Fantastic. Thanks.
You know, I really am a friggin' brain donor. I just assumed with those extra grosgrain loops in the middle of the length that I would be tying off there. If I had looked...
Okay, so I had someone (my mommy) sew me a KAQ, but part 7 (finishing) was left for me to do.
The instructions leave me with at least three questions that I can't answer.
...
WOW! I definitely didn't expect that. I am truly excited!
Not sure whether to revive a long dead thread or start a new one, so here goes:
Because I know my limitations, I having my mother sew me a KAQ. My question is, how small will this get in a...
I regularly check out Fatwallet for deals, but I thought I'd post the link to the hammaka chairs and stand. http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/843884/
I figure that someone might find some...
This past week I did seventy miles to give me an uninterrupted stretch from Hanover to Monson, ME. That's a nice piece of hiking you have ahead of you.
As for the hang, I vote for the Grafton...
I agree, we need an ME/NH hangout!
I don't want to hold anyone up, but I will be able to decide by Thursday if you are indeed waiting until the end of the month.
I did a cursory search, but didn't find anything for "multi wrap". Is this like it sounds: wrapping it enough times that no knot is needed? If so, how many wraps are sufficient, and is there any...
Is the change to the Speer's suspension necessary, or even just preferable? What does the standard suspension consist of?
Edit:
It appears to a strap, but is there any buckle, or is Ed's...
I'm not going to vote yet, but I think I am indeed interested in a travel hammock. It'll need to clear waivers (read: wife) first, however.
Question: I only have experience with my HH ULBA; does...
I was lamenting the onRope minimums and shipping costs for cinch buckles, when a member sent me a pair for free. I used the money I saved to donate. I certainly don't have anything else...
Thanks for this idea!!!
I have been going back and forth over what to use for my newly cut (read: snapped) ridgeline. I didn't care for the local outfitters options, as I thought the 'biners were...
Or in this case, Jim's ridgeline.
I had just installed the cinch buckle suspension on my HH UL and really cranked on it. I've always done the same when using the stock huggers. I didn't...
In my first DIY attempt ever (nothing like starting out small), I installed the tensioners via HC's method.
As for the knots, I put a simple knot (not sure what it's called) in the guyline prior...
When cutting your cord, do you folks do anything to neaten up the ends, like burn them?
Sorry, I didn't read the response directed towards me before posting.
I think that "closer" to the coast really limits you in the fact that you can't get multiple days out of it. I think that the...
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. The West and East loop are both 20 Miles each. Ambition hikers could do both in 4-5 days, but you could have a great time knocking out either one while exploring the...
Also, a few years ago (with a similar amount of snowfall as this year), I did that section on memorial day and there was still some decent snow cover. However, it was the result of tens of feet...

I have only done the portions that are on the AT, but it is comprised of two loops, east and west. The trail is brand new, new shelters (if hammocking, only important...
Nope, they still have a minimum of 5.
I don't need 5, just 2!
OK. No more disparaging on my part. :)
Are these, in your opinion, still the best route?
Yeah, I new about that, but the 50% increase is what made me balk. I'm wondering if the influx of the hammockers caused them to reconsider their pricing, which kind of ticks me off.

A month ago, Angry Sparrow posted some instructions here http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3129 on sew-less...
Based on the premise that I'm not sewing anything, and that I wish to put the Maccat deluxe in separate skins, should I just order some from HH, despite grumblings that the #3s may not cover the...
What is the SG catalog?
I spare no expense...for my girlfriends. My wife is lucky she's not forced to cowboy camp! :D
Yeah, that might not go over well: "Honey, you should stay dry under this postage stamp. However,...
I have a stock Hennessy that I have recently replaced with a MacCat Deluxe (pinto---->caddillac!), however, I want to get a new, inexpensive hammock for my wife who will only use it occassionally. ...
Okay, as it appears that my first noob thread was fairly well received, I'm now emboldened enough to try another!
Snakeskins: I've got an Explorer Ultralight A-Sym HH. Even with the stock tarp, ...
Follow up question:
When wrapping the webbing to the tree, I assume you just feed one end through the loop on the other...therefore, would you purchase a single length of webbing with a loop in...
And I thank you. I'm certainly open to other ideas, but I like the idea of the method that I have to do some work, but nothing that can't be fixed/undone. Thanks again.
OK, how much cord?
I can't determine what the length of each unit on the APS site is, either.
P.S. I have chosen not to take this to PM, only because I'm holding out hope that their are...
Also, how much webbing is recommended for each end?
That looks pretty good! Do HHs all have zip ties?
Yeah,
I don't like tieing/untieing all the time either, especially if the knots are wet or frozen.
Did I mention I was lazy?:o
I'm channeling my inner Homer here.
I love my HH but I hate the straps/HH knot. I feel like I am very limited in my site selection because the stock straps are all too often too short for the...
Me as well. I didn't understand it, because:
I haven't posted any pictures, so she doesn't know how handsome I am;
I mostly just lurk, so she doesn't know how brilliant I am;
It must be my...
Quick Question:
When using and SPE with a therma rest and a CCF pad, which pad goes on top of the other?
I have the military equivalent of the explorer ultralight that my parents purchased as a gift; I think they paid additional money to get the Canadian manufactured version. ($40?)
Thanks HE; he's actually at a point where, after several unsuccessful surgeries, it's probably never going to improve, so it's more a quality of life issue. Obviously, a hammock may allow him to get...
Hi all,
I’ve been lurking for nearly a year now and am finally posting. I got an HH Exp. UL for Christmas and have since purchased an SPE, a setup that I’m happy with for three seasons up here in...
I recently got a Hennessy ultralight, but have yet to sleep in it. I will use it this spring and fall, but don't plan on purchasing anything other than a pad (not this year anyway).
