Homemade Nimblewill style stove of 26 gauge steel. I sized it down a tiny bit from the online templates (www.thru-hiker.com lewill_stove.php) so that it can better fit a Snow Peak 700. It worked on its first use, but not as well as it might have. I think it was the lack of draft at the bottom. I may make a new bottom with holes and see how that works. Notice too the high quality 9-year-old’s cinematography. Notice as well my Mora Bushcraft Triflex in a cameo role as The Firestarter. I should add that the whole thing including the little tyvek envelope I made for it comes in at just under 3oz (that is less than a Nalgene bottle). It is a bit rickity, but it held up a full Snow Peak 1400 with no problems.
Quick review of my first use with the Hennessy Hammock while canoeing & camping in the Floodwood Loop area of the Adirondaks this past Labor Day weekend. This video was uploaded from an Android phone.
We walked the six foot track from the explorers tree in Katoomba to Jenolan caves between the 19th and 21st of March 2010. Great weather, a little hot on day 2 about 30c. Night time got down to about 12c. Slept in my Claytor Jungle Hammock both nights. Great sleep! Took the trolly tours bus home. Great walk, Day 2 was hard, especially in the heat. Water tanks were pretty full at all camp sites. Cox’s river is pretty shallow but good for a swim. Wildwalks has a great information sheet on the walk. Music: Incubus – Wish you were here
This short video demonstrates how easy it is to set up a double parachute travel hammock, including how to fix the hooks to the fixing rope which has been attached to trees. To buy a travel hammock; go to www.paradisehammocks.co.uk.
