I will take the Ribz.
I will take one!
I have used the "layering" system myself quite successfully. In addition to the standard HHSS set up I will toss in a PLUQ for those cold nights, or for the warm months I trade out the Hennesssy UC...
I use a 2QZQ breathable UQP during the summer months and it provides just the right amount of insulation and air circulation and has the added bonus of keeping the Mosquitos at bay.
I had an Explorer UL with a 2QZQ mod and did like it but I personally prefer the bottom entry. My current setup is still completely stock and I think I may leave it that way, if anything I will...
Super Shelter Under Cover for sale.
Hennessy Hammock Explorer Ultra-Light is SOLD
Under cover includes OC pad and original stuff sack.
All kit is in excellent condition and has been very...
is exactly why I converted my Explorer UL to a ring buckle system.
EBay usually has several sellers, I have seen deals where you can get two for $20 and found one seller who was doing four for $20. If you shop the pages you can find some really good deals for one. ...
I use two small mesh stuff sacks and just snap them in at either end for the items that don't fit in the ridgeline storage pockets.
When I was using an Exped it felt a bit small for me, it was comfortable, but not ideal. My face often ended up very near the netting, never pressing into it, just not in the best spot. After I...
I keep my tarp separate in a mesh stuff sack and use para cord and figure 9's to attach it to the tree/supports. Normally I pull out the first side, give it a quick eye ball and run the cord around...
I just got my explorer UL back today and the work is absolutely fantastic, I can not wait to get out this weekend and really put my new and improved hammock to work.
Aahhh, VB! It has been far too long since I have had one of those, and yes, I mean the beer.
you should go to the HH site and request the list of current items they have in the odds and ends sale. It does not last forever so if you are still looking, get on it soon.

They have some great deals going, I just picked up the SSUC for just over half price. I would definately recommend anyone looking for a deal on HH products to take a look.
Hoping there is someone out there who is currently less than satisfied with their SS UC and would like to pass it along to the next guy to try out.
Looking for a SS UC to fit the Explorer UL.
Thanks to both of you for your input so far. I have been debating between the two right now as I can only aford one. I am leaning towards the KAQ, and it would definately be cheaper to build the SS...
Wondering if anyone has attempted a DIY HH Super Shelter. If so, how did it turn out? I am contemplating putting one together this weekend.
A little extra funk keeps people from staying too long inside "testing" your hammock.
I have to second gargoyle's thoughts on the tarp. I will often leave mine off or at least suspend it much higher than normal on those hot nights to let the air flow around me better. I am in the...
I have been sewing on various models sold at the local Wal-Mart for decades now. I used to do a lot of work modifying and repairing military load carrying gear and packs, which meant sewing through...
I use the HH Explorer UL and don't have any problems sleeping on my side.
HH Exped Asym has been SOLD. This thread may be closed.
Right side helps with getting in comfortably the first time with HH lay, for me anyway. Especially with sleeping bags or pads.
Hammock has been sold, thanks to all for your interest.
For sale (1) Hennessy Hammocks Expedition Asym
-Sold in original stock condition
-Original stock tarp included
I have found that even when tying off directly to the trees that the tarps ridgeline still does not get as tight as it could (it is better). I think this is a result of the manufacturing process. ...
I like to use a fleece covered, "U" shaped inflatable travel pillow becuase I can adjust how much, or little support there is. Of course, never underestimate the comfort of a balled up piece of...
BER, if the hammock is still up let me know, I will take it
rict, welcome aboard
generally speaking;
1. the farther apart the trees the higher you need you start your hang. I would definately recomend you push the huggers up higher and then see where you...
I am in Montana on business right now and really wish I had the time to go hike and do some camping. Daytime highs are only about 75 and lows into the mid 40's, perfect for me and I am loving it. ...
I am a fan of the Pacific Outdoor Equipment Si Pillow. It is a little pricy but has been well worth the money and weight in comfort.http://www.rei.com/product/751097
I am one of those who is very sensitive to poison ivy/oak and after several years of suffering I discovered a product called TecNu. This stuff really does work, they have several versions and I...
I am a fan of the HH system and use a standard sleeping bag and therma-rest pad in it once the temps drop. Maybe its me but I have never had any serious issues with getting in and out of the bag or...
Blue Water tubular or flat webbing is made of nylon.
Primary is backpacking and hiking. With my current job and hobbies I usually manage the occasional weekend trip into the woods. As far as weight, I dont really know as far as I am concerned...
Huge fan of the pillow. I personally use an inflatable U shaped travel pillow. It has a soft fleece cover and when not needed it folds up and takes up almost no space in my pack. However the...
I always prefer to stay off the beaten path. That is half the fun of going out into the woods and a good hammock is the perfect enabler for those of us who like to escape from the crowds.
I first started hanging when stationed in Okinawa and travelling all across South East Asia. Staying off the jungle floor in a hammock was the way to go and once I got back stateside I just...
