Hammock for hunting, love it

Hi Guys
I bought a Hennessy Hammock it’s the best camping bed I’ve used & no flies!!!! Very compact 3lbs and very comfortable. Check them out www.hennessyhammock.com. You can sleep on the side of a hill over rocks etc. Or on the ground with a self inflating mat if there’s not trees.

Yup. I have a Warbonnet Blackbird. Once set up it's very comfortable and as you have said - no issue with finding flat ground.

Because I am generally bush bashing - tree's aren't too hard to find. A bit of spare webbing/rope with you and you can even deal with not having a tree in the right place!

What insulation are you using with yours? I find most people, when starting out with a hammock don't understand the ability for convection underneath to freeze your butt off very quickly!

Hi,
I use an MSR Neo Air. 14oz. R value is quite good and keeps the bottom and back warm. I got a Warbonnet too. Also the tarp. Works great.[b]

In NZ?

If you are ever interested in trying out an underquilt - I now have a couple - a 3/4 and a full length.

Will be different again from sleeping on a pad.

I should have guessed by the name... ;)

356 grams according to the website - it's a Warbonnet Yeti 3-Season...
