Whoopie attached to biner and tree strap. This part never gets undone.

My preference lately has been to use a single carabiner to replace both the dutch clip and the toggle in my marline spike hitch setup (with whoopies).
I always keep my biner attached to the...
I've been using whoopie slings on my HH Exped. for awhile now and love them, but ... I got tired of toggles. I have cinch buckles from AHE on my wife's ENO and they are just so much easier to use...
I'm not sure round carabiners of suitable strength exist. I would view it as a safety hazard. A truly circular carabiner would be too easy to spin around such that the force is pulling on the gate...
Bottom insulation is a *MUST*. There's no getting around it. It's over 100 degrees out down here this week during the day, but it still drops into the low 70s or lower at night and that's Ok with...
After visiting straightrazorplace, I was thinking hammockforums users would benefit greatly from having a wiki to store our distilled wisdom.
The forums are great for discussions and generating...
I was thinking last night that it would be easy for me to get some cheap lightweight Walmart fabric and a yard of climashield from AHE and make a more effective sleeping bag/TQ for my children.

Hello and welcome!
Here is the link you need: Do it youself hennessy asym hammock.
For the material, I'm not sailing savvy enough to know (I live in a desert ;) ). I'm guessing it's fine...
here's the post about the arrowhead equipment sale:

Howdy neighbor! Congrats on the HH. I'm also sporting a hennessy down in the land of manana. Good times. As for larger hikes in the area that are on the todo list, have you read about the Grand...
Also, when making the RL whoopie, remember to leave the tail end (the one with the fixed eye) longer than normal. You don't need the large range of adjustment here. To visualize it a bit better,...
I started out with 30' of amsteel and made 2 whoopies with it (one for each end) That ended me up with adjustability between about 22 inches and 7 feet (per side). This is longer than I usually...
Depending on the KAQ you buy, that's about like buying the quilt and getting free shipping plus a free Insultex upgrade. :cool:
Hopefully my eno double nest will be in by Friday at which point it...
samson has some good instructions here:

If you're dealing with amsteel and the like, I believe you want instruction for class II rope. Zing it and...
Check out this video from Hennessy:

It's not as comfortable as having the full width of the hammock available, but it's quick and easy for sitting in...
That's too funny.... See I just brought me hammock to work this morning (and I work on a college campus, NMT).... was contemplating a lunchtime siesta.
No camera at work though. Screenshot or it...
Yes. You can open existing excel files, create new ones, whatever. And moreover, it supports the whole suite of tools, powerpoint, word, etc.
At any rate, they are continually getting better,...
I haven't been able to convince myself that a tarp ridge line is really useful. For my tarp I have 2 cords with fixed eyes spliced in each end (though only 1 eye per rope is really necessary and an...
If I had a guess, the angst is coming from
1) being broke
2) spending money on an IX UQ
3) having someone then say they froze their *** off with an IX UQ
Everything from there on out was...
I weep a little on the inside when I hear these sorts of things. A lot of places I hike you could easily not see any water at all for 2 full days (but then I walk slow too, so that has something to...
I work at the VLA actually :D ... But not out at the site. I work at the operations center in town on Tech's campus. Software engineer.
I see that now that I've tried attaching the whoopies. So, instead of trying to take apart and re-make the whoopies, I just didn't tie the standard hennesy knot there.
I lark's headed the end of...
Here are a couple quick pictures. Having technical issues that I don't feel like sorting out right now. At any rate, here's a shot of the hammock with my OC:

I've had a few successful projects now, and while there was a period where I was convinced my sewing machine was from Satan, I think I've tamed the beast!
First I found some ripstop something or...
So, I've been occasionally browsing the local walmart's fabric looking for ripstop nylon. The problem is, at best they will have what looks and feels like it's probably nylon... but it's only...
60?! Yikes. Maybe I'm spoiled but the last trip I went on (7 days) I saw exactly 1 other person outside of my group of 4... One, and we didn't even talk. Just passed each other on the trail with...
