Hey! Is that a Hennessy Hammock t-shirt that guy is wearing?

The great thing about motorcycles and Hennessy Hammocks is that they both encourage spontaneity and adventure. With this combo, you can take off knowing that you always have a shelter with you in case you decide to stop for the night. The low key colors make it possible to camp unobtrusively and the fast set-up time means you don't have to start planning hours ahead for a place to sleep.

Takes much less space than a tent and without the problem of the poles, but that's far from the most important characteristic. The setup instructions, especially the knot diagram on the bag seem confusing and unnecessary, now that I'm used to setting it up. The fact is it takes a minute to set up, oonce you've chosen the trees or whatever you're going to hang it on. After wrapping the flat strap around the tree, several slipknots each end and it's done. It has to be visible horizontal when up for even slim trees are strong enough. It's so fast I often stop in the strangest places, with the best views, even on steep slopes to take a nap and continue the drive when rested. From the start, I've used snakeskins. people who watch as I set up or leave are impressed at the ease and speed, as well as the small size of the packed hammock.

I feel the most important advantage is the view. You can hardly ever pick a place to set up a tent with the kind of views you can when setting up a hammock. Sometimes, if it's close to dark, I'll start looking out for beautiful places, next to some farmhouse or home. I knock and ask people if I can set my hammock up on their land, pointing to whatever spot I like. They always say yes, though they can get curious. Some places here are truly infested with mosquitoes. They can bite even through the cloth, so it is important to have more than one layer between mosquito country outside and your body. Other than that, one is completely protected and still sleeping out under the moon and stars, in view of the sea or mountains. The motorcycle is also dark green and thus makes everything basically disappear from sight.

For motorcycling, camping and travel in warm climates, it seems to me these hammocks are not just a good added component to gear, but more like a travel style transformer. Today I rarely keep driving when tired and thus enjoyt each trip more. It's save me a lot of money on hotels, because it's much easier to stop and camp safely, next to some farm and without affecting nature or anyone. -Dr. Rolando Montano Fraire

Hello. I bought three hammocks from you guys over the past few years and we love them. I was looking around on the website today and much to my surprise came across a photo I sent in. It is a photo of the hammock hanging from the Alaska pipeline when my husband Nat Baldwin and my son Levi Baldwin began their 6 month motorcycle trip from Prudoe Bay, Alaska to South America. I was so stoked to see the photo on your site. They used the hammocks all the way down the Americas and they were awesome. My guys ran into a lot of backpack and cycle travelers on their trip and everyone wanted their Hennessy Hammocks. Hopefully we generated some business for ya. We are huge Hennessy fans.

The hex fly is a popular choice for motorcycle campers because it provides shelter not only for your hammock but your bike as well.
