. I got a Necchi from...

I have my Leaf XL set up in the house and my Jungle Safari just outside. I'd say the Leaf is very much like my Jungle Safari. Actually I like it more as it is not double bottomed so it is a softer,...

I stand corrected on the Leaf then. However, when I inquired at HH about the availability of a 4 Season kit for my Jungle Safari Zip, I was told that because of the extra mats used in it, (size) it...

My Jungle Safari Zip is the biggest of the Hennessy line. It's 11', rated for 7' people and rated 17.5 stone. It is zippered on one side but you can just unzip it the whole length and fasten the net...

Hennessy Hammock has websites for the English as well as EU markets.

Hennessy has the Jungle Safari Zip to fit you. I have one. I love it.
