    Exped Scout Hammock: Review Interest?

    Hey there fellow hammockers!

    I've been scanning this site for a little while now and (mostly out of curiosity) I've searched for some opinions on my own hammock - the Exped Scout. I haven't found much and have seen several people post questions dealing with this item. Even when I purchased it I wasn't able to find much adequate info besides the technical specifications. The paperwork on the hammock alone caused me to purchase it and I have since formed my own opinions on it.

    I'd love to contribute to the vast amount of camping knowledge here, but that takes time. If there is any interest in having a formal or detailed write up on this, let me know you think it's a decent idea! I'd also love some content suggestions since I'm not familiar with conducting a in-depth review.

    As I read different topics on here, I realize that a lot of people are the 'purist DIY-er' or only buy from small cottage vendors. If you think that a review shouldn't be done because of a large company name, I'd ask you to reconsider for the sake of this knowledge base! Also, I am for the most part a simple man without a large/technical hammock vocabulary and am still learning the seemingly endless complexities of hammocking, so take it easy and explain some of the more obscure terms you might use.

    Thanks for any input! I look forward to the project if this generates enough interest.

    Also, if you have any credentials you are proud of, then let me know so this new guy can understand who is who!


    EDIT: Review posted - thanks for your input! https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...22#post1324322

    Do the review, a video review would be best, then post it in the Hennessy section (or the review section). Forget about what everyone else wants; but I bet your not the only person who wished for a good review on this hammock.

    Fergot my credentials:

    I walk 47 miles of barbed wire. I use a cobra snake for a necktie. I got a brand new house on the roadside made from rattlesnake hide. I got a brand new chimney up on top made out of human skulls. I was born standing up and talking back. My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack. My pad is very messy and there's whiskers on my chin. And I'm all hung up on music, and I always play to win. I ain't got no time for lovin' 'cause my time is all used up. Just sittin' 'round creatin' all that groovy kind of stuff. On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered 'round and they gazed in wide wonder at the joy they had found. The head nurse spoke up: Said "leave this one alone". She could tell right away that I was bad to the bone.

    You should definitely post you're review. If you're looking for ideas on how to structure it and content to include then it may be worth having a look at backpackgeartest.org and go from there.

    I'll check out that backpack gear test place and start on it asap. Thanks a bunch for replying guys! I'll try to put a link in here when I post.

    Rat - I'm curious, why the Hennesey section?

    I'm guessing he was thinking of the Hennessey Scout hammock.

    The Reviews forum would be the best location.

    The scout is also a hammock made by Exped and I think that's what he's talking about.

    There's a section for "Other Vendors and Services" also.
