I like to use CL, but have a DIY with woopies. My main concern for woopies connected directly to the hammock is they get exposed to rain. While they don't hold much water, I just don't like they...

I've had the same problem with whoopie slings, sometimes the forest is a bit dense. Dutch came out with a new more versatile WS that might be worth checking out. Currently the becket hitch directly...

it looks like there is an internal tube, maybe stainless steel that extends ~2" from the stake end into the boom tube.

One thing I see as a problem is how to attach the ridgeline. Larks head to the head side of the CL at the head end maybe a RL biner or soft shackle to the foot end foot side of the CL. Putting it...

That's a great idea.

Maybe the uncinched loop allows the ends to ride wider. Weather is less than ideal for testing right now but looking forward to trying it out.

I picked up a 950FP in a premium Burrow 10D during a recent sale. Since then I have not seen the 950FP listed on the premium, only on the ultra.

Bring less food / protein. I have not been during that season in a long time, but remember it well. If you don't bring a fine head net you will consume enough bugs to match the protein in a few...

I was perusing the Simply light designs offerings and saw the Trail lair has an option for the continuous loops to be built in the hammock end channels. Does this actually change the lay of the...

I am not familiar with the material you are using but when sewing hammocks, a simple rolled hem down each long side is sufficient. Don't make the stitch too tight, I use 8-12 / inch and make sure...

Think I just found my new Christmas lights, albeit a single night.

In a hammock the standard 50" works for me, I ask HG to leave the pad clips off. If you want to use it on the ground the clips are great and a 55" works. For reference I have a 48" chest with broad...

Too funny, that and the smoke bender.

A small fire if allowed in the area and star gazing when they are visible is enough to entertain me. I usually nod off reading at home so the same works on a trip.

JollyRoger - I've seen some of the pole mods attached to the tie outs as you describe. What I cannot seem to figure out is the internal ridgeline. Did you have an internal loop on that tarp or have...

On the ground the 55" works well for me and I am not a small person. Side sleeping on a pad may require more width but the straps on the HG quilts help a lot.

You could hem the sides and make a channel on one end then whip the other end. Using this method, you can experiment with the length and get an idea of how much width you prefer at any given length...

Shug - One of your earlier videos where you mouse trapped the Tensa, a true classic!

Thanks for the info, looks like it should work for me. I'll probably pull the trigger on a Tensa 4 and solo kit after the holidays.

I've always been concerned with the trekking pole mod damaging the tarp, but it seems like a lot of people do it. When I first started messing around with porch mode and the side tie outs a couple...

The glow in the dark shock cord is a great solution.

I may have to try those ringworms next time I order from Dutch, they look much easier to work with.

I have some DIY organizers but for the price and weight I really like that pocket.

Another question for the CPAP crew - how cold to you go with the cpap machines? I'm not so worried about the...

The fence pole tensahedron stand seems to work well for hanging outdoors but it only breaks down into 4'+ sections. I've been looking at the solo pole to increase the options when hanging in...

No problems with the 2.3mm holding on the tarp worms/hooks once the loop is formed. I started off with the 1.75mm lashit and then got it in my head that reflective cord was needed when other people...

This seems to work for many, but I am still concerned about the leak factor. Maybe I'll try it out with a couple of ziplocks in the backyard where failure is an option.

The term 'belt and suspenders' refers to a redundancy. You don't really need both, each on their own get the job done independent of each other. If one fails, then you'll be glad you had the...

I keep my CRL on when using the skin for a tarp. The tapered side of the skin goes towards the hook side line. The side with the hook is usually much shorter than the CRL toggle/hardware side line. ...

There seems to be a temporary shortage of MTN 1.7 or at least very limited colors. Maybe once the product is back in stock you can have another look. Arrowhead showed it in orange and Dream hammock...

That snow camo tarp is a perfect match for the landscape. Without the hammock straps the tarp is super stealthy.

I'm no expert on this but isn't the denier the thread diameter? Depending on how the fabric is woven can make a big difference in how it performs. If you like a firm fabric that still saves some...

If you cannot see or feel a difference in the fabrics try weighing each hammock. Assuming they have the same accessories with the same dimensions, the 70d should be a few ounces heavier.

I wouldn't want to be the first one to try out spliced bamboo, but it will be interesting to see if there is a creative solution. Bamboo is a strong material for so many things but once cut I don't...

Assuming this is for a tarp I'd rather have them slip than hold beyond the breaking strength of the fabric they are connected to.

Lots of different ways to run a RL and you can make any of them work. It's just a matter of preference, I tried the Tato connectors, they worked but they were just not for me.

I found this mesh bag to be perfect for a small battery and my Z2 cpap. https://hennessyhammock.com/products/ridgeline-mesh-pocket

Being able to setup in areas where a tent would not work was my original motivation for exploring hammocking. On a group trip on of the crew used a hammock which got me interested. After switching...

Wow, those pictures are fantastic! We just got our first snow of the year in the NE, your pictures look so much better than my driveway.

I use a .175 lash it soft shackles/prusik on a CRL that connects to the split rings on a WB superfly. The WB has very lightweight grosgrain, so I use the existing split ring. If the cordage the...

There is a post under the RSBTR forum about the 1.7 mtn. Apparently, they are looking to restock at some point. I was concerned about not having access to this material, so I pulled the trigger on...

Too bad it doesn't come in the wide version, this sounds interesting.

Good to know the customer support is there. I see various reviews / demos on Youtube, but it can be difficult to weed out the marketing hype and sponsored reveiws. I value the reviews by actual...

I am a beginner but learned a great deal watching Jellyfish's videos. Like any other skill you need to get some basics and then jump in. Starting with cheaper easier to work with fabrics can be...

That is a nice looking tarp. Is the ridgeline bonded as well?

Looks like the 12 days of Christmas sale is active at Zpacks.

Thanks for the update.

Looks great and I'm impressed with the weight. Those 1/2 doors are the best, so easy to duck under yet still provide some added protection if the wind swings around.

That metallic tex33 in gold would go great with the purple 1.7 mtn. :laugh: Probably end up hitting the ground shortly after sitting in it.

Hey, that's great news. Thanks for the update.

I made a tensahedron with the fencing pipes, it works great and comes on family vacations when we have a rental or the 4WD beach. The tensahedron works well but this single pole version would be...

The dutchware 2.3mm doesn't work great with tarpworms and the thinner offering is a bit small for my liking. I just ordered some of the Nama 1.9 reflective cord. The fact that it can be spliced is...
