Nice photos, do you manage to hike far with the little one in the backpack/carrier? I have some friends that have a one year old that would love to go hiking but feel they could not manage to do it,...
also to my understanding there would be no custom taxes (at least here to ireland but netherlands is europe to) for a second hand item, custom taxes to my understanding is only for new items, hope...
just letting you know I have had shipping from USA to Ireland from as little as 8 dollars before from post office lowest rate fare and it took only a week to get here so i would not reccomend paying...
i did a google search of the owl bullfrog but could not find it, what is it? some type of hex with doors?

Ive decided to order an 11 x 8.5 rectangle tarp instead, it will cover my hammock in aframe mode and if i really wanted to go crazy it would give me something like a 14 foot coverage in diamond/asym...
yeah darn wet weather! I live in ireland so i understand the misery lol. also did the wye vally walk in Wales recently and doing the severn way in october but a little worried oct is the monsoon...
I just pulled the trigger on the upgrade from 7 x 9 to 11 x 8.5 i thought what the heck why not its only 50 grams more weight and it will allow me a lot more coverage and options like i could tie the...
i am almost tempted to pay the extra and get a 11 x 8.5 now to have extra room and i dont really care about 50 grams extra but the only thing that would be a bit more of a pain is tying it out. as a...
having the tarp in aframe mode might make it more awkward to slide the snake skins over it though
Yeah my hammock is an 11 foot hennessy hammock ultralight backpacker, so i am stuck in asym/diamond mode but the tarp only weight 150 grams so is super light, i did consider getting an 11 x 8.5 tarp...
@Mic thanks for that yes my 9x7 tarp will give me just over 11 foot coverage for my HH which should be fine for nearly all weather here in the UK (i do hope so anyway)
nice photos thanks for sharing! ive just ordered a cuben fiber 9 x 7 tarp for my cover , the idea being i can use that as a shelter if there is no trees etc but hopefully i never need to do that :-)
nice video thanks for sharing
Happy days! no more sleeping like a worm in the dirt for you :-)
I personly use a 20 f topquilt and a 20 f 3/4 lenth underquilt in 40-50 f temps and im not to hot, but it also works down to the 20's too wearing plenty of warm clothes, and im a cold sleeper, but as...
I live in the uk so it can be windy and wet but i will allways try to find a shelterd spot where possible, mainly i worry about my underquilt getting wet as it is Down and only has a layer of DWR as...
wow what a setup! i love the way you can look up at the stars at night through the mesh
what rucksack it that your using? is that CF also? ive ordered a zpacks arc blast and it will be my first ever CF product, i just hope it is durable enough for me
I do notice though that along the ridgeline it looks a little loose is that because it is not a catenary cut and just too hard to get the cuben fiber taut? is there any tips for getting a rectangle...
that picture makes that tarp look huge! I was starting to wonder if a 9 x 7 tarp was a bad desicion and just too small but now im reconsidering!
Nice! and do you find you are able to get a taut pitch easily?
im in the process of purchasing a cuben fiber 9 x 7 tarp to tie diagonally and was wondering if that would be sufficient coverage for a HH ultralight backpacker, and also will it be able to get taut...

Im using the ultralight backpacker zip http://hennessyhammock.com/products/ultralite-backpacker-asym-zip they state it as 906 grams but i have not weighed it to see if what they claim is correct
the only disadvantage to hammock backpacking I can see is that you need to carry slightly more weight than if you were sleeping under a tarp for example you need more insulation in a hammock and also...
Got tired of sleeping like a worm in the dirt :D
munckmb out of interest what larger and more expensive hammock have you upgraded too? i personly almost got a DD hammock but decided they are quit expensive for what they are and also a bit too heavy...
The Hennesy hammock rain fly is removable but its handy to leave it on and use the hammock/bug mesh as a bivi with the rain fly above
