Re: [RBW] Anyone hear ever use a camping hammock?
I use a Hennessy for camping. The link below has an image it set up with the larger 'hex' fly. I've found that, at least here in Hawaii, the larger fly isn't really necessary so I use the regular one for the most part. The weight isn't that important to me but the smaller one packs up smaller as it all fits in the 'snake skin.' Because it's generally so warm here I use a one of those cheap fleece bags which roll up about the size of a football. The only complaint I have is that sometimes I used to wake up with a cold back because there isn't much between you and the air. I've taken to carrying one of those small silvery windshield shades to use as a pad. They weigh next to nothing and make a great insulator. Since I discovered that trick I've been quite happy. Indeed just writing about this makes me want to take off for the weekend. :-) I won't be able to this weekend though because on Sunday I'll be in the Honolulu Century Ride on my Quickbeam. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mgps-bob/4304294797/ Aloha!

I've been considering a Clark Jungle Hammock or the Hennessy Hammock and would like to hear about actual experience with them. I've used the Hennessy for the last 3 or 4 years. I like it for warm/hot camping. You can get an expensive quilted underblanket for it, but without it, I don't like using it when it's in the 40's or below, as a pad likes to slide around. So I'll bring the Hennessy for warm summer night camping. Alex Wetmore has refined the hammock set up to about 4 minutes. He keeps it in a tube with the under quilt attached. He also improved upon the knot/hanging solution. The only time I can beat him in the shelter set up is when I am using a bivvy, which is my favorite cold (under 45f or so) weather solution. His hanging solution is doc'd here: http://alexwetmore.org/?p=610 -- John Speare Spokane, WA USA http://cyclingspokane.blogspot.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I believe that Kent Peterson has written about hammocks, as well as others who have written on the iBob list. I'd check the iBob archives and search on Kent's blog as well. http://kentsbike.blogspot.com/ - J -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes You must be the change you want to see in the world.
