    Hello from Ontario!

    Hi every one. I first learned of hammock camping a few years ago and have been interested ever since. I finally got a camping hammock this year. Actually my mom got it for me. When I opened th box there were two Hennessey Expedition Asym Zip! I was so Exited! I was thinking about how my buddy an I could go in to Algonquin park and each have one. Then I realized that one was a cub and only rated for 120 lbs. I'm 155 he's about 225 at least. Long story short we went in a couple weeks ago and i tried the cub out on the last night so my buddy could try my hammock. This was the only night we could take the tarps off so i really wanted to sleep in the hammock. The cub ended up hold me plus my pad, bag and light all night. It was a little tight length wise but not bad. The view was amazing watching the stars all night and the sun rise with th to over the lake. I don't think I'm ever going back to a normal tent. The hammock was so comfort, a little cold the first night but with a pad perfect. Hope to get an under quilt soon.

    Welcome from Philly.
    When I was a kid the only time we were in the house was to eat and sleep.

    Thanks everyone. I've noticed that, I've only been out on one trip so far but I never want to sleep on a root or a rock or a slope again! I can't wait to go out again. I want to build a turtledog stand for my yard but my wife thinks it's too ugly �� and I don't really have the money for the material right now.
