No need to find a level campsite, or set up to avoid roots, rocks or puddles. The Hennessy Hammock™, now available in side-entry or double-bottomed models, provides comfortable, lightweight and portable shelter with virtually zero impact on the camping environment. It can be suspended off the ground as a bugproof enclosed bed or folded into a chair or lounger for relaxing around camp. Hammocks include attached mosquito netting, detachable rain fly, support ropes, tree huggers to protect the bark of trees, and a stuff sack with setup instructions. Used by tree planters in northern forests, mining and forestry field workers, forest fire fighters, emergency field hospitals, international disaster relief workers, and as survival equipment for military and SAR personnel, it is equally suitable for sports and recreational activities.
