Made a deal with cliffhanger. No longer looking. Thanks.
Thanks for letting me know.
Yes, but they are asking a little more than the price for a new one. Thanks for the reply.
I have a Hennessy and I've used their under quilt system for a couple of years, and it's just not cutting it. I'm also a bit of a cold sleeper and it looks like the Mt. Washington 4 fits the bill. ...
It sounds like you have the hammock too tight. Is the ridge line tight like a guitar string?
I went to Yellowstone last week with my family. My camp site had a great view of a meadow with Yellowstone Lake and mountains in the background. The only problem is there were no trees where I wanted...
I have made the recommended adjustments to to the system to fit my hammock and to secure the disks for quicker set up. I have one question to those of you that have made the adjustments. How do you...
I have two kids they are 12 and 9, but we started camping when the oldest was 6 months old. They both love to hammock camp. I suggest you make sure they know how to work the zipper on the bug net...
They sell tarp zippers at Home Depot. They just tape on each side of the "door". I've never used them, but they seem very easy to install. I like the shock cord idea!
If I'm car camping I always bring my 20 foot Home Depot tarp. I set it up in an "A" frame configuration with poles. I have looked all over for quality adjustable poles for the main corner posts and...
If I'm not backpacking I take a battery jumping machine. (I'm sure that's not the correct name) it has jumper cables, USB port, a light, and a regular plug just like at your house. I bought mine at...
I'm hoping for some sage advice. I made a reservation for a site in the Bridge Bay campground. From what I understand there are nice areas and not so nice areas in the campground. I have searched...
+1 on the prusik with a biner.
No worries Jason. Thanks for the offer, but the I think the Amsteel will work fine. I'll check to see if there is a raised area on the metal. Thanks again for the offer!
I received mine a couple of weeks ago and I really like it. I made the suggested modifications in order to fit my Hennessy. The only issue I have run into is the sheathing on the rope that attaches...
Check out the Handy Hammock. There are several posts on the forum. I think they have stakes made for the beach and the system is very portable.
I agree with georgemaung that titanium replacement rings would be great to replace the plastic ones. A perfect job for Dutch.
I don't do much backpacking. My family normally camps at state parks so weight is not an issue. That said, I normally take a large heavy duty tarp with 5 foot poles for the corners and 7 foot poles...
I just purchased a High Sierra Sniveller from Jacksrbetter, and I can't wait to use it. I started thinking about wet weather and the effect that might have on the Sniveller. Besides a possilbe...
The good people at Hennessy Hammock have a free drawing once a month if you are signed up for their newsletter. I won the drawing for May! That means I get a dream hammock setup for free!! I know...
I have a HH and I use the "Tree Hugger" straps that came with it. In the Hennessy videos they normally wrap the straps around the tree a couple of times, but I've seen several videos on Hammock...
I spent 3 nights in my Hennessy Asym. I have a thermarest pad and I couldn't keep in place. It ended up scooting way down by my rear several times, and one night I woke up and it was mostly on top...
I thought about cutting it in half, but I'm afraid it would weaken the 4x4 too much. I would need some sort of an attachment that would really reinforce that joint.
No idea on weight. The uprights are 1 inch pipe I bought at home depot. My main reason for building this is because I don't have any trees in my back yard and I need a place to hang and experiment....
I have taken a look at several hammock stands on this site, and have borrowed heavily from many of you. I thought you would like to see my version. This is my first attempt, and I have a few...
I was looking at the Burrow. Have you guys had any experience with that? It looks just like the sleeping bag set up described by several of you. It is worth the extra money?
Thanks guys, I appreciate the help!
Hello All,
I am new to Hammock camping. I just spent 2 nights in the hammock this weekend and now i've got a couple of questions. It got down to about 40 degrees, but I still got a bit cold. I...
I have enjoyed reading about this system. I have a couple of quick questions. First, I weigh about 250 pounds. What type of posts do think I would need to use to support that much weight? ...
