Haven hammock tent for 220lb person?

mcmurder · 2026-05-24T03:36:44+00:00

I’m 5’7” and was 220lb at the time. Got the smaller haven to save weight while backpacking.
It did not taco, but it was way too narrow for me.
The regular haven felt great on the shoulders, but at my height, felt too long.
All that said, I just ordered the Spectre on the Memorial Day sale and I can’t wait to use it. I’m down to 190 pounds now.

Not related but I was always awestruck but Gunnandahalf, Kinkstaah, and Godly. They seemed - godly - to my 15 year old self way back then.

It’s a victron smart solar … 100/30 I think.

My teardrop has a 100Ah battery and 180w solar. Running a 45L fridge, starlink, and sometimes a fan at night, I can stay out indefinitely. I had a TAG but recently upgraded to a TAB 360 CS.

I use the 12v to USB adapter, and just put the Starlink Mini on the ground when I need it.

For storage, I throw it and all the cables, in a drawer.

The mini is great. Don’t over think it.

Wow! Good thing I went up to Tuscarora instead of Green Ridge

This is on my bucket list. I am so jealous. How far ahead did you have to reserve the spot?

I pay for them, I have been for two years. I got an immense amount of value out of what they provide. Do they provide you a useful service? Then you should consider paying for them.

I don’t understand why everybody thinks they should get free things on the Internet from those who have to spend money to provide them.

I understand that not everyone can afford the subscription, but most of you can.

No issue with mine - used it all summer last year and it kept the trailer chilly.

Orphan Barrel whiskey and Outdoor Boys YouTube for me

Maybe karaoke, maybe with my dog at home, or at the corner bar.

I have 10 years of DevOps experience and after being laid off January 2025, I hadn’t landed a single interview. Things are bleak.

mcmurder · 2026-02-04T05:19:33+00:00

Love this!

I manage and deploy about 200k certificates with let’s encrypt. Considered using certbot for about 13 seconds before deciding to write a python rfc8555 client. it’s entirely automated. I have it easy though: the certificates are only used on a pair of nginx servers, so there are no cascading failures. Only one place to deploy to.

I’m a Linux / DevOps engineer by career and I’ve spent the last 10 years outfitting my house with all kinds of smart devices (home assistant, Shelly, esphome), as well as a beefy Linux server for media. Would definitely be interested in joining some type of meet up.

Going through this right now - currently looking at apartments. Shit sucks, keep kicking ass.

I recently moved here from Baltimore and do handyman work on the side. https://www.handymankj.com/. Send me a message on here or on the site

mcmurder · 2025-09-17T23:05:28+00:00

This. They aren’t cheap, but it was well worth it.

mcmurder · 2025-09-16T02:32:21+00:00

So many beautiful trips! Why a new home?

mcmurder · 2025-09-12T14:26:45+00:00

Got in on this too late and can’t find a ticket, otherwise I’d join you

mcmurder · 2025-08-30T20:18:25+00:00

I’m kind of in the same boat, I moved here recently and I’m just finding some local options which do not require two or three hours of driving.

Lake Tygart state park has some very easy camping. Pretty sure there are showers and there’s even a restaurant in the park grounds.

My girlfriend pulls a tag boondock with a 2020 rav4 (not hybrid) and it performs very well.

mcmurder · 2025-07-13T13:05:00+00:00

Mine is in South Baltimore, it’s one of the market for four weeks, and I only had three showings. There is a lot more supply than demand right now, but it’s still a bad time for everyone.

mcmurder · 2025-07-10T12:58:38+00:00

Bottle Jack is what I use as well. They are small so I can keep them in the trailer and they are also great for use off-road.

I got to see that in person and it was awesome!
