Such a solid look! Thanks for sharing 😄
Thank you! Such a cool product!!
I actually got into hammocking because of you but found out just how much of a stomach sleeper and tosser and turner I really was. I was bummed because I just couldn't sleep well in a hammock, then I found the Haven system. I've got a regular and an XL now and have never looked back. I've had them out in very bad storms with high winds and didn't get wet at all. It just does everything great and I sleep so well in it. Best sleep system out there In my opinion.
PS you can also go to the ground with the Haven system if need be. I've used canoe paddles as up-rights and some cordage ( or two of the guy lines) going from the carebiners up around the top of the paddle with a lark's head knot then staked down to the ground. It only has to be taught enough to hold the tarp and bug net off you. Great system.
Right on David!!
Thanks so much for your share David ✌️- Derek
Nice. I have a friend looking at one of these now and doing a bit of research when I saw you put up a video about it. Thanks, Pete! I hope you are all doing well down there and I hope P5 enjoys his new Haven! 😆
They are pretty darn comfy!
Amazing hammock. I also love that if you do end up somewhere that doesn't allow hammocks, you just need a sturdy stick on either end and tie the lines to it, and it doubles as a tent. I went with the heavier newer Safari. Yes it is heavier, but it's much sturdier. I figured it would last longer over the long run. I camp on a motorcycle. Even with the Haven being slightly bigger and heavier, I still end up carrying less overall. My ground air mattress always deflates or is unlevel anyway.
Right on rclines001!
I'm with you , hammock camping is the way to go. I've been going that way since the late 60's. Here in Florida a tent is a sweat lodge and ground dwelling can get wet. When the ones came out you can sleep diagonally in I have been doing that since then. Been thinking of really flat sleeping but haven't pulled the plug. To many different ones out there called Bridge Hammocks. My biggest complaint is what appears to be the lack of visibility , I like to see whats around me. I also want all of the ventilation that's possible and then more. In this semi tropical heat and humidity ventilation is desired and the 360 degrees a hammock offers is nice.
Right on Chuck!!
Great review, Pete! I've been thinking about a lay-flat hammock and this was really helpful! Thanks, brother!! 👍👊
Thanks Dan!
😂😂you have the best attitude/vibe thank you for that
Thanks Niko!!!
Very well designed. Good value when you consider the cost of a decent tent.
Indeed macfawlty!
Nice review sir, good option for the crazys that don't like a hammock
Thanks R Lutz!!
Have liked these ever since e I first saw them. May even pull the trigger one day and buy one. Good review Pete.
They are pretty cool Justin! Looked like a fabulous family vacation you had!
We're still on our vacation. Doing some island hopping and four wheeling on the beach tomorrow
Saw a decal on a car this morning for this channel in Eastern NC, and thought I would check it out.
I was driving to Atlantic Beach that day! Blue 4runner with kayak racks?
@@RiverKingsKayak Yep. Was going to call out the personal license plate but thought that was too much info.
I can’t sleep on my back at all so this would probably help me sleep on my belly or side
I think so.
I might have to try it, looks like a nice way to hang though I am really liking my Hennessey ... by the way, ive been out using those war bonnet straps you sent me the link to. Love them! they make set up infinitely better and quicker than all other straps ive used
Perfect! The straps are so much better!
That is a lovley room of death, take care now, bye bye then! Ace Ventura. Awesome video!
Thanks phrixos!
@@RiverKingsKayak seriously though, I am going to buy one of those hammocks, would you or, have you done a review of the Snugpak Ionosphere bivi tent/bag? i wish to buy one and they are only £59 atmo
The electric pump looks like it aired the mattress up fast BUT can it deflate it all so ? If not how easy is it to deflate back to easy packing? Great video!
You pull that tab out and it deflates pretty fast!
@@RiverKingsKayak thank you!
How wide is the pad? Im digging the idea of this paired with my Zenbivy.
Right on! its about 30"
I’m a side sleeper. Is it good for side sleeping?
I'm a side sleeper as well and have used my Haven tent about a dozen times. Side sleeping is absolutely an option in this thing, it works great. Your shoulder pushing down in the middle does tend to kinda fold it up a bit around you of course, but it's not excessive and still way comfortable enough.
Hey Pete check out amok hammock it's the best sleep flat.
Lawson Blue ridge is amazing as well! I have 2 havens and 3 Lawsons and love them both.
My buddy Tracy has one, I need to review it!
I could have used this a handful of times on my last 10 day camping trip. I was driving all over California riding mtn bikes at bike parks.
A few of the spots we camped had absolutely no flat spots for my tent and my daughter's tent. The couple spots that had tons of flat space also had thousands of fire ants everywhere, literally hundreds of ant hills everywhere you looked. We had to shake the tents off real good before packing up in the morning.
We have a lot of free dispersed camping here in California on BLM land and National Forest land so we don't ever stay at campgrounds with perfect campsites.
I've wanted to try a hammock, but I'm a side sleeper. I'm not sure how well that would work out.
Side sleeper here! I've slept in my Haven tent about a dozen times in the past year, it absolutely works for side sleeping.
@@Frozty yeah I'm sure it works about the same as a normal tent. They look pretty comfortable.
I'm more curious about a hammock setup. I go lay in my hammock on my back amd take a nap for a couple hours, but I'm not sure how it would be to sleep a full night in one.
Just like my car, I can take a nap in the driver seat, but anything longer than a few hours and it's not gonna work.
Right on Vegas!! Give it a go!
This is kinda sick. I love my hammocks but I might give this a try as my “glamping” hammock so I can possibly take my dog with me
Right on Fives!
In every way? Better bring both if your on the American prairie!
He didn't talk about it which was surprising, BUT the Haven system can be pitched on the ground as a tent too! They have videos on it and I've done it in my regular Haven. Just need a couple sticks or hiking poles or paddles to use for support to hold the tarp and bug net off your head.
he he he!
Cool tent but it costs more than my whole camping kit.
LOL!! Unfortunately, that is often the case with the better gear!
ground campers, aka mouth breathers ;)
LOL!!!
winter ? -40 goodluck lol
he he! you have to get creative to stay warm in those temps...I usually have a tarp shelter around the whole hammock...like a hammock in a tent.
