Question about overnight parking. Looking at the map there seems to be some distance between the yellow arrow campsite and the fuschia arrow parking area. Is the polite thing to do to pull up to the...

Looking forward to it. Haven't group camped in a long time.

Do you use a structural ridgeline with your hammock? I highly recommend using one as it will help you get the right amount of slack in your hammock regardless of the angle of your suspension. You...

I was going to ask a similar question. I have 11yo that wants to do a tandem hang. He's still scared of sleeping on his own, and wants a tandem setup. Here is the gear list that I was going to...

I agree. I had a Ninox and returned it for the same reason, too much stretch. I had to put the tree straps at almost 9' high to keep from bottoming out.

I think we'll be ok weight wise, Our combined weight would be 220lbs. The picture looks like what I want to do. So as long as the trunk is thick enough we should stay apart reasonably well.

Been enjoying this thread, thanks everyone for posting. I'm looking to do a first overnight backpacking trip with my 10yo. We did a double hang recently, which went "ok", but we had to overlap...

I like the idea of group activities and contests. However I think they are tough to organize as people are scattered about and often get sidetracked. Maybe there could be designated areas for such...

I think before you consider SMR, you should read the current SMR Ninox thread going on.

Their customer service has been very...

I think you could suspend with a whoopie sling by tying the whoopie sling to the nylon webbing at the gathered end of the hammock using a larks head knot, then attach the whoopie sling to your tree...

I think your best bet is to just buy it from SMR directly. They'll have plenty I think (they'll at least have two extra from publicalias and me :laugh:). If you don't get any addons they're kinda...

I think your best bet is just to buy one from the SMR website directly. If you don't want any of the add-ons, they're kind of cheap. It's $189 for just the hammock. I think they'll have plenty of...

Good to know. Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm definitely sending mine back. There's just too much wrong with it for me to like what's right with it.

Were you able to successfully process a return with SMR? I emailed their customer support 2 days ago and haven't heard back. I'll be sending mine back if I can.

Good point BillyBob and I think you're 100% right about the sag/comfort correlation. When I hung the hammock, the ridgeline is right at eye level and I clear the ground by maybe 6-8". The ridgeline...

IMHO it's the hammock. The suspension straps themselves are just regular dyneema/polypro webbing straps, which have very little give/stretch. It sort of makes sense since the "lay flat" secret is...

I'm thinking of cutting out the nylon webbing attachment points and replacing it with an amsteel continuous loop. JesterC do you think that would be doable looking at your Ninox? Looking at the...

I think I'm not adding anything to what everyone has already said here. Overall the Ninox is underwhelming. There's no one terrible thing about it, but it's just one small thing after another. It...

I kind of wonder what the target market or intended user was for this hammock. It doesn't seem for backpackers. Yet a lot of time and attention to detail went into features all over this hammock....

I just got mine and my weights and opinions concur with akivisuals'. Overall the thing is huge. The packed volume is much bigger than I thought it would be. Debating if I should use it just for car...

My Ninox is scheduled for delivery this Friday. Hopefully I'll have a review and pics soon.

Update from SMR on their suspension. I wonder if the hole in the middle of the buckle is for a spreader bar? I'd imagine so. When I originally placed my order, I got a double hammock. I didn't...

Ouch OlTrailDog. Not blaming anyone for my decisions, and I'm perfectly happy living with them. No problems with the production delay either. It's a KS not an in stock product, I get that. Just...

I might take you up on that offer if I get mine before July. It's doubtful I'll get it then. I'm kinda done with SMR. I'm not sure why I took a chance on a complete unknown when I could have just...

Thanks everyone for your help. I decided to try the suggested solutions in order of what I'd probably have available on a trail. Here are my results. Just for clarification, the knot is a...

I backed this kickstarter campaign, and I'm kind of already regretting it. I think they put a lot of effort into their marketing, by making slick videos with good looking people. Apparently this...

I have a kevlar tree strap that I use a titanium toggle to attach to my whoopie sling. When it rains for a prolonged period, the slipknot gets stuck and won't budge. It's happened again and I can't...

I'd be interested in seeing a demo or presentation on how to hang two hammocks together with a spreader bar at this event. I'm looking to do a dual hammock setup, but I'm not sure how that...

First time coming to MAHHA. I'll be in a hammock, but my wife and kid will be in a tent. Is that ok? Not sure what MAHHA etiquette is.

Yeah I got to this forum through Dutchware who said this was the place to go for advice and ideas. I went in there with a stock ENO Doublenest hammock. With about $45 worth of upgrades, we dropped...

Thanks for the replies everyone. It sounds like a great event. I'm new to this forum, but have been hammock camping for about two years. So I'm somewhere in between a noob and pro. Looking...

Hi, I'm in your backyard so to speak and hail from Lancaster City. I've been hanging for about two years now. I'm completely new to the forum. I plan to go to the MAHA 2019. Hopefully I can meet...

Hi all. I'm new to this forum. I'm interested in attending this event. How does it work? Do I need to register beforehand? Do you have to stay for all 3 days? What should I bring and be prepared...
