Hennessy HammockSafari Deluxe XXL Series - Our Largest, Strongest and Roomiest Camping and Survival Shelters

Vid beställning gjorde jag en förfrågan om det var äkta Hennessy Safari xxl, svaret var ja. Beställde då 3 st.Leverans blev försenad ca 14 dagar. När väl leverans kom det endast 1 st. Det var en billig kopia och inte en Hennessy som lovat.

These are great quality hammocks but it just wasn't for me so I had to return it

My husband and I spent a total of 6 nights in this hammock, together, while backpacking in California. The whole setup is lightweight and about the size of an ultralight sleeping bag when all packed. The first night we didn't put our air mattresses in the bottom, and when the temperature dropped it was a bit cool on our backsides. We added the air mattresses when we woke up freezing, and that extra insulation made things perfect. It was about 55 Fahrenheit where we were. We are both little, about 250 lbs combined. We had plenty of room, but did slide toward the center so one of us always had an arm under the other, but we weren't too squished and slept comfortably. With it being asymmetrical, with the two of us in there it seemed like there were two pockets you can put your mass in comfortably, one on either side of center, and one closer to the head with the other closer to the foot. We probably should have slept with our heads in opposite directions, but I wasn't a fan of having his feet in my face after hiking all day, so we kept our heads at one end, but one of our butts was always about a foot farther down than the other, in the lower pocket. It was ok though, the offset meant one person's shoulders were level with the other's head rather than shoulder to shoulder and it made for more space. The only problem we had was that it's tough to keep the bedding from sliding toward the middle, so we had to keep fighting the sleeping bag back up under our shoulders, and the air mattresses had a tendency to slide under each other and down (we have the V blow up ones that fold down to nothing. Hennessy makes a heat reflecting pad, but not for the Safari model hammock, and the Hennessy one is bulkier because it's foil coated bubble wrap). Before the next trip, I plan to make a nylon sleeve for the air mattresses to go in so they don't overlap, and attach strings to that sleeve so we can attach them to the head of the hammock and prevent the down slide, similar to how the Hennessy reflective pads are set up. I'll probably add grommets to the sleeping bags also so I can use the same ties from the air mattresses to keep the sleeping bags from sliding down too. Overall, very comfortable. No back pain after 6 nights. The screen did it's job wonderfully and all materials held up well. The rainfly is great for blocking wind, and seems like it would keep rain off though we didn't test it. Great design.

I rarely take an item into the wilderness w/o testing it first, but a compressed schedule kept me from trying this out before taking off to the north woods. Since we were staying at a "fly-in" cabin, it was a luxury item and not strictly needed. We were under weight, so I tossed this hammock in thinking that with a crowded cabin it might be useful to cure "cabin fever".The set up was a snap. It was easy to find a likely pair of trees the appropriate distance apart. The setup w/ included straps was a quick, obvious and efficient. Within a few minutes it was set up and I was inside and chillin'.It quickly proved it's worth in the first day. The weather was hot and I set up the fly to catch what little breeze there was and funnel it towards the hammock while still providing shade. It was heaven compared to the cabin and quickly became a my favorite retreat from the heat. I spent the fist night in cool, happy bliss. The rest of the nights I put the fly back in a more standard position. Two rainstorms later and everything stayed dry.Entering and laying down comfortably was obvious and easy. The asymmetric layout allowed my to rest either on my back or side in complete comfort. One of my fellow campers found that she could sleep quite happily on her stomach and decided that she couldn't wait to buy one for her backyard. She enjoyed the spacious interior and was looking forward to chilling in one with her dog when she got home.The only downside I found was that while the screen kept the bugs out, they gathered around the tent at night (no real surprise, the north woods were about as bad with mosquitoes as I've seen) and the noise was tremendous. As I fell asleep the first night it didn't dawn on me, but the little buggers will bite through the tent material and screen. As you sleep, make sure you stay on top of your sleeping bag and don't lean against the screen if your surrounded by biting insects. ;-)I spent the rest of the trip (except one night I let my friend try it) sleeping outside instead of in the cabin and was quite happy to trade the indoor matress for the hammock. All-in-all I was quite satisfied. This little fellow is going to be along on all of my trips into the north woods.

Love it!
