Update for me and the Haven Tent: I bought one and have slept in it every night since it arrived in early January. It's a game-changer for my sleeping comfort, the quality and length of my sleeps,...

Dang. I wouldn't have posted a duplicate thread if my forum searching skills were better. Thought I had been the first one to bring up the Haven Tent here. Sorry! But I would still like to see...

Has anyone at HammockForums participated in the Kickstarter campaign and received one of these? I'm intrigued by the design, which looks as comfortable as my Amok Draumr XL. Perhaps Shug won't be...

Shug, watching your Draumr videos (and lots of your other videos) kept me going these past months while waiting for delivery of my Draumr XL. Thanks to you, I knew how to finesse all the little...

I ordered a green one too. I just hope Amok doesn't ask me to prove that I'm taller than 6'1" before they ship it to me. :)

I bought an extra large "matrimonial" hammock on the beach at Zihuatanejo for 900 pesos, around US$75 at the time last April. It was woven by the vendor's grandfather (or maybe that was just Jose...

I've heard that ants won't climb across white paint--I've seen trees in Texas and Mexico painted white a foot or two near the base, and I think it was to prevent ants getting up into the fruit. This...

Thanks for the insight into your BMBH setup. I need to procure a large tarp--that'll be my next gear purchase. Isn't there always conveniently a "next one?"

Below is a photo of my basement BMBH...

No lip service here--how about some more excited chatter?

The sheepskin bedcover was given to me because I suffer from temperature regulation problems when I sleep in a regular bed: I wake up in a...

Thanks to the JRB Nest and a Christmas gift of a sheepskin bedcover, which fits inside the BMBH and has corner elastics that attach to the mini-carabiners of the suspension system, I had the best...

It's a delicate balance I have going in the household with the overall number of hammocks and the number of hooks drilled into the walls. I may be able to sneak another one in there, so that's a...

I tried shortening one end, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference in the slope of the hammock. I've read here that the geometry of the suspension and the knack to setting it up are...

I received my BMBH yesterday and of course went straight to the basement to set it up. I think I will not be able to overcome the problem of having the two hanging hooks set in the walls at even...

I can't wait--I've got a Christmas sale BMBH on the way! It looks like I was one of the final orders before JRB became temporarily out of stock.

I plan to use it indoors to coax my wife (die hard...

I did it this summer in my basement:

I was still cold on my back unless I had an underquilt (or a sleeping bag rigged as...

Willyp: if the hammock works for helping with your back pain, why not try to evangelize your wife? :scared:

Knighthorse: I enjoyed your "novel." :D

p.s. My daughters have just noticed the...

I tried exactly this approach, but it did not work. I thought it was entirely reasonable to lie in the hammock a few inches above the bed and right next to my wife, able to roll out onto the bed at...

Okay, I took one of me in the hammock, and one of the cat. The black sleeping bag at the foot of the hammock slips up over me like a cheapo under/over quilt--it gets cold at night in the basement.

I'll try and take some pictures and post them this evening. I suspect that despite my best efforts, my home setup will still look a little bit too "Squalid Urban Basement."

That's it, Tiki wins the thread.

Amen!

Unfortunately, if you want to sleep in a hammock full time, you've got to prepare yourself to be considered a bit of a loon by the majority of people. I think many of us hangers secretly...

I use a XXL size "matrimonial" Mayan hammock for sleeping, with eye bolts into studs on either side of my basement. I wear one of those Snuggies you see on TV, wearing it backwards so wherever I...

Happy Canada Day to Canadian hammockers, and happy early 4th of July to American hammockers from this Canadian/American hammocker. Go out and celebrate two great freedom-loving nations with a hang...

I am of the Judeo-Christian belief as far as the story of creation goes, but I've got to hand it to the Mayan creation myth I just read about, where the spider god Tocotl weaves an enormous hammock...

Last night, with the wife and kids out of town, I slept in my woven Mayan hammock in the cool of the basement, and one of our cats, "Punchy," a real scaredy-cat, climbed up nearby and meowed to be...

Grizz,

I'm still a strict hugger and cleat hitch type of guy for my simple overnight outings, but I've got to say that your recent videos are extremely seductive hammock hanging "porn" to...

This has been a fascinating thread. It makes me feel terrified to:

A)Endure a lightning storm while camping, and
B)Endure a lightning storm while in my own home.

The answer, then, is to just...

In late 2006, I was watching Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto," and during the scenes in that movie that were constructed to show how idyllic the life of the little jungle tribe was before the big...

I live in Surrey, but do most of my hammock camping overnights around Lake Osoyoos during the Summer. I'd be up for a meetup in the Lower Mainland.
