    Need your help

    hey guys, I need your help ASAP....

    Found a used Hennesey Hammock, incl Tarp, Snakeskins, treehuggers....
    Used three times last summer...

    Seller asks for 197usd... This is a seller in Sweden so shipping will be very low

    Is this a fair/good price for this set up?

    what model ?
    advance warning the price seems very steep unless it
    is the hyperlight with a hex tarp.or one of the rare
    collector HH models, eg: the cherry red snap-on edition.

    As a fellow non american I know exactly how outrageous
    international shipping fees can amount to, but unless its
    a hyperlight, I would let it go .... you will find much
    better deals

    And this forum is definitely the place to find those deals.

    Which model is it? Is it the standard tarp or a bigger silnylon tarp?

    Hennessy sells new hammocks which include tarp, snakeskins, and treehuggers for less than $197 (plus you get a second hammock for free--either a scout or expedition depending upon which they have in stock). For example, the Expedition model is $140 at Hennessy's site:

    http://hennessyhammock.com/catalogue.html

    Edit -- the model he is selling for $197 is the ultralight backpacker. Hennessy sells that for $189.95 (plus you get a second hammock). Does the $197 get you a different tarp than the standard tarp?

    DD makes a good hammock. I would skip this HHUL, as the price seems a little steep, even shipped to Sweden. I've seen HHUL's go for around $100. Add shipping and customs, and you would still end up under the $197. You could also get a Claytor Jungle for a lot less.
