A little wider would be nice, but i've used my thermarest ridgerest at 20" for ten years, sometimes in the hammock, and it was fine. I'll just wrap my sleeping bag around the shoulders if I use it...

Good to know! I like the idea of picking a smaller, lesser known company. I mean, I WOULD have bought the Klymit pad but their newest one doesn't ship until June! I'll be living out of my hammock for...
So I missed a very good sale on B&H Photo for Klymit pads (yea it's a photo shop site that sells camping gear...). But I came across "Teton Sports" brand pads. I researched them a little, only good...
I think you'll still spend a fair amount of time with paid accomodation. It's very cheap, and from what my brother said as he did the same travels, he just didn't feel so comfortable sleeping outside...
I Imagine they used wool blankets
Very tempting.. My brother and I were just thinking of going for "The Little Shop of Hammocks" Warrior... But this is really nice :P
I'm in dilemma town on these as well, with the "warrior" from The Little Shop of Hammocks as i'm Canadian. A hammock is my home for spring for work, but I also travel a lot and lightweight gear is a...
My brother and I recently got the Summit 0 from them, on their holiday sale. I think it ended up being 140usd.
My first down bag, but the construction feels pretty solid. I have yet to actually...
****, wish I caught the earlybirds... Due to the horrible Canadian dollar I just don't think I can justify this one :P
Well this gives me a few new options to look into. Hadn't heard of that Canadian site or this chameleon hammock... I have more research to do.
One thing I like about the WBBB (besides that...
Hey all. I've been hammocking since around 2012. For two years hitchhiking and wild camping around Europe I had a tenth wonder hornet. Lovely hammock, and the waterproof under was pretty useful......
Is there much of a difference between the 2013 and 2016 WBBB?
Man I wish the Canadian dollar wasn't doing so bad at the moment!
Hey all. I don't post so much but I've come now and then, and have been hanging for a fee years now.
Currently I'm traveling/hitchhiking through turkey. I skipped my flight home for work a month...
Hey all, it's been a hell of a long time since I posted. For the past couple years i've been hitchhiking and free camping around Europe, and a wee bit of North Africa. With me I had a tenth wonder...
I was wondering, why is it that condensation is such a problem with pads in hammocks, yet not a problem at all when on the ground? :/ You'd think it would be the other way around...
Hey shug, have you slept directly on the pad, then used a sleeping bag as an overquilt (or just used an overquilt..)? I'm thinking of trying that tonight, and seeing if it helps with the condensation...
So with the foam reflective pads, you avoid condensation by sleeping directly on the pad? Meaning NOT putting the pad between a double layer, if you have one?
I had a Snugpak Softie 9 Hawk for a few years in the infantry. It did the job, but I don't trust the temp rating of -10 on it. I was fairly chilly at around -5, but I was only in my underwear, no...
Oh yes. Had my pad in between my hammock layers, and also the waterproof outer velcroed on the outside of that. I was also thinking of taking that off later, and trying that out.
On thinking on it...
I tried out my thermarest ridgerest CCF pad in the hornet a couple nights ago. Woke up with enough condensation under and beside me to be quite noticeable. I think i'll have to try sleeping without...
So my brother and I got two TW hornet hammocks. The suspension is alright, but I learned tonight after trying to set it up in a rain storm, that knot tying is not my strong suit. I figure whoopie...
Just got my hammock today! $50 for the bloody duty and tax fees. My god!
It's raining out, but i'm thinking of strapping it up in the backyard to take it for a test run tonight. The feel of the...
I was looking at that one, and I was actually about to get it, but then I noticed a day later that he added a few more variations. I ended up going for the green 3 layer one. That extra waterproof...
It's extremely light... But unless you really expand the width, I would think it to be a very tight fit.
Hey Baja, the one I have on order is 9 feet long, if that's good enough? It's just the "green 3 layer" hornet.
At the moment I have a Snugpak Softie 9 Hawk (-10 at extreme), and it's a fair bit small for me being 6'1 and around 230lbs. Can't even reach my arms down the bag to take off/slip on socks. So I am...
Would that include shipping to Canada? (Vancouver to be specific!)
Also, maybe i'm blind, but right or left zip?
Looking for a Nanok Endurance -10 sleeping bag, preferably the longer style one.
Looking to pay around 50 pounds, and a bit more for shipping to Canada.
Might be a long shot. PM me with an...
So I JUST really started looking at these TW hammock today. I sold my HH explorer a few days ago, and am looking for a new hammock. I thought I was sold on the WBBB, but the prices of the TW really...
Oh wow, I JUST realized how I screwed up on the title... Gah!
****A pad it fit INSIDE a bergen style ruck!
Stang, do you use a bergen then?
I actually never even thought of strapping it to...
So while I still on a hunt for a WBBB, i've been looking at getting ad different sleeping pad than the one I have (thermarest ridgerest). It's just too bulky, and I have a Berghaus Vulcan on the way....
Thanks for the welcomes all.
Arbot, the velcro bottom entrance for the most part. Really noisy. Using the HH as a chair is HORRID on the velcro version as well. Aside from that, I plan on doing a...
My name is Steve, i'm an ex-infantry guy from Vancouver.... Canada!
I have had some experience hammocking in a HH explorer, but found that certain things about it weren't quite working out. So,...
To start off, I am new to the forums, and sorry for rushing straight to the "WTB" thread, but I am in a bit of a rush to get a new hammock (just got rid of my HH today!)
So as title says, I want a...
