2018-10-16T01:13:31+00:00

Finally the OneTigris DOUBLE hammock underquilt arrived. With the cold season knocking at the door I was eager to get out and test the under quilt on my Hennessy hammock before the snow flies. Getting things dialed in before snow camping is always a good idea. This is the second

2018-09-27T02:25:13+00:00

Clearly I enjoy punishing myself. A great way to do this is to take a mountain bicycle for a walk up a mountain... you could take your dog but riding your dog downhill may not be as fun.

2018-09-27T01:09:59+00:00

For years I have considered purchasing an underquilt for my Hennessy hammock expeditions. Unfortunately good cold weather underquilts just seemed so ridiculously priced. I've been using my trusty lightweight Thermarest sleeping pad in my Hennessy for several years now and have been quite satisfied. Recently I stumbled upon the OneTigris

2018-09-27T01:50:27+00:00

Nothing beats a good brisk charge up a snowy mountain with a crap load of gear on your back… who says an over-nighter can’t be a challenge! With this philosophy in mind I decided to investigate some of the surrounding mountains near my off grid property. To make it a

Mountain and Snow camping in the Hennessy Hammock

2018-09-27T01:52:46+00:00

I threw together a quick overnight trip up in to the Olympic Mountains. With me I had my trusty Hennessy Ultralite Explorer Asym zip hammock. Unfortunately after a late start, knee high snow on a 45 degree slope and no snow shoes I was not able to make the designated
