    Great design. I made one a few weeks ago and it got its first real test this weekend. I set up my HHED and my DIY with Fronkey net in the yard. Friday night my daughter & I camped out there, and on...

    All's well that ends well

    Being new to hammocking, and on a tight budget, I was stoked to hear that the GG tarps were available again. A 12x12 for under thirty bucks shipped was great news and would make a fine first tarp....

    I'm new to HF and hammocking in general, but have sailed a lot and am comfortable with knotting and splicing, so I made myself some whoopies. To me they are a brilliant solution, light, compact,...
