United States Deep Caving Team,
Inc.
Hennessy Hammocks
have gone to the ends of the earth
- now they are going to the depths:
-1,484 meter levels!
Dear Tom... we would like to take
this opportunity to thank Hennessy
Hammock for being a corporate sponsor
of the US Deep Caving Team's 2003
and 2004 Sistema Cheve Expeditions.
Briefly, in 2003, the team was able,
during the course of the 3 month expedition,
to reach a depth of -1,484 meters
in Cueva Cheve at a distance of 9.3
kilometers from the nearest entrance.
The depth represents the deepest cave
in the Western Hemisphere and the
9th deepest in the world. The traverse
distance, however, establishes the
present limit of exploration in Cueva
Cheve as the most remote point humans
have ever reached inside the planet.
The fact that 450 meters of underwater
tunnels - beginning at the -1,362
meter level - must be negotiated to
reach this point places it as one
of the most remote points humans have
ever reached inside the planet.
We made extensive use of the Hennessy
Ultralight hammocks on both expeditions.
To cut weight we stripped out the
insect netting (no bugs underground!)
and left the rain flies on the surface
(no rain underground unless you are
under a waterfall). That allowed us
to pack the hammock inside a 1 liter
Nalgene wide mouth bottle, which made
them highly transportable and kept
them dry for when we were ready to
crash for the night...In 2003 the
hammocks were used by the advance
rigging team, which kept them moving
forward into the cave in one movement...I
would recommend these hammocks to
anyone doing expeditionary work. They
are tough, lightweight, and compact.
And they are surprisingly comfortable..
