You may also want to check out www.speerhammocks.com. Ed Speer makes hammocks and also sells kits to make your own. I made my own. It worked really well. He also has another site, www.hammockcamping.com, that offers a lot of information and ideas about hammocks.

Originally posted by NickfromWI I can't comment on how you were treated by the people at hennessey, but I have to say I agree with their point. They design their hammocks for use a few feet off the ground.
Yes, they are a backpackers-only kind of tent. They are lightweight and rather fragile compared to other hammock tents. The bottom opening is a rather silly gimmick. But, the transverse angle at which you lay is pretty comfortable, as it is pretty much flat. I like mine, but I don't consider it a serious hammock tent. And yes, I have used it climbing, but only once where the setup was perfect: a flatish limb right under the hammock to stand on allowed me to enter the tent like I would on the ground.
