Hennessy Hammock Expedition Asym Zip Review

Hennessy has a great product here, it's asymmetrical design is perfect for a flat and comfortable lay with an underquilt or a sleeping pad. The prepackaged rainfly leaves something to be desired, and the whole system could benefit greatly with a set of webbing and buckles.
Hennessy Expedition: amzn.to/2FgG0Du
I recommend you not buy the classic version! It's hard to use if you want to use it with an under-quilt at some point.

I used this hammock in the Amazon Rain Forest with moderated rainfalls, and can say it was perfect. I was easy to carry into the jungle, find a place to setup and crazy usefull in wet lands! It was not easy to buy in Ecuador, so It was a bit expensive to me. However was the best investment I made. Thank you for the review!

The Hex Fly is bigger then the one that comes with the hammock. I have a Explorer Deluxe and later order the Hex Fly.. Mine is a bottom entry but I had a full zipper installed. Hennessey makes a great product. The only bad thing about hammock camping is that one is never enough. I now own 5 different ones which each I use at different times of the year. No more tents for me. Good review, Thanks for sharing. Enjoy & be safe !

The mysterious loops inside are for holding their sleeping pad in place. The bungee inside is for holding back the mesh when it is not needed. You lower the mesh, run that bungee over it, then run the spreader bungee through the internal bungee. Now the bug mesh is out of the way completely, and the skies are wide open. Bonus Easter egg: the hammock bag will hold a pair of shoes. Then you can hang it from one of the hooks and not mess up the interior. I love my Henny.

Great review, I have watched a number of other reviews on this hammock, but you included details that others left out. This helped me make up my mind on which hammock to buy. I've ordered the Hennessy Expedition Zip version, but customized the order to include the Silnylon hex rainfly (on sale) to give me more space under the shelter to store my gear and to chill out under when it is raining (I always pack a Helinox camp chair).

I had the Velcro bottom entry model of this hammock and it took a little getting used to. I damaged it and replaced it with a zip model. I highly recommend buying the six point replacement fly for these hammocks. It is a more reassuring feeling to have it during a rain storm. You can still use the issued fly to protect other equiptment such as your backpack, cooler or generator with it.

The elastic strap at the left side of the hammock (the zipper is intended to be on your right side so your body doesn't put as much weight in the zipper) can also be used to hold the bug net out of the way if you clip it to the o rings on the outside left side. Also the tree will be fine as long as the xylem is not injured 360 degrees.

@wolf1066 9 ай бұрын

17:11 - even on a "normal" hammock, you'd be angling yourself diagonally across it to lie flat. I do take your point that a rectangular sleeping pad will tend to "self-centre" and force you to lie longitudinally rather than diagonally - that's why it's important to have either a specially shaped pad or an underquilt that will enable you to lie diagonally across the hammock.

I have the Expedition ASYM (at least 7 years) and it has changed my camping experience dramatically. Easy set up and take down. He's right about the rain fly, so I have added a Kelty Noah's Tarp to my backpack inventory and solved the shelter problem. This is the best hammock sleeping system due to the design, which allows you to sleep on your back, your side or even your stomach (sort of). I camp 15 -20 days per year.

Another good video. I have the same hammock in the classic (enter from below) style. It does take getting used to, but I kinda like it. I still have the stock tarp and it does suffice, but you are right about not having any room to spare. It has kept me dry in down pours, but just. I also have a 10 x 10 tarp that I use from time to time, but its weight makes me leave it at home on long trips. I have replace the original line with whoopie slings and I think it makes my set up easier. I use Byer Amazonas Microrope instead of the straps and they are billed as tree friendly and I haven't had a tree complain yet, but they really increase the amount of trees that will work with the set up. Anything I want to take into the hammock with me is usually in a small dry bag which I just clip to the ridge line. Works for me. I even put my food bag there sometimes. Shhhh, don't tell the bears...

@brianwhippie2264 9 жыл бұрын

I agree, the stock fly is very small. I'm thinking about removing it from the hammock and putting it up on its own ridgeline so I can, at least hang it lower to the hammock. Your thoughts? I prefere a 'cozier' feel while in the hammock anyway. I may remove it and not even carry it....just use a silnylon tarp.

Brian Whippie When I used a bowline knot on either end of this hammock, and ENO atlas straps (I found the webbing straps to be too small for a few trees I wanted to use on multiple trips so I started bringing my other straps) I tied some guyline to either end of the fly and then to the trees (seperate from the hammock suspension) I have since changed over to a Warbonnet Edge tarp for 3 season use, and I will probably use my ENO profly tarp for colder applications.

If you were to buy a new hammock now, with what you know... Would you purchase this hammock? Or have you learnt of a better hammock system since this video? Also, I'm guessing. For comfort sleeping. No hammock would be comfortable with 2 ppl sleeping in it?! Just an educated guess, I haven't done any hammock camping before. So any advice is welcomed. FYI I've done plenty of camping though.

It may be too late but... I bought a Hennesy Hammock bottom entry about 2 years ago and it’s been great. I recently bought a zip model about 2wks ago. Haven’t been in but for a couple of hours but it appears to be just as good as the other model. The rain fly that he complained about, is just big enough to cover the hammock but if you customize your order, for $10 more you can get a hex rainfly. Which I recommend. I agree with your guess in 2 people not being comfortable in the same hammock. I’m not sure how that’s possible but I’ve never tried it.

It's obvious from this video that I would need to replace the stupid suspension system and get a decent-sized tarp - on top of the cost of an already expensive hammock... it's more expensive than a Ticket To The Moon Lightest Pro hammock, which already comes with a far superior suspension system (and adjustable structural ridgeline with gear organiser).

Hex tarp is their next larger tarp with six connection points and stock is just an asym tarp. Adding an adjustable ridgeline will let you shorten the hammock to get more coverage from an asym tarp.

+blasko229 Very observant yes it was a poison ivy vine that killed the tree the year before.

What is your favorite Hammock tent

Not a hammock tent (those are silly) but I like my Dream Hammock Darien.

What rain fly did you buy and return and why?

@FrozensAdventures 9 жыл бұрын

I returned the hexfly (hennessyhammock.com/catalog/products/hex_rainfly_70d_polyester/) because it felt flimsy, was heavy, did not have linelocks like my ENO profly, the guylines were very low quality so they needed to be replaced, and it felt a little too big for my tastes (too much coverage, and for $80 there are better tarps out there, check out warbonnet Edge (www.warbonnetoutdoors.com/edge/)

Do you know if all their hammocks come with mosquito nets?

@FrozensAdventures 6 жыл бұрын

To my knowledge they do and are all integrated.

what was the sleeping pad u said u had that worked good?

@FrozensAdventures 4 жыл бұрын

Thermarest neoair xtherm. Don't get the mummy though. If you want something for warmer weather get the xlite. Also if you have an REI or outdoor store near you a ton of people are exommending the Nemo tensor

is it not a simple ordinary low profile tent is easier?

@FrozensAdventures 4 жыл бұрын

Tents are definitely easier. But I find hammocks more comfortable.

in case anyone sees this...is the ridge line supposed to be tight as a banjo string?

@FrozensAdventures 7 жыл бұрын

+roosterinboro nope but some people do prefer that lay. I like my ridgeline able to be bent with 2 fingers while I am in the hammock. Raise your suspension and loosen your angle

yes, if you want the whole asymmetrical thing to function as advertised.

does this come with the snakeskins or order separate?

@FrozensAdventures 7 жыл бұрын

+Kyle Tweed they are separate but sometimes when you order directly from Hennessy they do come with it. It will be listed on the website.

If you can afford it, Warbonnet Outdoors makes great hammocks and large flies

@richarddextraze111 6 жыл бұрын

YOu can exchange for a larger fly when you order, or buy the larger one separately.

6:24 I agree, I bought this hammock for 180.oo canadian dollars, (snake skins included with caribeaners etc..) I can't adjust that rig line...mine is always slacking, Very dissappointed with there shitty customer service. No help there. I am so frustrated with getting help , so I cut the rig line off...and modifyed my own for a couple of trips. All my other hammock camper friends thought this hammock was a waste of money, for our weekend trips. On my 2nd camping outing....The cheap plastic clips borke on the tarp , with heavy winds.. ...and I have decided to buy the Warbonnet hammock next..no more Hennessey for me or my friends. I gave my Hennessey to the neighbours kid to play with, in his tree fort. didn't last long under his time..lol

Wow that is surprising i called one time and Tom Hennessey picked up the phone. My son broke a clip on his SCOUT zip and he sent one no problems for free. I tried there super shelter one time and I tore it, they took it no questions asked.
