Going too short can also put tension on the netting and zipper. I shortened mine (deep jungle xl) about 4 inches though.

Don't know if this has been posted here before, but I just saw this on the chive and thought I would share.

Yeah that $44.00 sucks. I ordered a 0* incubator a few months ago and though I was expecting it, but then I didn't get hit with any charges. I don't seem to get hit with camping gear when I order...
I have a large one. It is worth the weight. It is so comfortable that it makes your pack and gear feel lighter.
I had an uncle that would do that. I always though it was awesome (when I was 10) and my mom would give him hell for showing me things like that.
2QZQ made me a bigger than normal peak bag for my...
We had a large "family hammock" from Venezuela when I was growing up. It was huge though I don't remember the measurements.
When two people layed with their shoulders touching and their legs...
If I make the trip I will take some pics. I meant to go last year too, but I was informed that I will be using my vacay time with the Lady. Her going is not an option. She will only camp for two...
I wouldn't mind getting on there too.

I would like to be added to, if someone feels so inclined.
Thanks
Wow, good memory!
That post was very helpful.
Thank you.
Thanks for the info. I will pick up that book.
I found this on the Hennessy website: http://hennessyhammock.com/articles/tips_from_users/
It looks like it could be tough to hang in some parts,...
I can't find any info on this.
Hammocks allowed? If so, how are the sites for hammocks?
Whoopies. I also stole two of those elastic things my girlfriend uses to make ponytails in her hair. Just a loop of loose shock cord. I use them to just make sure the whoopies don't slip off the...
1. Switch to Whoopies - I used the stock suspension to start, but it is harder to tweak. For my first couple hangs tweaking was necessary to figure out what worked best for me. I then switched to...
It's a great change from the stock HH suspension. Easy to swap out and there is not trade off or downside.
Thats pretty good!
Howdy!
What wasn't working for you?
What color?
Yes, it is pretty normal. It is the same effect that makes you feel like you are still on a boat after you get off of it. Or if you spend a few hours in the water with strong enough waves, you will...
I had seen that thread before, but forgot about it. Good info in there.
How old is it all? Whats the condition?
Do you have pics?
Might be interested in getting it for the lady.
That sounds really interesting.
I look forward to the updates.
Same thing happened with me. I called them to let them know i got both flys and he said that it was because I requested it quickly for an upcoming trip, it was quicker to have it shipped out that...
The Deep Jungle is my first and only hammock so far, so I can't compare it to anything else, but it is put together well and the zipper is solid.
I have only used it about a dozen nights now, but...
I think the 2QZQ Protector would definitely be an option worth thinking about, from what I can tell it looks pretty adjustable. You might need to do some tweaking if you like to use the hammock side...
At work we always get mail from the Bra store in #11, we are in #211.
I have ordered some winter gear from a few places recently so when the guy drops off a medium size box with only a shipping...
I used the same set up when I first got my deep jungle.
I was ordering some other stuff and figured I would get a set of whoopies cause they are cheap. The whoopies are even easier to use and if...
I have the stock HH tarp and HH Hex tarp. I think the stock tarp would be sufficient most of the time for keeping you dry. I have read posts from people saying that it is all they need for any...
I do like your hammock.
Kootenays huh? The Lady and I usually try to spend a couple weeks there a year. Used to live in Kaslo.
Unfortunately I am #1022...
I noticed the same thing, so I emailed and then phoned in my order. I am hoping we get a good cold spell mid October so I can really get good use out of it when my 0 incubator gets here.
I think I understand what you mean. I have never hung from trees quite that far apart though.
Can you maybe try hanging with the suspension closer to 20 than 35 degrees. Plus raise the tarp...
Probably not year round. I have a double layer hammock and have been using the HH reflectix insert that came with mine. During the summer I had to ditch the reflectix so I wouldn't get too hot with...
I got he Deep Jungle XL Zip, and I wish now I had the bottom entry so I could have the zip mod too.
I wish I could just easily hang my footwear from the suspension, sit back and be good. or even...
I also use one. This one:

I have it about 30%-40% inflated. It is comfy on side and back, and the shape makes...
I know this discussion has to be somewhere. Can someone point me in the right direction?
I don't know where the load calculator is, but here is a link for a pretty simply hanging method when you don't have enough trees.

Thanks, I wonder why I have only come across white and light grey ones.
What quality of Cuben prevents people from coloring it?
All the tarps, Sacks, packs and various DIY gear I have seen online is all the same color, just some is more opaque than others.
I am...
Have fun!!!
If it was an option for you, wouldn't you go for it?
I am going to look up part 1 and 2.
Maybe it will make sense then?
Being in Alberta, rain can happen anytime. It's just not worth the risk.
If you pick up one of those bushcraft books it'll keep you guys busy for a long time. You can practice various little traps, shelters, fire building techniques, knots and all kinds of things. You...
I didn't realize there were so many Albertans. I'm in Sylvan Lake, just west of Red Deer.
Howdy.
Hex tarp with 10ft all round.
A hammock in the office could be trouble..
Best of luck in your search. I really hope you have some good news shortly.
My first overnight in a hammock happened when I was probably 11 or 12. It was a family trip with a tent trailer and the hammock was a family hammock we just had for napping and reading, etc.
I...
They really do have amazing customer service.
