Slackdaddy, a few questions if I may.
How did your sealing turn out? Did it work by applying the sealer only on the outside? Did you remove the existing tape eventhough you applied the sealer on...
Well hello fellow hangers. I'm looking to buy bottom insulation for one of my HHs. I'd rather have a full length down underquilt but I didn't take the chance to buy one when the exchange rate wasn't...
I began hanging it from one of the hammock´s suspension (usually feet end) and a side tie-out (the one close my head) but eventually just got a pair of independent lines for the gear hammock.
Now I...
I´m short and from Colombia, so:
"el" + "colombianito" = "the" + "small/short Colombian"
:)
got tired of having the ocf pad separate (not that it really took much effort to put the pad upon setup or remove it and pack it somewhere else), so i just have a big 'bishop' stuff sack for the...
I found out something like this as well this weekend... first condensation problem ever for me using the SS. Lowest temp I was able to check was 8*C.
First night, I used the sleepingbag as a...
So I did it, and don't regret it.
I got tired of the elastic from the bottom entry of the SS, and since my diy zipr has left the bottom entry pretty much useless i just went ahead and cut it. ...
I didn't modify the bottom entry slit but I don't use it indoors anymore, at all.
Outdoors it has been useful a few time twice for bugs, or for when i have to pitch the tarp closer to the hammock...
sir_n0thing...
Is the zipper really #10? I cant really tell prom the photos.
Any how, thanks very much for the pics.
Now, If Tom is really putting these hammocks on the market, it might be also...
Well thank you very much BillyBob58, you just made me realize something... i hope it also help others with this problem.
What I realized while reading this post is that when I didn't have the SS,...
winners were already posted on facebook. they will be doing another giveaway when they reach 700.
yeah. they are also upgrading for free the tarp on the expedition!
FYI, i just saw that REI is selling Expedition Asym with side entry.

I don't have a mod done buy you (2Q and ZQ) but i do have this almost exact problem. Its only one little thing poking me, and Ive been noticing this ever since i stopped using the bottom entry. I...
well,i think i saw a wall message about one hammock for every hundred. Maybe fan number 601 could get into hte lucky ones who will participate. knotty for sure.
agh, too late, apparently only for the first 600. oh well.
#602... hope I apply for the giveaway.
Cool, thanks for the report, and the pics.
Is the bubble pad include with the HHDJ?
I thank you all for the kind words.
The incident (being robbed) might have been the friendliest i have had, and i just cant help and laugh about it, though i do know i was very lucky the guy didnt...
Just had to let you know what happened today. My first DIY hammock was chosen over my HH to be stolen!
Allow me to explain with a sloppy narration of what happened:
I can walk one block in any...
I go camping and hiking with my girlfriend a lot, and I have seen how much it really changes her outdoors-mood to have her pack be just bit lighter (either lighter than mine or thans hers compared to...
the stock tarp for the ULBA is not smaller... its actually a bit bigger than thr stock tarp for the expedition.
Im not completely sure... but from what i understand, if at the moment you are purchasing a hammock via website you want a bigger or lighter tarp, you can mention you want a different tarp and pay...
Awesome to hear this.
What tarp would you be getting if you purchase the WBBB?
Yep, if you don't have to sleep in a bed (say, because of a wife) , and you can hang the hammock inside, you'll just end switching the bed for the hammock.
Do try to make the hammock more wide so...
Woa! I had not done the money conversion on the DD prices. That's a very attractive price...
Just wanted to add that you should remember that the WBBB for $175 doesn't include tarp, but you can get a decent tarp for the WBBB and not go to high on costs.
But if you want the complete setup...
From my personal experience, never had a bug inside my HH... On the other hand, my DIY hammocks (which have zippers), and my Clark NA, would allow one or two to get in, no matter how careful and...
I vote for WBBB (2) or HH (4). DD problems were actually, if im not mistaken, just a problem with a group buy which apparently received seconds.
i understand. when i got mine, it was all the nice feautures what convinced me... especially the weather shield and the side pockets.
I used to have a NA... bought it almost 2 years ago.
Im arround 5'4'', and I could achieve a decent diagonal for taking little naps, but wasn't really that comfortable with part of the zipper...
Awesome! The biners make the setup in my room so much easier. As soon as I got them, I fiddled with the suspension for about two hours to find the best higher-foot-end/lower-head-end configuration...
Welcome to the forums! welcome to hanging delight life! Get ready to modify that hammock (yes it is posible to make it way kooler!) and increase you gear!
I fiddle with my hammock's insulation (expedition asym with zipper mod and SS) every single night because i sleep in it... my bed is now my dog's.
But this fiddling is in great part due to the ocf...
comfortablynumb, welcome. Get ready to expand that gear list!
I have two Hennessy's with DIY zipper mods. Much happier with them since I added the zippers... it definitely makes the HH much "user friendly" as someone already stated, specially if you use a SS or...
:scared: how do you get in, normal bottom entry or do you have a zipper mod?
I can use creditcards from colombian banks, but Ive been cheking all over the net, and tried setting up the bank account option with no luck of using a colombian bank.... but i understand, most...
Thanks for the replies!
$15 is for the pair (and that price inlcudes all imaginable fees). If they are good biners, I think its a great deal considering that good quality camping-climbing gear...
Hello fellow hangers.
I have a quick question... i hope it hasn't been asked before, but latley I have very little time to browse the ever growing forum and threads.
Ive been wanting to improve...
Hey! Congratulations jonesy. Just wanted to add that if you like the SS as it is having to use the bottom entry, just wait until you get a zipper mod... you'll change your bed for the hammock (one...
jbrecon2... im a very happy HH user (specially since the zipper modification), but i consider a blackbird to have more pros than cons compared to my HH.
If its worth anything, I vote for a...
Adjusting a quilt (or atleast my diys) from inside the hammock is possible with mod # 3, even adjusting the components of the supershelter is easy on that side on which there is no zipper, but i do...
i think #2 mod is more popular because it allows "all side" entry and easier handling of the net when unzipped. I have a diy #3.
Not sure if this can actually be the reason for the SS not working in this case, but from the pictures (first and second one), i think its evident that you placed the glove hooks on the rope way too...
I think i understand what you mean.
Since Im a short dude, the diagonal lay I was able to get without the SS was great, pretty flat and comfortable, and made that expedition asym look huge, making...
Your welcome Agfadoc.
I didn't order the overcover, but since being a few times already under cold and windy conditions I have had to improvise one, and it definetly makes the hammocks' interior...
The "basic" SS system has been extremely toastie and with no need of extra clothing or the kindey and tordo pads. I must also say that in the outdoors its not as uncomfortable and dificult to handle...
I just have to say that I'm another happy SuperShelter user. I've gone down amazingly comfortable to the low 30 s using a 30deg sleeping bag, cotton boxers, poly shirt, the undercover, ocf underpad...
I surfed the web for a short while and only found Speers, HH, and Clark's. Took the plunge with a Clark, but as I was waiting for it to arrive, I found Sgt. Rock's website, and that just led to...
