HH Expedition Classic Arrived

16 days or so

That sucks that it takes that long!

However I was just a bit too impatient... It came today!

I was actually thinking it was pretty fast considering it was international shipping. I ship things from VA to Canada (New Brunswick) all the time and they average about 21 days and longer at Xmas.

So what type of UQ are you guys using with the classic entry? I am in process of trying to make a PLUQ but know I will need something a bit better for colder temps.

When I first started out I used a large gossamer gear pad and a synthetic sleeping bag that got me down to 40*. I was able to find a used Jacks R Better Nest which so far has taken me to 35* Underquilts are so much nicer to sleep with than pads. The Nest is made specifically for the classic bottom entry, but also fits my DIY gathered end hammock. I have an underquilt protector made by 2QZQ which I just push aside to get into and out of the hammock. Arrowhead Equipment also makes the Potomac underquilt which I understand works with the bottom entry HH. Hennessey also makes the Supershelter, but I haven't used it.

I see from your profile that you have a Noah 12. Have you ever used it over the Hennessey? If so which way did you hang it?

I hang the Noah's 12 several ways. Sometimes I use it with one side down and the other up in porch mode using my trek poles, sometimes I bring both sides way down, and sometimes I bring the first tie outs in like doors. It's a really versatile tarp, but not lightweight. I will be adding a smaller tarp but won't get rid of my Kelty.
