    Cool Hangin' In Mississauga Ontario Canada

    Hello All,

    Long time reader. First time poster. Just saying eh.

    I am fairly new to the Hammock scene. I purchased a Hennessy Expedition two season ago. I purchased it a few weeks before I was planning to use it for the first time. My backyard is treeless, so I set it up in my unfinished basement. Told the wife. "I am going to sleep down here for tonight", two weeks later I still had not returned to my bed upstairs. I was getting a better sleep in the hammock than in my own bed. Needless to say I was hooked. It has been with me on every backpacking trip since.

    I have watched and read everything that I could find on the henessey. I am still using the tarp that comes with it. My only mod is using D-Rings and biners for the suspension.

    After reading alot here, It has made me want to explore other options. I still have not decided which path to take as of yet. There are so many options.

    I will keep this short.

    Hope to engage with everyone.

    Cheers!

    Hi Iguana, welcome from downtown Toronto!

    Although I've recently switched to a Warbonnet Blackbird, my first hammock was a Hennessy Expedition that I had put a full double sided zipper mod to. I also replaced the stock tarp with a much larger silnylon one. Great setup.

    Welcome from the northern shore of the St. Lawrence.
    Whoopie slings are fantastic.

    Welcome from down the 401 in London. Lots of great hammocks to check out. I'd definitely upgrade the tarp first if the hammock is comfortable enough.
