That was a great read. Thanks for sharing.
I have both a HammockGear 0º Incubator and a 0º Toaster Down UQ by Little Shop of Hammocks. The Toaster Down is significantly warmer. I have always been happy with my Incubator purchase, but now...
Thanks for that information. I will now look for 8" continuous loops.
Coffee Crisps are my go to chocolate bar when I am backcountry camping. Great with an afternoon coffee.
Cheers
Beautiful photos! It looks like you and your wife had a fantastic time. Algonquin Park is my families go to park. Every year I try a couple new places but continue to return to Algonquin annually....
I made a reflectix pad that I roll up and attach to the bottom of my pack. It has countless uses: as a sleeping pad for my dog below my hammock; a place to work from when preparing meals; as a dry...
I have two SuperFly tarps and now never use the pullouts. Even bought everything to do the pole mod arch. Looks great and then packed it away as it is too much additional weight. [emoji854]. And snow...
I regret purchasing my 70D Hex tarp. While it is cheap, and provides good coverage, it is very heavy. I only use it now when I need a third hammock set up - and I am the one that has to carry it. ...
I swopped out the suspension on my HH Expedition Deluxe to whoopie slings and saw the same thing. I simply attached the whoopie sling via a lark's head (actually went around twice through the loop)....
I think Redoleary is suggesting the wooden 4x4 post failing, not the metal in the truck.
I am using a 0° Toaster Down UQ by LittleShopofHammocks.com with my HH Explorer Deluxe. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160817/d832ce21676106b7c17219484ec1e01e.jpgPerfect fit. This UQ has lots of...
Amazing photos! I would be willing to camp a few kilometres from a water source for views like that.
Welcome to the club.
Welcome to the forum. Enjoy your stay.
Someone posted in another thread about the same park that they had to leave early because of grizzly activity. Are grizzly bears common in western parks or is a grizzly sighting a rare experience?
Hennessy actually recommends to "Adjust hammock until centered and ridge line is level and under light tension.". I have a three hammocks, and while the 30º set-up angle works great with my two...
Beautiful area. I realize you were hiking during the week - is that why you encountered so few other hikers?
Cheers
What a great trip. I love the thunderbox story and can picture my 12-year old daughter telling me pretty much the same thing. Too funny.
Superfly! I already own two of them and will be ordering a third one for my third hammock. The joys of outfitting the entire family.
That looks great! I liked the moon lit night shot showing the city lights on the horizon.
That is a beautiful location.
That looks like a great set-up on a really nice site. How do you keep the dew from settling on your hammock if you do not set up your tarp at all?
That looks great.
Looks like fun. I don't think I have ever seen a canoe packed with so much equipment.
I bought a Jarbridge a couple of years ago and really enjoy it. I was looking at the Potomac myself for my HH Expedition Deluxe but this current sale does not seem to benefit Canadians.
I have owned the HH Expedition Deluxe with the Hex Tarp for three years now and only two days past did I swop out the heavy and bulky rope suspension that Hennessy uses for whoopies*. Doing this...
The booking system shows Maple Leaf North with two sites, and Maple Leaf South with five sites. It also shows how many are available. i.e. Maple Leaf North Sites Remaining: 0/2, Maple Leaf South...
I did the small loop of the Western Uplands trails two-years ago with my wife. We did the loop over 3 nights 4 days at a very leisurely pace. Not a very memorable trail, mainly dark forest with...
I agree about calling. They will switch everything to CDN dollars. You can also upgrade to the bigger tarp at no extra charge and get the snake skins included if you deal directly.
I have a Kelty, 2 SuperFly, and a Hennessy. I still take the Kelty when canoe camping for a kitchen/group tarp and take the Kelty along when backpacking with my family. Yes it is heavier than the...
I just ordered a second set from her for my second SuperFly. The quality of her work is outstanding.
Arms out with two poles is by far the easiest, especially when the ground is uneven. You can very quickly decide between several tree pairings using this method. I find this handy when back backing...
That was a fun trip report. I was wondering why I had not seen any of your video's recently and now I know why. Glad your knees are better! I too am curious about the six foot long hiking poles at...
I too went with the two descending rings with a carabiner. I find setting up is now easier and I can make simple adjustments at both ends faster.
Cheers
That was a fun video. Beautiful dog and some lovely scenery. I too enjoyed the fishing scenes.
Cheers
I have have a Kelly Noah 12 that I bring along for the kitchen area when canoe and car camping. It adds too much weight for backpacking.
Cheers
I use the little pockets on my Hex tarp and I have no issue getting the Hennessy snakeskins on. I do plan on swopping out the cord that Hennessy provides for the guy lines one of these days as the...
I made a reflectix pad and put it slightly under me and to the left of the head end of my hammock. I then secure my 70 lb. dog in the same fashion as Boothill and his shepherd. Before bedtime I use...
That was a great report. You certainly were tested on this outing. Lots of lessons in this trip.
I always pack a sleep outfit that I also wear in camp if all my hiking clothes are wet. This...
Those are some terrific photos. And not many trees. Looks like the entire group was working hard on this trail. I am sure your hard work is appreciated by many.
Cheers
Beautiful spot. It is definitely special when you can spend time in the woods with your children. My nine-year old daughter and I went on a four-day backpacking trip in June and it was great. We did...
I was surprised that I did not see a copy of Jeff's Map for Algonquin Provincial Park in your video. It shows all the canoe routes with travel times, what type of fish can be found in each lake,...
Great video. Thanks for sharing. So how do you get two hammocks side by side, using the same two trees? Could be handy when backpacking with my wife.
Cheers
Just got done ordering a new Jarbridge for myself. Too many great reviews from a well respected forum vendor to pass up.
Cheers
It is always nice to read when a company provides good service and stands behind their products.
That 20% discount for members serving with the military is also a nice touch.
Cheers
4 lbs 4 oz is too heavy for me.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum. I too would love to see some pics!
Cheers
The main forum is great for information concerning hammocks. The donating forum is great for information concerning any activity you can think of doing with your hammock. I now spend more time...
