Got be honest i think you would be pushing the bounds in the Deluxe. The Hennessy Safari's limit is 350. Hope this helps.

Great update and demo. One thought on the skins...seems like just a tiny bit more material would make process easier. Thanks for postin' up!

We have mentioned the issue of snake skin size to Hennessey but no joy. You could try the DD Hammock equivalent, DD Hammock Sheath, they are an excellent alternative.

Great video. My next purchase is going to be for an Explorer Deluxe. Thanks to your video I have to look at another model because Im only 5'7" and I may not need something that big. Keep up the good work.

Many thanks. We will be posting a demo on the Hennessy Expedition Asym tomorrow.

Did you spot the outakes at the end?

[05MagnumSXT]

@RVOps Loved the outakes at the end. Made me happy Im not the only one that needs a lot of takes when I make a video. Just for the record being Im under 6 (Im 5'7") foot and only weigh 170 which model should I be looking into??

[RVOps]

I would opt for the Expedition Asym or Scout.

@touchnova I have an explorer and expedition with the snake skins and noticed that over time the snake skins do tend to stretch out and make pulling them over your hammock a bit easier, but they are a bit of a pain when you first get them. When I 1st got mine I could barely fit the hammock alone after abouta month or so I can now fit both my hammock and stock fly in one snake skin with minimal effort. Hope this helps.

Great Vid just wondering what is the weight rating on the big hammock. I am 6'4 and about 350. Would that be able to support me?

I find taking a little more time folding the tarp around the hammock and itself (if that makes sense) and wrapping the guide ropes around the whole thing is a much tidier way of using the skins, they just slip on with ease, i've timed myself and can pack my hammock in around 2mins in this way

I believe snakeskins come in different sizes, from Hennessy page: Specifications SnakeSkins #3 For Expedition Asym, Scout and Explorer Ultralight, Ultralite Backpacker . 77" long 7 1/2" circumference at wide end 2" circumference at narrow end SnakeSkins#4 For Explorer Deluxe Safari Deluxe Survivor Evader 84 " long 9" circumference at wide end 2" circumference at narrow end

@RVOps My experience with the snake skins is that they fit ok, just start at one end of the hammock and roll it up half way, don't just squeeze it into. Once it's rolled up, it is fairly easy to slide the snake skin over, then go to the other end, roll it up also, and slide the other snake skin over. They even overlap.

Question: do you also have the super shelter 4 season insulation system for the expedition?

Cheers

great outtakes at the end. Good way to keep the viewer all the way threw the video.
