Skjold is bit lighter than superfly. The older Borg-tarp was heavier than superfly.
Just a note. You call the suspension cord ridgeline in your video. The ridgeline is separate from suspension.
70D is quite rough compared to for example 20 d and 40 d found in warbonnet models. I don't find any fabric better than the other.
About the Hennessy weight. They are not that heavy compared to...
Last night was bit below 10 Celcius (50 F). Rained all night. Slept with my topquilt fully open in a t-shirt. Didn't feel a thing under my butt or back so I'd say it can go at least 5 - 10 Celcius...
I have to correct my previous post. I did some more research. It seems the Jungle hammocks do not come with an insulation, but are meant to be used with the heat reflecting pads. It seems they also...
I don't know why they have so confusing naming with their products.
For my understanding Hennessy has four insulation products:
- The SuperShelter. It has a waterproof undercover and a concave...
So for what I can tell, it is the same thing that was introduced over a decade ago. It's windproof, waterproof; you can take it off if you want. I even followed the ten-year-old videos on how to set...
That is the old system. It has the waterproof undercover.
I did have the new system. I sold the hammock, but kept the pad.
It seems the SuperShelter has changed slightly comparing to the stock photos. The included stuff sack is now the same as with the 4 Season hammock. You can store both the hammock and the SuperShelter...
Btw I noticed that they call the SuperShelter a 4 Season insulation system as well. I don't know which one you celius refered a month ago.
The ”new system” as refered in this thread is the one...
I wonder if that was the first model they sold. They still carry a bit improved version of it ”The Scout”
I tried multiple hammocks. I started with TTTM, then the Amok Segl, next the Hennessy 4 Season Explorer, Amok Draumr and Warbonnet with an underquilt.
The Hennessy was the most comfortable to...
I asked them about it last year. They said it is the plain old reflective sheet. I tried it. Wasn't breathable.
Here's the email exhange.
My question
- ”I follow HammockForums and there is a...
I could try sewing them myself when I get back home next week. Doesn't look too complicated.
Last two nights I have been experimenting with second ridgeline to hook the underquilt to. Lacking...
I actually saw those suggested for calf ridge when I first tried googling around. I bet shipping to Finland would be over 20 $ so just for that one item it's bit steep. Looks like it could be helpful...
It can be little tight yes, but it isn't nearly cinched as tight as it could be. I tried loosening it all the way, but it didn't make any noticable difference in the squeeze. I'll try to play more...
I tried bit of everything, but I couldn't get it any better. I slept just fine even with the squeeze, but still not ideal. Adjusting the underquilt so it is just below my neck made the biggest...
I did watch that (and few other of your underquilt videos) prior setting my underquilt but I think my initial setup was so wrong that tightening the footbox side suspension only made things worse. ...
The UQ is 215 cm long (84.7 inches) so it should be long enough for me. I tossed the ”primary” suspension and adjusted the uq so it covers part of my neck (it used to cover my head and even bit...
I only have the issue with the underquilt on.
The force that is pushing my leg inwards is only minor but it is enough to cause discomfort. Last night was my fifth night with the UQ on, so it is...
I don't have that problem without an underquilt.
Cumulus shows on their instruction video to hook up the underquilt with 4 shock cords which have linelocks.
The Underquilt has however additional 5...
I'm having difficulties setting my UQ so it doesn't squeeze my feet together. I first set the UQ so it's hooked with only the drawstring. I started noticing some pain in my foot after few nights. I...
I hadn't heard of vipon before. There was a netless hammock for 9 eurs in amazon.de. I bought it for my 5 year old niece who always wants to play in my hammocks with her shoes on. Now she can have...
If the bugnet is your only issue could an improvised tieout for the bugnet work? Attach one or two elastic cords to the bugnet (protrude it a bit add, a small stone to make it hold) and wire it...
So I almost ordered a gear sling. Then I began thinking that do I really need one just for holding gear up. I usually carry an extra piece of cloth with me wherever I camp. A towel, a groundcloth, a...
I hike in similar conditions that even in summer there can be sub zero (on rare occasions) weather. Back before I was using a hammock as a shelter I had an exped Synmat 9 LW as a pad for backbacking...
True, true. I made some calculations how much I saved by ordering the eldorado and superfly in different dates. It seems my assumption that the customs would add much to the order were wrong....
Amok has the Segl XL, which is a typical gathered end hammock and a 90 degree hammock called Draumr. There is a larger version of the Draumr called Draumr XL.
I have used both the Draumr and the...
Theres an Independence Day sale going on. Got myself a superfly 😊
These sales are great opportunity to buy stuff when living in europe as the prices usually go just below the customs limit.
Yes I saw the discussion about the breathable layer and I asked them before ordering about it. It was just the plain old emergency blanket. Which was a bit disappointing.
I ended up selling the...
I have the new system which is basically just the ocf pad. There's no waterproof layer below the hammock. I tried the space blanket only once. Below the pad as currently recommended by Hennessy. That...
Hennessy's supershelter does fit nicely for Hennessy hammocks. The open cell foam pad however is no good for 3 season usage. It depends how cold it gets. In Finland it doesn't even cover summer use....
I reveived my light double layer (non dreamtex) eldorado today. Gotta say the fabric inside feels very nice. Nicer than in any of my other 4 hammocks. The Dreamtex must be awesome material if it can...
I'm 5'10" and I find getting in quite easy. Easiest way for me is to just bend the footbox and hop in sideways.
I have tried the cowboy method of just pulling the pad between my legs and sitting in...
Double Layer Eldorado + Suspension was under the limit when having to pay customs. Had to be bought. Now I just really have to sell one hammock to justify this to myself
Night out with the Draumr!
Setting up the hammock - This must be the easiest hammock to set up. I already knew how to use the suspension as I have the Segl XL, and Draumr has the exact same one....
Draumr is back in stock in the European store. Ordered mine in woody green.
Still haven't decided if I should return the UL LW mat. What I really would need is a lightweight mat with low R-value....
Oh I see. Didn't think of that.. Placing stuff under the ocf pad you can only add warmth for your butt and back.
Came back from a one night hiking trip. I had the hammock with me and I tried Fimbuls tying method worked flawlessly on one end. I set the hammock on a downhill. The other end I couldn't get high...
It didn't say what he did. Only how the mats broke. One of the walls seperating the tubes broke. I have heard it happen to exped mats. I'm not sure if it is an issue with newer versions. That thread...
Oh that's too bad. I was expecting them to behave the same. I haven't yet used my UL mat. Might return it then. I only bought it to get the pump bag for my Synmat 9 LW and maybe get some lighter mat...
Yes beer mode is definitely needed
Btw. Is there a reason why so many are using Synmat 9 vs UL or 7 with your draumr?
Is it more comfortable or something? Amok seems to almost recommend using...
I just realized that even if the moisture escapes the mat retains all the heat. It will be about as warm as your back. That might be the reason.
The engineer in me would want to try how much you...
I wonder why is that. If something breaths then in all sense the moisture should escape somehow. I use those Ikea water barrier sheets under my cotton sheets if I drop a coffee mug it doesn't spoil...
I wonder if something could be done to help alleviate that issue. If the pad sleeve absorbs moisture could some kind of breathable fabric on top of the mat help. This sheet is custom made for the...
Yeah I know it's bulkish. I just need it to fit between my bikes handlebars with some other gear. That will fit just nicely.
The weight and the size of the hammocktent sure looks nice. The hammock...
Oh yeah I have the Borg too to compare :) Yes looks good. Smaller than I thought. I think the smaller Draumr actually comes in bigger package but I guess it cannot be much more bigger than the XL.
I couldn't understand anything you said in the video, but I'm pretty sure I got the hang of it :) Have to try that method out. Seems a lot easier and can be done even with shorter straps. I'm bit...
I skipped the Draumr earlier this month to buy something I felt would be more versatile to hike with, not 100 % my current choice is any more versatile and now I cannot get past the feeling I also...
Yey, go Tampere! :) I have tested the insulation only during the day. I took a nap today and I was warm with just a light fully opened sleeping bag. The temps have been around 10 Celsius during the...
