I have a Vaude Ferret and it's excellent. It's a snap to put up and shrugs off even ther most filthy weather. It it's lovely weather then the ventilation is great too, and you can roll up a big side door so you can get the fridge and a coupla chairs & tables in too without having to carry them...

Welcome aboard. You're in good company. Kit makes me drool.

I'm with you on that one, Fred.

That looks like a Hex 2 - the Hex 3 is in Sage which is a much darker colour...

Thanks for getting back to me, LS. It's a good question & I'm glad you asked it. The answer is, in a word, "stuff'. Generally less heavy but more bulky items of kit which I don't want to have to rummage around for, such as waterproofs, snacks - prob my Hex 3 shelter too I guess. From that...

Hi All, I have a most excellent Osprey Aether 60L pack which has seen me through many miles. I would, however, like to increase its capacity by adding a PLCE-style pouch to the exterior, probably using the pack's compression straps to hold it all on the pack. I had something like this in...

"The Hex is too small for an internal fire, too dangerous because of the Silite material. " Fair enough point Rik, but I use a Sierra Zip Stove to heat mine and it works a treat - once the smoke has burned off! >cough!< Also, you can move the floor on the Hex so the stove is not on top...

Spamel you're a genius. Thank you so much for posting this - i've been having exactly the same problem: I have a Hex 3 (also from Harpers Ferry) and the floor, but thought the nest just too heavy - and expensive. How much does the net weigh? Oh hell, whatever - I'll get down to Ikea asap and...

This case is about as watertight as O.J. Simpson's... I have one - and it let me down badly on the waterproofing side of things while on a swimming - sorry hiking - trip in Scotland in May this year. The look "da bizniss", but wet-weather performance leaves a LOT to be desired. The problem is...

>stands up< Hi. My name is Tom and I'm a... oh wow look at that tarp: gotta have it - is that undercover going to fit my Hennessy? Cool. Ooooh that stove's 15gm lighter than my old one. >sits down. Hugs knees. Waits for delivery of kit just ordered<

Likewise I'm partial to the odd noggin on the trail - as is my gal. Whisky is carried in an aluminium Sigg-style bottle, and Wine is carried in a platypus: Platypus is a good way of carrying wine, as you can force all the air out which stops the wine going off. Whisky, wine and a fire - what...

Hi all, I used to have the cold back/butt syndrome with my Hennessy Hammock Expedition A-sym, but since I got an undercover for it (available from the HH site) that's not been a problem. My girlfriend can also add a thermal blanket to the underside of hers, which combined with the Undercover...

I sleep in a Hennessy Hammock (Explorer Deluxe) and love it. The only problem is that my underside gets cold: I'm awaiting the arrival of their patented undercover which should warm things up nicely. Can't fault construction, weight, ease of use - and most importantly comfort - at all. Their...

Oh man that slug is minging. Worst grub I ever had some pasta with bits of pork pie crumbled into it and tomato ketchup to deaden the taste. Never again.
