Hennessy Hammock Set-Up Test -- Pics

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

So I finally got to set-up the Hennessy Hammock I bought like a month ago.

I packed up the hammock and a summer weight sleeping bag in one bike pannier. I also stuffed a camera in there with a bit of room to spare. http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3j6z2/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/hh01.jpg

I buttoned up the bike bags and headed for the park.http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3j6z2/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/hh02.jpg

You get into the hammock by backing into it from the bottom and sitting down.http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3j6z2/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/hh09.jpg

After sitting down, your pull your legs up into the hammock and the opening snaps closed.http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3j6z2/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/hh10.jpg

Getting into the sleeping bag took a bit of squirming, but after I got in, it was quite comfy.http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3j6z2/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/hh12.jpg

The hammock back in its stuff-sack ready for the trip home.http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3j6z2/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/hh13.jpg
