Tree hammocks

[Ian Flatters]

After seeing Drew's hammock picture its kind of made me decide to buy one and go sleep up a big tree and catch the morning from up high.

 

 

So....Does anyone know where to get them from as im sure normal b&q ones won't be right:lol:

 

Thanks

 

Oh preferably from a uk supplier so i can get one before winter:001_rolleyes:

Hennesey Hammocks (google) are the best going, all in one hammock, tarp and rigging. Dead easy to rig up. I use one for canoeing, really top notch quality but a little cold in winter.

Just found it on amazon. Thanks for the point in the right direction:thumbup1:. Looks like they thought them out pretty well too.

Yeah, really comfy. Buy the extra sleeves or whatever they're called for easy packing, worth double what they cost.

If your going to sleep high in the Hennesey make sure you get one with a side zip on the net or you will have to be imaginative with how you tie in!

 

A mod light weight stretcher would do although not very wide or you could go for an expensive tree boat!

 

I love my Hennesey ultra light!

There called snake skins, excellent idea! The hammock light weight campers use dynaglide spliced into a whoopie sling!

For sleeping up high i personally prefer the treeboat. The hennessy is awesome for lightweightness though but i prefer the heavy dutyness of the treeboat but the payoff is extra weiught. Matt has slept at around 81m up a gum in his hennessy though so its horses for courses really. Get both and then you wont be sleeping on your own:)

Bought a tree boat some years ago. Got the one with the compartment for inserting a carry matt. A must imo, keeps the cold off ya back up their.

Lived in mine for about 6wks in some woods. It was great:thumbup1:

 

Oh yea, got it from pro climber back then. Sure Caroline still dose them.

got my hennessy hammock with the side zip a few weeks ago and i literally look for excuses to sleep in it! such a good piece of kit, just get some insulation underneath you to stay nice and toasty, you wont regret getting one.
