As far as derating the load carrying capacity a prussik in and of itself is a strong knot. The problem I see with the question you pose is using a rope of the same diameter for a prussik. Typically...
Same experience here....two underquilts, two top quilts, and two tarps from them.
OK thanks.....
What was the build number on this hammock?
Thanks
It is hard to beat the HG crew. Several times they have come through for me in a pinch with high quality professional help and assistance.
I got a 72" wide T Bird DL and use a HG Burrow 20*....I am 6'4" and 235 and it is the ticket. Nice flat lay and I got the extra long wide underquilt. Once I got it dialed in life was good! No...
Well here is my 2 cents worth.....I started with a HH just like yours with the large tarp and sounds like I even suspended mine the same way using a gorda knot and had the HH snake skins as well.
...
I have never had any problems in the Uwharrie or the Birkhead. I live near the Tot Hill Trailhead and cars are parked their constantly with no problems.
I got the Incubator. I am 6'4" myself and I have a 72" wide Thunderbird so we are about as equal size and hammock wise as you can get. I got the full length 20 degree and I have not been sorry yet....
I had my son in a HH Cub from age 5 to about 9 and he finally got too long for it. I used a Big Agnes bag and pad in the hammock for him and he never got cold. The only hard part was he could not...
I got a TBird and love it. Double layer, I am 6'4 240 lbs so I got the 72" wide and 11' long. I got the double layer for stiffness and it sleeps great!
As far as the under quilt hooks I can only...
According to the Uwharrie Lakes Region Trail Guide the difficulty rating is "Difficult" and you have an elevation gain of 2,388'. From the 24/27 trailhead it is 11.27 miles and is trail #98 in the...
I hang my TQ and UQ as well as my sleeping bags which are all down. I have always hung them so I cannot say that one way is better than the other since I have never stored them any other way.
Welcome from the Asheboro area. My son and I hit Uwahrrie a lot on our RZR and camp off the trail. Great time just wish there were more trails to ride.
My son and I have been camping since he was 5 and amazingly enough he finds stuff to get into. He brings a book along and reads that in the hammock before going to bed. Before that we set camp,...
Did you order the wide/tall? If you are over about 6'1" and if you got the regular length and width under quilt it will pull under your hammock when you move around in the hammock. I found this to...
I used a Dutch Flea on a collar attached to the tie outs on my tarp. Then 8' of zing it spliced by Dutch on a tent stake. That way I can go porch mode on hiking poles, trees, or whatever.

Inflatable and packs down small and light.
Here are the two DH's we have....the black and red is a TB and the AU is a Sparrow.120982
.....you can go to Dream Hammocks website and see all kinds of different hammock pictures.
We did not go over in the primitive area....there is no telling. Morrow is one of the best kept secrets of many of the NC State Parks. It has a lot of great trails and amenities.

DH TB and S hanging at Morrow Mtn in NC day after Thanksgiving hang.....had a great time just me and my son. Could not ask for nicer weather....highs in the low 60's and lows in the mid...
I done the same process and it helped get it dialed in. The problem I am having is it keeps rolling under the hammock from the foot end under the hammock during the night. It is happening 3-4 times...
Dream Hammock has some great deals on well bult hammocks for intro all the way up to four season...they are great to deal with and have top notch craftsmanship.
"Gone Hiking" on Friday with my TB and brand new Sparrow my son just recieved this week.
When I done my TB it was 8 weeks and it was a long 8 weeks. I had about 4 weeks on this one so like you said no sweat. I will try and get some pic's of the TB and S hanging side by side. Looking...
Man that looks SEXY!
Got the good news tonight that #2620 has shipped.....Looking forward to seeing the Sparrow in AU. My son has no idea and is going to be blown away by it. We are going camping the day after...
He picked it out and Deanna was great and sent us fabric samples to compare and help finish it out. Hopefuly it will ship tomorrow.:cool:
My son's Sparrow is on the line this week as well...#2620 I hope he likes it....if not I got two nice DH's.
Just ordered my son a Sparrow is being built this week. Hard to beat a DH.
I would agree that my TB is top notch. Still trying to get my TQ and UQ dialed in but once I get that figured out it is gonna a hard set up to beat. I chose the Sparrow for my son because the...
Been watching the order status page and today it shows:
2620 DL-Sparrow 10/20/15 In Progress
This is our second DH (first one being a TB) and is a Sparrow for my son. Early Christmas gift for a...
I got the exact tarp you got. I am using Dutch Flez on the bottom tie outs to get it tight to the ground and then the Dutch Stingerz on each D Ring with 15' of Zing It. The way I make sure it is...
I got a 72" dual layer TB and and love it. The only thing I got to figure out is my set up on my bottom quilt. Once I get that figured out I will be good to go!
So I just ordered my son a Sparrow since he had outgrown his Hennessey Cub and my Asym bottom entry just is not quite working out that I was going to let him have. I needed a hammock that he could...
We are looking forward to getting it and getting in the woods.
I am signed up for the Yates Spring hang in March thanks to all the good feedback provided by everyone. Looking forward to it!
Just ordered a Sparrow for my son. It will be an early Christmas gift and something he can grow into and have for many years. I just got a TB and really liked it. I was going to just put him in a...
Shug thanks for the videos....I have watched them before but forgot your idea of tightning one side up and loosening the other. That may cure the issue of it slipping back under the hammock. Thanks...
Got my DH TB on Thursday last week and took it to Stone Mtn NC camping this weekend. What a difference is all I can say....I have been using hammocks for only about 4 years and the TB is to me in a...
I got the long....I think it is long enough I just have not got my lines adjusted right but I am not sure what I need to do to get it adjusted right.
Just got a TQ and UQ from HG and really like them so this post is not about quality but about my competence setting the UQ up. I have a Dream Hammock Thunderbird. I laid in it prior to going...
Is the Helinox chair for sale?
Edison thank you the DH crew are some of the best folks I have ever done business with. It looks sharp for sure and can't wait to hang in it this weekend.
Randy thanks so much for posting the sneak peak pic's. It turned out sharp thanks for you and your crews attention to detail and craftsmanship. Once again thank you all for your help and it was...
I have one and compared to my Hennessy snake skins it is the BOMB! Much easier to stuff back when breaking camp and fold as well.
As far as the mesh the folks that I have seen that have them say...
Ordered in August and it was good to see the "In Progress" next to my DH TB! It has been great dealing with Randy and Deanna on my hammock and really looking forward to using it this weekend in...
I have used a Big Agnes Lost Ranger and a Big Agnes Q Core in my Hennessy for the last 3 years. It works fine but you gotta work at it to get in and out. Stays warm and once in you can move around...
