Hopefully it works out well for ya . I took pics and sent them to all three emails and only one answered me. Crawl before you walk my friend. I've never had a hammock setup before so here's is what I need advice with. I set both up at the campsite and started out the first night in the hammock. The company is terrible and a couple scam artists! The metal stakes I received with my tent are clearly different than ones supplied in LoneWolf's videos. The Pomoly arrestor was almost twice that. Different, not particularly bad. ---, Press J to jump to the feed. I havent pulled the trigger on one yet. Website doesn't say buyer pays anything unless returned. I'll disagree on the length only to say its not just absolutely true 11' is more comfy than 10', though I'd say its mostly true but with its own caveats. My opinion on onetigris but pomoly will never get a good review or comment from me. They definitely aren't backpacking tents, but you could probably pull one in on a sled. It was closer to the wall material of a regular tent than anything, and the waterproofing wasn't especially great. Today, I set up pomoly's tent myself. The system has been working great for me. That first night I slept nearly 10 hours (comfortably). None of the hammocks you mentioned are considered "regular". His videos are a must for anyone dipping thier toe in the waters. Not only is it a ton of weight and work, it looks downright wet. View Full Version : Need advice on a first time setup. The tempered glass is very nice. I learned from some blog post it was removed in a later revision of the tent and added to the full mesh inner tent. I believe this is due to the overall change in geometry for the hang. Ive been meaning to get up there and heard how cold it can get. And let's not forget referring all new comers to Shug on YouTube. In general, you don't need to detail it too much, it'll either work ok or not at all. I too live in MN and do all my winter camping along the north shore! I'm not sure why you are being down voted for this. Now three months later I get a bill from us customs for 350.00 for my order! And the cost addition for gear coming from the US side is not nothing. Of course, Warbonnet's Ridgerunner came up. Copyright 2021 Pomolygears. There are a suspicious lack of reviews for their products and I took a bit of a risk going with them over a more established brand such as Luxe, OneTigris, or Seek Outside. Since then I have purchased a top quilt (a 20d Hammock Gear Econ Burrow) and an under quilt (AHE Ridge Creek XL). Gondo, welcome to the forum. During my first season with it, I used my Klymit pad and a sleeping bag as a quilt. Leaked the first time I used it! I think a lot of people just assume you need to bring a heat source in the winter, but the reality is most people just bring adequate insulation. It was for my original order! Actually really like the top cap. Did further research into the company itself if you're interested. With that in mind, I really think a SuperiorGear.com insulated hammock is what I would recommend to anyone starting out who can afford it. Your only issue would be the wait to get one, but this place (https://www.lakeshoreequipment.com/collections/superior-hammocks) has some in stock. Thanks for the advice everyone. There's no built-in prop for the air vent. pipe and spark arrestor. Doesn't come with a fireproof mat which I highly recommend. Ive checked out a lot of his videos and reviews. I have a hex plus tent coming this week and will be using a 3w folding ti stove. I have used the RR with my Nemo Bug Out Shelter and that has worked well. No instructions, but don't really need them. It definitely isn't my cup of tea and I think a lot of people need to understand that there is another way. I can let you know at the end of this month. Awesome to hear! (and why I think the sewn on insulation of the Superior Gear hammocks is so worth it) I'm 5'10" which is right about where the benefits and cons even out, at least for me it seems that way. 1-3 Wolfden UL 9ft x 12ft | 20D 3000m T1 Ultra | | | POMOLY 2021 Lonewolf902 | TC | STOVEHUT 70 | | P T1 TAISOCA | | 2021, POMOLY FORT TC | 1-2 , POMOLY T1 FLAME , , 12, . All Rights Reserved. While I agree an Amazon cheapie will hang about as well as anything, you still need quilts and I wouldn't go cheap there. Hi. Winnerwell has a mat on Amazon that's acceptable. I would say just get a cheapie on amazon and see if it is even in your realm..sure you can get one in Canada. I think most people will be satisfied with this tent. 15-30 Could easily spend $100+ on a basic netted hammock, and $200 on a 3-season UQ, AND be stuck at the bottom of the learning curve of how to get the UQ fitted right, when the Superior hammock gets you past the learning curve for a slight premium. You prop it open a bit and you can vent some excess heat (and there will be excess heat [excluding negative temperatures]). I just pull all my gear on a sled with either skis or snowshoes. There's a possibility of condensation appearing and making it stick to the outside, but with the stove that's a non-issue. As long as the stove drafts properly, you clean/maintain the pipe and spark arrestor, and your tent has a vent it should be fine. But if you must, theres many canvas tent + small wood stove options. Afterwards, more research and bridge hammocks emerged as probably the best option. If you're looking for a budget alternative that is lighter, you could look at the Amazon OneTigris offerings or at a brand called Luxe Hiking Gear. A helpful community that aims to help users make informed decisions about camping gear including sleeping systems, clothing, cooksets, and packs. and to show off our stuff Heard good things about this vendor from up in your neck of the woods. I find there is a little more calf ridge to deal with in a shorter hammock, but that it affects me less than the longer hammock. The thing is he seems to be about the only one doing them. Agreed with Shug that getting a hammock to test out first is the thing to do. Not that someone shorter than me might not benefit from an 11 footer, nor that someone taller can't use a 10 footer. Im still fighting for my money back over a tent i bought and paid express shipping, yet they still have not shipped.

Plus, there is great resale value on these so that you're really talking about renting it for about 10-20% of the cost IF you don't keep it. And they did but still the tape wasn't put on very well but better. They look awesome however theres not many reviews you can find. Looked great but seem tape was terribly applied. And its not even that expensive when you consider the baseline of what you would spend anyway on hammock and UQ. My onetigris tent and stove are worth every penny! Not sure how reliable he is as a reviewer, but at least you can see the tents and stoves in action. Very simple to assemble, though beware there are a number of easily losable screws. Don't expect to be carrying this on your back any great distance or over difficult terrain. Firstly, I am not a representative of Pomoly nor am I laid to promote them. Ive been wondering if I should get a stove with glass or not. The same cottage vendors can also assist you in your learning process. Dang that sounds like a headache. From there, you can go where you need to in terms of what you really want in a hammock. The snow floor melts and gets wet and I imagine humidity rises pretty quickly. A couple minor differences between review videos done by LoneWolf902 on YouTube, but nothing major. I would never buy this product! Came with cut-proof gloves which I appreciate. I never went back to the tent/cot. Maybe an 11 or 12 foot simple gathered end hammock will be good. They said it was an accident and would gladly send a new one! At one time theyd just charge the retail price difference between the two for the upgrade. To me, the idea of heating a tent in the snow doesn't sound appealing. Managed to thaw, dry, and ignite a patch of grass under the stove. Of course, this only applies to gathered end hammocks. I pretty much stopped camping because, even with a cot and air mattress, I couldn't sleep comfortably. The box leaks smoke occasionally, though really any slot-assemblex stove will do this. I know it can be crossed now - but there is much more of a hassle factor and an assumption that everyone owns a cell phone with a data plan (to use the border crossing App). It is weird there are very few reviews so Im sure someone else will appreciate this as well. It's a well established piece of gear that's tried and true in other brands and historically. A cheap modification, but an oversight on Pomoly's part. I was fortunate enough to catch a sale, so I purchased a double layer model and a Thunderfly tarp. Truly, I am totally sold on the insulated hammock thing if you can afford that initial expense, which sounds like you can. The spark arrestor has holes that are too wide. There is no upper mesh as seen in LoneWolf902's video. , POMOLYYouTubeLonewolf902Jeremy WOLF DEN2.0 THEWOLFDEN Bushcraft Tarpaulin, DIY Alright, now that I have time to sit down and think through it, here are my initial impressions of the Pomoly Hex tent (with half inner tent) and Timber wood burning stove with 9ft. Thank you for the in depth review! Just looking for a hot tent for winter in northern Iowa/ southern MN. The footprint I received was brown and orange, and doesn't appear to be made out of the woven, sealed, tarp-like material that traditionally makes up the floor or footprint of a tent. This year I purchased a Pomoly Rhombus (Lone Wolf 902) hot tent/tarp, but haven't used it yet. Stove pipe is as advertised. If you go with Hennessy, bought from Hennessy, I suggest upgrading the standard tarp - like the one that comes with the Explorer - to their Hex tarp. We got to get the border open again. I'm also only 5'9" and 135lbs but because of my back it seems a longer 11-12' and wide hammok is better. As they scammed me, and after that i found hundreds of reviews online of other people they scammed. I believe its one of the reasons I continue to have UQ fit issues. I intend to modify mine with an additional mesh on the inside that complies with these regulations. Absolutely no complaints about the half inner tent so far. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. It casts lots of light, and I really enjoy being able to see the fire. However, as far as hammocks go, Hennessy is a bit on the smaller side - but you are not over 2 meters tall so it might be fine for you. This tent is intended to be transported by a vehicle or sled and the weight reflects that. If you lengthen the hammock and RL, keep the sag the same, then the hammock hangs deeper, and closer to the ground if hung at the same height - a bit looser is good for comfort, but a bit more rounded drop is not so good. Obviously I think they are going through growing pains but Id feel the same in your shoes. So now I have days of sending info and emails just to make my point. Although im shocked to find you think LUXE is a more established brand. Nothing wrong with starting with a Hennessy; a lot of us have. I bought a cheap, gathered end hammock on Amazon and took it on a canoe camping trip (with my tent/cot setup as a backup). If so, what did you think of it? Standard regulation according to park services (US and Canada) is 1/4 Inch diameter holes. Not worth the headache for a not very good product! I think this guy uses a lot of Pomoly products in his videos. The stove can have sharp corners and the gloves are very much needed for dealing with the stove pipe. I've pretty much settled on the fact the people with my condition can't handle the Amok due to the pad, or a bridged hammok due to the more flat style. , POMOLY Wolf Den 2.0TC - Lonewolf 902, , , POMOLYYouTubeLonewolf902Jeremy , THEWOLFDEN Bushcraft Tarpaulin. 5-7 So far I admit haven't seen any glaring problems. Did you ever end up using the hex plus tent? I am consistently getting a good night of comfortable sleep. I would recommend you try a more traditional gathered end hammock from one of our cottage vendors and learn how to properly hang it. I had too file a complaint with the BBB to get any response. I do like that the spark arrestor has holes for large guy-lines. Took three weeks to get a response back. Not a big deal, grab a stick and prop it yourself, but it seems like a simple feature and for the price I'm surprised it's absent. I like securing that sucker as we get high winds where I camp. I had back problems and was lucky to get 4-5 hours of good sleep a night in my bed. great review, im looking at getting one of their stoves. I started doing some research and hammocks arose as a possible alternative for camping. In the email they said price is all included! I also emailed asking this about the new tent they sent.
