I just pre-ordered the Haven XL. From the outside looking in: I would consider this a Bridge style Hammock with respect to the flat lay the hammock provided while loaded, achieved by the combination of the way the material is cut and the spreader bars. I think the closest comparable hammock was the Maverick which Derek Hansen review in 2014. The Haven seems to use the mattress to assist with the flat-lay, the Maverick used fiberglass “ribs” connected to a frame underneath the hammock. The tarp is pretty minimal for coverage, but I'm looking forward to trying this system in the winter to see how the tarp toggled down on the sides performs as a winter barrier/micro climate of sorts. Thanks for the great review Shug.

I have a Haven Hammock / Tent, its fantastic, the set up and take down is very simple and quick, I get a great nights sleep in it and its so stable I can get dressed in there. Durability is the key quality of this set up, everything is made with longevity in mind, if your serious about staying a number of nights in the woods then I think its the best shelter on the market. Shug has done a great review, he's obviously a seasoned wilderness / hammocks guy, don't believe the other KZfaqrs out there who mislead on how good this set up really is with their own personal ' design solutions'.

Hello SHUG! I have enjoyed your shenanigans for a while now . always makes me smile.and yes informative at the same time! I heard you say that your pop tarts are being discontinued... I found some on amazon they indicate that these will be available in august. the package says "gone nuts" .was not sure if you saw this that they may be available? i have ordered a couple of boxes of them if you what to try them i will send you a box??? i also like the Cars vs motorcycle analogy. i ride my motorcycle to camp and Hammock too! . very fitting comment. Ha!

Waiting for the time Shug becomes a consultant on the best design for camping gear . & he can actually test the materials out . it seems like that is happening anyway . maybe that could / would compensate for more physical enertaining that can not be maintained for ever . just saying .of course everyone is different ! Shug I understand you are very entertaining naturally . .add to that your years of experience & knowledge . its all good !

hmm, lotsa hammock stuffs on this page. Only one I've ever slept in was one of those double wide net rope type with spreader bars each end. (yeah, took the Jeep) I can't remain comfy sleeping as a banana. So I pulled the hammock tight/flat as can be, loaded it up(old heavy sleep bag/5° job), lay'd on for a tad and re-tightened to flat again..simple square knot. (-: It was quite comfy..a pad would have been nicer. ~ Couple times I set up two as bunk beds same trees...whoa, this is kinda high... ..yeah, we normally have beers.~ Getting up in there was dicey. "I'm not going to want to get up/out and back middle of night to tinkle". I put a sealable coffee can in the bottom of my sleep bag and it worked great. Just don't dump it on the missus below. ;-) blah blah~ have a great November silly rabbit.

If I could pull that out of my car/truck/suv, it would be awsome. For me as a old man (60ish) if my 4 day kit (excluding water) is over 14 lbs.....NO! I love being surrounded by feathers floating in the air. Like sleeping on a cloud. Though, if I didn't have to hike over 10 a day. I'd give that a shot in a PA winter!

I did a review on the Haven tent a few months ago. I felt it was a bit too narrow for me to be comfortable. I must have gotten one of the older tarps too, because it was leaking at the toggle points. Like you though, I really like the concept. Derek mentioned they were working on a wider model, and they were very good about their return policy. If they do come out with a wider model, I would be very interested. Although, I'm sure the weight and bulk will be too much for any long hikes.
@shugemery4 жыл бұрын
It is heavy but the ground pitch alternative is a positive for times you might need too. At least it is something different and Derek has stood by it very well. Must be very tough to bring out a new product. Hammockers seem to be very very picky so I try to keep an open mind.
@RichADio4 жыл бұрын
@@shugemery agreed. Thats why I'm looking forward to the wider model. I hope it doesn't take too long to get to market. I'd even be happy to beta test it for them. 😆

That is its strength. A bit heavy but no more than some other sleep systems. I just got back from a 2 night trip with it in BWCA. I slept 12 hours in it the first night. Was fun.

Maybe, to tighten the tarp, you could use some paracord attached to that loop at the end of the tarp and tie it tight to the tree?

Great to see you back! Missed ya. The quality seems real nice but with the tarp in place, it appeared to similar to a coffin. Not sure if it would be too good for people with slight claustrophobia. Interested in your field test of it. Thanks Shug!
