Comments about Hennessy Hammock Expedition Asym Zip Hammock:

I purchased this for my Son who is a Webelos Scout, after falling in love with one myself. Set up was a breeze for him, 2 trees, 2 ropes, and 4 ground stakes. He was ready for anything Mother Nature had in store for the weekend. Turns out Mother Nature would put it to the test, a series of storms moved through - 2.25 inches of rain, high winds, and a funnel cloud to the east. After the storms passed we went back to check the camp, and as 2/3 of the families were packing up wet gear, our hammocks and gear were dry. We got to spend an extra night camping thanks to the Hennessy Hammock design. My son loved it and brags about how great his camp was.

Purchasing the ZIP version is definitely a smart move, and the manufactures Snake Skins make packing up a snap!

Comments about Hennessy Hammock Expedition Asym Zip Hammock:

Well finally the folks at Hennessy must have paid attention to what the folks on hammock forums have been doing. I've got an expedition I had modified with a zipper and it must made the product infinitely better. Easier to use with an underquilt for winter ... makes it great for having "breakfast from the hammock" ...

WAY TO GO TOM ... finally.

I use my Hennessy Hammock mainly for backpacking. I like that it came with a bug net, rain fly and straps and is lighter than the competitors when equally equipped, oh, and it was 50.00 cheaper!

Comments about Hennessy Hammock Expedition Asym Zip Hammock:

I had been using a cheaper hammock for camping for 2 years and decided that it was time to finally get a higher end one. I just came back from another trip into the Boundary waters with it and I love it. Everything about this hammock is high quality and it is incredibly comfortable. I have used the Tarp that comes with it when weather is mild, but I also have a much larger tarp to give me a more coverage to keep my gear dry when it's really coming down.

Comments about Hennessy Hammock Expedition Asym Zip Hammock:

I had read about hammock camping but was somewhat dubious. I ordered a Hennessy in spite of my skepticism and was very pleased. It's lightweight, takes up hardly any space (no awkward tent poles to deal with) easy to set up and very durable.

I've used it twice so far and my aging back is much happier in a hammock than on the rough old ground. My only advice is to bring along a few tent pegs to tie the guywires to.

Comments about Hennessy Hammock Expedition Asym Zip Hammock:

I don't know how else to put this - There is NO better thing to sleep in. I discovered this thing about 2 years ago, and kept saying "I'll get one with my next REI dividend." I should have gotten one the minute I first heard about it from a friend.

This thing has been described as the Cadillac of hammocks, and it SO is. I have slept like a baby in this thing: rain-free, snow-free, and bug-free.

The first time I took this bad boy out in the wild, I was unexpectedly met by an enormous down-pouring of rain that lasted the whole night. I was dry as a bone when I woke up, and the ping-ping of the rain on the rainfly actually lulled me to sleep!

The second time I used this was in the dead of winter on a camping trip with my friends. Temperatures reached 9 degrees Fahrenheit that night, and the camp site got about 5 inches of snow. All of my friends were huddled around the fire when I lazily rolled out of my Super Shelter, having slept the whole night dry and toasty with only a 20 degree flannel sleeping bag. And when it came time to pack up, I was the first one to the car, with take down for me only being 5 minutes total - packed up and ready to go.

A few things to note:

First, If you don't know your knots, this may cause you some trouble in the set up phase. I suggest looking up Tom Hennessy's video on YouTube concerning set up. It's really helpful, and I learned the knots in no time. Practice setting up in your back yard a few times before it's the real deal.

Second, my model did not come with the SnakeSkins. I bought them separately, and let me just go ahead and tell you, GET THEM. I don't know if Hennessy is including them or not, so check that out first. But they make this thing even more of a breeze!

Lastly, the tree straps that come with it work great, but can be a little too small for some trees. As you can find on YouTube, there are ways to remedy this, but I suggest either buying longer ones from Hennessy, or finding them elsewhere for cheaper. There are all kinds of websites to buy seatbelt material, which is exactly what the Hennessy tree straps are. Look on hammock forums for where to get these.

All in all, I cannot shut up about this hammock! If I had more money, I would buy every serious backpacker in the world one of these SUPERSHELTERS!

Comments about Hennessy Hammock Expedition Asym Zip Hammock:

I recently got the hammock and tested it out on a 4 day hike in the Appalachian Mountains, in late February. It set up very fast with the help of some karabiners and some rings. With a for-cast of 30+ mph winds, I pinned the rain fie down close to the hammock. I stayed warm and cozy through the night, never rocking in the winds. The next day I emerged triumphant as my friends groggily packed their cheaper hammocks after not getting much sleep. Its worth the [$] price tag for what it is. At about 2lbs its a little heavy , but not to bad. I would recommend getting the snakeskin as well. I look forward to many more nights hanging out in the hennessy
