Since I have an older HHED. It looks like my suspension lines are a wider diameter than the videos I've found about how to use the descender rings. Do you think they will work with my gear?
I have a Big Agnes 20* down bag. I use it as a quilt most of the time. When really cold a sleeping bag with pad inserted.
Thank you all for the input. This has been a really big decision & purchase for me. I’ve been hammock camping since 2006 and have been wanting/needing an under quilt, so got one!. I spent a lot of...
i see your point, I already have that bad back and I'm pretty short so the bottom entry suits me. I still may go for the 2QZQ mod to reach things outside easier. and Im going for the JRB. The...
See... that's been my-hold up all these years. I don't want to hit the ground with an already bad back. I bought my first HH in 2006. It's never let me down. It's just not warm enough! So staying...
Hi, how cold of temp have you managed to stay warm using the potomac. I'm shopping for an under quilt for the HHED, bottom entry. Katie
Thanks for the reply dkurfiss! I see you have standard HH suspension, what are the rings you mention? How do they work. Ive used the standard suspension with lashing for many years. NEVER had a...
Hi folks, I have a Hennessy Explorer Deluxe, with the supper shelter. I've had it for a number of years & love it. My experiences have been good, down into the 40's, My first night out with temps in...

This is true. Been using the stock tarp for years (2006) in rain and wind and never got wet. just keep the tarp close to the ride line and tied down well. Not a good view from the hammock, but dry!...
Hey, Cali, Do you think the redwing would fit me?
Okay, its official, I've put the Fall Sprawl on my calendar! Let's see if I can keep it there.
Sure had a good time, used some of my new gear, ate well, slept in my hammock, but really enjoyed making new friends! Baja & Mac made the whole trip special with their generosity and kindness! ...
Leaving work very soon, if any one needs anything out on the island speak now or......
You know this just means Blind Squirrel will want to bring more stuff!!!
I guess I'm more the quiet type! i have leaned bunches from reading the stories from the great people here on this site. When I first found Shug i watched videos for HOURS!!! Ha Ha! I bought my...
Muskrat, How can I donate to the shrimp fund? :o)
I love my HH's, have had them several years, no problems with quality or other.... I live in east/central GA. We, almost, always have 'skeeters etc, so always need the net. I would recommend them to...
I found hammock forums on white blaze a good many years ago, that lead me here. I read forums for a while before getting my 1st hammock, but was sure planning to get one! Long, almost sleepless,...
just wondering... what pack are you going to or already using?
Never fell out of the Hennesy ED. Did a fabulous flip out of a rope hammock once! I don't think anyone saw! :o)
Bought this pack! Waiting for delivery. :o)
Don't inflate pad all the way. I use Big Agness bag/pad that helps a lot too , for me anyway.
Perfect paddle day! Sunny, windless, beautiful. As an avid paddler, made me wish I was there! I call playing hookey, mental health days! They are a needed part of my life! Paddle On!
I have to say in addition to my last post, we stayed at Unicoi in a travel trailer and i put up a hammock for afternoon naps and not a word was said. So depends...
I called unicoi and asked about hangin', their answer was no, because tent has to be ON the tent pad and trees are off the tent pad so the answer must be no, we stayed elsewhere! The guy at Happy...
I really like the bottom entry. i'm short with back issues. Very easy to just sit in and lay back. Never be with out bug net here in GA, side zip mod could be handy in some situations,but have...
bIG Agnes wedgie WILL DEF. WORK WITH BIG AGNES bags that they recommend. can't say about others. would be a bad gamble. i have a BA bag/pad and like it.
Yeah, why not...my dogs sure like to get in my hammock!

All i know about the wbbb is that lots of folks love it! I got the hennessey before wbbb were popular. Being old ,fat, short, with back issues it has always been easy for me to get in and out of my...
:cool:edisto paddle, hang, in the fall, sounds like something I could do.
Yep, I know that affordability problem! But would be cool for a place to hang on my property. i been trying to get my husband to build me a tree house!

If any body is reading who can call the group at Goat Island...I won't be able to go. Dr. grounded me yesterday for crazy high blood pressure. Was thinking of going any way, but husband ask me to...

I'm good for a 8 - 10 mile paddle tops. And that is if it isn't 104 degrees again next week! I did 2, 8 mile, days in the Okefenokee in May, middle 90's. But didn't break any speed records, like...
... fellow at Moon's offered the fire wood. I have some if needed.
I can bring firewood for cobbler! Wood might need a ferry ride.
I'm looking forward to this trip! Thanks to all for the "welcome"!
(Is this a dog friendly event or is general attitude no dogs! We go with & without!)

I have a king charles spainel, Captain Jack, we're kayakers, and he always goes on trips with us. He loves his boat and he sleeps in the HH expedition Deluxe with me. He is a great buddy.
