On the company's web page (http://highpeakusa.org/sleep_bags/panda.html) they show an interesting rope for hanging. It has you run the rope three times through loops in itself to secure it. Have you...
Thank you Slowhike and HeadChange4U. Gardenville's site is great information. Since I found a clip method to get around the single use when knotted problem with balloons, I didn't discover his great...
I've been wondering how to keep warmer using my supershelter while giving up the thickness of the open cell foam. I tried sewing a space blanket/fleece liner which kept me warmer when placed on top...
You might consider going to an REI used gear sale. I've picked up some incredible bargains that way. Our local store holds one monthly. The last one I was at I saw someone get a down mummy bag for...
Found your concerns about the garda hitch. I can confirm that using the garda hitch and rings is a wonderful way to hang. I find it really easy to set up. I have a HHUL and added SMC descending rings...

I thought I would take this staying warm thread back to a slightly more packable option. (SGT Rocks site was a great source of encouragement after I bought my Hennessy Ultralite on a whim at MEC.)...
I love the end caps too. They are like a variation on the ones used in my SkyChair (http://www.skychairs.com/index.html). In the sky chair the line runs around the cap where the rod won't rub it....
Why not stitch some ribbon over the length of the zipper to protect your hammock. The 1/4 of the bag without a zipper is your footbox. As long as you don't sleep with your legs too far apart the...
I've spent a lot of time on the forums reading about rings, buckles, and straps for hanging my Hennessy Hammock. Admittedly I've never had trouble tying the HH figure eight but I've hated untying to...
