I have never actually slept in a hammock on the trail, but I have purchased one and I plan on staying out in my back yard a couple of nights just to see if it will wreck my back like every one says that it will.. I bought a hammock made by Hennessey and looking at it it seemed to be of very good quality. I have it stretched out in the bonus room right now but my wife will be home in a couple of days so I will probably have to take it outside if you know what I mean...I can't offer any advice about the hammock right now but I can tell you that I am well on my way to being able to offer every one some cause sooner or later I will find myself sleeping in this thing out in the back yard for a couple of days..Sorry I didn't have any advice but maybe patience is a virtue...sabre11004...

The first step that you take is one of those that will get you there !!!!!
