Hammocks.. The final decider!!

[tomtom]

Never did decide which to get.

Did pick up one of Magikelly's 15 quid ones along the way somewhere though. I seem to stick to my tipi for the most part though.

I have the Hennessy Hammocks Explorer Asym, I have pimped it with a Hex Fly and suitable snake skins . I also use a group buy underblanket .

It is the puppy's parts.

I have only spent three or four nights in it since I have owned it (over a year now). The best nights sleep you can have out of doors.

Stewey.

something similar.... but with the group buy Takonta which if anything is too big. The tarp lives in the snake skins on it's own whilst the hammock, with underblanket attached goes in it's own compression sack.

It leaves the better option of just putting the tarp up when needed.

The snake skins are basicly long slightly tapered waterproof material tubes that slide onto the line of your hammock (big ends meeting) and cover it so it wont get dirty or wet while you hang it . Here they are at the bottom of the page .

Hi Matt,

Snakeskins are tapered tubes which act as a stuff sack for a hammock. I'm pretty sure that there's a video on the Hennessy site - if memory serves it's a mediocre vidoe but it explains the process more easily than I can (snakeskins are at the bottom of the page): http://hennessyhammock.com/new-products.html


Sorry pumbaa I got pulled away from the computer and didn't realise that you'd posted.

Warbonnet hammocks are a contender, with built in foot pocket and shelf!

Whoops! didn't realise the thread I was replying to was 2 yrs old.... that would be why the poll doesn't include certain new hammocks
