Jon Friedrichs demonstrating
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

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.
This is great news for all those Hennessy Hammock owners who have been wishing that they could use their hammock as an open seat or lounger during the day.
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.
