    Definitely not the easiest trip to pack for but I'd be far from the first to do it. One option to lighten the load would be USPS but I don't think that'll be necessary.

    Altogether I should be...

    A sleeve or sack will definitely be good. Seems like it would make it easier to keep the hammock off the ground.

    A suspension that's easily detachable would also be nice in case it gets wet,...

    Well I had a few minutes to hang again today and put the Super Shelter cover on there. I didn't install the pad. I got it out of the bag and put it back in shortly after. Otherwise it was going to...
  4. Well that's simple enough. I'd still have the...

    Well that's simple enough. I'd still have the slings attached to the rings I reckon, so I've got a couple options; daisy chain or whoopie sling. I'll try the Hennessy insulation and a sleeping bag...

    I look forward to when I can get down there. Hopefully there will be another get-together like this one later?

    We had a lot of snow coming down a couple days ago but the ground was too warm. It was in the 40's today, 50's tomorrow. If I have time I might try hanging everything up again for practice. I have...

    That's what I tried today. Had to get the snakes back to deploy the tarp fully, so it was either unclip them or turn them inside-out. Seemed to work okay. Moving the tarp on the prusiks isn't the...

    I've actually been watching Shug's videos. I'm mostly through his beginner how-to series. What a character.

    There's a hang coming up very soon in Tennessee but I won't be able to make it. Would...

    That's quite the collection. A Sprint would be pretty neat to have. All those airheads sound great.

    At the moment I just have a TW200. My old /5 had this Avon fairing that I reckon is pretty rare....

    That makes a lot more sense about the mesh skins. I don't suppose it'll be a huge issue but maybe.

    Regarding the down, I thought I could maybe just fold it up a bit and put it in some sort of dry...

    That sounds like a good time. I'll have to give it a go when I can. I could definitely use some pointers.

    Oh I'd love a Ural. Not a huge Harley guy but I wouldn't be opposed to having one at all. I had an R75/5 for awhile and let it go like a fool. I feel sick when I think about it.



    Oh man it's...
  13. Once again thanks for the input. I think a stuff...

    Once again thanks for the input. I think a stuff sack of some sort would be good for the fly at least. The hammock itself fits in its bag fairly easily but the rainfly in its snakeskins is another...
  14. Okay here's another question then: What changes...

    Okay here's another question then: What changes would be necessary to get a good hang and rainfly setup if I used the Tensa stand? Seems like the HH hex fly might be too big, not sure yet. Also the...
  15. Maybe I should carry a few different suspension...

    Maybe I should carry a few different suspension systems until I figure out what I like. Definitely two separate compression sacks. I could probably use one or two more as well for other stuff. I got...
  16. Hey thanks for all this info. I'm gonna have to...

    Hey thanks for all this info. I'm gonna have to get that book. I don't mind the idea of the whoopie slings for now but I'm sure I'll experiment at some point. The snakeskins that came with this are...

    It's a bit short notice for me but maybe at the next one. What do y'all like to get up to at these gatherings? Hanging out, of course, but I'm just coming from a motorcycle background, so the events...
  18. That's what I need to do :laugh:. I don't...

    That's what I need to do :laugh:. I don't entirely understand why the descending rings are on there in the first place but I guess I can study and figure out my alternatives and such. I still need to...

    I guess it's not important now but here's a picture:

    I think found a video showing how to tie the ring to the hammock. I just...
  20. Thanks for the good info. I think, for now, I...

    Thanks for the good info. I think, for now, I will just omit the set of snakeskins for the hammock itself and use the other set on the rainfly, at least until I get some Amsteel to redo the bit that...

    Seems like the only way. I'm just horrible with knots so I'll have to do a little homework. I got the little removable sheath off the end of the hammock to have a look but no idea how to replicate...
  22. Here's where I'll ask all my silly noob questions

    So I just bought a previously owned (but seemingly never opened according to the previous owner) Hennessy setup but I'm having a hard time figuring it out. From the ad:

    Hey thanks for the input on the Hennessy. I've been wanting to do Natchez Trace while I still have street tires and gearing on the bike. Maybe I can do that this year. What do you ride?

    I'm just now getting into hammocking myself. I ride a little TW200.

    New Guy in Tennessee

    Hey, been a member for awhile now but I actually just sent payment for a like-new Hennessy today. Funny enough, I got a birthday email from this forum and so decided to come say hi and do some...
