Just noticed your "sticky" on "Staying on topic". One must lead "by example".

Heading to the Smokies for my Spring hike,hang and Fly Fishing trip. This is a Tues,Wed and Thurs trip. I have scheduled this week off and these particular days mean a less traveled path. If you...
Hey ohmgrown,
Brian's been having trouble with his website and thus e-mail. I had the same problem a while back and just happened to catch him here on this site one day and he gave me the...
Hey Mule,
From Speer Site. I think this should cover it.
Argument noted. Hummm, I'm going to time myself in the next couple of days trying this with the Tri-Glides and with the improved (Risk's) 4 wrap. I will attempt to prove that a double wrap with...
Hey Hog,
Maybe we need to rename this the Adjustable "GRIPE" Hitch.:p Knot trying to be sssssKnotty!:D
So how did the experiment come out? Is there a tittles worth of difference? Next time...
This is Tennessee! Snow here today and gone tomorrow? My kids are sick and missed what little snow we recieved yesterday?:(
The hammock set up was temporary and for pic purposes only. I did...
Got um in the mail this afternoon. Here are a couple of quick pics of them in action with my Speer Hammock.. They hold great and are very easy to use and adjust. Enjoy...
Absolutely! I would add comfort also. Like um,love um,hate um it's all individual choice and preference. I have many different hammocks and like different things about each of them. I don't hate...
These little doodads sure have caused a big ruckus! Maybe this should be the first Hammock Video Tutorial? :p Webbing around tree and back to webbing, adjust... I think this is the answer. When...
Hey Daibutsu,
I think I misread your "initial" statement? My question was leaning more toward false advertisement and poor craftsmenship. The opening thread was asking about purchasing a HH. I...
How so? From an informed consumer standpoint. Just curious...
Or, you could tie one end of the tarp to the tree and leave the other connected to the prusik. This works well for me and I don't have the sag problem. Just another option.
I use the stock...
Sorry to hear that mule.
I can't answer all your questions as I don't have a Jungle. I can confirm that it has a double bottom and has a channel at the ends of the hammock for the rope to run through. Both of the layers...
Here's a question for you guys who like to crunch numbers?
Approximently how much force is exerted on these Tri-glides given a 70kg man hanging at a 30 or 35 degree angle? Is it the same as a...
He's already given up the "Neo Tarp". It's just a matter of time? :D
Sweet! Thanks for the Tri-Glide eye candy! Looking forward to getting mine...
Should be getting mine in a few days. Will let you know how they work out on my Speer....:)
I have an HH Explorer UL and Deluxe. I use a BA Lost Ranger +15(left zip) and find that it works well! Good Luck....
I've divorced the Taut-line. This is my trophy knot!:D
In my never ending search for great knots I have discovered and am now using this Knot to tie off my tarp corners. I like to use Mason Line for obvious reasons and really like it's durability,price...
I have the Explorer Deluxe without bug net. It is a very comfortable hammock. I have hauled it into the backcountry a few times but I have lighter options these days. I really enjoy hanging it in...
Hummmm, My kids might like that... or maybe even the wife...:)
Looking forward to a post hang report on them...
Thanks! Think I'll order a set and give um a whirl.....
Did a search but did not find anything. Anyone tried the new JRB Tri-Glides? I have not done any mods on any of my hammocks. I really enjoy tying a good knot and just look at it as part of...
Your a good man! But so are most folks,if not all, here on HF... Nice to see character and integrity....
Is he wearing a parachute?:D Things that go BUMP in the night.....:eek: Your a brave man! Hope it goes well for you and him. If I told my son(5) hop on up there, he would give me one of those...
Nice job on the mod Hector. I bought one of Redbeards new 10' no-net claytors and agree 100% with the stuff sack! Having said that, I am very,very pleased with the comfort of this hammock! Extra...
Is the March trip with or with out kids? I'll have to check my schedule to see what I have free. What dates are you looking at?
Cold is good... Extreme cold is EXTREMELY good! Gotta push the envelope!!
We are Winter Warriors!! Nice report....
I use ccf pads and find them quiet comfy in many of the same ways described above! In my HH they allow me to lay flatter and help to spread out the hammock for less shoulder squeeze. I like them...
You forgot to add, stoked the fire under the still and sampled some of the corn squeezin's! ;) Beats any day at home or at the office 100 to 1.
Absolutely! Looking forward to taking the kids up this spring. If your still interested we can plan something in a few months? Wish you could have made this one. I most likely would not have...
Get busy living or get busy dying! Dude, that is over the top awesome. I'm still trying to recover from the temps you posted! I would love to join you on one of those trips but my poncho liner...
The Big South Fork delivered on my expectations. It was an awesome couple of days with great weather and no foot or animal traffic to be seen. Of all the trials that I hiked the Twin Arches Trail...
Come on,you only live once! If you get divorced or fired you will have more time for hiking and hanging!:D
I have croc(knock-offs) that have seen many a stream bottom.
Great report and pics. You covered some of the same ground that I am solo hiking this coming weekend! I am starting at Slave Falls Trail Head (Sawmill) and hiking a big loop by way of Twin Arches...
For a weight difference of 1.7oz I'll take the deluxe any day and cut weight some where else! But not the whisky! :D
I don't see the deluxe limiting my site selection that much... JMHO......
I have a the HH Explorer UL and the Deluxe and have used nothing other than the stock fly. This is intentional. I am trying to see how far I can push it! Wind can be a pain at times. To help...
Doesn't work here either? Same thing about needing cookies enabled...
Interesting question? Have never tried it. Can't see why it wouldn't work as long a the stand could handle the max load? Maybe someone here has tried it or see's a reason why it wouldn't...
Is this the one? Only one that comes up on my search?

Absolutely not! I love mine. Very comfortable!! Not the lightest option for back country hiking but that's what my other hammocks are for.:)
A while back(search the HH thread) Hennessy had a good deal on no-net hammocks. I picked up a no-net deluxe for 40 bucks! You might e-mail or call Tom and see what he has? Worth a try?? Good...
Funny this post came up! I just e-mailed the Preachers Wife to see if she could do this for me?:)
Geat job on the zipper by the way!! Looking forward to having my own....
I'm waiting for the "Holy Grail" tarp. Why not set the bar?? :)
I haven't even recieved my Speer Hammock yet(here tomorrow) but I think this is going to be my "go to" set up. As others have said, light weight, removable bug net, excellent customer service,...
