That makes two weirdos then, cause I do the same if given a choice, but I have no problems with right lay if the hammock has a fixed lay either, left is just a weak preference.

Call me crazy, but I use a tent... ��

I think the most important thing is to get outdoors, even if you go ground dwelling. Second most important is hanging. What you hang in is of less importance. I buried half a fortune in outdoor gear...

Never hanger anywhere else than Norway so far, and it is kinda restrictive, especially here in the westlands where "hiking/camping" equals tenting to most people for a good reason; 9/10 trails are...

Fetal position. For me it is a must as my tongue chokes me while sleeping on my back, but it also takes care of any calf-heel problems.

Spot on! I never saw sliding towards the head end as a problem, but sliding towards the footend feels weird. It is still doable (I did it last night as my back was right over a sharp piece of rock...

I hang mine on the head end. I make sure the hammock i level, then I hang it and usually it makes my feet go a little higher than my head, just the way I like it.

Operation error my ***. Hang it in line and that should hold it. Mine had wraps from end to end and still malfunctioned. I never had a problem with my Warbonnet buckles, but these ones are a...

I went with black inside and coyote brown outside on my Phoenix. Liked it so good that I will keep that combo on all future quilts.

The WBBBXLC has worked like a dream to me with the top cover. I use it from october to march here in Norway. Only problem I had with condensation was when we made camp in a swamp and night temp was...

Bringing life into this old thread as I had the exact same fail with the same system yesterday evening. I also fixed it temporarily in the same manner, so I guess this is not a one-time occurance.
I...

Ok, 1) I can buy into, no probs there, but even not laying on a diagonal will not seriously ruin a good nights sleep if you do a decent setup, it will just not be as good as a diagonal lay.
But 2)?...

It's hammocking, not brain surgery! I simply cannot understand what is so hard. Sure, as hammocking has evolved we have many new trinkets that could take some explaining, but the basics isn't any...

Just had my first overnighter with my uq (same model and temp rating) last weekend. Quite incredible how such a small item can insulate so well (once the idiot using it understood how to tighten the...

Took a friend camping twice this week, once in tents (mountain hiking 1km above sea level) and once in hammocks. We slept pretty ok in the tents waking up only 4-5 times in a whole night, but while...

Kammock make good quality stuff, but yes, the length is on the short side.

Just got the shipping notice one minute ago, happy happy!! :boggle:

This should mean it will come juuuust in time for an excursion with a friend, yay yay, hehe.

I didn't, I ordered on the 5th. And still waiting.

That makes two of us.
Does people stare in a weird way at you too?

Just saying "HH" is like saying "Chevrolet"; **** they have a few models out there!
I love my Safari, but if I had an Expedition I would probably complain how cramped it was.

You can pretty swiftly see if a tree is alive at this time of year. And I'm around 260lbs and as long as I can grab around a tree with my hands, it is good enough to hang from.

Dunno bout single or double, I got a double as I like to do things overkill, and I really love it. You need to put an elephant in it for it to stretch! But I still would like to see at least the...

Thanks, it gives me hope, ordered my 20 Phoenix just two days after you did. Feeling the abstinence here, hehe.

I sleep in one every night at home, so I'd say they are pretty ok. Just wish I had an apartment with better suspension opportunities so I could get a bigger version.

I know that feeling. :laugh: But it's all about self-discipline. When I got that bag I loaded it around 40kg halfway full with stuff I never used, same as you. Now I reckon it is about 25kg and that...

Very nice review both of trip and hammock!

That, I have done. But I still keep my tents for those awful mountains.
Moral of it all; beds are easier replaced than tents. :crying

I just wanna sing in the choir; I always found the UQ to be the limiting factor. As long as it holds up, the TQ (or whatever you use) can have a lower rating.

I know the feeling. Made a few buys myself only learning what I ordered afterwards, hehe. (For example I ordered my uq thinking 67 and 90 were colour codes, pure luck I got what I wanted haha)

I'm sure Adam could have made you a couple of holes for your suspension that fit the tieoutsfor a small extra if you asked him, that would have saved you the adjustments at night.

Wow, seeing this, and the ones on the website, I suddenly feel the need to prioritize differently and save up for one ASAP! :boggle:

Unlike in beds, I tend to move less in a hammock, so I just use a light unzipped sleeping bag (10*C) and tuck in the ends under my back and shoulders. In 4/5 night it stays there and the fifth I may...

I still use my sleeping bags as TQ, I will get a real TQ one day, but it is pretty low on my list, first I got all the hammocks I wanted, the tarp, and I'm currently working on my UQs (second just...

With a first setup like that, you will probably not need a second for many years to come. Buy once, cry once. :D

I don't think there is a universal answer to that one. I could probably be ok as I never freeze my legs and feet should be ok with a few extra pair of wool socks. But at zero it would be stretching...

I do most definitely not mean to impose on personal taste; God knows there are plenty out there that claim mine is terrible! But I must ask; what is it that you find attractive with camo? A single...

Just checked the Sparrow basic build on DHs website. 1.9oz multicam +$20.

In my Safari I got enough headroom to change in my hammock. In my XLC I guess I will just have to agree with gunner76.

Another good point that I didn't even think of! :)

Have a look at this:

I took this just now just for fun. In the lower pocket I got all three hammocks...

If it's just bulk and not weight, why not go for a bigger pack?

No complaints here either! Works like a charm for my Safari. If one cannot get warm in a Potomac under a Hennessy one is probably stretching the temp limit to the absurd or not tightening the cords.

Been going for one month now, working pretty ok, but need to upgrade from a single model to a king size.

One day I WILL get a Mammock, just to try it out! Wide is fun.

Hearty welcome!
Dunno why, but I cannot hear 'Alabama' without thinking about Top Gear... :lol:

As for condensation with winter cover; I have only used mine with that setup so far and had no problems at all. Can ofc be an individualistic issue, but compared to other full cover shelters it is a...

I think they went with a too small zipper size. That's pretty much the only complaint I can come up with, other than that it is an absolutely marvelous hammock.

Warbonnet is definitely a safe bet.

Sounds like you are all set (or will be). You will guaranteed find things you want to customize as you go, but that gear will definitely get you hanging.
And good choice of hammock. :)

It would be easier to help if we knew what a "low" price is, at least roughly.

I tried to read and understand the Scottish regulations once upon a time, and came back none the wiser. What it pretty much said was: "yes you can, if you stay out of sight, but you should ask...

I sure hope this doesn't mean Maine invaded us without telling us? :scared:
