    Anything like a ENO DN with a footbox?

    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?

    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:

    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.

    Oh how true that is!

    Thanks for the answers everyone. I just found out something else about sleeping bag ratings here:...
  13. Why aren't quilts and sleeping bags rated in R value?

    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?

    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.

    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.

    Hello from Montreal

    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.
