Used
as a Chair and Lounger Customer for life
Hey guys,
Just wanted to say this is the best sleep system out there! I took one
with me on a 50 mile hike down the AT last year and watched as the rest of my
friends
with tents struggled to find flat ground and slept with roots in their back.
I could set up and pack up very quickly leaving more time to rest AND hike.
I LOVE THIS HAMMOCK.
As if that wasn't proof enough, I'm writing is to tell you how this awesome
invention saved my weekend, and maybe a trip to frostbite-land. Recently I
was on a hike in the savage mountains in western MD. I brought a lady friend
so I picked up a cheap tent before we left. MISTAKE. After the first night,
the frost set in and we nearly froze to death. Dew was literally raining INSIDE
the tent! Desperate measures were taken and voiding warranties was not on my
mind, I set up my Hennessey and we crawled inside with my dog! (A yorkie) All
together we weigh about 280. Snuggled and cocooned we were soon toasty and
safe. No dew, no frost. We enjoyed a great weekend after that! Thanks for a
wonderful product.

John Nigeboer of "Seals Action Gear" in Calgary, Alberta discovered a way of using the Hennessy Hammock as an open camp chair. Way to go, John!
It kind of just happened. While he was looking for a place to sit down, he came up with this idea. Just follow these steps:
1. Release one of the side elastics of the Hennessy Hammock.
2. Reach under the hammock and hold onto the reinforcing patch at the bottom center of the entrance with your right hand.
3. Fold the hammock in half by holding the released "O" ring in your left hand and push it straight through to the other side.
4. Before you sit down, make sure that the folded fabric has not shifted out of position.

the Hennessy Hammock used as
a chair -great around camp or
anywhere you want to stop during
the day for a wonderful rest
along the trail. No more crouching
on the damp, hard ground while
cooking or relaxing!!
Because it goes up or comes
down in minutes, you can stop
anytime you feel tired or just
want to enjoy "hanging
out" and enjoying the beauty
of the forest.
Even more comfortable is Jon's
lovely wife, who has definitely
caught on to using her Hennessy
as a camp lounger. This works
just as well on the porch or in
the back yard.

comfort, see Jon's letter on

Folded over, Hennessy Hammocks can be used as open lounger.
The Hammock can also be used open for lounging, reading or waiting for the water to boil with or without the canopy.
The Hennessy Hammock can be set up as a comfortable open seat for just sitting or preparing food with or without the canopy.
