I just placed an order for two Hennessy hammocks today for my daughter (6) and me. She slept quite well in a borrowed hammock last night in our basement and I got so excited by the idea of hammock camping with her instead of tent camping that I called up at the first opportunity, held my nose, and handed over the credit card number.

She gets a scout with oversized fly. I get a hyperlite without stock fly. We'll use the hex fly for a bit until I can scrape together the funds to get a better, lighter, MacCat.

Excellent. Now I have to work on keeping us insulated.

Thanks to all of you for your help, even if you haven't realized that you've given it. I've scoured the archives for information and it has been a tremendous resource.

My wallet is going to hurt for days but my back is going to be much happier.
