Thanks for the tips Don. I can’t even count how many times you saved the day at camp in Colorado.

Even though I converted my Hennessy hammock to be able to pitch it as a small tent, it's not optimal, because it wasn't designed for that. There may be a Haven XL in my future. Thanks for the Haven hacks. There's a chance that you've spent more time in a Haven than anyone.

I've been looking at a new hammock tent system, and stumbled upon the Haven tent. Watched a couple videos but this video sold me. I'm not backpacking it, it would live in my Jeep as my primary solo camping set up or for my two kids when we have the camper. I use my awning on the jeep as my over head raincover and set the hammock at the edge of the awning to provide an area to move around. Very similar to this set up. Good informative vid.

This looks like a great setup. I’ve used my Hennessy for the last few seasons but this looks to be a game changer. Thanks for the great content.

I cut a piece of reflectix into the shape of my pad in the haven, and put it under the pad. Helps significantly with the warmth, and also adds some structure.

Reflectix from Home Depot can be put under the air mattress

Cannot wait to get in my haven this year. Planning to pack the bike up in the next month as soon as the temperature breaks. Luckily the whole setup fits under the seat of my Majesty.

Use a traditional sleeping bag quilt( aka square). Sew in button fasteners to quilt and hammock. Pop on buttons for installing

hack 2 with the bungie for the corner, im going to have to try. Using a onewind 12ft tarp, and a onewind underquilt that i use for the exact same keep the arms/shoulders warm

I have the XL and like it my only problem is the sleeping pad loosening air. If I fill the pad with air just befor getting in in the. Middle of the night will need to top off again. On my second pad . Would you know of any other pads to fit? If I can not this resolved I will have to it others maybe an Amok 5.0

Your Haven reviews are what helped me decide to pull the trigger. I am not new to canoe-hammock camping. My question to you is the "pad". Are you having to make "air adjustments in the middle of the night when temp drops. My pad "V"s out and becomes uncomfortable enough to wake me up....I did make an under-pad out of "reflectix" and that seemed to help a bunch with the mattress heat lost but not perfect. Any suggestions from what you might have experienced would be great appreciated! Happy Trails!

Don, I was planning on getting the Haven XL and not the Safari. I though the Safari was overkill and too big to pack on my Goldwing. I am reconsidering after watching your video. Would you recommend the Safari over the XL, all things considered?

[NorthWestMotos]

How big of a difference in size is the warbonnet tarps when packed down? I'm looking at the Superfly but am unsure if I should get a 11' or 13' and how small they pack down might help me decide. If it's not a huge difference I may go with the bigger one.

Hi, Don . I'm thinking about going to a hammock sleep system because I don't like sleeping on the ground either . But I would feel more comfortable sleeping higher up in the air than you do . My question to you is aren't you afraid a bear or a pretty girl might climb in with you while hanging so low ? Where I'm at in Florida my worry is a gator or a girl that looks like a gator might slip in with me if I'm not up in the air enough . Can you set me straight and help me overcome my fear of hanging too low ? Thanks, your a pal !

[mastabas]

Do you ever use the Haven whoopie slings? I'm a big guy too and I found they didn't hold my weight. I think they only have two inches of space when they run inside themselves so I've been forced to use only the straps. I tried warbonnet straps but you can tighten the buckles too much which makes it impossible to take apart without a tool... I almost had to cut them!

[mediocreman]

The Shock cords are a good idea. I really do wish they had a big ground sheet that could double as a hanging storage shelf and a footprint for when it is in tent mode. I have been Moto-Camping a lot with the safari with a motorcycle camp group. This year I got the onewind Premium 12ft Hammock Rain Fly from Amazon so that I can change because there are some women who motorcamp and I don't want to scare them when I come out of the haven all nude. Ha ha

If I was still just on the bike with no trailer, I could be sold on hammock camping.

[zachmarshall]

I feel like the best hack would have been to block the wind with the upper tarp and enjoy the othe view
