RE/ >I am about get rid of the Hennesey but wonder if I am missing something >here. Most equipment has more redeeming features than the Hennesey Hammock. >Is this just me, or do others have the same problems? I bought a Hennessy too. Within fifteen minutes of having strung it up in the back yard, I had put an 8" tear in the mosquito netting - and I have no idea how.... now there are three tears and I still don't have a clue... I found it much, much too small for my 6'5" bod. Maybe if somebody is 5'3" or so it would work... Also, it seemed to me like the durability tradeoffs in favor of light weight were a bit extreme...but then, I'm no backpacker. Actually, the one thing that seemed promising about it was the slit entry/exit in the bottom - although when I used it, I couldn't get a good seal. OTOH, I never tried it with a sleeping bag.... ----------------------- 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 Sep 05 2000 - 17:16:11 PDT
