will the SS fit the safari deluxe ? I realize it may not make it to the ends of the hammock but it should still preform right?

normally hennessy gets great customer service. I would say the pad would work but I dont know if the SS works as a system with it. 108 by 56 is the dimensions of the explorer deluxe and 112 by 52 is the safari deluxe. I just dont know what to tell you. Id say try calling them tomorrow. I think the main issue would be the length or the asym tie outs lining up. but i dont knowQuote:

The Safari comes with the radiant bubble pad for insulation. I don't believe the SS will fit it though.
The super shelter is not recommended for the Safari. While you could probably get it to go on I don't think it would fit properly. Fit is essential for the Super Shelter to work most effectively.
You might tear some part of the SS using it on the Safari. Especially if you put the hammock side tie outs through both left and right openings/loops on the UC/pad. As the safari is quite a bit bigger than the other HH hammocks, both longer and wider, with it tied out to the sides there may be too much strain. Same thing on the ends. I can't say for sure though.Quote:

I have a SS and a Safari but I have never attempted to test them together due to worries about the above.
I have used a torso length WB and a JRB MW ( but not using both side loops) on the Safari both worked great. I do rig some cord to to make up for the extra length of the safari. BTW, it is worth working out a solution, as I personally find the Safari to be the most comfortable non-bridge hammock I have tried(mine is a No Net model). Though it is def NOT the lightest single layer hammock, even not counting the large 23 oz PU Hex tarp that comes with it.
i think your thinkin of the deep jungle coming with the bubble padQuote:

Thanks for the replies. I got an email from HH today (I guess I was a little impatient) and they said it would not work. I will look into the suggestions, and am open to more as well. BillyBob58 your review of the safari helped me make my decision and the super shelter not working is not a big deal to me if it was I would have bought a hammock that was listed on the SS page, I was just hoping I would get a sure it works fine. I was thinking of a down UQ for the winter hangs in Oregon, but I am in TX now and doubt I will need much more than my fleece TQ camping on the rivers here.
PDA I guess I did not word the original post well, I spent a considerable amount of time researching what brand of hammock to buy and after all of the emails, and phone calls to HH and posts about their customer service made my decision for me. I was not trying to say there CS was lacking.
nah we understood ya. we know you appreciated the HH service. Im just glad to see another one to join the HH clan. It seems all I hear now adays is WB this and WB that. that doesnt mean that im not gonna buy a WB for my birthday or anything :D but im glad to see hennessy going strong
