Peter Rattenbury said: 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? I have used a HH for a long time in the summer. It is my favorite "tent" for sleeping comfort and you don't need to carry a pad. [It is horribly cold in the winter and I will never do that again.] I have added line to the ones provided on the hammock in order to span trees that are far apart, but it gets pretty "bouncy". The length of line seems to be directly related to the amount of spring in those lines and the long ones can almost make me seasick. But it is a great shelter.
