Intrigued with the idea of a sleeping hammock, I bought one of these things at REI a couple of months ago. For me, the idea still shows promise, but the Hennessy implementation doesn't suite me. The bug netting is too fragile - I ripped it in several places just practicing entering/exiting in my back yard.....and I'm 6'5" tall and the hammock about a foot too short. I suspect it could also use some sort of mini-spreader up around the head....but wouldn't bet too much on it... Anybody know of something bigger/tougher? Right now, I'm playing around with some nylon pack cloth - but realize that the whole Hennessy implementation is not quite as simple as it looks.... ----------------------- Pete Cresswell *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Aug 15 2000 - 22:37:06 PDT
