I have one of those and also a Hyperlite. For easier and faster setup, I make a quick half-hitch at either end just to determine the height and slack I want, then I replace the half-hitches with bowline hitches, and that way the hammock doesn't slip. An even quicker setup option is to use carabiners.
perfectshot77 I have had this a little over a year and it's still doing ok... I don't know if they have a warranty you may need to check out the website for that information...Thanks
Just ordered Hennessy Explorer with snakeskins largely due to this set of vids.Ur vids are so clear it shows how great these hammocks are. Thanks for showing so much detail.
Nicely done video. In my experience with this hammock, I've found it much easier to keep the hammock dry when setting up in the rain if the fly is packed separately. Hang the hammock leaving the snakeskins on until you've set up the fly. Then when you role the snakeskins back, you're under cover and no rain can get on the hammock.
Very good set-up video. Nice to see a set-up by a consumer and not just the one on the Hennessey website. no frills or thrills, just the facts mam. Thanks
Warbonnet Blackbird or DD Traveller ... bottom entry is lame.

so if it starts raining hard there will not be aenough room under the fly to hang out and stay dry while you are cooking or whatever.
to your mind what are the advantages over a tent or a light weight tarp set up?

It's possible and the hammock does allow it to be used as a chair to sit on instead of in....
The couple advantages I'm sold on is getting you off the ground and rigging on any type ground be it unlevel , rocks or wet...

By far, the best video I have seen on this type of product. So very well done, I'm sold on this tent. Hennessy should supply you with gear for life!!
