HI ALL;  Has anyone tried a Hennessy hammock and could you comment on their
usefulness over a one-man tent?
I don't have concerns over the Hennessy design or build quality; but rather
over how critical it is to have trees  a certain yardage apart?
Sometimes I have struggled to find flat space to erect even a one man tent
[ a MacPac Microlight ] at certain landing spots and a hammock might have
been a useful alternative.
How about a little redundancy and pack both a Hennessy and a small tent?
Regards,  Peter Rattenbury, Australia.
