Woo, been waiting for some kind of sale for a while.
Makes the USD to CAD conversion rate a little more palatable.
Got a 20 wooki. Looking forward to the no fiddle factor.

Aw, no sale on Wookie. :(
Just picked mine up from the post office and gotta say it's a nice piece of kit.
I don't think I picked it up from the description, but I really like they included the long horizontal pocket between...
Nice to hear.
What about the 3/4 UQ that they made prior to being called Hammock Gear!
(That said, haven't really had issues, and pretty pricey to ship from Canada)
I was thinking USD.
Sorry, just got back from vacation.
Available.
Still available.
Still available. Will be headed down to Montana next week.
Adding a data point. 7 days from order to shipping notice.
Still available.
Thanks for the reminder. Haven't sold in a while here!
As stated, first unconditional "I'll take it".
Still available, but skunkmail has first dibs. Responded to your PM.
Hey,
Raising funds for new gear, so the underused stuff gets put on the block.
1. Hennessy Hammock Expedition - $160
Used in the woods three times, and back yard about 4 times. Great condition....
So just going to switch to this system.
Any more discussion on a better knot, or is the biner in the marlin spike (as long as the standing end is pulled through) still the accepted knot?
So quick question to make sure I did this right.
Replaced my ridgeline with dynaglide, and replacing my Spyderline with amsteel continuous loops.
I don't remember having this many issues doing the...
Haha. duh! Seems obvious now that it's written out.
Thanks!!
Will both the whoopie and the continuous loop fith through the melted eyes of the Hennessy?
Hey,
I'm thinking of swapping out my hammock suspension (spyderline & trucker hitch) to whoopie slings this season. Looks much easier to setup and adjust.
The only issue I have is hanging on my...
Any issues hanging in Volcano national park?
Big island. Guess we been talking about it so much that I keep forgetting to mention that.
Weather warm enough in the middle of May to leave the UQ at home?
Good points and I make take some to heart.
Heading to Hawaii in May for a wedding and looks like I may have 2 or 3 nights free a the end of the trip. Friend suggested camping the last couple...
I'll have to fiddle a bit more. Maybe look at connecting the tie outs to the UQ.
But yeah, still cold when summer camping as it gets down to 5 C out in the mountains here.
Hey,
I've been fiddling with my HH (Explorer with Mod 2) and UQ (Perfect Trees/Hammock Gear 3/4) set up.
I haven't been able to fine tune with a test dummy inside the hammock, however, in general...
SOLD
Thanks mrcheviot
Not sure about the bump rules, but it's been a week and on page 4, so I hope this is ok.
Hi,
So I did some binge shopping on merino a while back and bought too much, and have some items I've washed, but never used.

It's oriented property. I think because the picture is so "head on", you can't see the sides.
As for the clamp....
My mom wanted to try out their hammock on my stand, but I only had one biner...
Yup, treated wood.
Should be easy enough to replace. $4 piece of lumber and couple quick holes for peace of mind is a pretty good trade off.
So I've had my 2x4 hammock stand outside for about a month now.
Took a look at one of my uprights and it's got some cracking.
Is this the standard checking of wood, or cracking?
Probably should...
Do you guys still stake the sides when you use a UQ? Do you find it doesn't allow the UQ to snug up against the hammock body?
Thanks for all the help!
Gave it a quick try with a tighter suspension, and that definitely helped. Will do more testing next weekend!
Although, I'm thinking I'll have to give up the side tieout...
When you talk about keeping the shock cord tight, are you referring to the channel shock cord running from end to end?
So I tried out my Crowsnest 3/4 UQ for the first time last night with my hammock stand.
Set up is a HH Explorer with 2QZQ Mod, and I threw together the setup fairly late so didn't get a chance to...
Even with a structural ridgeline?
For me, the mechanical advantage isn't so much for tensioning, but reducing load on the slip knots.
I could switch to whoopies, but i'd already invested in the...
Hey,
For my suspension, I run a pretty standard 3:1 advantage "trucker's hitch" set up.
I have a question about securing the ring to the suspension line.
Right now, I'm using a simple lark's...
So I finally got around to getting this stand put together!
First building project so I didn't know 2x4 aren't actually 2"x4"! All bolts ended up being oversized! No matter, it all still went...
Been planning to put this together for a while now, but finally getting around to it. First ever DIY/Construction project so excuse the basic questions.
Picked up the lumber today, but was a bit...
Canadian Tire sells a stand:
http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/5/SportsRec/Camping/Hammocks/PRD~0881147P/Hammock%252BStand.jsp?locale=en
15' long enough for you?
So I picked up a 3 seasons, 3/4 Crowsnest around the end of the season last year. Haven't been able to get it out last year, but the way things are shaping up, it should this year.
I'm just...
Those using down pillows, do you find they compress to nothing?
Apparently Penberthy Prussiks work better on same diameter lines:

Planning on building my own too.
However, I do plan on keeping it outside (subject to freeze/thaw, rain, snow and other weather up here in Canada).
What's the better choice?
Weather treated...
Does the blackbird have a structural ridgeline?
If so (or ones with structural ridgelines in general), can you ever hang it "wrong".
Awesome. Exactly what I was looking for!
Anyone add an upper set of eye bolts for attaching tarps?
Sounds like more of a joke on tenters, or a conversion technique.
Those with continuous ridgelines:
Do you disconnect your tarp and set it up separately from your ridgeline, or do you leave it as one unit?
So just line with two loops at the end, or does Opie do something special?
I'm using a set on my MacCat with 2 #2 s-biners.
Got my ship notice today. Paid on the 5th.
Same (paid May 10th), but I'm not in a huge rush.
I do hope he lets us know one way or another before he heads off to Europe.
Lanyard/Diamond knot question.
How well and tightly do you have to dress the knot?
