Like minded folks always seem to bond. Amazing that not many folks were on their cell phones but in the moment.


It was a hammock-love-fest truly.

Greeting KiltedWolf,
It will take some patience to get to where you want to be in this hammock journey. Don't rush it. Take it bit by bit and relish in doing and experiencing something new.
To be...

Yes Alex and I spoke on his walk in. He was by himself and really just getting started up again. Some good ideas. He gifted me with a suspension so I am excited to give it a look-see. Liked the...

PART ONE.....
Finally got to hang my hammock (hængekøje) in another country. Denmark will forever be in my heart.
To be invited over to just be me...Shug of the Third Person...was a life changing...

Haaaaa....well, only way to know for sure right?

Some things have no definitive answer......haaaa

Hoping not to intrude on your post here. I am the son of a United States NAVY chief. 21 years in. Loved every moment of it. I asked my Dad once..."Hey Dad, what to Chiefs do?" he took a beat them...

Dreamscape~~~~~!!!
Whoooooo Buddy))))))

Tak for the water and sausage and hot cocoa and cinnamon buns under the tarp in the rain. We done make friends yessir. I had wonderful smorrebrod at Told &Snap. Herring and sardines. Goodness...

Normally I just run my center pole through the grosgrain loop and bypass the shock cord

An amazing well attended big time mind blowing life altering time over here. The International hammock scene is growing and all were so welcoming to all of us Americans. We really not all that...

I’m at the first Euro Hang Con in Denmark. Lots of Havens. I met Derek the designer. He has a brand new pad that does not fold and is much improved. It is an easy rig to go to ground in if needed....

Fabrics very. May take a bit of time to find your groove. In the meantime I can offer some calf ridge remedies.
Enjoy the hammock quest.

I’m in Denmark jet lagged and full after a wonderful breakfast at my hotel in Copenhagen. Walked the town a did ate some savory food and rode the Metro and saw sites went to camping stores. Got...

Just keep tweaking it all with the Tensa. It can take a few tries but when you get it write down all your Tensa measurements. Ridgeline and footing width. Try hanging foot end with closer and a bit...

Enjoy your hammock quest. Be patient with all the bits and bobs. Good nod to ya'.....

I prefer a zipped burnet full. Then I can zip back in the morn and have coffee from the hammock.
Shug

You can wash it in the bathtub. Or take all the suspension off and wash is gentle in the washer. Dry it air dry or hang it. It is just fabric.
Enjoy your hammock quest.
Shug

I plan to go to Told & Snaps to dine on some. Have a hotel in town for my first night in town. Will explore a bit. And find a good Bakery to visit. Just wander about and take it in before Hang Con.

Best to you on the search. Change happens. You sure had a lot of good hangs at Yates.
Shug

It is getting good coverage over the footed of the Amok that is essential. the ENO Housefly is 8'10" wide and 10'8" long. Might just do the trick.

8' minimum and 16' max hang distance. Could be the ticket.

Sector Seven in Jyderup will be Secure and eating Smørrebrød with knife and fork.

I don't have a Discount Code to share. Just showing the hammock~~

What a fun hammock this is. The UL version is so much lighter now. Though in my comments there are still many who think it too heavy for the Ultra Ultralighter camper. So be it. Chair/Recline mode...

Looking forward to breakfast from the hammock eating Smørrebrød~~~
With a knife and fork of course.

Here is how one guy patched his tear on You Tube. fixed their torn silnylon tarps....https://youtu.be/HFVAbi4sqH0?si=bRRjEVC2n4YphEYY
You could sew then seam seal or rig a patch. Gives the tarp...

Same here Fimbul. Very excited to see some of your country.
I've never slept in my hammock outside of the USA. Hope I get to try Smørrebrød~~~
Whoooooo Buddy))))

[QUOTE=Semiuseless;2097983]You can hang with a single tree AND a strong enough pole and ground anchor. I like a stout down tree as a ground anchor...but YMMV. [QUOTE]



The No Ground Hiking Pole...

I'm going to be attending this Danish Hang. Looking forward to seeing and hanging in Denmark~~
Whooooo Buddy))))

Reminds me a little bit of the Linville Gorge here in North Carolina.

They generally take a bit less of an angle....25 degrees or so.
From Warbonnet site:
Ridgerunner Setup
Ridgerunner setup is similar to the above setup in that you want the foot end of the hammock...

Bridge Hammock......

A few tricks for a good pad experience. But once you go Uq...you will never look back.

Continuous loop on most of mine. And I find them most convenient.

This video shows some good options for hanging off of your vehicle......

I've been hanging hammock off of amsteel loops and Superior Gear buckles for a few years with no bad results. I think you will be just fine. Dogbones are amsteel right..?
Shug

Bridge is still out as far as I know. Some folks cross the rocks down there. All depends on water level. Take heed~
Shug

I only ever tie out the bug net over my head but really only at night when I crawl in to sleep. But yes, tie outs can be somewhat inconvenient at times.

This is the bug net off of my Dutchware Chameleon. You can see the shape...

Various degrees of SG hammocks. I was using 30º hammock and 30º Comforter. Jonah had 0º hammock 30º Comforter...all new buy for him so he was excited to try it all.
I loaned Alex 15º hammock and...

That is mighty nice of you...thankee. I ordered one so I'll be good soon. Gotta see what the hype is about.

I concur. Those bottom entry bug nets make "breakfast from the hammock" a pain. But I do have an urge to try one of these Majestics due to the comfort hype.
Shug

It'll get you going.
Bought a few myself in the past....https://youtu.be/b_56W3jdxbY
Enjoy the hammock quest.
Shug

Whoooooo Buddy))))
Was I gone?
Shug

I have a video on that subject that may give you some insight.
And really a double layer is not required for a pad. You can just lay it in the hammock and lay on it.
Enjoy the hammock quest....

I did a video on that subject a while back. Perhaps there will some insight in it for you.
Try a solo! Then you will for sure know if it is for you...or not.
