I have always connected my tarp directly to my hammock suspension. I have a HH with the diamond fly and have stayed dry through many storms because the tarp goes down with the hammock when you get...
Ordered a new Incubator (40* long) on January 23...RECEIVED a box full of downy goodness on February 2, only 10 days later! Quilt is awesome. Now I'm just waiting on warmer weather, but until then,...
+1 on this thinking. Had been using a 40*bag, but just ordered a 40* quilt set to replace it & now I can't wait for it to arrive!

Another great Winter Hang, even though it wasn't as wintery as in the past! So glad Shane, Rich & I made a last minute decision to attend. Good company, good food, and good hikes. Thanks to those...
I'll take it.

I'll take the set for $225.

TNF gear has a lifetime warranty & great customer service. I had an old bag that didn't keep me warm. Sent it in, they checked it out & said it had "lost its loft," so they sent me a replacement! ...
I've finally had a chance to field test my new gear, so here's my report on my new setup.
My hammock is the Hennessey Deep Jungle XL. I use the original diamond tarp, which saves weight and has...
Well that STINKS! I was just getting loaded up. Oh, well, to the back yard it is. Better safe than dead, I guess.
I've go Jan. 21-24 on my calendar. Missed last year, but will make it back this year.
Welcome to the Forum.
Nice trip report. Glad you got it tweaked right:)
Did this sale go through? If not, I am interested.
Not looking good for Jimbo. Work getting in the way and will almost certainly prevent me and my Jimbolaya from making it. VERY sad for me :(
I am planning to be there and will bring the Jimbolaya!
I use the reflectix pad with my HHDJ(XL) all the time (exept for hot summer nights when no pad is used). I have a 0 degree synthetic sleeping bag and have been warm in this with this and the...
Not sure what size you're looking for, but Hennessey makes the asym "diamond" in two different sizes. The larger one is 137" ridgeline x 120" across diagonally.
As Tim posted, I had a great field test with my HHDJ and asym tarp with pole mod from the 2QZQ shop. First, I have to give a shout out to the great work and friendly service from 2Q & ZQ. Tim and I...
BSA Troop 326 from Martinsville Virginia - Almost all adults are hammockers and about 1/2 of the boys sleep in hammocks at least some of the time.
Good to see everyone this weekend. Had a great time talking to many folks, looking at a lot of great hammock setups, getting in a little hiking, & eating good food (were there brownies?).
It looks like I should be able to be there. JIMBOLAYA WILL BE SERVED!
This event last year was my first group hang and I had a great time. Looking forward to it, again.
I believe Shane will...
Looks like I may be too late, but PM sent in case first offer fell through.
using the cords/clips as described by others will keep the pad on the diagonal and under your body.
I've used just the reflectix pad and a zero degree sleeping bag down to about 15 degrees. That was in the back yard without a real wind issue, but I was warm. You should be plenty warm with just...
3 questions:
Is the Incubator 800 fill or 900 fill?
Does it have any overstuffing?
What is the total weight?
I have always just tied my pack to the tree with one of the straps that had been holding my gear to the bottom of the frame. I put it at a height that makes it easy for me to access the pack. Cover...
Well that's a bummer!
Has anyone tried using the IX between the layers of a double bottom hammock? Is compression an issue with IX? It sounds like a layer or two or three (depending on temps) between the layers of a...
PM sent for both bags.
Pak Man,
I'm interested in the Incubator if things don't work out with KayakCarl.
Please put me in the #2 slot.
I use a truckers hitch on my HHDJ, but for some reason, i get more slippage when I use a truckers hitch on both ends, so I use a bowline on one end & a truckers hitch on the other. Works very well. ...
Nice video 2Q. I certainly enjoyed hiking with you and hanging out with all my other new hammock friends. Thanks to all for making me feel welcome. Great trip.
I use the relector pad that came with my HHDj, which is the same as reflectix, and have some friends who use the reflectix from Lowes. It works very well. I've been comfortable at 15 degrees with...
I had a great time at my first Hammock Forums group hang. Great to meet so many fellow hangers & use my setup to a new low (by far). Didn't even have to go to my "backup" layers in the car!
Hope...
Jimbo here. I believe Shane has previously posted that he and McGarry (that's me) will be joining the group. I'm thinking of making a pot or 2 of Jambalaya for Saturday night. Not a pot as big as...
We have used that successfully with the scout troop. Some of the adults who don't have a double layer hammock slide the reflectix inside of a fleece bag to avoid sliding around too much. Typically,...
I have the HH DJ-long and am very happy with it. The reflective pad works very well for me. I have used it with a zero degree sleeping bag and been warm at 15 degrees. It really reflects a lot of...
Well done. I have a HHDJ-long & love it.
I've used the reflectix pad & a 0 degree SB and been warm at 15 degrees.
This summer, I used a CCF without the reflectix & it was perfect.
I think the...
I do keep a pair of earplugs in my ridgeline pouch, so that helps. I'll have to try the weights on the tie-out hooks.
I am really not a warm sleeper. I have had problems in the past with cold feet...
I don't worry about the "loose" tarp. I had some thoughts about small bungies, etc before my trip last week, but when I set up & looked at it, I decided that the center (ridgeline) of the tarp is...
I have a DJ(long) and I love it. The fabric is very soft and doesn't make the noise that some other fabrics make when you move around in it. The reflective pad works amazingly well. I used it this...
I switched to hammock when I was considering replacing my tent with a lighter one. Bought a HH Deep Jungle (long) & the whole setup weighs only 49oz. That's hammock with bug net, tarp (diamond) &...
that's exactly how I do it with mine. I have a HH Deep Jungle & attach the tarp to the hammock suspension. Snakeskins are on the hammock only & wet tarp can be taken down, packed, & put up without...
You may want to try moving the Reflectix out of the sleeping bag. It is my understanding that you need a little bit of "air space" between you and the reflective barrier for it to work properly. If...
