Wow, thats crazy, 20. I slept outside for the 1st time in my hammock last night and it got down to 60, I thought I would be fine in a t-shirt and fleece pants. I was fine for about 3 hours, slept...

Makes sense, I guess thats what happened. When I said the tree fell in front of the neighborhood, I meant that it fell right on the road where you enter the neighborhood at, kinda like a natural...

Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. Its just that on your company's website, they have a picture of the hammock, and the netting most definitely looks white. I do agree that the hammock itself is...

Just curious, but why not just tie a tautline hitch rather then the figure 9? Its just one more thing to lose, and also you save some weight, not much, but just something else that you don't have to...

Really? From previous reading I thought that the ridgeline had to be as strong as the suspension. If this is not the case, then I can run down to REI and get some 3mm rope there that will work just...

I have a solution. Go buy an egg crate blue foam pad from wal-mart. I don't know why, but that pad is sooooo STICKY!! Once you put it down that thing is not going to slide anywhere. Its almost...

I also have this hammock, really hard to beat for the price, and also for the weight. I use this hammock on my day hikes to set up at my destination to use as a lounge chair and nap hammock. I find...

I will try that double sheet bend. I too find that with the webbing used in Hennessy's recommended fashion that they slip like crazy up and down a tree unless you make the suspension lines and the...

Wow, that was some storm. We had one blow through georgia that the news made out to be something like a cyclone, but when it got here it was just rain and some light wind. But for some reason a large...

I still love my ultra light travel hammock, but thats for day hikes. Though its not as comfy as the Hennessy, its still way comfy enough to nap in during a day hike. Thats the hammock that I take...

I guess you didn't like the bottom entry? I didn't think I would like it either, but after trying it multiple times, I like it fine. Or do you mean now you will be able to completely take the bug net...

Bears are at more places then you think they are. I have met a ranger in Paulding county here in Georgia while fishing in a WMA here. He said that they have known of a bear population living in the...

I have tried a couple of different hammocks so far, and I by far like the Hennessy the best. I had a couple of speer like hammocks which I hung at a variety of angles, and I was able to somewhat...

Ya, but the squeeze is only happening on the rear part of the webbing, the opposite side of where the suspension lines are tied to. When you are able to wrap it around the tree with the longer...

You can get the ultralight version for $15. It holds up to 250 lbs. and packs down to the size of a sofball. Great for when you go backpacking and want a tent and a hammock. Weighs less then a pound.

Yup, that is the Travel hammock. I have the Ultra light weight version and it is confy, and very light. I chose not to get the mosquito net covered camo version because it is covered in a white...

I'll just shove them in a smaller stuff sack seperately, or just shove it in some outside pockets

I would love to take my dog camping. But around here we have sever coyote problems, and I feel bad about me being up in a tree sleeping happily in my hammock while my dog is below me, exposed....

What REI are you shopping at?? I was looking for an osprey aether in emerald green color and they don't have it in stock at the store I went too, and they said they would never get it in stock. But...

Thats what I had to do, lash the hammock tighter so that it would hold onto the tree. I tried originally to put the webbing up high with sag on the suspension ropes themselves, but this would cause...

The Expedition stuffs very nicely back into the stuff sack, with the straps, and tarps. Took very little time to shove that sucker back in the stuff sack and cinch it closed.

great idea, thanks for the tip.

Just curious if this is ok to do with the hammock (expedition?). I can usually stuff way faster then taking and folding everything nice and neat and then putting it into a stuff sack. I have done it...

Just curious if I can use this knot confidently tying up the hennessy hammock supports to the webbing. I can tie the figure 8 monstrosity they recommend, but it seems like the round turn and 2 half...

Just curious what the best way to lay the pads into an ENO style hammock.

Should I cut a pad that fits from under my shoulders to my butt. Then leave and empty space under my knees and have more...

What exactly is a slipped half hitch?? Is it when you tie a half hitch with a bight?? Is this what it is?

Very good point! Thanks for the info! I guess I should put the ridge line high enough so that when I lounge I won't hit my head on the ridge line! Is this what you do warbonnetguy?? I was just...

Hello all,

I received my Ultralight Travel hammock yesterday and spent time finding the sag that I like. Now, I would like to find the best way to be able to attach a ridgeline that could be...

Ya, I think that the coastal areas probably have the worst mosquito problems. I have read so many horror stories about the mosquitos on Cumberland Island, Georgia that I didn't want to go. Just like...

lol, chasing a racoon until he dropped the cookies, sounds like something from the movie "The Great outdoors" with John Candy! You must have really liked the cookies!

Not in a hammock, but one...

Anyone wanna make one for me?? lol. I guess I might as well have a bug net, better to have one then not have one. I am lame and never learned how to sew, so does anyone have one they wanna make and...

Yup, I should have clarified a bit more youngblood, as Georgia does have virtually all climates except an arid desert. Anyhow I am in northern central georgia, dallas to be exact , and the bugs...

No, no one was hurt. He was actually telling it as a funny story because he rode the bear for a second or two. He wasn't intending on using the hammock to sleep in all night, he was just lounging and...

I am sure it is necassary in some areas of the country. One thing I noticed though is that the mosquitos here in Georgia really only come out at dusk and feed crazily during that time, while during...

Just curious if anyone has had this happen. I remember reading a post by someone who accidently fell asleep in his hammock at night in glacier national park. He said he awoke when something walked...

LOL, now thats funny:D . I actually have The Travel Hammock ultralight coming soon, so I can use that in the mean time and order my rope or webbing online. I will use the ultralight to take with me...

Cool, thanks for the tips. I have a west marine about 30 minutes away. And I have a harbor freight store about 5 minutes away from where I work, I think I will pick up those webbing straps.

...

Just wondering if there are local stores around here that carry rope or webbing strong enough to hold a hammock, and light. I went to walmart and got some polyester fabric that is thick enough to...
