    Looking for instructions on...

    I was looking for instructions or a video on how to re-attach the Hennessy hammock stock suspension. Have any of you guys seen that? I have looked around with no luck as of yet. I think i have it on there right but i would hate to do it wrong and end up on my back lol

    Look at my conversion instructions here. In the first pic you can figure it out.

    1. Run the line through the first hole in the end.
    2. Make 3 wraps to the other hole.
    3. Run the line through the inside hole and back towards the end.
    4. Run the line under the first wrap to help lock it down and through the loop in the ridgeline.
    5. Tie the standing end to the suspension to finish the conversion.

    Yes. I just hope you've got the newer, smaller line. The stuff that came with mine (shown in the pic) is incredibly stiff. I have no idea how the actually cinch the knot tight because I can't get it there. Maybe if I work at it enough.
