to anyone else considering a hammock,
Hennessy hammocks ordered on line are currently receiving free snakeskins, and some models are on sale including the 1 pound 10 ounce hyperlite.
Let us know how you find the hammock. The only thing I'm not sure about with mine is that the stock fly is small and I'm worried it won't be enough coverage in a heavy rain - especially if it's windy as well. It may be just fine, but I'd be happier if it was about 25% bigger. I may end up getting the bigger fly, but I'll keep using the stock one until I have the opportunity to evaluate it fully.
