red feather 10 Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Any suggestions on how to hammock camp successfully? Link to post Share on other sites
Lippoeowl 10 Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Hennesey hammock is a good one. Check out at: http://www.hikinghq.net/gear/hennessey_assym_hammock.html#Tip%201 Also check out archives at: http://www.backpacking.net/bbs.html You need one per scout but if you contact Hennesey he may have seconds or make you a deal. The smaller "Scout" model will work well for younger scouts. I wouldn't reccommend for winter camping. Hope this helps. YIS : L-Owl Link to post Share on other sites
rlculver415 10 Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Back when, Husband used to camp with a hammock when he was a Scout. (He's the one who told me about it) He says it's better than any tent. Naturally, look for one that has mosquito netting and a fly. Sometimes it comes all in one piece - like my hubby's did, but all I've seen has the fly separate (which I personally prefer). The hennessey website is real good - they even offer info on the competition's hammocks, as well as how to set up camp. Link to post Share on other sites
hops_scout 9 Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Sportsmansguide.com has hammocks which are supposed to be made after the GI issue. Link to post Share on other sites
