The
Hennessy Hammock is the most
innovative solution to lightweight,comfortable
camping on the planet.
At last, you will never
need to find a level camp site. No
more roots, rocks or puddles
coming through the
floor of your tent. No more aching muscles and stiff joints from sleeping
on the hard ground. And no more
carrying a heavy tent.
Hennessy Hammocks have a size and
weight for every purpose, a complete
line of specialty hammocks, including
jungle hammocks, winter hammocks,
and hammock accessories. All
Hennessy Hammocks include attached
mosquito netting, detachable rain
fly, support ropes, tree huggers to
protect the of the bark of trees,
and stuff sack with set up Instructions
on back. To find the
right hammock for you, see our
hammock comparison chart and info
pages about simple set up tips and
staying warm and comfortable in your
hammock.
Hennessy Hammocks are most comfortable
when suspended off the ground as a
bugproof enclosed bed or folded into
a chair or lounger for relaxing
around camp. When there are no trees
or other supports, they are superior
to a bivy sack when set up on the
ground as a tent.

Experience a level of comfort on
the trail almost as good as your bed
at
home and maybe even better. The Hennessy
Hammock is a totally new design
for camping hammocks with patents
in the U.S., Canada and internationally.
It has been tested in Canada, the
U.S., Central and South America, and
Africa and used in some of the most
extreme conditions and hostile
environments in the world. The patented
asymmetrically shaped hammock
supports your back like a quality
mattress off the ground. You will
wake
up in the morning feeling great. Some
owners of Hennessy Hammocks claim
that they come home from their adventure
feeling better than when they
left.
The Hennessy Hammock is just as a
comfortable for expeditions into the
Amazon jungle or on an African Safari
as it is in the back yard or out at
the cottage. The Hennessy Hammock
brings truly new features to camping
hammocks with a range of models for
every purpose - from the new racing
models weighing as little as 15 oz.(including
the support ropes,
bug-screen, and detachable rain-fly!)
to ultralite camping hammocks which
are still under 2 lbs.! Tall or large
campers and campers with injuries,
arthritis or bone spurs tell us about
finding their first night of comfort
in many years in the larger Explorer
or Safari Deluxe models.

ever there

hiking, kayaking, or bike trips
