Cutting a Pad for a Hammock
zhlédnutí 2,2KPřed rokem
Yes, you can just drop a pad into a hammock, but normal camping hammocks are narrow and contribute to shoulder cold spots.

Caught in a Freak Storm on an S24O above Snow Canyon
zhlédnutí 783Před rokem
I love S24Os - or sub-24-hour overnight trips - because of my current schedule, getting out on a long weekend or week-long trip is not as easy; and S24O enables me to get out even in the middle of the week. But on this trip, the weather turned against me. What started as a perfectly beautiful afternoon transformed into a frightening thunderstorm. Is my hammock up to the task? No product sponsor...
Haven Tent XL 2023 Review
zhlédnutí 7KPřed rokem
Hey everyone! I finally got my review of the Haven Tent completed thank you Derek! This is a really cool and unique hammock that offers a really comfy head-to-foot and shoulder to shoulder flat lay that is more traditional for folks transitioning into hammock camping. Oooh, it's heavy, but if you're car camping or Moto camping, it's not a big deal. #hammock #camping #hammockcamping Visit my web...

Onewind Blackthorn Ultralight Tarp Tent Review
zhlédnutí 1,7KPřed rokem
Take a look at this _enormous_ tarp from Onewind this is a super shelter, mega tarp tent, just one feature less than a Hot Tent (but Onewind sells one of those too). Anyway, this tarp has a full zipper on the ends with 3 zipper pulls on each side so you can seal up, easy enter, and fit your hammock suspension through.

get you a real hammock crua hammock
Is this a slippery sheet bend?
My favorite is the loops in the middle of the skylite to attach the underquilt toggles
This was a great help! I did not realize that you still sleep on a diagonal with a bridge hammock. Thank you!
Ultimate Hang 2 is an incredible book of hammock wisdom. Every new hammocker should read it.
#2 is sleeping without back insulation
How hard is it to zip up the bug net? quite a few REI reviews complain about it.
I don't have any issues with mine and I've used my skylite for a year now , you just have to use common sense and not rush or force the zipper it's easy if you grab the material with one hand and than use the other to zip it. Eno sells a tube net too if you rather ykk zippers
Great review. I like you he’d written off ENO. You may have changed my mind. I’ll have to give them another look. Thanks for a great review.
Nice review
Do they have this in camo?
Paid promotion.
I used it Hiking the Appalachian trail Maine to Georgia,this hammock worked great for me,not heavy unless you are born lazy lol didn't flip over stayed off the ground, didn't have any issues with ripping like people seem to have aka operator error ,we highly recommend these .....there ya go I wasn't paid for my observation 😂😂 happy now ?
My Klymit insulated mummy pad was a game changer this winter while stargazing. It was so comfy I fell asleep and missed the meteor shower!
Thanks for this, I bought a second hand henessy hammock that was modified with continuous loops. After some research I decided to get whoopie slings for suspension, then thought I may have made a mistake because people complain about how much distance you need from trees. This works great as a back up if I can't find trees speaced far enough apart. Just use my tree huggers directly on the hammocks continuous loop. Its so simple it's genius.
I remember seeing Star butterfly sleeping between two cactuses on a hammock and was wondering if it was possible irl to see if I could do it someday lol
seems like it would be just as easy to learn the knots as it is to use this thing

Pellow
Is that the regular RCA or the XL?
I have always used a separate ridge line for my tarp. Its quick, easy, and stays very tight.
You can put a drip knot on the suspension. Basically just a small piece of cord, knotted onto the suspension, with one end hanging down to channel any water. I had the cheapest (supplied with the hammock) piece of what was like a giant shoelace for suspension for a season, and I got hit with 3 days of solid rain, and nothing got wet. Got a few days of rain with my whoopy slings too. Not perfect, but super helpfull
Why the lark's head around the carabiner, instead of just putting the carabiner through the loop?
Another thing worth mentioning is that upside down, you're sleeping on a waterproof fabric which yields a sweaty back. Since it's already heavy, it would be nice to add a pad sleeve made of a more breathable material. However, a 2QZQ underquilt protector for pad will do.
Plenty of junk on CZcams. Refreshing, and helpful, to have such clear information! 👍👍
I had no idea you had a youtube channel! Your book is incredible.
Can you flip it over, net on bottom, if you don't need/want the netting for a given outing?
No
@@beararms6945 This guy says yes czcams.com/video/MGKcxRWKc04/video.html&pp=ygUPc2t5bGl0ZSBoYW1tb2Nr
Hey buddy i just bought this Sunda 2.0 tent/hammock last year Aka 2023 at my birthday around 22 of September, sadly did i not get all parts i was missing the middel Red/smal V shaped tent pole, so i had to wait well atleast 14 days more since i Live in Denmark! and then they forgot to give me the full pole so an othere 14 days, so around 1 mounth later i had a complete sunda! and well since then the weather here has been rainy and well quite cold so i havent had the change to try it or test it. Was wondering did u solve the guy-out issue on yours after the review? also have you tried it ever since? like how is it with the rain and condensation in thent/hammock mode since its a 1 way tarp and not a dobble? if you have any tips or tricks pls let me know! so i would be able to have the best experiance in my sunda! Greatings from Denmark FWatze
What is the overall length of your continuous ridge line
Why didn’t u use the eno hang kit? How many pounds does the eye hook hold. Thank u 🙏
this is gonna move around and be a total nightmare
Using the loop alien in this method, is it easy to adjust the tarp left or right to center it over the hammock without having to disconnect it from either tree?
Soooooo. Its a camping hammock...in a cheap bag
This guy is smart. My kids colored all over his book when I wasn’t looking. Most of it is now unreadable. I still kept that F’n book! I want him to write more. About anything.
The only part of this hammock to break on me is the plastic clip tht hold the ridgeline taught its broken on two tht ive owned,, but tht won't stop me recommending this hammock
If I have a spreader bar hammock what "hang angle" would you recommend and what "preferred sit height"?
I use a body pillow, works for sleepover for my grand. Im trying to find something to cover 4 large squares on ends of legs. If you trip on one of these it's murder. I hv 2 hammocks one on balcony & one in my den. Stand is.made of hard wood. Want to.protect kids from tripping over them it's painful I know!
Thanks for posting. Would it be possible to bring a 50 lb dog in the Hammock with you. Just curious. I am not sure how to handle my dog on a Hammock trip. When tent camping he is in the tent with me.
Yes of course, but just like having a human hammock partner, you're both going to be "intimately" associated. There's not really two places to hang out, even if the floor plan is big, you'll be sagging together.
What a lovely video. I had completely discounted campsites south of Prescott due to the lack of trees, but you guys found some great spots!
Will it fit on a Mini Cooper S?
What under quilt do you recommend for this hammock???? I have a one for my traditional hammock but does not work with this hammock. What do you recommend.
I could use any of my under quilts for this hammock. From my experience. What quilt are you using? If you have a tapered or sewn quilt that may not work, but most traditional UQ that are "square" or flat and then those work fine.
I use a open end onewind underquilt on mine
Das ist seit Jahren meine absolute Lieblings Hängematte. Du hast aber gar keine Ahnung wie man diese benutzt, aufbaut. Über 2000 mal benutzt. Aufbauzeit 1 Minute.
Because of the way the suspension is designed one also needs a wider spacing between anchor points. This further reduces the number of viable hang options at the destination site. There are many places where a gathered-end hammock will fit that a bridge hammock will not fit. So the gains in perceived comfort for the bridge hammock wii be offset by the loss of location flexibility.
That's one of those shorts that would actually be kinda cool if it was made as an infinite loop :D
Oh hey... no knots... first thing we do is tie a knot... lmao.
I use DD rope cable-stayed knot loop and straps with buckle. Which material is better for this thin continuus loop?
For small stuff, the Zing-it or Lash-it works great.
You only need to do it right " once " with the Hennessy so that was totally wrong ! When thats done setup in less than a minute...every time ...without sagging. Kammock seems to take several minutes every time with those tent poles 😂
I was waiting for a sale to grab a WB ridgerunner. Now i dont know if i should get that or this ENO. Which one do u prefer?
Honestly, I like the simplicity of the ENO. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles (saddlebags), but the storage was fine for me.
too fiddly. not worth
I‘m using my amazonas ultralight mosquito traveler for lounging and camping. With a tarp from the brand and the underquilt poncho. Did read your book, thx for some good tips. Maybe try an amazonas ultralight some of your thoughts about it would be great to hear.
Yes, I used to have one of those! Great little hammock.
Great video thanks
try cable tight
