Hey all! I have a question about what to get for hammock padding. I have heard about under quilts, but, as English is not my first language, I don’t really know what I’m looking for when someone mentions it. I also heard about inflatable padding. Which one and which brand would be the best...

I have a ton of ideas all the time of how to get around gear problems I encounter, or to just generally improve my current system that I dont see anywhere else on the internet. I intend to write guides for all of these in the near future. Problem is, writing these big long posts obviously...

Would imagine many are familiar with the UL Shoestring Guide on r/Ultralight, and I wanted to share my experience with the Hammock Gear Economy Burrow 20. It's the old style with snap buttons to close the footbox and is standard length, width, and fill. Went with standard width and fill to keep...

Homemade Hammock at the “Woodsmoke” gathering in Tetonia, Idaho a few years back. I was sleeping off a drunk on night, and was “Birthed” from my Hennessey Expedition Hammock in the early AM. It was a pretty good tear; however I had been using this light weight hammock all over the world for...

I learned to camp this summer! The few of you that know me know I'm more of a shelter hopper. This year, I got job and staying in the shelter with a job wasn't a good option. The other clients have no respect for themselves or anyone else so I left and started sleeping outside. I met a guy and...

@Buffalo linked to this article that was pretty interesting, so i thought I'd repost it here for the rest of the community. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/13/nyregion/13trees.html?_r=1 In Central Park, Finding a Bed Among the Trees Cory and Dana Foht, 25-year-old twins from Florida, have...

I acquired the hammock and Eno Atlas straps today. It's comfortable but I'm curious how many of you have used this on the road? Could I get different straps to allow me to mount to structures like support beams, or will the straps I have grip fine? How do you feel about sleeping in it? I...

A friend of mine showed me as well as bunch of other people how to make a hammock. I have since taught a whole bunch of folx how to make one too, and now I figured I'll share the design here. I've been through two of these so far. I LOVE it! 1) get a chunk of fabric. About 5 to 6 feet wide...
