If its the one I am thinking of made from silk, its a fantastic hammock. I have been using one for many many years. Light weight, small pack size and comfortable.

Ok Thank you,can you sleep flat it these hammocks? or do you lay in then banana like.

I don't think you can sleep in any hammock flat but I get what you mean. They are very roomy and can be set taught or slack.

This is mine

171384806539 this is the item number on eBay.I don't know how to send a link to item sorry,I'm still a bit dim when it comes to these things.But your feed back would be great

I sleep fairly flat in my hennessy as I lay across it,if that makes sense.

I suspected it was that one that the OP was referring to.

If you buy from elsewhere I find the photos misleading..

Has nobody else ever tried this system,I'm thinking as there is not much feed back about these hammocks that there not so popular?

I've seen it crop up a few times on here, no personal experience but the tarp always strikes me as being far too small.

The tarp on the henessy which I use is about the same size and I have be out in that is some crazy weather and have been fine,but there is not much admin space so use a henessy hex tarp in the wetter/colder times.The main thing I would like to know is if there any good

The hammocks are very long and wide so you will need a 3x3 tarp. I use a DD, cheap and cheerful but does all I need.
IIRC they were designed by Magikelly who had them made abroad and then kindly organized a few group buys. No idea if he has any involvement now.

Thank you for all you advice,I think he has decided to pay the extra money and get a henessy hammock.
