Haven XL HACKS/How to make it better! 

Thanks, yes indeed

Thats a great way to do it. I did try little bungees but didnt work very well. I like your idea

Awesome, I hope it serves you well. If you have any questions feel free to ask

Thanks Mr. Hemlock, your videos are getting better and better. Glad to see your channel is growing.

@@LifeWithKernelLee thank you !!

Thank you, its great for solo trips

I love the idea too. I usually sleep in my horse float at events in a swag after shovelling the poo out. I know that sounds gross but horses are vegetarian. I like the idea of hanging the hammock. How long is the hammock? Just wondering if it’ll fit.

@@robynwhite5662 mine double nest Eno is 9 1/2’ long, not sure about the Kernels

Thank you

Yeah I’ve heard mixed opinions. I sleep in it better once I added the strap underneath.

Really? I bought mine in April. Didn't get a chance to use it until June. I've used it with some stands i made to go under my truck tires, and for a week in the Minnesota Boundary Waters hanging in trees. Anywhere from 85 degrees to 26 degrees. I havent had a bad nights sleep yet. I use the air pump to fill the pad and then always top it off myself. To stop the crease in the pad i just make sure it is fully inflated. Only time I have noticed it was the first tim when i only used the air pump, and this last weekend when it dropped froms mid 60's down to 26 degress overnight. I also make my ridgeline very taught. I use the original straps and whoopie slings pulled tight to tension the ridgeline.

Awesome, im still toying with mine to try and make it better. Still a great setup though

@@LifeWithKernelLee I whould sent some pics of that system, but here I can't do it. Maybe it would help you somehow.

Yes, they are working well for me

Heck yeah

I haven’t heard of Superior Gear, I’ll have to check them out. Awesome, hope it works for you. Thanks for watching.

I also have the superior gear Starlite with straps and buckles. Will be using them as well on my Safari as they work very well. Either that or the becket hitch

@@27filster nice

Two straps would be better. My air pad has leaked from day one. I havent had any issues with the zipper they just need to make it a double zipper.

Howdy Jim, I appreciate you dropping by, I try to share some different points with this set up. The reflectixs does make a huge difference and the cot set up is good for when no trees are available. Makes it easier getting in and out.

Thanks

Of course, whatever gets it off the ground

Thanks for watching brother

If i could sew I would

Nice, and yes I agree very pricey ,

Awesome, im just north of Fort Worth

Do you know if there any hammock camping gatherings in North Texas?

@@The5150owl Texas Hang, its usually Oct-Nov sometime

OK thanks. I actually looked it up online I just signed up for hammock forum

@@The5150owl awesome

Yes, Cal from Cals Adventures had his wife sew in 3 loops that the strap go through to keep it centered. I need to get mine done.

I was wondering if sewing into would ruin the integrity of the tent since I’m a bigger guy but that was my thought. Has that been successful?

@@docpursel8669 he has had no problem with it so far

Nice, great idea

Wow, super cheap at $215 per pole.

@@rtoole83 The Tensa Solo stands are 75 bucks each.

Man I hear ya, Im ready for cooler weather. Just subscribed to you👍🏻

Just pull the two straps near the buckle together and buckle loosens. It doesnt take much

Thanks. I pulled it littlebit too tight so it was hard to get it loose. Now i know i shouldn’t pull them that tight! Thanks!

@@sienitohtori yeah i usually leave a little slack

Those work good

I brought up the v crease issue to them but dont hold your breath on production mods. Possibly a different air pad in the future. As far as the Mondo King, its the most comfortable pad Ive ever been on. Did you see my vid on it?Haven XL air pad Upgrade/Thermarest Mondoking 3D XXL ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KfAnxa58TeA.html It doesn’t v crease near as bad and with the strap its non existent.

Thought about it, but have to learn to sew. I may try it when i get up the nerve.

Ha, you can always use more hammocks, i have a dozen or so

Oh yeah

Where you been?

Did you try the under strap? Works for me. Its not intended to raise or lower necessarily, its to get rid of the V crease down the center

👍🏻

👍🏻

Sometimes you don't have trees to set up a hammock, and poles aren't strong enough to hold the weight. Cot makes a good compromise.

Indeed

Well sorry, never seen your channel before

Which two hacks?

I checked your channel, i see you did a video about onewind straps you did 5 months ago. My video was 8 months ago. So maybe I find it interesting that you did the exact same hack as my video. What a coincidence.

@@LifeWithKernelLee yeah, I already mentioned that in my above comment, my videos were 5 months ago but two separate videos and one was a short and one was a long form so I had those two ideas a two separate times. The reflectix i came up with because I used to be involved in van life. The new tree straps were similar to my AMOK hammock which is why I went with those.

@@the_original_bluegrassmoto you should never accuse another channel of stealing your ideas. It is possible many people have the same ideas. I dont appreciate your insinuations. I have never seen your channel before but does look like an interesting channel with content that I like. But you should never talk smack about another channel. Good day sir

Ok
