I think I may well give that a shot! Thanks for the advice!
I sprained my ankle this year and despite treatment it gets sore sometimes when I sleep in the hammock.
Is there anything like an ENO DN with a foot box?
Ah thanks! I missed that!
I'd like to know what hammock this is. Anyone know?

Considering it was 2C (35F) that night it would have been one heck of an odd sight! Maybe I should consider my hammock this summer during other tournaments! :laugh:
This weekend I participated in a 24 hour Volleyball tournament in Montreal. Though we all bring camping gear to the event to take a nap here and there I decided to bring my hammock in case I could...
My whole family sat in it a few times (and we swing back and forth for fun). Together we weigh a total of 350lbs. If you add the swinging I'd say you could probably reach 400lbs easy.
I drew on the adjustment cords a bit too fast and rope burned my thumb!
:D
Hopefully others will not be as dumb (or drunk) as I was.
BTW I slept super comfortably with it down to 4C(39F) in...
The chairs! Thank you so much for that!
Oh how true that is!
Thanks for the answers everyone. I just found out something else about sleeping bag ratings here:...
I see floor mats rated with R value and I can't understand why it isn't the same for sleeping bags and quilts.
Anyone know why they don't use the same rating for everything that keeps you warm?
Thanks for the inspiration!
I just finished a stand (not a portable one like yours) that's raised high enough for my Hennessy.
Attached are a few pictures with my hennessy and a KAQ Potomac UQ.
Thanks for all the replies and great advice. You guys are great!
Has anyone used a system that two could sleep in?
I'm asking for my wife and 2yo kid. They're jealous of my dry hammock after their tent floor got soaked over the week end.
I thought I'd tell those interested how my first hangs were.
I was in a nice camp site with a new Hennessy Hyperlite Classic Asym and slept my first night with just a sleeping bag inside the...
Thanks for the answers. Both these options look doable. :D
I don't have load bearing trees in my backyard and I find most hammock stands too low to the ground.
After unsuccessfully trying to build my own contraption I'm looking to purchase one if I can...
I wouldn't consider myself a hanger yet (I'm testing my Hennessy out on the 12-13 in the Laurentians with some tent friends and the family.
Do you have any good hikes to recommend for people from...
I've just recently ordered a Hennessy Hyperlight Backpacker A-Sym hammock. I'm looking forward to trying it out on the 12-13 of August in the Laurentians.
Thanks for the great forum.
