food, lori
Thanks <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
food - that hammock may be good for the west side of the cascades where its really wet. I like the looks of the jungle hammock a lot, except for the sag. It also looks like a lot of stuff to carry and set up. The lighter weight one looks like a grocery bag.

lori,
Almost all of the reviewers I could find on this item agree that it takes some time to learn to "adjust" it. Meaning that it is easy for it to be out of adjustment. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Since I tried it for 3 minutes and Bigfoot set it up and it was the first time he ever set it up while BPing, and considering that his son lowered it to the ground and slept on the ground on a pad, probably means we didn't have it "properly adjusted".

I have a large credit at REI and I can pick up any of the three models of Hennesy Hammock. I'm not that hung up over a pound, so any of the three is ok weight wise. I understand the heavier one has a larger fly. Anybody have an opinion? The 2 pound one ($189 at REI) comes with the highest reviewer rating. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I did like the bottom entry and the way it naturally seals up, but I wonder about getting my pad or my Down Airmattress into it? I think if I can get my down airmattress into it I may even consider a quilt since I generally use my SB as a quilt anyway in warm weather and with a DAM under you, you don't need a SB. I may take my old TNF blue kazoo and cut a third of it off and sew up the wound. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I think my concern is venting the heat while being held in a cocoon. I might need two thinner blankets - maybe some wool blankets huh? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
