    new kid from Vancouver

    I figured I'd better say hello before asking the plethora of questions that will inevitably be coming up (don't worry, I know how to use the search button so that should keep them to as few as possible).

    I bought a Hennessy asym about a month ago and took it out for the inaugural camping trip a couple weekends ago. I went camping on Galiano island in B.C and saw a Hennessy Hammocks branded van driving around, I had no idea the company was based so close to home.

    I thought Hammock camping would be a simple and affordable switch but after reading these forums for hours I've already dropped more than the price of my hammock on a summer pheonix under quilt and some whoopie slings. Hopefully I can figure out how to rig them up on my Hennessy. Just what I need... another expensive hobby!

    Anyway, hello from Vancouver, Canada. Thanks for having me.
