Hennessy Question

[tflaris]

Has anyone heard of attaching a Hennessy Hammock using Prusiks and a carabineer on each end with the stock cords?

Thanks

I haven't but sounds like an interesting technique. Curious myself now!

Something to try this weekend...

I have not seen that but have personally had great results with my HH Expedition Asym with two descender rings and carabiner on the tree straps.There's a YouTube video on it somewhere and it makes it so easy to adjust.Requires properly rated hardware.

Sorry I meant to include a set of tree wraps also in the list of items.

I was looking at this

and started thinking if I could use the stock cord on the Hennessy and attach a hammock in a similar method.

1) wrap tree wraps around the tree
2) lace cord in and out of each wrap loop
3) using a carabineer with a loop attached connected with a Prusiks for tensioning

The only thing I might have forgotten is what would the carabineer attach to.

Oh well back to the drawing board

I was using the descended rings until I discovered whoopie slings.

I have not added them to my hammock yet, but my son's hammock has them and a toggle to the adjustable end of a whoopie is much better in my opinion.

I know this is super silly, but I don't like the clanging and ringing that The rings make.

They work very very very well how ever and highly recommend the Garda hitch.

I did the garda hitch (clovehitch with backing half hitch) on the carabiners and used Atlas straps for a while. That was very simple and easy to put up.

Wouldn't that kill the tree?

I have a HH and for the life of me I cannot see anything that works better than a closed loop with attached cinch buckle and a strap.
