I live in Los Angeles and backpack mostly in the Sierras. In the 5 years I have been hammocking, besides my 2 friends who started when I did, I have never seen any other hammockers.

I got my zipper mod in the mail the other day. This is a really great idea for the following reasons.

1) Easier entry and exit especially useful when nature calls in the middle of the night.
2)...

I use a thermarest fleece pillow case http://www.backcountry.com/store/CAS0315/Therm-a-Rest-Travel-Pillow-Case.html?CMP_ID=SH_FRO001&CMP_SKU=CAS0315&mv_pc=r126 it is designed to stuff you cloths...

So if you have baffles sewn to the inside layer at 4 " spacing, how much wider at each baffle should the outside layer fabric be. If I had 20-4" vertical baffles in a quilt approximately 7' long and...

These discussions about baffles always seem overly complicated for me. I not the brightest bulb on the tree but when we are talking about differential baffles aren't we just simply saying that there...

So my best bet is to get an uncoated 1.1 ripstop?

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to buy the fabric Momentum. I want to make another underquilt and I want it to be as light as possible

I have a Hennessy Hyperlight. I read how many people here buy bigger rainflys for their HH hammocks. Who has had a bad experience in the rain with their Hennessy rain fly? Is it really necessary...

"I did the same thing at the Mt. Rogers camp out. I wasn't going to tell anyone, but since you brought it up I will also admit to it. I used a 1 liter Pepsi bottle with the wide mouth. A...

I bought an HH Hyperlight. I weigh 210 and I am little concerned about the weight capacity. I want to change the rope with a stronger one that does not weigh anymore. Any suggestions?

I did create a differential between the two layers. I had just taken the quilt out of it's storage sack when I took that picture, the down hadn't settled down yet.

Yes I made both layers out of the same pattern but we increased the outside layer to be 2-1/2" bigger all the way around to create a differential that was equal to the size of the baffles.

Another reason to make an under quilt this way is that there is no extra wasted material. This quilt is made with 1.7 nylon and a mixture of 600 and 800 weight down. I am starting to make another...

That's the right idea but I have 11 darts in mine. We stared with an old sheet the approximate size we needed, then with someone lying in the hammock, preferably it's owner, rolled and tucked it...

Thanks men. looks pretty simple

Can anyone tell me how to tie that knot that Hennessy uses to attach the fly I love how that thing slides and stays tight.

I'll try and set it up and take some pictures in the next few days. It is filled with down and weighs 21ozs

I have had an HH hammock for about 5 years now. I do most of my backbacking in the Sierras and right away I needed insulation. I started by using pads but really didn't like those. Half the time...

Do you still have this hammock for sale?
