Its more of an entertaining idea. I imagine a more robust lego style strip to be used. No legitimate logic I suppose. I'm still a kid inside and love a good lego project.

So, I'm likely behind the times with the existence of Lego tape, but have we considered the potential use in the world of backpacking, hammocking, etc?
Perhaps in place of mule tape for...

1: Why did I have to leave the forums all winter and not know about this.
2: Tips on convincing wife I need my hennessy, 2 ENOs AND this?
3: Well done Dutch and crew, these look amazing, and I love...

It is a horrifying thought, but from readings Ive done on sourcing down, china produces the worlds down partly because they eat geese and duck in that part of the world so a lot of it comes from the...

Welcome! Ive got a Hennessy Explorer UL for hiking with, and have an ENO DN at home that I'll slowly turn into a camper as well, for now it's a lounge hammock. Dont have a suspension for it as of yet...

Sediment maybe? Tasted as good as any other creek and better than any beaver pond

I watched your video after seeing your reply to my trip report. I was happy to see you mention the color of the water from springdale creek! I was concerned it was my dromedary bag that dyed it. ...

Small world! Was the sign in fact missing, or was I blind? I'll check your video. I was going to make one, but since my SD card crapped out I lost most of my photos and footage. Next time I...

Spent Thurs-Sunday hiking 35 miles of the Superior Hiking Trail this weekend. Packweight including food was 23lbs - the lightest I've ever gotten it, and it was magical.
I caught a ride from a...

NW burbs here also. Welcome! Great backpacking opportunities within a couple hours drive of home.

Did the squirrel make it?[emoji1]

I actually pulled em over the entire tarp/hammock, while setup. Didnt have to remove the tarp (not using a CRL), just pulled each skin towards the middle.
On first impression, I dont like the...

That was my first few nights. Worst leg pain/soreness in the morning Ive ever had. I did ease off a bit to get rid of it, perhaps I'll ease off more next weekend and see what happens.

I've just recently started understanding more about ridgelines and their lengths. Ive got the explorer asym zip, and its' definitely a sturdy ridgeline, but isn't that the point? From Shugs video on...

Lol, first time you introduce yourself and mention ENO people refer you to other places.
Have a hennessy and an ENO myself, its a very diverse group here. Ive learned to filter what i read and yes,...

Ive kept all stock hennessy features other than a 1 foot bugnet opening which was done more or less by accident...
I lash that thing and get it setup like the video in less than 5 mins. I assume...

How often has the spare set come into use? Im too lazy to change clothes on my weekend excursions unless they are soaked. Spare socks I wont go without because if the need is there, its crucial

What do you folks do for clothing? Other than warmth layers, do you bring extra socks or underwear, spare shirt? I always seem to pack an extra pair of socks and boxers, and a shirt for my weekend...

I slept 3 nights that got around mid to high 30s without an UQ, but in my marmot 20* mummy bag and a pad, it was chilly enough to make me want an UQ. That being said, a mummy bag is not a TQ, and...

My response was a bit tongue-in-cheek given my miserable experiences in trying to avoid DIY projects and force things to do what they shouldnt.[emoji1] Though the no-sew was a good introduction for...

Not for nothing, and again, total noob here, but... why not do what I did? Fold outer rows of squares in and use Kamsnaps to create channels, annnnd done. Then, to get that low temp rating, sleep in...

I looked into the tenacious tape, but wanted immediate resolution. I hate letting stuff sit undone. I was going to throw some duct tape on there to get me through this trip but I knew I'd want to...

So I finished my No-sew Costco UQ and wanted to test the rigging with my HH ExplorerZip in the yard, before my backpacking trip in a couple weeks.
I got it all strung up, went to sit back in the...

All good points. I've never gotten damp with the stock hennessy tarp, and I'm not expecting any strong blowing wind on the Superior Hiking Trail where I'll be. I'll save the waterproofing at this...

Okay, searched the forum and if its there, I apologize because I missed it.

I just finished making my "costco underquilt", I'll spare the details as it has been beaten to death on every...

Well would you look at that! We joined same year and don't post much. Thanks for replying, I clicked your name and it gave me the option to see your forum posts, so I tried with mine. I apparently...

Hi All!

I signed up here back in 2013 when debating the switch from ground to air. After lurking (and apparently not posting one single time but reading every single thing), I bought the Hennessy...

Finally got my first hang in my Hennessy Explorer Ultralite zip. 2-night camping trip in southern MN with my son. He got to use my old Mountain Hardwear Tent. Let me just say - if I never have to...

I just bought a HH UL Explorer zip. Have only tried it in the yard, so far love it, easy to set up, all in one packaging was nice on the wallet. Also hoping to take it to the BWCA eventually (never...

Great thread! I've got a high-strung beagle (a bit redundant) that I'd love to take with me, just to wear him out. just got a hammock which I think gives up that idea - for those of you who bring...

I've also heard Bear and Bean lake have some fishing, but when I talked to the folks at the SHT store in Two Harbors, they advised me not to count on fish for a meal. I've section hiked from the...

Got my Hammock, went with the Explorer Ultralight Asym Zip! Strung it up on some crab apple trees in the yard. Can't spend the night in it though (townhome association rules...and I'm on the board...

That all makes sense to me! That was the direction i was thinking, but why blow $100 on an upgrade i don't need. But in this case, i think I'll go with the explorer ultralight. Time to order and...

Yes, I can try 'em out, but I may lose the dividend part and sale price if I exchange/return. Unsure of that one

To fix my numbers issue ( I accidentally said the ultralight backpacker):

Sorry for the innuendo, couldnt help myself.
