Well, thank you Gentlemen for your quick response. I'm going to give a Sil-poly tarp a try. Just got one from HG. I'll seam seal it and give it a winter test, maybe next weekend.

As with most materials for tent/tarp, it is best not to pitch things banjo-string tight, but just snug enough to get out the wrinkles. In the above photo only the ridge line is quite tight,...
I have an eight year old Dyneema tarp with about 90 days deployed. On my most recent trip, it had numerous leaks. When I investigated in the daylight (it was night when I discovered the leaks)...
Oh, and they charged almost nothing for the modification. Mostly for the down and a small fee for opening and closing.
Okay everyone, UGQ worked with me, and were able to modify my WL 15° underquilt. Specifically, they were able to add 4 oz of down and that eliminated the many voids in the down. As far as the top...
okay, thanks for the responses. I have contacted 2QZQ, they do NOT do anything with down, but gave me several suggestions on vendors who might. I will post a follow up when my issue is resolved.
Hi,
I have a couple of WL quilts that I would like modified. Obviously I can't send them to WL for modification. I am NOT good at DIY with a sewing machine so that option is ruled out. I am...
I lived in Florida in the late 60s early 70s. I've walked into a Banana spider web, in the dark (teenage nocturnal excursions, generally up to no good). I got a weeks worth of aerobic exercise in...
So, my Hammock Gear quilts and tarp arrived today! Talk about your Christmas in June. All I'm waiting on now is my small (4 oz) spray bottle of 20% Picaridan and 180' of 1.75 zingit. The Picaridan...
So, after forty years of factory work, I retired on May 31st, 2017. In 13 days I arrive at Baxter State Park in Maine, the next day, I climb Katahdin and begin a southbound trek that I hope ends in...
Okay, I'll see what I can do.120967

There, two pictures showing it in use.
I made a DIY 5 oz Climashield UQ based on the pattern found here: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php/58518-Knocked-out-a-Climashield-UQ-last-night?highlight=Climashield . The pattern...
So, I received a Hennessy Hammock for Christmas last year (2014) and have been slowly accumulating the necessary accessories and making the necessary modifications (based on information gleaned from...

Hi all,
I received my HH Deluxe Explorer for Christmas. I've only hung it three times and have not spent a night in it yet. I have however, gone off the deep end and have made a few modifications...
Thank you.
Okay, now that you put it that way, it seems rather obvious, putting my title as MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS in question....
I know this is an old thread, but, nevertheless I have questions.
I was wondering how you managed to use a sewing machine with that Climashield Apex as the bottom layer (or as the top layer...
I would think that an excellent philosophy for life in general.....
