Cutting a Pad for a Hammock

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
Просмотров 782Год назад
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
Просмотров 6 тыс.Год назад
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
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.Год назад
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.

      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

    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.

    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

  • @wisenber
    @wisenber 5 месяцев назад

    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.

    • @DerekHansen
      @DerekHansen 9 месяцев назад

      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.

      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.

  • @PhilCherry3
    @PhilCherry3 11 месяцев назад

    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.
