    These are fantastic tents, particularly if you have any back issues. I put in ~30 nights a year in mine.

    Very carefully?
    There are snake skins you can get for the hammock so everything is contained in a tube while you rig it, and you just slide them up to get the hammock out, makes packing it up super easy too.

    Yea if you use the snake skins and descent rings/carabiner quick rigging technique, you can set it up straight from the stuffsack in under 2 minutes.

    Pretty slick system.

    Hennesey Hammocks made me LOVE camping again. No more waking up in a puddle, or having a rock or stick in your hip, making hiking the next day, painful. I can honestly say that since the first time I slept in a Hennesey Hammock I have NEVER wanted to get into a tent again. I get the best sleep, PERIOD. A group of us took them up to the Kootaneys earlier this year. There were reservations when we were seeing snow on the way up into the mountains. The next day the New-To-Hammocks folks ranted about them, and the great night of sleep.

    Anywhere but the dessert and above the tree line.

    The Hennessy system is pretty sweet if your in a forest.

    The Exped sleeping mats are amazingly light weight, compact and plush!
    Good insulation for cooler nights.
