It seems like there should be a way to use materials that you're taking anyway, to make water collection easier for the ultralight crowd. Like using a plastic bag with a corner cut out or maybe...

Looks like it's sold to Romany! Congrats on the hammock!

Yes, the tree straps are also included; thank you, I forgot to mention those. I can also throw in another set of HH tree straps and ropes if anyone would like them, as I've modified my own hammock...

I got my wife a Hennessy Hammock Scout, but it turns out that she just doesn't like the idea of camping in her own hammock. It hasn't even been set up once!

Unfortunately, that doesn't mean it's...

I think this is the most common point of failure of a hammock.

Basically, the hammock is most likely to fail right at the exact spot where you didn't secure a knot properly. (my experience will...

Good point. The hammock could be used more like a tent if absolutely necessary, so it should still be good to go. I'll just have to make sure my pads are cactus thorn proof (i.e. be careful with...

I'll be hiking through the Eagle Mountains, near these coordinates: 33.739401,-115.661917. The coventon flats area looks interesting. Joshua Tree is full of all sorts of different sights, and the...

I'll be backpacking through the Joshua Tree desert in a couple of weeks, and I'm deciding which gear to put together. The question is, should I bring a hammock? There won't be any trees (this part...

Shoot; I was hoping we came across a silver bullet concept!

I like having multiple uses for things I'm already bringing, and the tarp is such a big piece of fabric, it seems too good of an...

I like the idea of stealth camping, as I don't like to be an eyesore for anyone hiking nearby, but I'd also like to have a way to signal for help if I need to. I was thinking that the tarp is such a...

Putting a coin on the inside of the tarp, then wrapping a cord around the other side is pretty ingenious. I wonder how damaging to the tarp that would be though.

I like it! Simple & ingenious. As long as I put the pipe holder low enough to clear my lawnmower, it can be a permanent hidden feature.

Thank you all for the ideas! It looks like I'm running into the problem of too many options to choose from again. I like the Turtle Lady's stand. It looks similar to what I was thinking of, except...

Howdy folks, I'm fairly new to hammock camping beyond the summer months, so I'm finding myself with lots of questions. These forums provide a great deal of wisdom, but not much beats practice and...

Excellent advice; thank you! I'll have to try using an extra pad for my shoulders when I use the Big Agnes pad insert. I have some reflective bubble wrap I bought for making pot cozies that I can...

I have a bag like this too that I've been meaning to try out. Is the pad inserted into the bag wide enough to work in a hammock as well?

Well, I recently upgraded my HH to amsteel whoopie slings, which I'm really digging since they are so light and easy to use. -But now it seems that the tarp connectors need to be upgraded as well. ...

Howdy!

I'm in southern California, but also fairly new to using hammocks, so I don't think I'd be of much help. From looking at the hammock forums map, it looks like we might be the only dudes...

I like the sound of that idea!

I have a 90+ pound dog that loves to go into the wilderness with me, but he would definitely tear my hammock to shreds. I might have to try rigging something like...

Tinny may have overstepped his expertise here, but maybe he might be onto something. I just had an idea to help distribute the pressure of the amsteel!

I currently use amsteel and 1" straps. ...
