Done :-)

Just ordered a 40 led headlamp and a battery recharger I can use on my 'solar network'

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the great (practical) advice. Will be put into practice at the earliest chance ;-)

The bad weather is continuing here (the rainy season is officially June, but there...

Hi Gunn,

I can do a pretty fair JP accent if I try, but I'm an Aussie (originally a Queenslander) :)

Sakura is my oldest daughter, btw (watashi wa Mark desu)


I didn't flip the tarp because...

Thanks for the knot links guys :) (guess I'm gonna have to edjakate myself a bit on those knotty issues)

As I posted elsewhere today, I'm experimenting with a new system that doesn't require any...

Double Snakeskins

Due to an error when purchasing my hammock, I got #3 snakeskins when I really needed #4.

I now have both and am using the #3's for the tarp (in place on the prussics) and the...

EEeeek!!!

Don't suppose you could include a video with a few slo-mo replays? (I have this knot I really love, see... You hold the cord between your right thumb and left cheek, cross your arms...

I once heard an interesting story about machine translation... (not sure if it's true, but it could be)

This guy wanted to translate 'The Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak' into several...

Also, what is the 3G coverage like (I am a 'computer...

Hi again,

I'm still trying to get a picture of what's happening with the tarp here...

From what I can figure, you have two lines connected to your tree huggers - one for the tarp and one for...

Ahhh...

I thought it was pretty comfortable too. Seems there's a lot of true connoisseurs around here :cool:

Hi,
Can't you just use 'HH as lounge' and sit in your hammock and cook regardless of the bottom entry?

Hi all,

Please tell me if I'm on the right track here (I'm missing something here, I think...)

The hammock and the fly are in separate snake skins (is this right? I actually will have an extra...

Backs are a good reason to get excited about hammocks (HH realized this and have a special section of their site devoted to it)

Sleeping on the ground means pain for me (had arthritis since I was...

Not much in the way of cherry blossoms this time of year... (Sakura is my oldest daughter's name, btw...)

The Henessey arrived today and I braved the mosquitoes and pedaled up the side of a...

Thanks for the replies all...

I actually suspected that the pad was a bit of overkill. Knowing that it is most likely top quality kit, I just feel some kind of need to use it ;)

I think I'll...

Hi all,

Total beginner waiting for my Henessey Hammock (Explorer - I'm a tall guy) to arrive from ebay.

I take all my hobbies pretty seriously, though, and have been getting the gear down ready...
