Hi Loner,
I watched all your videos while I was dreaming and planning for my own thru-hike. I start Monday, and can't wait! I wish I could get my pack weight down as light as yours was--I think...
Hello from Tennessee!
Hello and welcome from your western neighbor, Tennessee.
Great office! Sure beats a cubicle.
Hello and welcome from Tennessee.
You are about to have so much fun! Btw, I love my Hennessy.
Welcome from Tennessee.
Hello from Tennessee!
Welcome from Tennessee
Hi and welcome from Tennessee! You have had a lot of good advice on a first hammock already, and as you can see people do have different opinions. I would recommend a Hennessy Expedition as your...
Welcome from Tennessee! Maybe I'll see you on the trail--I start Monday.
Welcome from Tennessee.
Hello and welcome from Tennessee. Better late than never!
Welcome from sunny (today at least) Tennessee.
Hey y'all back at you from God's country--Tennessee. You are set to have lots of fun!
I read in a trail journal about a hiker who cut the ridgeline on her HH and tied each end to a carabiner. Then when she wanted the ridgeline--for holding up the bugnet, for hanging the small items...
I second the motion about jewelweed. I make it into a soap, that way I can have it always with me, and it also includes the benefits of soap and water. If you can gather the plants in late summer...
I'm in! Thank you!
Yay, me!
Thanks, Tncamper. In my family we decided to give only handmade Christmas gifts this year (made by us, ourselves, or by someone else.) I made hammocks for several of our adult sons and...
Ooh, me too, me too! It's so cute!

I really like my bottom entry HH. No problem with leaves, dirt, etc, the hammock never touches the ground, so I don't see how that could be a problem. Getting in is easy--pull the velcro apart,...
Thanks, I would love to play too!

I am still a fairly new hammock camper, but I have spent several nights in my HH and found it to be very comfortable. My question is that there was conflicting advice in two consecutive posts on...
PM sent, will take the TQ
Is the Mamba TQ still available? If it is, will you take $200 for it?
(Keeping my fingers crossed, and trying to stay within budget)

We will be SOBO. You'll know us by our hammocks!
Sorry for the hijack. Now, back to our regularly scheduled thread.
Hi BLA,
Still working on the gear, accumulating it piece by piece. We had most of the camping gear, I'm working on clothes now--wool, fleece, down, and synthetic. Nice to meet a Brit on the...
Another female hanger here in beautiful Tennessee, planning a 2013 thru-hike of the AT with my husband, both in our hammocks.
I have the bottom entry Hennessy, but never thought of using it for...
I will take it. My husband has a down vest, but he needs a jacket too.
I will take it if XSrcing doesn't.
Thank you! I don't understand why my link didn't show the sale price even after refreshing, so I appreciate your help. Ordered my quilt! Yahoo, no more pad for me!
I thought the sale price on the Jarbridge was $80? Trying to order one from the website and it comes up as $100. Still a good price, but what happened to the $80 deal??
Oops! You're right, I misread the particulars. Still not ready to commit though, so...carry on.
I'll get in line behind blpalmer.
How much does it weigh?
Got my email today too! Must be a whole flock that shipped out!

Very good ideas, guys. I knew I could count on you! I will work with the wool blanket a couple of different ways and see how it works best. I would love to be able to save the cost of new UQ,...
Girl Power!
Wow, Pips! I would have never thought of that! There is a solution for every conceivable problem, somewhere here on this forum, I do believe!
Thanks to all who replied. Let's get out there and...
I got into hammock camping because of my love for my kayak, which led to my desire to take longer trips. I did my first overnight kayak trip just a few weeks ago and slept in my tent, which is when...
Oh, and I should add that I also have an old synthetic sleeping bag that could be made into an UQ in place of the wool. Just considering all my options. I sleep cold.

I am a new hammock camper, and loving it! I haven't had any trouble staying warm so far with a ccf pad and a down sleeping bag--but it is June, in Tennessee. I will definitely be needing some more...
Will a Jarbridge fit a HH? Their website lists the Potomac as being designed for the HH, but I like the price (and the reviews) on the Jarbridge:) (Of course it's no good if it doesn't fit the...
Because I weave!
Kathy
I'm giving it a try as a way to extend my kayak trips. Weight isn't so much an issue when kayak camping as space is, but hammocks are smaller than tents, so I'm still ahead.
And, of course,...
Hey y'all. I just got a Hennessy and am working to get my suspension all figured out in the yard before I take it out for a real overnight. I live in God's country--AKA Tennessee--and I'm taking up...
