I've always suspended my tarp below the ridgeline for the reasons stated above, abrasion and water. As others have also stated, HYOH. Hang it above and hang below then figure out what works best for...
If you know of someone with architectural abilities you could ask them for some advice.
Derek Hansen's Ultimate Hang is a great resource for information hanging hammocks. The Hammock Hang...
This video might help you out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0UBVPRjV1I
That's exactly what they are for. The 2 closer to the middle of the Hammock body are for the pullout and the ones closer to the ends are to clip onto the UQ suspension. I only use the pullout on the...
I have started using the TrailHeadz Anaconda Containment Unit and I haven't had any issues with long term storage in there so far. I really like the ability to get to camp, setup my fly and then hang...
I have started to with my DW chameleon wide but just on the left side head end to keep the mesh out of my face.
I'm right handed and sleep head left, feet right, but I started in a Hennessey Hammock so that might be why I sleep in this direction.
Personally I know this knot as 8 1/2 Loop. A quick google search shows me that others know it as a Figure 8 Loop knot or a Figure 8 on a Bight. In my opinion you could hang some substantial weight...
Welcome to the forums from a Canadian Scouter. Please don't let the short comings of the ENO system put you off hammocking if your first hang isn't as good as could have been. In my opinion, ENOs are...
I would recommend just getting some scrap pieces of fabric and practice sewing straight lines and boxes. After that maybe make yourself a ditty bag out of some cheap dishtowels.
I do things a little differently. I have a loop of shock cord permanently tied to my stakes and then the guide lines are tied to that. My UGQ Winter Dream has double split rings one the tie outs that...
I'm not a chemist but I think that if you have a good fan venting above your test bench you should be ok with the Methyl Hydrate.
You could trying looking for a Solvable Shellac/Lacquer Thinner....
I am not an expert in this field by any stretch of the imagination. Yet I wonder if you were able to breathable heat reflective material, would still have the same level of comfort without the...
I wanted to take a minute and shoutout as well thank Gerrit at Hofman Outdoor Gear Supply. I had ordered one of his Underquilts and received a notification that the colour that I had ordered was out...
A couple of years ago I had a couple Scouts (Scouts Canada) set off on a weekend long hike. Of the 3 hiking 1 forgot his tent pegs at home. She told me on the Sunday that she remember how I had shown...
Podcast is out folks. I just found it on Apple Podcast and subscribed.
I never had the pleasure of meeting Cannibal either in person or on the Forums, but I'm reminded of a little angel statue I saw today. It read:
Your wings were ready too soon,
but our hearts...
That's awesome. There's no greater feeling than making your own gear and being able to use doing something enjoy.
Another great podcast. Thanks for putting this one out.
I meant to find this thread when I listened to the episode. Better late than never. It was so cool to listen to Jonathan on the podcast again.
Sorry Medievia doesn't ring a bell. I'm sure that Vryce was a great guy though.
Not quite Costco pricing, but Blue Ridge Home Fashion did make the Double Black Diamond throws.

I would suggest putting some loops on using Kam Snaps and something like Bias Tape. I used this method to secure my Under Quilt to the tie outs on my Hennessy Hammocks. You could then use Shock Cord...
Great podcast episode. It was refreshing to hear from someone that was fairly new to our hobby.
This is cool!!!
It almost looks like a Canadian Jam knot, but it's hard to tell from just one angle.
I would like to think that he knew that the tree was dead and did his best to push it over before tying his hammock to it. We all know that the lateral forces that hammock induces when we sit/lay in...
Ok I'll offer some suggestions, but take them with a grain of salt. I would use 2 10' sections bent in half forming an /\. You could them drill a hole in the apex of the bent for your S hook to hold...
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's a Zip model.
Take your time. The podcast is worth the wait, but thank you for the heads up all the same.
I'm so glad that you guys stepped up to keep this Podcast going. I did miss not hearing Gris and Spyguyver though. I hope that they will continue to have a segment in the podcast going forward.
I just heard about this today while listening to the HYOH podcast about the same time as it came up in my Facebook feed from an outdoors group. I really like the idea of it being renewable and can be...
A tool roll for camping stakes & cordage. What a great idea.
I like to be different and so while browsing around my local MEC (Think REI for those of your south of the border) and I happened to see Hennessy Expedition Asym Classic and I was instantly hooked....
Didn't know this was here, but I've added myself.
It's a Compact CNC mill to allow Dutch to prototype/manufacture more cool stuff for us
Thank you for all the hard work that you do for this site. Go get some sleep. You've earned it.
She will be an artist of some sort I'm sure. We really appreciate all the positive feedback, you guys are awesome.
I just wanted to wish all the Fathers here a Happy Father's Day. Just to keep this Hammock related, here's a picture that my daughter made me for today.

Are we still going to be able to purchase directly from you as well? I'm camping this weekend, and now that I know about this, it's killing me that I don't have one yet.
I use a Typhon Hex fly on my hammock and I always keep it in the snakeskins when it's packed up. It's a tight fit but it makes for an easier setup and take down than if the fly was on a seperate...
I believe what Crazytown3 is talking about is the rigid cordage that ties the clews to the hammock itself. It's the red lines on either end of the UQ in this image.
...
Turns out that I was wrong. It's actually on the shinny side. I wanted to double check when I removed the threads on the second one and I realised my mistake. When you get the correct side, you can...
I don't know if this is the same for all the throws, but while seam ripping my first throw, I found that the straight thread that doesn't go through is on the duller side. The Shiny side has the...
Got my Throws in today. I look forward to building my Gemini set in near future. I'll post pics when I get the time to start this project.
Maybe a couple of inflatable pillows in some sort of bag? If you're blowing up a dry bag anyways. Some inflatable pillows might keep it inflated.
Post your creations. If you want to share how they were made that would be great, but it's an optional choice. Just show us the good so that we can bask in the glory of them.
She's a beauty. Well done sir.
