[...] a traditional bit of kit, which, in the spirit of the Duluth-style canoe pack, is as simple as it is refined. Like the Duluth pack, the wanigan is a large, single-area storage [...]

That’s extremely disappointing to hear, Ian. I’m still a big fan of the Hammock, and I’m thinking I’ll write to them, to let them know what sort of retail representation they’re getting from Europe-Bound.

It was a great trip, the mosquitoes were a bit insane, but the sunsets and good times were all worth it. Will do it again and again.

As for the Hennessy Hammock, I did finally get around to calling Europe bound, but they said how do they know that I didn’t damage it. It’s really unlike me not to check things I buy before using them, but since I used the exact same hammock last year I felt like I had already used it. Europe Bound does have a point, I’m sure there’s lots of people out there that would rip these companies off, which is sad for the honest people out there like me. That said I don’t think I will do business with Europe Bound again. There service stinks compared to MEC, the store is a complete mess and every time you buy something all you will hear is how much of a great deal you are getting. As Mike mentioned, we will pay 5 dollars more for better service.

I will repair the hammock and it will be as good as new and ready for the next trip. I can’t recommend hammock camping enough, it’s just so fun crawling into your hanging house each night, can’t wait until we do it again next year.

Water helped cure my cancer, alkaline water… Water, one of our most precous resources needs to be preserved with out adding to the “issues”, like billions in toxic waste accumulating plastic bottles in the enviornment.

[...] fire starter and the reward of starting a fire without matches or a lighter. Oh and lets not forget a Pakcanoe that can be completely taken apart and stored in an apartment! It’s all pretty clever stuff and much of it serves a dual purpose, whether it’s zip [...]

Thanks again Mike I had a great time! I like the post and the memories of this trip came back as I read the post. I think that one of the factors that helped this trip become such a success in my mind is the company that I was with.
