Well, as concerns respecting the relative strengths of one connection-type v. another, I observe that the weight/strength limit
you'll most appreciate respecting is your TARP's. I use bungee side...

Oh, yeah. Sure. ANY suitably-threaded bottle will suffice quite satisfactorily.
The great recommendation for Platypus is the collapsibility; though, I'm STILL (after +1year) amazed at their...

Fair 'n true; I do lay it on thick, when prepping for typical long & unsupported adventures.
I don't treat my double-layered hammocks, but I do lay it on thick, on most things I'll wear/carry.
I...

In order to mod your non-Hennessy tarps, all's necessary is to knot a loop into your tarp's side tieouts, right close to the tarp; or, simply knot in a small plastic ring of appropriate diameter....

Double-layered hammocks offer the inexpressibly glorious benefit of wear-proof, water-proof, non-treatment/refreshment-dependent insect protection.
This is critical for those who tend towards long &...

Drag 'em BOTH, if dragging's easier.:)
Or, just quarter your hoofer; hang the heavier trotters, and pack out the lighter fore's & back straps.
Return for the rears when you're fresh.

Welcome, Ced13.:)
I do a lot of jungles, and share your concern with ants. I never stick around when the ants show up; it's not worth the fight.
All who've recommended permethrin are absolutely...

Well then, you obviously ain't just averagely handy with such things. You're right; you can do it, and you'll manage it quite handily.:D Success to you!

My hint: Be certain that your C.L.'s, WITH...

Yeah, their reflectix pad is pretty useless, as they intend for us to use it.:thumb down:
I just cannibalize & repurpose it.
As earlier: Congrats on the zip-mod. Better to have it and not need it,...

Shame? You ask me if I have any of it? Oh, Snusovic, I'm made almost entirely of it; and of contrition.
It's not a day in my life, until I've embarrassed myself 5times.:D
Best I can do is get...

Very right you are, and very simple it all really is. Went there right after I hopped off my stump.
Pretty standard stuff (the reduction schedule), and good for playing "lab" in the side yard,...

Yes, ditto the 0.5% permethrin/Sawyer brand. That's standard on the civi. market.
I observe that it's sufficient in all environments I frequent, which include some of the world's buggiest.
I once...

Written As, Like and By a man who knows!:thumbup: Coffee does all that, and SO much more!
Let's don't neglect that coffee also: Invigorates fatigued or wounded companions; dispels hunger; sharpens...

Wow! Already with the T.Q. & U.Q.?!:thumbup: You're a new guy with a long eye to the future!
I been in hammocks since I'm a wee lad, and I STILL haven't either the T.Q. or U.Q. Please advise &...

"Let me begin by saying I am brand new to hammock camping and this is my first hammock. So be gentle in your comments![/B]:scared:"

Hey, Slugger. welcome to the forums, and welcome to hammocking....

Exactly! Nothing does as well or as safely (?), what permethrin does. It does it well, wears hard and lasts long.
Surely does repel ticks, and also tortures them on contact.:thumbup: I've seen it...

Mm-hmm! Looks like someone likes his Hennessy Safari!:thumbup:
I know how it is for you. I'd resisted the Safari for yeeeears, because the color offended me in ways I'm not able to describe or...

Dude, I'm sorry! The system edited my answer to pointlessness!:cursing:
I'm trying to recommend D-i-c-k-'s sporting goods. They're everywhere you probably are, I'm sure you know what I mean.

This man's opinion: "Sawyer" brand permethrin. Unmistakeable bright yellow bottles with bold black print. Available at many Big Box & specialty stores in America.
Best buy I've found is the $15.oo,...

Very true. All bugs are not created equal, and fabrics call the tune. Furthermore, all bugs are not mosquitos.
Regarding fabric: Your Safari's a derned stout & tightly woven fabric. I have the...

I prefer, even insist upon, double-bottomed hammocks. I never have to treat with, nor ever refresh, permethrin applications.
I'm always guaranteed immunity to those who would parasitize me; at least...

:lol:Aw, dude! No way! I'll NEVER join the darkside! I don't even have a message. I let the pair of stuffed Spotted Owl chicks on my roof rack send all MY messages!
I killed them myself, by knocking...

Very true. Ditto sub-Saharan Africa.:thumbdown: I don't advise ANYone travel with ANYthing camouflaged to ANYwhere they aren't willing to blackholed for 4-to-8 years in a prison; or to face immediate...

Plus 1! I about wet myself last year, when I found out about these "L.N.T." folk.:thumb down:
Turns out I been ALMOST one of them all along (I even drive Subarus.), but without the pretensions &...

Beware the horse chestnut trees, next month!:D

Gaaaaaah...! It's non use! I'm still raging! Still raging!:cursing::cursing: They got themselves an "education director"?!! Whatda...? Named Ben?! Ben's gonna direct your education, now?! Who's this...

Gaaaaaasp...!:cursing::cursing: And I ain't even being sarcastic! This is unbelievable! I had honestly NO such a thought that there was ever in the world this mind warping cult (My term for it, and...

:lol: Yes indeed, sir! You speak truth, and you make the good point! You point up the extremity of definition to which some the L.N.T. adherents will stretch their practice. As an extremist, I feel...

Precisely, and precisely again!:D

Duuuude... Really? How much of a collapse need it be, before mindless, stumbling humanity becomes THE pest to be avoided? I'd say we're that collapsed already. I'm not out to meet the fine folk I'm...

Precisely as zukiguy says. He speaks for all, when he says the preceding. But, it'd secure your place in hammock history for all time, if you'd send a velcro bottom-entry Hennessy in to 2QZQ for a...

Oh?! Can this TRUE?? I can't believe this! Some of the finest and most comfortable, excellent blue-silk hammocks in which I've ever lain were proudly and masterfully Thai-made! Additionally, the most...

Hello, Washburn, and welcome to the forums.:)
I'm neither currently in, nor am I from, South africa; but I'd hung and adventured in friendly South Africa for 2+ months consecutive, in the 90's. I've...

:lol:My grillfriend would think of the same thing. I've never seen it happen to a girl in any synthetic fiber hammocks, though. Have you/has she? Anyway, here's a vote for cotton (whatever the...

Well, naturally, a larger tarp will give you a larger dry area beneath your hammock. Bringing your tarp down low and lowering the sides will offer protection from wind-driven rain and splashing....

^^^^^^ Another fun & funny, realistic, practical, & informative Shug Emery production done right & well, and served with the inimitable style and class we've all come to enjoy and respect!! Even at...

Aw, hey man, that IS an easy one to solve! Thanks for the underhand puffball.;) I did just exactly this, in the dark, when once I'd test-laid an E.N.O. If I can do it improvisationally, in the dark,...

Hello, powerboil.:D
A water-proof hammock is not a comfortable hammock to be in. Never. Bad idea. No good. It will make you wet, very uncomfortable, and will make you feel disgusting the entire...

:lol::lol::lol: Stop! Stop! You've got me gasping and my face is cramping! How DARE you?! Yes, such kind of topic is here "legal", but such kind of topic is suspicious and unrealistic. Who are these...

Regarding mosquitos and double-layered hammocks: True, mosquitos may penetrate nearly any single layer of textile. Not likely to ever penetrate two layers of even very thin textile, if such are...

Is you out yo mind?!:lol: No. You ain't. You just seen & heard so much full-color, stereophonic hyperbole over distinctions without differences, your mind's jaded and your heart's cynical. That's...

Yeah. There's a point of diminishing return, whereat you will KNOW there's more hammock than's good for you or worth packing. That won't happen to you, in an E.N.O.:D I've found the Single Nest to be...

I prefer almost always to use the stock asym fly with my Hennessy Deep Jungle XL. The important point in successfully deploying the asym is to align the fly's head/foot end tie-outs with the...

Best of recovery to you, from irondog.:) Spine damage/surgery here, too; precisely where you'd had your surgery, and elsewhere. I literally feel your (kind of) pain. Yes, I still hang well and...

Firstly and most importantly: H.Y.O.H.:) Secondly: The intended lie is with one's left shoulder and one's right foot in the sections opened by the side pull-outs. The intention is to provide a...

Tee-hee-hee!:lol: Duuuude! Don't you know?? These here ain't the suing type. Some (Most?) cat lovers will pee in your first cuppa coffee and skin your face, for that kind of swaggering, flippant...

Oh, that's enraging and discouraging, ain't it?? Happened to me more times than I got wrinkles in my wet finger!! Really cuts down on the fun of participating, right? Well, I haven't logged in for...

Hahahaha...:D Well and succinctly stated, Mumbles! Ditto, for what it's worth, at my age and in my mangled shape.:lol: - So long as I'm not spread to dry or stripped for inspection/cleaning, all's...
