Just keep trying there is a learning curve and as hh user as well they give me a hard time at first as well. I went n got an eno and tried that till I got the hand of how to position my body to find...
Ya the hh only has one way to lay, just follow the side tie outs your head has to be on one of them
You can reverse N sleep at the foot end just fine and have done it for my dog who was nervous and...
I'm up in Alaska right now and I'll be flying down sometime in march and will start a couple of days befor the kick off party I should be in campo on the 25 of April. Im from los angeles n do have...
and with the ss you wont need a larger tarp
the hennessey and the ss can handle 40 easy temp wise and isnt to pricy
no one is going to be on the pct this year
i would just do it close to home for the first few hikes, use trailheads that get a lot of traffic till your comfortable with being alone.
if your skill level is there do it
i think the coldest night was -10 or 15, i was warm so i cant tell you for sure, i was out of cell service so i couldnt check the temp
the nest doesnt work with the stock ss tarp beacuse of the...
bottom enty is the way to go. it has a slight learning curve but its makes life simple with its fast and easy with one step closure cuz your body weight does all the work
one set back is if you...
i will be attempting a hike on the pct this spring n summer and want to know if anyone would like to partner up and tag along for sections

sorry i have not been updating, iv been out fishing and havent had anytime to hang
it has been one of the coldest winters in kodiak in many years and i did spend a few night in well below 0 deggrees...
The uc is going to keep the wind of the air mat and therefore let it retain heat. I'm not sure why they say an extra pad will mess anything up. It's just holding air in one place so that your body...
Looks like I'll be working late on gear and won't be able to hang tonight
the ss with space blanket and an extra thermarest, i put the thermarest in the uc. it drives me insane when its in the hammock with me.
my feet did get cold around 6am, im thinking about putting a...
It was 18 this morning I have no idea what the low was last night but I was very warmfor the most part. I used just used the ss with a sPaceblanket and a thermarest pad.
It would be nice if...
It had to be one of the coldest nights for me in the ss. I'm pretty sure it was zero or lower just before sunrise. Kodiak is having a cold week so I'll be doing some testing on different set ups....
Tonight will be somewhere between 5 and 15 deggrees
So I'm going to reall push a simple setup tonight
My setup for tonight will be the ss with space blanket and a thermarest
The best winter setup in below freezing weather is a good tarp and uq. I like the ss for it's speed and stealth and saves...
Iv tried the uq inside the if and it does work but it loses it's ability to hold heat because it's comPressed. I throw sweats pants jackets n whatever I got on cold nights
It's going to be around...
It's damp here but it's just above freezing and I'm very close to the ocean so maybe it help with condensation.
Last night diped into the low teens
I was nice n toasty warm with the ss and uq...
i just checked the weather for tonight and it will be dipping into the low 20s
so i might be using that extra pad tonight
ya i started this thread last winter
my current set up is the stock ss with a space blanket and i have a underquilt on the outside of the ss
for summer and most of fall i used the stock ss and was...

Work is slowing down a bit for a day or two as we switch seasons so I will try to get out n set up my ss n show how the pads are set up. But I noticed that the ss is on sale big time on there site. ...

i just use snake skins and take out the pad. its really fast and easy and dont plan on getting the pad back in the og stuff sack unless you wanna spend half the day trying.
so i would say use your...
ya it will work no problem,
are you a heavy sweater or do you notice alot of condesation when you wake up. with a uq you can always leave a gap at the foot end or the head end to let some air flow...
i get my first check soon and will be able to get a camera and find a way to upload some photos but i cant do it at the library since they dont allow uploads of any kind. but iv made a few friends so...
sorry iv been working alot and havent had time to get to the library and my phone is dead since i cant really charge it alot. its been really warm like 32 to 40s the last week and just raining. i...
so i was thinking about the weight between a ss set up and a uq set up
the ss is about 1lbs plus the 2lbs for the hh so about 3 to 4 pounds all together
now a uq set up is 2lbs for the hh. then...
not till the 3rd iv just been hanging out lol
iv been doing some cleaning and training but the real work doesnt start till next week then its 12 hours plus.
the stock tarp offers enough coverage when pitched right, it does its job of keeping you dry even without the ss i have never had any up slash and wind drivin rain come into my hammock
thats the beauty of the ss it doesnt need a huge tarp to function like a uq would need.if i were to thru hike the pct again i would bring the ss over a uq because of the easy set up. just throw the...
no pics yet i can only use my phone right not but soon.
as condesation there is some but i leave my bag inside out all day n it dries out but there isnt alot. with the over cover the stock tarp is...
it should snow the next few nights and the wind is really kicking up so i might have to go to the ground again. im sure my tarp will hold up though i built a little snow wall on the outside of the...
there is a boat that does cannery work called the star of kodiak that they used after the tidal wave that wiped out the town. im working on the pics, im using a phone right now but ill find a way ...
the good weather of kodiak is going to hold out till next week now, the forecast changed again but it will still be windy but you never know here
the next few nights should be in the low teens and with a wind gust up to 80 miles so im going to set up the hh with the ss and really see how she does in fowl weather. i will have my large tarp set...
sorry if its hard to read im using a phone and i have a word limit so i cut stuff up to fit
used the uq last night and there were no cold spots at all and i slept the whole night through. i was a...
woke up to about a foot or higher around my tarp other then that everything is good
tonight ill be using a uq without the ss and oc. if i need to ill add the over cover but ill try to just test the...
good think i didnt try it then i have the smaller ones but the ss does fit in without the pad.
i have a huge blue tarp from walmart that gives me a ton of space and i have a small ti goat stove...
the thermarest did perfect last night no cold spots at all. i do think some velcro will help out alot as i will be adding some tonight cuz the pad did slide around a bit when i was getting in. it...
i think ill add a pad tonight to see how it effects the ss. i really see why tom went with a uc as a uq. the quilt would lose heat with only the stock tarp. i do preffer a quilt for comfort but the...
