I recently received my camouflage version of the Explorer. I love all of my Hennessy Hammocks, I always share this information with other HH owners: Arrowhead Equipment makes an under quilt designed for the HH. It’s called the Potomac. Happy hanging, sir.
Just got my Hennessy "forest" addition. I got one with the pad sleeve and the reflective bubble pad. I have an old Big Agnes down sleeping bag that has a pad insert, I just leave that out and use it as a quilt. I decided to try setting it up "as is" with the knots setup they have it configured for and HATED IT! I plan to either get a buckle system or carbines and daisy loop straps (I have an old set from my old hammock).
i like the look of some buckle systems and slides, i also always a daisy loop as back up plan, but the fun is simply getting out and about , and i needed some camo to blend in more with the trees
yes the figure of 8 is a strong knot, but never has a triple wrap failed me or crashed me into the ground, i love to play around with the suspension and make sure when i sleep , i have no creeping doubts, overall the hammock is a good buy. there are combinations people use to hang , but a figure of eight is simple and whats in a few extra turns, now dont start me on whoopie slings
