I've pretty much got one of everything Hennessy, including the water bottle fly trimmer. I'd call that a 10 on innovation and a 5 on design and implimentation. The threads don't fit every water bottle, so you've got to carry around extras. There is a filter to keep out the hard bits, but I'm still not sure I'd drink it afterwards.
Add that to the fact it makes for a neat hammock, but I tend to stealth camp so I'm in late, out early and neatness doesn't count 'cause no one sees me.
