HH Expedition arrived..and I have a few questions.
My HH Expedition Zip has arrived. I have a few questions. I plan to make whoopie slings and use it with the marlin spike. If I use the stock tree straps, how long should I make my whoopie slings and how much amsteel would I need? Or is the stock tree straps too short, should I get longer ones?
I plan to make either the black bishop bag or snake skins. Which one should I make? Is one better than the other? Are there any plans out there and can I use tule to make snake skins?
And last question, may sound silly, but is there a specific way to sleep in the HH.. head closer to the entry and feet to the back, head on the left side or right side?
Thanks for everyone's help.
Snakeskins, Bishop bags and position
As I don't use whoopies, I will not comment.
I like SS's for the tarp only. Makes it easy to pack safely when wet. Also allows reefing the tarp when weather is nice.
The Bishop bag is a great way to pack the hammock body IMO. Works with whoopies, straps (my conversion) or the stock ropes.
As for position, I like my foot end a bit higher than the head end to keep my butt from sliding over the entry slit (that is, if you have that model). And I cannot seem to choose which position is more comfy - head to the left or head to the right. YMMV.
