tandre,

Total drag.

I would imagine Aqua Seal would work just fine. Just a slight dab across the punctures, will lay down a thin layer of sealant. Works perfectly to to fix punctures in...

Gondo,

Welcome. If you end up digging hammock sleep and you get yourself a Tensa 4 and if you still want a hot tent, there are makers on this site, who can make you a canvas, hammock, hot tent....

Work,

Keep some chocolate or cheese available. When you get up to go potty, take a few bites. Those extra calories will help you stay warm in the coldest morning hours.

FWIW, I used a CCF pad...

Im with DrPhun. My HG Incubator UQ conforms with my lay, keeping my feet covered.

Thanks Crazy,

I pretty much got this for the Desert and for floating the Deschutes. Jumipers and sagebrush dont provide a lot of good hanging opportunities.

Happy Easter all.

Bob

Greetings,

Today for the first time, I set up my Tensa 4 and my Tensa 4 Tarp Extenders. One word.... WOW ! Incredibly well made, hammocking tool. I cant say enough good things.

Thanks to...

MM,

Really good idea on the mod u did with the Prusik knot and S Biner.

MM if it were me Id start from scratch. Loosen all suspension systems. Disconnect from the S Biner. In a perfect...

Dublin,

I like that idea. What about just painting them?

Bob

Tomin,

Thanks for the input. I think what saved me is that the Thermarest Ridgerest Pad had deep dimples. I think the dimples are designed to allow less surface area to come into contact with...

Nice work.

I went the easy route and just bought the Tensa Outdoors stand. Was gonna assemble it this week but weve had hellacious wind and stormy weather.

Cougar,

I was thinking that was the issue. Thanks for the input. Luckily my UQ has never been wet as a result of the condensation buildup, when I use the Cocoon cover.

bigben heres the link:...

MM,

Yur UQ looks to be cinched too tight and/or not centered.

If you can do so, get an underquilt protector. This encases the underquilt and helps cut down on drafts. It also helps to make a...

bigben,

Welcome.

My first year of hammocking, I used the widest ccf pad Thermarest made. It was and stillis a great piece of gear. I then used a Teton Zero Degree Rectangular Sleeping bag...

Latherdome,

Thank you. Thought that is what needed to be done but was leery.

Thanks all.

Tpatter,

Thanks for responding. Ive watched this video I dont know how many times the last three years.

Ive got the newest version I think of the Tensa. It is all webbing now so its...

Sorry another question:

I am a about to set up my stand for the first time. Just got it last week.

In step 6 on page 3 of the manual, it says: " Attach the black end of a guyline to the...

Thanks for the reply raftingtigger.

Everyone have a good weekend.

Thanks for the input Billy Bob.

Hopefully Tensa will chime in.

Hey all,

Just go my Tensa 4 this week. Stoked to give it a go. However I have a question, regarding the 4 legs/poles, is there a top and/or bottom for each pole during set up? It looks like it...

Chris,

Welcome.

Give HG a call or email. They are good people with excellent customer service. They will line you out.

Bob

Outandback,

That is a classic picture.

I recognize some of that gear.

Nicely done.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the quick reply Shug.

Hey Shug,

Thanks for the video.

Who makes those wool pants of yours? Im in the market for a new pair. My 30 plus year old standbys dont fit me anymore due to me getting fatter over the years....

Boston,

Im going to go with the Tensa 4.

The Catchall sack will do just fine i imagine.

Hey Boston,

Congrats on your hammock stand. I am in the market for a stand, but I am 99 percent sure, I am going to get the Tensa 4. My primary use will be for car camping and Driftboat...

If you cant figure it out with the hammocks you have, maybe you could buy or borrow a Bridge Hammock and give it a go.

Best wishes.

Bob

Hikergirl,

Ill piggyback on everything Cougar said. If in the woods, 0 degrees is not a temp, to be "testing" your system out. If it were me, I would make sure I had an "easy out exit plan"...

I am so sorry to hear of this. She was always a pleasure to talk or email with.

Prayers for all of the family and her friends.

Bob

Silver,

Maybe join a local hiking group. You can watch for local hangs also. Make friends and trade for rides i.e. ride = you buying and making all the food and/or adult beverages.

Be frugal,...

Hey Flat,

Welcome.

Bob

Thanks Shug for the quote tutorial refresh.

88 and still having such fun. What a role model.

Happy 2022.

Bob

Thanks for the info One Click.

Stay healthy all.

One Click.

Thanks for the info.

Re: the materials, are going to use an industrial sewing machine to put it together?

OneClick,

Really, really nice setup. That stove is genius.

Did you make the hammock tent or buy it? If bought where'd you get it. Thank you in advance.

Happy New Year.

Bob

Hang,

Spring runoff out here, is a thing that needs to be addressed. However, it is too early to tell how it will affect your trip for next summer. All depends of course on snow levels and then...

Tomy,

Merry Christmas.

You can do what I do. Ive got a glorious Hammock Gear "Journey" Tarp ( USA Made version ). It is excellent. However, whilst backpacking or car camping, half the time,...

Prayer sent.

Thanks for this thread. I am getting one soon. Cant wait to use it car camping and boat camping.

Nice work.

If you tip over is the table top attached to something to keep it from sinking? If not maybe tie it off to a drybag. They float pretty well itll give you a chance at recovery.

Again...

Harry,

Thank you for all the help you've given me over the last few years. You and Hammock Gear have all my respect and gratitude.

Good luck in your new endeavor.

Bob

Morning,

We allknow what a great site this is. We also know what great moderators/tech support people we have keeping the site working.

I want to openly thank Richard Towle. For whatever...

Cant beat that at all.

Thanks again everyone. I plan on using this for the nearby desert and also on Driftboat float trips, on the Deschutes and John Day Rivers, both of which have limited trees and those trees are mostly...

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Okay I have a question for you all. I want to get this Tensa 4 stand when it is available again. I have an 11 foot Raven. Its a gathered end. If I set up the Tensa 4 correctly, is there enough...

cm,

If I had a table nearby i would have done the same.

Have a good week all.

Bob

Cougarmeat.

Lets be honest. At my age any good nites sleep helps:shades:

Be safe all.

Bob

chef4,

I have a thermarest ridgerunner ccf pad. Used it a lot when I started into this hammock world. This is a great piece of gear. However like others have said, stick with an underquilt...
