Don 't know your definition for cheap, but my Kickass uq works just fine with my HH Exped.
I use a Hennessy Exped and have had no problems as you describe. Set up goes fast - I learned the Hennessy knot, which is a fast one to tie, even with a flashlight. The velcro has never created a...
Great idea! Great location! Date conflict for me, I'll be hanging in Baraboo during our Glacier's Edge Council Camporee. Also showing some young Scouts a few Leave No Trace ideas.
I did the zipper mod this past winter - great job!. Used it for first time last weekend. Used both entries, still like the b-e for that nature call in the dark. Don't want it sewed up, might regret...
Welcome! You will learn a bunch from the wisdom on this site. Had my HH zipper mod done this winter -can't wait to hang again in the spring.
Had a zipper mod done to my Hennessy Exped this winter and anticipate enjoying the mod as soon as weather improves and there is an event suitable for hanging - might happen mid April.
I have yet to try my new Maccat Deluxe - have been saving it for Scout camp. I have, however been using a Campmor type tarp - 12 x 12 and am most happy with the extra space over my HH. Learned a lot...

All my gear has been acquired: HH Exped, MacCat tarp, KAQ Potomac, some figure 9's, a set of Hitchcraft, and just yesterday a new Wiggy's sleeping bag. Now all I need are opportunities and decent ...
Over the years during nights at Scout camp, I have been visited by a black bear at Philmont - it actually put it's foot under the wall tent and patted me down -as well as skunks in local camp. One of...
What a pleasure it has been to deal with the new KAQ process! The Potomac I ordered on March 1st arrived on March 9th. This has to be a super effort on John's part of the production process. Plus,...

50 years of Boy Scout camping as an adult. After those years of tent and tarp sleeping, I'm giving the hammock method a try.
I just recently acquired the HH and after considering our Wisconsin climate, decided to upgrade the tarp size. I am waiting for a MacCat Deluxe and think it will meet my needs. I have 50 years of...
I was introduced to the Hennessy hammock during a Leave No Trace course and decided to give my tents a challenge. Will use the HH as soon as Wisconsin winter eases upfor spring camping.
