Comments about Hennessy Hammock Ultralite Backpacker Asym Zip Hammock:

I've been using a Hennessy for a couple of years for just about anything except snow camping. Living in Texas, a hammock is the best way to get a good night's sleep when camping.

I used one on a 100mi solo trek in the Rockies last summer w/o any problem and it was nice to be able to rapidly setup a minimal impact "stealth" camp where ever I stopped. I usually made a point of camping below tree-line and had no problem finding good sites even as high as 11,000. The fact you're off the ground opens the possibility of using camp sites that you'd never be able to use with a tent.

A couple of tips: use a separate ridge line for the fly (else it will sag), use a ridge rest or some form of under-blanket if the temperature is below 60-70F, treat the bottom with permethrin once a year to keep mosquitos from biting you through material. From March-October (in Texas), I usually just use a military surplus poncho liner and forgo a sleeping bag.

Practice setting up at home before setting out and take a few naps in one to get used to the swaying motion.

Hammock newbies complain about not being able to sleep their first time out. It takes some getting used to but gentle sway tends to rock me to sleep. I'm usually sound asleep in 2 min.

Tie the fly low and tight if the weather turns rainy. I weathered out a pretty good storm camping in east-Texas last spring and stayed high & dry when the rest of the campsite was soggy.

When backpacking keep the fly handy and use it to setup a quick shelter.

I will likely buy another one or two of these soon for my sons for a trip we're planning.

Comments about Hennessy Hammock Ultralite Backpacker Asym Zip Hammock:

I look forward to any time I can use my hammock instead of my tent because it's just so fun! I'm warmer in the hammock (long as I use my undercover) & more comfortable than I would be on a sleeping pad on the ground. Look up videos online to see how easy it is to set-up and use accessories.

Comments about Hennessy Hammock Ultralite Backpacker Asym Zip Hammock:

This was ok for the first night or two, but I didn't sleep a lot in it. After a few nights out it got old. It's not very good for sleeping on your side or stomach and it's a total pain to adjust your sleeping bag. Getting out and back in for a mid night bathroom break is no fun. It works, it's super light and easy to setup, but it isn't nearly as comfortable as a tent and a thick pad. If weight is all you care about then it's great. If you happen to be canoeing through a recently burned down forest with very few trees, you'll end up sleeping on the ground.
