What kind of hammock(s) do you use? Multiple choices allowed. Poll coming.

Homemade top loading.

Been hanging in my Hennessy Explorer Deluxe for about three years now. It has served me very well.

im new to hammocks but so far i love my hh

I've used the Henney Desert Rat (comparable in size to the Explorer Deluxe) and am now using a Homemade Top Loader.

I have a JRB Bridge hammock too, but haven't had an opportunity to try it out yet.

Curious to find out how you will like the bridge. I've used several different hammocks and the JRB bridge is far away my favorite. No side torque and fetal curl issues to deal with. No pad buckling cause it has a pad pocket.
Sleeping on my back with arms across my chest is pure bliss.

I use a Hennessy in warm buggy weather and a setup like this

Oh, Frolicking one,

Doesn't ENO stand for Eagle's Nest Outfitters?
It seems to me that you have a duplicate on your choices list.

**HikerRanky** · 02-10-2008, 02:12

A recent convert to the hammocking lifestyle here, but I absolutely LOVE my Hennessey Explorer Deluxe!!!

Never could stand the Hennessy. Don't know which was worse, the entry or the permanent bug netting. But I love my ENO, even if I did have to rig my own bug net to ward off unwanted visitors in buggy areas. Sooo much better than sleeping on the ground and waking up all stiff and sore.

I still have nightmares about the Hennessy hammock. Almost made me abandon the idea of hammocking at all.

HH ULB, 3 years running. See no reason to change.

**peter_pan** · 02-10-2008, 09:53

Over the years I've used or tried about every model out there.... Just posted the ones actually bought, and are still in the gear locker as loaners.....Current model of choice is the BMBH.

I really like the idea of the pad pocket myself too. I'm not much for sleeping in one position all night. I generally have to switch it up or risk not being able to move the next morning for hours. So far it has been easier in my top loader than the HH, and I'm thinking the bridge would be even easier.

I keep meaning to take it out to out "testing" area and at least set it up in the backyard on one of these warmer days, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Bring it on Dino.

Let's see, camping hammocks I've used:

Hennessy Deluxe Explorer Asym
Traveller UL
ENO Single
ENO Double
TrekLight Double

I had to choose 'other' because the greatest hammock of all wasn't on the list. The hammock I am using for my thru is the mighty: Warbonnet! Not yet available at a store near you.

**YeOldeBackpacker** · 02-10-2008, 12:22

I've used the Travel Hammock Skeeter Beeter Pro and their A.T. Hybrid.
I like both for what they are, I've used both Hiking and Kayaking The A.T. Hybrid can be used as a multi set up unit, Tarp,rain fly, hammock, footprint Bivy etc.. it weighs in at 16 ozs. and cost around $70.00

**Doctari** · 02-11-2008, 10:29

I use a Traveller. The one with the mosquito netting.

I like them all tho.

BTW, you list ENO twice (Eagles nest AND Eno)
