Which Hammock?

[relin]

The only real must-have is some way of stopping the rain from running down your hammock suspension

I use a couple of plastic food bag clips. Cheap and work really well

Hi would a couple of clothing pegs work?

Some knotted tails will work. Anything to divert the flow downhill of the strap.

Or a crab at the attaching the hammock to whoopee slings

Postage is free when you order direct from TW or at least it was on all the orders I've placed. I'd get a standard or extra wide green hornet. Not sure how useful an emergency tarp would be. Better off getting a dedicated (and larger) tarp imo. Although if your set on those 2 I'd get the one with proper mossie net mesh. The best bit about hammocks is the view

I had delivered a TW hammock today, it was the green hornet 1.8 wide, really nice bi of kit a tin my opinion a better investment than the dd traveller I had. Just better finished with more features than the DD.

I have the same model hornet as you Luke. It's a brilliant hammock, very roomy. I used to have a DD travel and I much prefer my TW.

Which model do you have? is it the two layered wider hornet? what tarp have you gone for? I liked the idea of the removable third layer ( on the 3 layer hornet) for stashing kit in.

Hi Joab, I have the Green Hornet 1.8m wide version. Its 45cm wider than the standard Hornets, makes it very easy to get the diagonal lay right. I also have one of the XL hammocks for winter use when there's no bugs about.

My hammock tarp is a TW Sargasso Storm, I've been very pleased with this tarp. Never actually used the velcro 'doors' but still its a good size and the catenary cut corners mean it handles high winds well. Also very easy to get a taught pitch. Not sure if they are still making that model but it's a lot like this one, just a bit smaller.

I got the 1.8 wide green hornet, breathable twin layer not the 3 layer.

I've got a 3x3 meter DD tarp and a TW sargasso, I wish I'd got a canvas tarp though as the DD tarp preach has holes in it from embers from my campfire.... Little bit gutted, it's just a case a finding one that's a reasonable price in canvas

Too be honest if be had my choice again I probably wouldn't go for a hennessy I love mine now but had a few mods done to and have had time to get used to it . I'm waiting for alpkit to get they're rig21 in so I can replace the henessy one.
