Single layer but thicker than those sold locally by Kampung Traveller, etc. Doubt that its waterproof. Water resistant maybe.

Tarp AND the snakeskin locally the snakeskin sells for Rm110

The 3 person what went camping with me under the heaviest using this swears taht they slept dry and soundly throughout the night so..... yeah. Its enough.

Some guys in hammockforum mentions that if using it in jungles with lots of overhead tree coverage heavy rain is not an issue. Only when the diamond tarp is used in clear area without trees overhead and strong wind there might be some splashes.

RM 8xx ... inclusive the GST? which goes for all items over RM 500 from abroad including Postage ... got import tariff for the item or not?

Bought it from ebay and the seller only charge me original price + shipment of USD44.

Not that I know of. Pass customs smoothly and no indication whatsoever of tax being paid.

My hammock don't come with a tarp. The original tarp is too expensive. So I brought it from china. Normal square tarp. Big size 4x3. Experience with rain and good enough to protect the hammock. And the bag below the tarp.

I doubt the diamond tarp enough shade and if I want to cook something below if rain.

Yes you are right. Its only meant for covering the hammock while you sleep. (Lower cost/lighter weight argument there)

Other than chilling on your hammock or sleeping, your on your own.

Weekend field testing

Look like a Viking ship.

The hanging boat

Really worth the weight & price this hammock. Totally no buyers remorse

RM800++ now??
I had it for 500~600...can't remember exact - was probably 6 years back.

The only issue with Expedition is the tarp. The Tarp is kinda compact and not big enough with just enough coverage for the hammock. Imagine raining and you come out of your hammock and wants to change.... or the other way round, want to change and get into your hammock for a nice sleep. So either buy the Hex tarp or bring another tarp.

The other short coming is the coldness (since it is not windproof from the bottom) .... so have to wear fleece to sleep to have warmth. Newer version comes with pouch for insulation.

Some old memories....

Now in my "camping box" together with all my other gears.... haha

800++ is considered cheap already in malaysia. Some local reseller goes as high as 1000 without snakeskin.

Yeah the tarp is only for coverage during sleeping time. Next upgrade would be the hex tarp.

As for coldness, for me its already an upgrade coz the hammock body is made of oxford nylon, which is much thicker than the cheap tafetta/parachute nylon that I used previously so a sleeping bag+ fleece night wear is sufficient.

wanna sell some stuff off? Can probably get a good price for your hennessy if its in good condition and no smell

haha not selling anything. Just keep it for future use and when I have the time to go outdoors again.

Have full set of gears except tents.

any information that can be share?

This waterfall look scary.

If suddenly flash food, .....

I got mine from an online store in Penang for RM50-60 a few years ago. It has been working well for me whenever I go jungle camping. The only drawback is the weight.

The journey start from the town called Tanah Rata / Brinchang , Cameron Highlands.

From there trekking activity begin, it take about 3 ~ 4 hours (3 km) normal walk by our nature guide to reach Mount Irau (2110m). The trekking will be very Interesting, Challenging & Adventure due to its muddy path all the way to the pick.

Cameron Highlands - the high altitude and cool air really make exploration interesting and fun;
Believe me, you won't really sweat & thirst much.. ; and the best thing is very minimal insect , mosquitoes & leech bites :-)
