No overstuff, and I consider myself to be a cold sleeper.
Last night I tested out my HH with my 20 degree incubator. I can honestly say I knew that the Hammock Gear was quality, but I am still in utter shock that the 20 degree incubator kept my backside...
Sorry for taking a few days to post this, but I received my order on Thursday. Ordered originally on 12/30. It packed a lot smaller than I had envisioned. Big difference compared to the synthetic...
Price reduced
I am posting a Long Range Bug Out Bag that I used on one trip. It is in basically brand new condition will be a steal for someone that is looking for a great bag that will fit a lot of gear in it. ...
Funds sent :)
I will take 2 please and THANK YOU. Love this forum and how people are not on here to rip others off.
I saw a bunch on eBay the other day when I looked. They were going for roughly 34 dollars if I remember right
I am not an ounces weenie, but those military tarps are not designed for individual carry at all. I will look into the Warbonnet and the silnylon ones because CF is definitely more expensive and I...
Hello there,
Would love to see what you guys recommend for a tarp that is best suited for the military. I am thinking of a bigger tarp that will allow me to hang up my Hennessy Jungle Expedition,...
Glad to see it was 1.5", as I have a couple 96"x1.5" straps. I would have to invest in new straps for 2".
Congrats on choosing the HH. I have been so freaking happy with mine and the only problem I have with it is just the fact I don't have trees in my yard to hang more and hard to get the wife to get...
I don't want to come off as offending the original poster, but read the post initially as a great post about getting into hammocking with a great solution on the relative cheap without going super...
While I agree with the premise of this post, I would say you can get a high quality hammock that is an all in one like the Hennessy Hammocks and choose multiple options and still stay under 200 easy...
I can see what you mean with basically a second layer and how that would be easier to clean than the actual UQ. I will hopefully order one soon as I want to make sure I get some good hanging in soon...
Newbie here, but if the UQP are made of argon, what is the purpose if the UQ itself already has argon outer?
I agree with the above in that she could go with the short and have plenty of overhang and you a regular and will still be plenty fine. I am an inch shorter than you and went with the regular.
I will be deploying to Iraq this year, so I don't think this is a realistic goal for me, but possibly next year when I will have most of the year to manage that. I do think it is wise to set goals...
You can also order them off eBay as there were quite a few sellers when I looked yesterday.
Looking forward to hearing how your test went. I bought an incubator 20 as well, and will have to wait patiently for the next few weeks to a month go buy before I will get mine and can take it out...
I would check out the Hennessy Expedition. Come with hammock, bug net, and tarp for 160. That lets you get a decent under quilt and pack and stay within budget. I spent a little more and bought...
I hadn't thought about the fact a little wide might help a ton with a side sleeper. I am a side sleeper in bed, but find I normally sleep well on my back in the hammock (although I usually at some...
I think a PLUQ will do you just fine if you aren't wanting to hang in late fall, winter, or early spring. A PLUQ will only keep you so warm. PL are great, but they do have limitations with how thin...
One of the reasons I love my Hennessy in that it is an all in one and has a static ridgeline.
I took your guys advice and went ahead and bought a HG Incubator 20. Will be a few weeks I am sure before it will arrive, but I am excited. I appreciate all of the advice as I was wanting to be...
Welcome to the forum. It took me a little while before I joined as well. I was learning so much and finally bit the bullet and bought some gear and decided I loved it to much not to be a part of...
Would be very interested in seeing what the temp range would be if you could double up two of these quilts. I don't have a costco membership, but see you can get them on eBay for 32 or so. Maybe...
I called multiple vendors and inquired about a military discount. HG was the only one (did not call JRB because of the cost difference from the start) that I called that offered a discount. Support...
I spoke with Paul and he already confirmed that the Zeppelin will work with the Hennessy (Zip model), but I was wondering if any of you kind folks could add some photos of your HH in a Zeppelin. I...
Yeah, that is the biggest problem is I would love an UQ, but can't afford it right now. Especially when the wife hangs as well which really means I have to double the cost because I can't have an UQ...
I have looked and haven't exactly seen this question/answer posed and wanted to see what your thoughts were on this.
I am looking at whether I should get the HHSS or spend more money on a UQ...
One of your first mistakes is you were wearing cotton. You can research quickly how terrible cotton is in the cold.
I am starting to lean more to the side of taking items that are multipurpose. Although I did find a small pillow at Arrowhead that has a clip that will clip into the hennessy hammock that is small...
I just moved from Fairbanks, AK, but I am just getting into hammocking. I will say I was there three years and saw no one in a hammock if that tells you much. I wish I could have found this earlier...
Congrats on your Hennessy. I have the Hennessy Jungle Expedition Zip and LOVE IT!!!! In fact I am heading out here in about a half hour to go hang for the night. Welcome to the board and many hang...
Great idea and I will have to look into this more. Under quilt is just not in the budget right now do this is a great idea.
Being a basic newbie to hammock camping, Shug was my introduction to this great community. I am even going out tonight on Christmas eve to start the drive to go and pick up my kids, and instead of...
Glad I am not the only one lately that sees any downtime as a time I should just hang the hammock and relax and read. lol
Getting my little ones over the next couple days, looking forward to getting out at some point for a family hang, will have to be car camping for sure though.
Are you looking to sell the Radiant pad at all?
For future notice, how does this work if you have a Hennessy with the bug net and structural ridgeline?
Thanks for the report. This is a great report and will allow the wife and I to review it again before we head out that way. Unfortunately it will be a couple years at least.
Welcome from Clarksville, TN
That definitely makes it easier to figure out the time if your not doing it LOL. Will look forward to your reports after using them. This would definitely be a great way to go if it works as it...
What is the cost on the quilts? If you calculate the cost of the two quilts and your time, what do you estimate you would have wrapped up in one compared to just buying a TQ? Looking forward to...
I am looking at these double bubble pads as well, but am not sold enough to make the leap yet. I like the fact that it can be clipped in so you don't have to worry about it moving around, but am not...
This does sound like a great trip. We are only about 4-4:30 from there, so we are looking forward to seeing your trip report. We might have to try it this spring sometime.
Ashe- Sorry, I have been in a military school that had me tied up and wasn't on much. I would be up for either one. My wife and I would love to backcountry, but the daughter going with us would be...
So from the picture on my phone (very small even on a iPhone 6+, it wasn't clear that he wasn't using any sort of tree straps. I understood it was against the rules, but didn't know how else you...
Maybe I am missing something in the photo, but having not been to this location what were they supposed to do or should I say what should they do. To use their hammock it didn't seem there was...
