    I'm game to try it. Looking forward to your plans (interested in your footbox).

    Great work!

    I have enjoyed your posts and videos for years. I like the UL approach, even if I am not a UL person myself. My knees appreciate attention to pack weight, especially on descents. Thanks for all the videos and the Hennessy mods.

    So, you can effectively use a 48" wide hammock if you add a foot box? That is tres interesting.

    The detail about how you get a UCR to stay stable is a bit vague to me. Exactly where do you put the supporting tubing?

    Sgt---hoping you can go over the silicon bit at the tail of the UCR with close-up pictures. I didn't get it quite on the vid, but for me that was the most interesting part of the hammock. thx
