Love the setup. I live in Florida and you often have a wet ground and lots of crawlers. Being up is great and this looks comfortable. Thank you Dave!

Got my Haven July of 2023 and have slept in it a few dozen times now. Love everything about it; my version is a little older and the net is attached somewhat differently. I like what I'm seeing on yours better, so they have continued to improve!

If anyone is going to get one, get the XL, the added weight is negligible and the few extra inches of width would be super appreciated.

I bought a hammock/tent last year..theyre awesome. I'm going on a 4 day canoe trip tomorrow on the oswegatchie River in Upstate New york, I'm definitely taking it with me. It's not the haven hammock, but still. Mine weighs 4 lbs, not too bad

Thank you for reviewing this hammock. I’ve got an Amok hammock that I’ve used for a few years. It has many of the same features as this hammock and it uses an air mattress too. It can also be used as a chair for a similar weight but it packs down much smaller. I can also use my Amok in a hammock hot tent.

Great review. You can pull the whole hammock and tarp into a snakeskin, which helps settling it quickly and in bad weather. Also helps when stuffing it into a dry bag or rucksack.The original inflatable air mattress was the bit that let's it down. But the new one is much better.

Got one of these about 2 years ago. They’re great, except for the air mattress. The air valve on mine was a different style. It was horrible, but I might try the new one you seem to have been sent. Great video! Thanks for all the hard work and keep it up!

This is awesome, i reached out to haven tents a few years ago and suggested they contact dave to review. The haven is very multi purpose compared to otehr tarp and hammock systems, and lighter as well, it can be a ground tent with walking poles easily and fits nicely on hammock towhitch stands....

[robeyler]

Huh... Very interesting. I appreciate the closer look from someone I trust. I have seen these and never gave them a thought, now I'm intrigued!
Thanks Dave!

I have two of the XLs. I'm still prefering a bunched end hammock, but my wife refuses to sleep in anything other than her Haven. The new TruLevel pad seems to have taken care of the previous "taco" issue. Last time I had it out, it stayed inflated for a week without topping off the air.
As far as straps go, I've done the stock straps, whoopies, OneWind cinch buckles and finally tried the Superior Gear suspension straps. Superior Gear for the win. Its so much easier dialing in the tension with the Superior straps.
I still put up a bigger tarp, mostly because we set up two hammocks together, but also because the fly doesnt give much coverage in tarp mode. It's great for single shelter, just not so much for outside living in rainy weather.
Next mods will be tent poles across the top to hold open the fly and cinched down with shock cord. After that will be reflectix under the pad and at the head and foot end.
Overall, its a great hammock and ground bivy system that pairs very well with the Zenbivy 30" sleep systems.
Tip: Im not sure if the old stock is gone, but the Blue tents had the old zipper system that is kind of a PITA. The Green XL and Safari have the updated zippers that are easier to get in and out.

Thats a really cool tent, i bet my brother would love it on his camping days. He likes going out alone for a few days when he needs a break. Thank you fir the review ❤

I'd like to try a hammock tent.
Permanent injuries sustained at work in the last few years have made traditional hammock camping very uncomfortable.
A flat-lay hammock could be the solution. I also like the option for ground camping if no trees are available.
Food for thought.

[crispinleslie]

I’ve used one for two seasons of moto camping. Great sleep system that has saved me a lot of money. Worth every penny.

[hakfkdjwlzlvnfbrneam]

Always nice to run into a fellow traveler from the east, have a good one brother!

[johnskitzis]

Seems like a very nice system. Thanks Dave!

[scottlomas]

I'm very impressed with it. Cheers David

[Digitek]

i bought one this summer with the bundle, pad cover and carbon fiber poles. Great night sleep and i love it. Fits perfectly in a FILBE assault pack too.

Thanks for your input. The Haven Tent may not be the ideal setup for backpacking along the Appalachian Trail and so on. But I’m sure it would be doable for a short weekend trek to that special secluded spot that you can only reach by foot and that no one else is aware of. But where it shines I believe, is when it comes to an extended canoe or kayak trip. I bought one and really like it and wished I had it when I and a good friend of mine kayaked around portions of Isle Royale. And as long as you have trees to suspend it between, you should have no problem having a good nights sleep. I’m sure it would work well with bike camping, and I could go on and on how I’m satisfied with the Haven Tent.

The Ridgelight is awesome if you carry a powerbank. It has stepless dimming, and at minimum it shuts off after about 2 minutes, so you can get settled and then sleep.

[WildernessMapper]

I watched a video that showed to elevate the side of the tent slightly where your head is going to go.
