    Hennessy Hammock in Afghanistan

    Hello, I used to post here, however, due to my deployment overseas, forgot my old name and password, I have been using my Hammock in Afghanistan throughout my deployment and I can tell you the rest of the guys were sceptical the first time they saw me rigging it up having never seen one before, now they all want one BAD. The only problem I ran into was in the winter with no underpad it was pretty cool, other than that bringing it was the best thing I ever did. Now I am home can't wait to get into Algonquin Park with it fishing. I have a pic of it set up tied off of our armoured vehichle, I would post it here but am unsure how to.

    Cheers
