I'll take the Superfly
I'll take them
I have a pair of 40* Trailwinders that we use for the summer months and stacking. They use a cordlock and shock cord in the middle of each long side, in addition a lineloc with a little adjustment at...
It's very significantly thinner than polyester webbing and more slippery on top of that. I would think aside from certain slippage it would also age the straps prematurely each time they slip. I...
Awesome! Thanks for that, I like the looks of the Warbonnet model but was curious how well it moved with you and the level of loft with it all cinched down- questions answered.
Thank you all for the replies. To elaborate on my intended usage: this would be used when night Temps are single digits to below zero. Also primarily looking at it as a part of the sleep system. So I...
I've gotten by with hats, balaclava and neck gaiters thus far but the various down hoods out there are starting to look pretty appealing. For the folks that have tried them from warbonnet, hammock...
I've used and currently use all the options you've listed as well as a few others for different applications. I use some type of cinch buckles on loaners, loungers and my kids hammocks- they're very...
I own 2 trailwinders and they are excellent and several other items from simply light, like my favorite hammock. That said they will not hold a candle to the warmth to weight ratio and compactness of...
I use a mixed bag of stakes for my superfly- 4 mini groundhogs, 1 titanium shepherds hook and 4 titanium nail pegs. I use the y stakes on the corners and the others for the doors and tie outs or use...
There are tons of options for guyline out there. I personally use lash-it or zing-it, I buy it by the mini spool of 180ft for $22-$25. It's low stretch, uber strong, UV stable and doesn't hold water....
A large tarp folded in half with an air gap between or 2 tarps with a small space between make a much cooler shade. I've used my Kelly Noah's tarp 12ft folded in half with good success in full sun....
Once you have continuous loops on you can use a plethora of suspension options from turtle ties to becket hitch very easily, you can also use the stock ropes they're just not quite as convenient.
...
If it has the same attachment method as the old style this video is helpful for replacing the rope: https://youtu.be/UpOM2zX8HLg. some of them simply have a webbing loop on the ends now instead of 2...
The straps are not at integral to the hammock so you can replace them with any straps you like. Hennessy should be able to get you items pretty quickly as they are in Blaine, WA and Galiano Island in...
If winter camping in and around GA snow levels shouldn't be much of an issue. If the bulk of the trailwinders isn't of concern I would just go with the symmetrical version. I have a 40* symmetrical...
I used one of Hennessy's 11ft zip hammocks for years quiet comfortably. They are a great, durable hammock, though I would recommend replacing the stock ropes with Amsteel continuous loops to take...
Totally correct, I remember threads years ago where various folks dissected their "asym" hammocks to find that they are just a rectangle as an other gathered end hammock. Having had both an XLC & BB...
If memory serves the footbox on the blackbird originated to create an asymmetrical lay without violating the patent Hennessy holds on their method for creating an asym lay using the tie outs.
That's what I've always used it for, and my top cover. It's nice to have it be removable so it can be left at home if not needed.
I concur, with the exception of ease of adjustment on the trailwinders, there is almost no adjustment needed at all. Other than his and hers trailwinders for car camping all my other UQs are 3/4. I...
Hopefully not overwhelming but the Tensa4 stand may be worth a look if the overall footprint size of the stand is a concern: https://www.tensaoutdoor.com/product/tensa4-hammock-stand/. The drawback...
I'll take it
I don't know of any videos off hand though I'm sure I got the idea on the forum at some point around when Paul first came out with the jarbridge. Here's a couple photos of what I was attempting to...
I have a jarbridge for my daughter and have had a similar experience with it. I solve it with a hook to join both sides of the shock cord together at each end. UQ hooks would also take care of it, or...
An 11ft or 10ft hammock may not be a waste for you even though you can use a shorter one. My wife is 5'1" and she started with a Hennessy Cub. She is comfortable in it but prefers the additional...
I have stacked my trailwinder & 20* Phoenix, it works very nicely. Back pre-Hammock Gear days I had Adam make me a custom 30* top quilt that is one of my most favorite pieces of gear, I find that...
I do consistently put the straps higher for the trail lair than my wife's El Dorado, we nearly always hang side by side. I always chalked it up to the additional headspace compared to the WB so it...
I've had and enjoyed my trail lair for a while now and I'm especially a fan of the increased field of view and head room in it. That said I would agree the ridge line does look pretty high in...
I've been setting up my kids side by side under one tarp and my wife and I under another for several years now. I always take the spreader bars but often don't use them. Last week I did learn how...
I recently purchased a pair of the trailwinders and I've used Hennessy's for many years. You won't have any issues getting a good seal with the hammock, I like the symmetrical version that I got but...
I recently got a pair of Loop Aliens and I like them way more than I thought I would. I'd go as far as saying they are the most versatile and easiest to use pieces of hardware I've ever met for the...
Before I sold my gen 3 used it in combination with a tree but I didn't have enough floor to ceiling height to hang inside. When needed I just went to the neoair in the back with the seats down. You...
6x6 tied together at the top will definitely be sufficient and have no movement. I'd consider going for 15ft internal span between the posts, since buying 16ft boards already, that would give room...
I’ll take the back country boiler
Randy at dream hammock, who first started using the crinkle taffeta tablecloths attempted a demo test using a pallet of pellets for his pellet stove and ran out at 500lbs. I’ve had the same one going...
Hammock sold
Up for sale is an original style blackbird xlc with the single continuous zipper running the full perimeter of the hammock. It is a 1.7 oz single layer in olive green In excellent condition and...

Incubator SOLD to CHSgirl
SOLD First up is a original 900 fill Goose down incubator that I purchased directly from Adam. It has always been stored fully lofted hanging in a closet and is from a smoke free home. It has the...
I’ve been hanging with my kids since they were about 6 months old. The first bed my son (now 4) learned sleep all night in was his hammock. When camping I have a Hennessy cub for each of them and I...
I have never camped in a WA state park but that definitely sounds like something the west side would burden the entire state with. The state park mentioned above is in Idaho and they most certainly...
Welcome to the madness from a fellow Spokanite! let me know if you need any help tweaking the sleep system but it looks like you're off to a great start. How long was the drive down there? I'm...
The top rail is loaded with quite a bit of horizontal force... It's also the thing that keeps the 2 tripods from being pulled toward each other by the dynamically loaded hammock. In short I wouldn't...
Final bump
Pack and hammock still available
