Hennessy Hammock Review and Demonstration envirosponsible

Thinking about buying a Hennessy Hammock? Check out this video review and demonstration for information that may help you make a decision on your purchase.

Personally, I love their sleeping system. They're lightweight, comfortable, easy to set up, and keep the person inside dry. That said, cold-weather camping can be challenging in a hammock. Similar to an icing bridge, wind that blows on the underside of the hammock rapidly cools the occupant's backside. An air mattress is an easy remedy, and I've heard good things about under quilts. I highly recommend the Hennessy Hammock and will use one for my camping trips 3 seasons out of 4. http://hennessyhammock.com/

Where'd you buy that poncho? I'm looking for a good one that can double as an emergency shelter but can't seem to find one.

@iTek42 At a surplus store in Canada.

How well does your hennessy hammock hold up in the rain with just the poncho tarp that comes with it? I bought a hennesy explorer but havnt tried it out yet

[envirosponsible]

@windofthegods It's solid and I haven't had any problems with it.

If you end up unable to find suitable trees to hang your hammock can you use it on the ground?

[envirosponsible]

@XCritonX I've heard of people using these as bivy sacks, but I'd be reluctant to do so. It would cause wear or make holes in the bottom. Thanks.

Look up hammock camping by Shug Emery here on you tube. His solution to thee frozen butt is an "under-quilt" He made his out of down...compact, light weight and very warm. This hangs on the outside of the hammock to prevent compression and maximize warmth. A great idea!

@muetter It dosn't hurt at all! the hamock forms to your back and curvature witch makes it extremely comfortable

[ScanMan1967]

You say you were cold,..what temp was it at night ?

[blaketrujillo801]

U should get an army bivy sleeping systems then u wont be cold. So what is better eno hammocks of hennessy

[Jesteria78]

I have a tip for to avoid the cold: bring two sleeping bags with you. Serious. I have one "big" sleeping bag and one thin ultra light. When it's really cold I sleep inside the ultra light, inside the big one. Works for me.

[grillerblowerupper]
