Howdy from Tennessee! I'm still new to Hanging myself, but if you can't get help here you probably won't find it anywhere.

Nice to see more Autralians joining the forum:
Welcome from sunny Florida!
G'day all,
Thank you for all your welcomes.
Hope you gurus might be able to help me with a thought I have had (rare though they be).
I was thinking about using some Tyvek as a type of in-hammock UQ and getting my poor,long suffering wife to sandwich it between polar fleece. That way it would pack up small, would fit inside my HH rather than outside and I could use it as a ground sheet if required.
My thinking is that the reflective qualities would keep me warm, the polar fleece would stop it sliding around and the Tyvek would stop any drafts.
I could possibly even convince my dear wife to put some velcro in place so it wouldn't slip too much.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers

I switched from the standard HH suspension because I didn't want to fiddle with tieing and untieing the ropes to get the height just right. I use the Whoopies and a pair of UL bieners with Tree straps to be LNT.
Welcome from Tennessee! I have always wanted to visit Aussie land.

Gday from WA.
We are getting a few more of us Sandgropers on HF now, so that WestOz hang/meet is looking better all the time!
I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.
Bloffy, I have a Hennessy and briefly tried the ring cinch set up and switch over to Whoopie slings. As a suggestion check out Professor Hammocks videos and some of Dutch's equipment to make your set up and take down easier. Also i would be derelict not to mention Shug's excellent hammocking videos. All the above can be found either here on this forum or on YouTube. Check out the videos and I believe you will find all you need for easy, breezy hammocking.
Be well from a Yank
Hey bloffy13! You might also want to address your questions to the DIY-crowd in the DIY-section.
Thanks all for your advice. I have bitten the bullet and ordered the cinch buckle kit from AHE and it should be underway as we speak. Looking forward to that. With regards to the diy advice, I'll do that, thanks Trinni.
To Browny, good to hear there are other Westg Aussies on here. Hangin' out to meet ya.
Cheers
Bloffy
