I have both type of hammocks and use both depending on the situation. My personal preference is the bridge hammock though (I also have a Ridgerunner), as I tend to sleep on my side at times and the...

As with some of the others who have commented, I carry one in the Fall and Spring (not in summer though) when the temperatures look like they will go below 50°F. It helps with the wind and increases...
I did some experimenting in the cellar and first increased my hang angle. That was definitely better than what I experienced out in the field with the same Neo Air pad. Then I took a torso length...
Yes, it is a Ridgerunner and glad to hear you have had success with the xtherm. I will try both removing the middle section of the header bar and also increasing the hang angle. Thanks to both of...
Just went for an overnight and used a Neo-Air mattress with a bridge hammock. My intention would be to use a pad in place of one of my UQ's in the warmer weather. Temperature went down into low...
I have ordered two tarps from OES. I did not follow-up after I ordered, nor were there any communications I remember other than my order was accepted. In both cases the tarps showed up on my...
Just my 2 cents - but if you get an appropriate sized and temperature quilt - I think you can use it on the ground in place of a sleeping bag. And as stated above it is the best option in a hammock.
Thanks guys. All points valid. I lack trees - the hammock is strung up on my stand out on the patio - so that was a factor. Once I did the geometry - I was not even close to 30d, so I corrected...
I know from all my years working that I am a visual learner. However nothing points this out more than when I try to do something with a hammock. I have a gathered end hammock. Overall length is...
I just purchased a 40* HG Phoenix and have a basic question on the cording that is used to attach the quilt. I understand that the cord running in the channel the length of each side of the quilt -...
I am wondering if anyone may have actual experience or an opinion on the following thought.
Is it possible to moderate the effect of an underquilt? I know that making sure it is tight against the...
Looking over all the comments, I do see some references to compression sacks. I have added an under quilt to my Hennessey, sleeping bag and OES MacCat setup. Although the stuff sack for the HG...
I am not sure it this is the best forum for this question, so if it needs to be moved, please do. Anyway, I took my latest acquisitions out today to test setting everything up. What I have is a...
Just saw this posting - should have looked at it before. Ignore my PM.
Thanks.

For what it is worth - I went for the Mod4 and although I have not had a chance to take it out for a spin - I am impressed with the workmanship. I am really looking forward to not having to crawl...
Hawk-eye,
If I was smart enough to look at the second page here, I would have seen your comment as well.
Thanks.

Shumway,
That is what I have been thinking. Saw a video where I believe someone did a Mod2 the sent it back for Mod4. I want to get one more trip in here before cold weather sets in, then at...
Thanks to all for replies. Just wanted to make sure I was not overlooking something that I should have been considering. Now just need to decide when to send it along for the mod.

Just about ready to pull the trigger on a 2Q-ZQ zipper mod to my Hennessey Expedition Asym. Leaning towards Mod#2 with full length zipper on the right side as shown on the website. I am right...
Thanks to all, for the welcomes. Looking forward to perusing the information on this forum to help me make better use of my hammock.
Ordin - yes we did exchange emails a few years ago about the...
Have owned a Hennessey Expedition Asym (looks like they call it a classic for the bottom entry now) for about 5 years. I have used it in off/on depending on the time of the year and where we are...
