So I have found my hammock from what I have seen. I saw this in other videos and have been watching each. No question this is what I want in a hammock. I actually thought of trying to make a design like this years ago but never gave myself enough credit to try and start making them. Good on you for knocking it out of the park.
Ive been preparing for today for several weeks, we ordered our tents just last Friday, and I got mine on the next Tuesday (which is today), But I have been watching all of the Haven Tent videos I can find and so when my package got here today I was worse than a kid at Christmas and seeing that I'm a 51 yr old female that must have been a sight, Rob is still waiting for his XL Tent, it was on backorder, sorry for him (nanner nanner) I have my Haven set up literally in my living room (don't ask how) But I have watched so many videos set up was super FAST and I sat down then laid back and just said over and over, oh honey, oh my gosh, ohhhh this is WOW !!!! I am elated beyond description because this year I can enjoy our annual trip and here is why... we have a yearly mountain lake fishing family camping trip that we all backpack a few miles into and last year I was just wounded !! A relative had a hammock and I started thinking after waking up both mornings feeling like I had been beaten with baseball bats at my shoulders and my hips that maybe a hammock is what I needed but I'm a tummy sleeper so the standard string and sheet hammock was not guna work for me and I knew that so I started my search and I found two top contenders the Haven won out over the A1 for two reasons, 1. two available sizes, I'm smaller but my other half is quite a bit taller and broad shouldered, and 2. Price. The Bonus is that we Support the "Shop Locally" movement and Derek has the BEST customer service. He reached out to us almost immediately when we placed our order to ask if we wanted both the tents to ship at the same time or if we wanted to receive mine right away ? Obviously the kid in me opted to get mine ASAP and I am so very HAPPY !!! Thank You Derek we will send you some pics from our Mid July trip when we get back. I am so appreciative because I know I will WANT to continue to make these trips every year now knowing I have a way to be comfortable, warm, and safe and most of all I will ENJOY this trip, You gave that to me, Thank You so very much !!!
Michelle, this is the best comment ever! 😊 Thank you for taking the time to share your first impression and for taking a chance on us. I hope your husband has a few Ohhh's and wow's of his own once the XL arrives. Thank you for including us on your annual trip, July can't come soon enough! - Derek
@@HavenTents just got it. so far everything looks great. The weight for travel and quality are perfect. Thanks, the pump is a great touch too!!! Can't wait 🌴💤🌴🥥🌴🥥
This honestly looks like one of the greatest shelter/sleep set ups I’ve ever seen. I absolutely love the comfort of hammock camping but sometimes there’s no real suitable trees around to hang or the weather is so bad and windy that you’d honestly feel a bit safer in a tent so to see that not only is the material durable and reinforced as all Hell (looked at some reviews) but that you have the option to convert it to a tent or bivy with either trekking poles or a couple of beefy sticks/branches, I’m hooked. I can’t wait to pick one of these up once I get back to work. I hope you all are staying healthy and safe during these trying times. What an awesome product and customer service!
If you haven't seen them yet, definitely check out Yobo Gear hammock stands. I have them as you can't hang from trees here in the CT state parks, and they're great! Looking forward to trying my new Haven XL with them.
I LOVE this idea! I'll meet definitely be getting one, once I'm back to work! I have slept in a hammock outside and in, for the last 7+ years and love it. It's the most comfortable rest I could ask for. Now you come along with the Haven and I may just be as happy as I was when I found hammocks! Thank You for the Haven, I'm greatly looking forward to having one of my own soon!
A really cool option would be a truck bed set up accessory that either worked in the holes of the truck bed (set up 2) or that could be attached to the hitch with extender that went out to support tent. Be better than a over priced rooftop tent.
Rob and I ordered ours today, Mine should be here quickly with the insulated pad and the pad cover, I absolutely can not wait for it to get here, I'm going to set up between a couple apple trees in the yard and try it out the first night we get it !! I will keep ya all posted, greetings from Idaho !!
Better than other Bridge hammocks, because it hangs OFF the ridgeline and so it's more stable. Other bridge hammocks end up being easy to tip over, just like an overly tight gathered-end hammock. I wish it was sold without the Rain Fly, because it can not be effectively used in porch mode (too narrow, at least one side needed to be at twice as long). To provide a comfortable storm shelter, and most people end up buying a separate tarp. At 400€ for a hammock, pad, mosquito net and rain fly it isn't outrageous for a US-made product, but it is unfortunately WAY above most people's budget here in Europe, at least excluding the top countries like switzerland, Luxembourg, etc. We're spending 200€ max with decathlon stuff. I'd need to work a whole month to pay for a Haven, and that's before expenses ;-;
I’ve bought the haven tent, Rain fly, insulated pad, pad cover, whoopieslings, ridge line, and the inflator. I can confidently say that I’m the coolest camper in my group and sleep the most comfortable, definitely have plans to buy the haven XL
I have one of these tents, the quality is superb, the design is super well thought out, extremely easy to put up, I would highly recommend getting one if your thinking about getting a hammock tent.
Another recommendation, a drip line on each of the carabiners so that any water that runs down the tree straps will drip to the ground and not continue into the hammock. It can be something as easy as a bit of cord (I use a short piece of zing it braided rope on the drip rings on my hammock).
Thanks Richard, in testing we have seen that the integrated dripline (running onto the rainfly) works well in most situations. For serious rain we'd still recommend a dripline before the carabiners. Thanks for the comment!
@@denflyer832 so I bought what was supposed to be a haven tent and it turned out to be a scam from China. I have been in contact with Derek to track down the fake store selling a haven tent. So if you buy one get one directly from Derek. They are awesome and I will be ordering the real deal soon
it seems to be a great idea sleeping off the ground and lay flat. Only thing I feel a little bit lacking is the width size: 23 inches only. I wish it could be at least 25 inches because your arms might get pressured or slightly claustrophobic while you are moving left/right.
Great video and seems like a great product. Can’t wait to get my hands on one when they become available and test it out. Absolutely love the idea of being able to be flat in a hammock and also be able to put it to the ground if needed. Amok has the closest I’ve seen to this idea. Love it!!
I own a AMOK Draumr XL, as a side sleeper I couldn't cope with a 'normal' hammock system. I'm intrigued on how the Haven will cope with side sleepers? Also love the Bivvy idea, one solution for all environments.
좋은 영상. 좋은 제품 감사합니다. 꼭 사고 싶네요 아내가 허락만 하면...... ㅎㅎㅎ 멋진 사장님!!!! good video. good hammock. if my wife agree to buy it i will have to..... First buyer in South korea!!! wonderful CEO!! thank you from south korea!!!
Snacks do not belong in your sleeping quarters if you are a wilderness enthusiast. I spent a career in trails and wilderness management in MT and WY and never wanted my digs to become a bear snack bar, or even a pack rat snack bar. As an avid hammocker (nightly and backpacking), GE and 90* hammocktent, I think this design has some great possibilities.
Question: I am very interested. I am a 3-5 day at a time backpacker and need actual specs. I don't see them on your site. Can you help with those critical elements, please?
Thank you Derek! I used mine for the first time last week and I loved it. I made a few mistakes picking trees because I took a friend that was using a tent so we had to choose a good spot for HIM. I am not going to miss having to break out a level and a broom and do an engineering survey to find a good spot for a tent. Any way is was great. I already made some changes for people that want to pack light. I left the bug net, and stuff sacks at home. I bought a pair of light weight carabiners and a roll of lighter guy lines. I knocked a pound out of the set up for $25. I am 6' 1" and 240 pounds and had no issues. First time in 15 years, I slept on my back all night without pain.
chris smith No way, this is great to hear! I hope we can keep getting you out in the woods if you know you can get a good night. And thanks for the tips!
@@bddboy1 I bought some off amazon. They saved a lot of weight but then I went to Dutchware and ordered longer straps that do not stretch and titanium dutch clips that weigh almost nothing so now I can pitch just about anywhere. Also Any 2.5 or 3 mm guyline from ebay or amazon will save some weight. I also ordered the un insulated pad from Haven and it saves a lot of weight for a good price. I use a good sleeping bag so I am okay with temps going into 30's.
I recieved mine this morning, within the delay indicated on the website. I didn't want to stuff the spreader bars and the stakes with the rest of the hammock and risk damaging the fabric during transport ; the problem solved itself by using the large green bag the optional whoopie sling came with. I put the poles, carabeeners and loops all together in this bag. It adds a bit of volume, but there is no more metal rubbing against the fabric while I'm carrying the hammock.
errr... forget that. The spreader bars, the stakes and the rest already came with that very stuff sack I mentionned. I just unpacked upon delivery to check everything was fine but didn't realize while packing back up it was the case. I'm an idiot. Don't be surprised if my next 30 minutes long tutorial is called "how to use a carabeener" : )
BEST TENT on the market. PROS: 1 has pockets , storage and a place to hang a small light , 2 The haven XL gives lots of room and can handle heavier people , 3 It is Flat thank god 4 cozy air mat fits into place 5 I can hang high enough away from large animals a plus , 6 A bug mesh , 7 a rain flap 8 Can be used without trees 9 haven XL has room for extra heavy sleeping bag and number 10 you give ideas to hang your back pack on cord along with your shoes and other gear. I want to buy 2 camo tents. Do you have camo ?
Thanks. I just tested our pad insulation sleeve last night in fact... Rather than having a quilt on the outside we wanted something that would keep all of the insulation inside the waterproof layer. Should be available end of the month (May)
I like this idea. Is the mattress simply an air mattress, or does it have thermal insulation, similar to say, a Thermarest? I'm thinking of those chilly nights when I want warmth underneath.
Thanks John, with some of our early prototypes you were able to zip the rainfly shut... but it became very hard to prevent leaks. We settled on this design after more trial. yYou are able to secure the 4 corners with grommets and use the loop in the center to further "lock down" the rainfly. I have been in some intense wind and it has done very well.
Hi, thanks for pro tips. it would be so cool to be able to hold one side of rainfly open with a trekking pole or something , and to be able to close it from the inside...
Anyone who lives somewhere with mosquitoes will not appreciate the fact that they didn't do double zippers on the mosquito net. There is only one zipper on either side of the nets so you have to open it all the way up. I spent the first night in mine last night, and I had to grab something off the ground underneath my hammock. I had to open half the bug screen up just to get to what I needed and I let in about 30 mosquitoes in the meantime. On any of my Hennessy style hammocks, they are double zippered which allows you to unzip a small portion to reach out and get anything off the ground or outside the hammock. Serious failure right off to get go. It seems like their only concern was the ability to remove the bug screen. Also, with a bit of movement flipping back and forth from your stomach or side, the bug screen zipper will start to work its way down opening a gap. Gnats, no-see ums, and mosquitoes became a problem from that as well. There is a good chance that my brand new hammock will be sold shortly. I waited a long time to buy one of these, very disappointing.
Just received mine I can't find the slot to put the spreader bars on the outside of the tent. Where do they go? I'm assuming where the tent squares out on the ends but there is no opening to slip the spreader bars in
This looks so cool! I’ve wanted one of these ever since they came out. I noticed on your website that the tent with the sleeping pad is out of stock, however I have my own inflatable sleeping pad, do you guys have the specs for the sleeping pad?
Thanks! The internal dimensions are 23x78" (59x198 cm). It will accommodate most 25" pads as well, and Haven works best with a pad that has horizontal tubing.
Doug Hooton Hi! We don’t sell an under quilt yet... But in a couple months we will have an insulation sleeve for the air mattress. The objective is to bring all of the insulation inside the waterproof material. That way it can also be pitched as a bivy tent.
It's generally thought that internal insulation is severely affected by compression, hence the large scale adoption of underquilts. You might want to look into this and experiment a bit before committing to a final solution.
Is the length measurement from the bottom slightly bigger then the pad or is it the Ridgeline? I am curious about hanging one in my small van and this is necessary knowledge.
Thanks for watching. Here is a video introducing our new insulated air mattress instagram.com/stories/highlights/18091282693194557/ We also have a neoprene pad cover that will act as an Underquilt. Our goal was to put all of the insulation material inside the waterproof layer of the hammock body.
I was wondering about the ground position as a bivy, I guess the weight of the trekker is on the ground (the matress) because the poles couldn't resist it aren't they?
G'day. Hi guys. I am Gerard and i am considering getting back into camping as our boarders have reoped. I have not been for a long time so i am looking at new gear but i no longer want to sleep on the ground and wake up soure. The product looks great and i can see theres a lot of potentual. My qestion is this. I live in Australia Queensland, do you accept buyers over the net and from aboard ?. Gerard.
G'day! Yes we do. We have sent a few tents to Australia already. Haventents.com will calculate the shipping cost, but keep in mind you will be expected to pay import duties as we will be shipping from the US. Thanks!
Ian Davys No we have not sold our design. Most of these scams run a true bait and switch... using our images to collect orders then shipping regular hammock (or nothing at all) but some have also tried to duplicate our design with cheap materials like you’ve said. We are shitting them down as we see them. Sorry! haventents.com/blogs/finding-our-haven/scam-alert
We recommend that your hang height should be no more than two feet off the ground for safety and accessibility reasons; two feet will allow you to enter and exit your Haven with ease 🌲😴🌲
Sorry. I don’t think it would (not having tried it yet myself yet). Our hammock is wider than most gathered end hammocks.. so I think the spreader bars would hit the hammock stand cross bars.
@@HavenTents just gave my new haven a test setup. worked great, love it. i think i found a similar hammock stand to the eno that i think will work with the haven. it's the tato gear portable stand. they are currently out of stock, so can't officially confirm yet.
@@bsjeffrey they are good with returns so you’ll probably be find. Send me an email or a message on Instagram and I’ll send you that picture. Derek(at)haventents.com
We don't. But later this week we will be launching a crowdfunding campaign for European orders. We hope to have inventory in Europe by July. Follow our Instagram to see when the campaign goes live. Thanks! 🇬🇧
Next month we will have a neoprene pad cover that will fit around our pad.. this will give an insulation boost of around R4. We may develop a custom UQ later on, but for now, we like the idea of having all of our insulation inside the waterproof tent body.
Snacks in bear country should not be in your hammock!! As an aside, I spent many nights in mosquito and black fly territory. My rule of thumb is in bed 1/2 hour before sunset and getting up 1/2 hour after sunrise. I avoided ever getting malaria in this way while travelling in the Amazon jungle . No malaria here but it sure beats the bites of the mites.
@@HavenTents Great to hear! This looks to be an excellent motorcyclist camping option due to small packed sized, looking forward to the taller version!
@@philliptoone Hey!!! A local. Yes, I can see why you would say that about the snow. In the canyon we get this wind-blown flaky snow that just kind of comes from nowhere. Makes for a nice video though!
Depend on your location right? When I made this video I was prepping for an overland trip in Hawaii. The main concern there is keeping everything out of the rain... but you're absolutely right in bear territory.
Hello, 3000hh is on the higher end for backpacking rainflys and tents. I have only heard of 10,000 hh being used for tent floors on non-backpacking tents. With the Haven being primarily used above ground we didn't feel the need to use a heavier material for the floor. As we grow our company and product line we hope to develop a canvas 'glamping' hammock. With weight not being an issue, the canvas would have a higher HH rating.
@@HavenTents if you check carp fishing bivvys there very light without the polls of course but the material is 10,000 HH For the good ones but thanks for your reply and I do think it's a great product 👍
Well crap, I feel bad. I saw these things on Temu and thought they were cool, so I ordered one, only to find out after the fact that Haven, a company from my home state is the actual designer, maker, etc of this system. I can say for sure, though, that if I ever buy one again, it will be through Haven and not a cheap Chinese knock-off. My most sincere apologies, Haven.
@@jamesallred460 thanks for letting us know. Just a heads up, from what we’ve seen the knockoffs are junk 😅 so good luck. We do our best to report/shut down the knockoffs
I have one, its perfect, the spacer bars inside give you ample space, for 1 person its fine, you'd have to be some huge fat monster to find this hammock narrow.
This video is absolutely useless. Those are the most basic concepts. How about some actual detail. Do the spreader bars go above the triangle pieces of cloth or below the triangle pieces of cloth? How do you deflate the air mattress if it’s got a deflation stop involved is there a strategy to this? What’s this flag for? Is it extra? Is it important? It really would have been nice to have any amount of instruction coming with this $400 product. Useless.

PROS: 1 has pockets , storage and a place to hang a small light , 2 The haven XL gives lots of room and can handle heavier people , 3 It is Flat thank god 4 cozy air mat fits into place 5 I can hang high enough away from large animals a plus , 6 A bug mesh , 7 a rain flap 8 Can be used without trees 9 haven XL has room for extra heavy sleeping bag and number 10 you give ideas to hang your back pack on cord along with your shoes and other gear. I want to buy 2 camo tents. Do you have camo ?
Yes! We have camo 😎 Thank you so much for the positive vibes over here
Just wondered about using an under quilt with a #haventent thank for the reply. #haventent looks like a really good idea
Thanks. I just tested our pad insulation sleeve last night in fact... Rather than having a quilt on the outside we wanted something that would keep all of the insulation inside the waterproof layer. Should be available end of the month (May)
saw similar ... only the supporting part at the bottom of the hammock
I like this idea. Is the mattress simply an air mattress, or does it have thermal insulation, similar to say, a Thermarest? I'm thinking of those chilly nights when I want warmth underneath.
Yes, I was wondering the same thing. Haventents seem to answer almost everything else here, but seem to neglect this one..?
@@hts1971 Asked and answered many times, both in this video comments and in previous videos. Please read the older comments if you want answers.
i wish there are another layer whit zipper over the mesh to block side wind and rain , not only a tarp over
Thanks John, with some of our early prototypes you were able to zip the rainfly shut... but it became very hard to prevent leaks. We settled on this design after more trial. yYou are able to secure the 4 corners with grommets and use the loop in the center to further "lock down" the rainfly. I have been in some intense wind and it has done very well.
Awesome! Well done!
Hi, thanks for pro tips. it would be so cool to be able to hold one side of rainfly open with a trekking pole or something , and to be able to close it from the inside...
Anyone who lives somewhere with mosquitoes will not appreciate the fact that they didn't do double zippers on the mosquito net. There is only one zipper on either side of the nets so you have to open it all the way up. I spent the first night in mine last night, and I had to grab something off the ground underneath my hammock. I had to open half the bug screen up just to get to what I needed and I let in about 30 mosquitoes in the meantime. On any of my Hennessy style hammocks, they are double zippered which allows you to unzip a small portion to reach out and get anything off the ground or outside the hammock. Serious failure right off to get go. It seems like their only concern was the ability to remove the bug screen. Also, with a bit of movement flipping back and forth from your stomach or side, the bug screen zipper will start to work its way down opening a gap. Gnats, no-see ums, and mosquitoes became a problem from that as well. There is a good chance that my brand new hammock will be sold shortly. I waited a long time to buy one of these, very disappointing.
Just received mine I can't find the slot to put the spreader bars on the outside of the tent.
Where do they go? I'm assuming where the tent squares out on the ends but there is no opening to slip the spreader bars in
This looks so cool! I’ve wanted one of these ever since they came out. I noticed on your website that the tent with the sleeping pad is out of stock, however I have my own inflatable sleeping pad, do you guys have the specs for the sleeping pad?
Thanks! The internal dimensions are 23x78" (59x198 cm). It will accommodate most 25" pads as well, and Haven works best with a pad that has horizontal tubing.
Haven Tents Thanks! So are you guys out of stock of the Havens with sleeping pads until July?
Love it, I'll order one as soon as a larger version(26 × 84) is available !
great invention what about side sleeper and would be nice to add a mosquito net but thank you
Thanks for the comment. I am a side sleeper (love it) and it does have an integrated bug net!
Do you guys have any plans to release a two person version of this tent?
We do. We have some designs but still need to prototype them out. Hope to work on it in 2021.
@@HavenTentsis the Haven safari a 2 person tent?
Are these available in the Uk. I can’t wait to try one.
Cool Video. I am 190cm tall and 100kg weigth. Can i use it? How big is the room inside?
great product, I have been hammock camping for 20 years. I am very interested. What is the temperature rating on the sleeping pad?
Thanks! R4 rating on the pad, by itself it’s intended to be a 3 season pad.
@@HavenTents what do you recommend to make it a 4 season?
I was wondering if the larger version will be on the market any time soon?
Great idea. What is the weight of the setup and can it be used for winter backpacking?
Wow. That is awesome. Can it be used with an under quilt?
Doug Hooton Hi! We don’t sell an under quilt yet... But in a couple months we will have an insulation sleeve for the air mattress. The objective is to bring all of the insulation inside the waterproof material. That way it can also be pitched as a bivy tent.
It's generally thought that internal insulation is severely affected by compression, hence the large scale adoption of underquilts. You might want to look into this and experiment a bit before committing to a final solution.
I’ll be taking mine out for about a month, will report back.
Is the length measurement from the bottom slightly bigger then the pad or is it the Ridgeline? I am curious about hanging one in my small van and this is necessary knowledge.
I'm looking for the specs. What are the dimensions (Set up and also packed) and the weight?
Possibly THE best hammock system for 2020. Can these be shipped to the UK?
Thanks Richard! Yes, we are now taking pre-orders for September and we will be fulfilling these orders from the EU. You can order from Haventents.com
@@HavenTents you got an order from me tonight then. Many thanks 👍
I love this, but what about cold nights? Is the mattress a thermo one or is there any kind of fitting underquilt for that hammock?
Thanks for watching. Here is a video introducing our new insulated air mattress instagram.com/stories/highlights/18091282693194557/
We also have a neoprene pad cover that will act as an Underquilt. Our goal was to put all of the insulation material inside the waterproof layer of the hammock body.
Please make this thing at least 25in wide, most of us use the wider 25in mattress camp mattress
I was wondering about the ground position as a bivy, I guess the weight of the trekker is on the ground (the matress) because the poles couldn't resist it aren't they?
Bivy setup is what you gain from using a pad instead of underquilt, yes,
G'day.
Hi guys. I am Gerard and i am considering getting back into camping as our boarders have reoped.
I have not been for a long time so i am looking at new gear but i no longer want to sleep on the ground and wake up soure. The product looks great and i can see theres a lot of potentual.
My qestion is this. I live in Australia Queensland, do you accept buyers over the net and from aboard ?.
Gerard.
G'day! Yes we do. We have sent a few tents to Australia already. Haventents.com will calculate the shipping cost, but keep in mind you will be expected to pay import duties as we will be shipping from the US. Thanks!
Hi there, have you sold your idea, as I keep seeing these on wish, or are they copying it and making it with inferior materials?
Ian Davys No we have not sold our design. Most of these scams run a true bait and switch... using our images to collect orders then shipping regular hammock (or nothing at all) but some have also tried to duplicate our design with cheap materials like you’ve said. We are shitting them down as we see them. Sorry! haventents.com/blogs/finding-our-haven/scam-alert
Kammok Python 10 3.2 oz straps work with this set up? Or better yet what is the specks on all the parts.
Can snake skin be added??
do you ship to Australia?
How does a hammock like this for side sleepers? Thanks.
Hey Mark. Works great for side-sleepers. I am a side sleeper myself!
Cómo puedo pedirla para Colombia
Why can't it be higher than 2ft off the ground ?
We recommend that your hang height should be no more than two feet off the ground for safety and accessibility reasons; two feet will allow you to enter and exit your Haven with ease 🌲😴🌲
Just ordered the Haven Tent, but does the tent delivered with carabiners?
Sebastian, yes it does! Thanks for your order :-)
@@HavenTents Thanks for taking the time to answer. Have a nice day
will this hammock work with the eno nomad hammock stand?
Sorry. I don’t think it would (not having tried it yet myself yet). Our hammock is wider than most gathered end hammocks.. so I think the spreader bars would hit the hammock stand cross bars.
@@HavenTents just gave my new haven a test setup. worked great, love it. i think i found a similar hammock stand to the eno that i think will work with the haven. it's the tato gear portable stand. they are currently out of stock, so can't officially confirm yet.
Hey there. I saw a picture online of someone using the eno nomad stand with the Haven Tent. Worked great!
@@HavenTents i was thinking i might see if an rei store would let me do a test hang on the eno stand.
@@bsjeffrey they are good with returns so you’ll probably be find. Send me an email or a message on Instagram and I’ll send you that picture. Derek(at)haventents.com
Depending upon where I am, I most likely don’t want snacks in with me while in the wilderness.
#haven tents ..cool hammock/tent.
Thanks! We think so too
Do you have an outlet in the UK?
We don't. But later this week we will be launching a crowdfunding campaign for European orders. We hope to have inventory in Europe by July. Follow our Instagram to see when the campaign goes live. Thanks! 🇬🇧
what about under quilts?
Next month we will have a neoprene pad cover that will fit around our pad.. this will give an insulation boost of around R4. We may develop a custom UQ later on, but for now, we like the idea of having all of our insulation inside the waterproof tent body.
Great tip for hanging your pack 🙂
The bears will appreciate its convenient height.
Snacks in bear country should not be in your hammock!!
As an aside, I spent many nights in mosquito and black fly territory. My rule of thumb is in bed 1/2 hour before sunset and getting up 1/2 hour after sunrise. I avoided ever getting malaria in this way while travelling in the Amazon jungle . No malaria here but it sure beats the bites of the mites.
Buenas tardes me encantaría adquirir una hamaca de su empresa para ponerla a prueba en mis campamento
Excelente. Puede ordenar en HavenTents.com
Any possibility of a larger version? 6'6" here #tallpeopleproblems
It is in the works. I was hoping to have something by this summer but Covid had other ideas. Now we're shooing for the fall. Thanks!
@@HavenTents Great to hear! This looks to be an excellent motorcyclist camping option due to small packed sized, looking forward to the taller version!
this is good for car camping far too heavy for backpacker
Really? I figure the weight is included the tarp, and a matress. The weight is in my humble opinion not too bad, considering this.
Any tall people using this XL model? I'm 202cm tall (6.7ft) and can't find reviews from someone who is the similar height.
Hey there! The XL model is 203 CM (80 inches) so you’re cutting it close, but it should work 👍
@@HavenTents Hi, thanks for fast reply! :) I think I'm gonna give it a go!
It's not really snowing in this video. This is an effect he added in post production.
It actually was snowing. We live/work right at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, in Sandy Utah.
@@HavenTents No way! I live in West Jordan. This is an impressive design. :) Sorry but the snow looked fake in the video.
@@philliptoone Hey!!! A local. Yes, I can see why you would say that about the snow. In the canyon we get this wind-blown flaky snow that just kind of comes from nowhere. Makes for a nice video though!
"Keep your snacks close" - uhmm, yupp, that's a nope
Depend on your location right? When I made this video I was prepping for an overland trip in Hawaii. The main concern there is keeping everything out of the rain... but you're absolutely right in bear territory.
@@HavenTents Yeah... I live in Romania, so it's pretty much ALL bear country here
@@Senki207 Wow 🐻

ARGH THE WAIT XD
Why is the material only 3,000 HH and not 10,000 HH Would of ordered but your material is not suitable for for the weather in England
Hello, 3000hh is on the higher end for backpacking rainflys and tents. I have only heard of 10,000 hh being used for tent floors on non-backpacking tents. With the Haven being primarily used above ground we didn't feel the need to use a heavier material for the floor.
As we grow our company and product line we hope to develop a canvas 'glamping' hammock. With weight not being an issue, the canvas would have a higher HH rating.
@@HavenTents if you check carp fishing bivvys there very light without the polls of course but the material is 10,000 HH For the good ones but thanks for your reply and I do think it's a great product 👍
👏👍👌🇳🇴😷⛺️
Well crap, I feel bad. I saw these things on Temu and thought they were cool, so I ordered one, only to find out after the fact that Haven, a company from my home state is the actual designer, maker, etc of this system. I can say for sure, though, that if I ever buy one again, it will be through Haven and not a cheap Chinese knock-off. My most sincere apologies, Haven.
@@jamesallred460 thanks for letting us know. Just a heads up, from what we’ve seen the knockoffs are junk 😅 so good luck. We do our best to report/shut down the knockoffs
$300.
WAY TOO NARROW!
I have one, its perfect, the spacer bars inside give you ample space, for 1 person its fine, you'd have to be some huge fat monster to find this hammock narrow.
WARNING!!
The act is not allowed in Japan.
かんちゃん46 We have live campaign in Japan camp-fire.jp/projects/view/240884
This video is absolutely useless. Those are the most basic concepts. How about some actual detail. Do the spreader bars go above the triangle pieces of cloth or below the triangle pieces of cloth? How do you deflate the air mattress if it’s got a deflation stop involved is there a strategy to this? What’s this flag for? Is it extra? Is it important? It really would have been nice to have any amount of instruction coming with this $400 product. Useless.
