I think that's the package i got, minus t-shirt. The hex fly is very useful to have, i keep it separate from the actual hammock which has the regular one. So if you have to set up while it's raining, you can put up the hex fly first at arm height above head to keep the rain off, then you can take your time to set up the hammock underneath at head height. Usually that works for me so that i can step in and out of it when it's hung properly. It's also useful as a shade next to your hammock in good weather.

Goodevening aardvark,

Thanks for the tip on Hennessy Hammocks, I am eager to try mine out when it arrives (no overnight though, to COLD here right now).

Is it as comfortable and quick to set up as the HH website discribes? Most input on the web (except the ultralighters) says that the larger fly is trhe way to go.

I was putting off buying one but then this Christmas deal came up so I ordered it; then my DW told me it would be a present from my folks and the deal got even better!

I've found it takes a bit more fiddling to get it right than what is shown on the video. They say 2 minutes. I don't think so.

Thanks HJ,

I am still waiting delivery, looking forward to trying it out but too cold to spend the night in the basic version (-18*c).

Hey,

The nice Post Office lady delivered my new Hennessy Hammock (Expedition ASYM) today with free Hex tarp and T-shirt, it feels like Christmas morning.

It is cold and windy outside though so I am going to try and set it up in the basement, my DW will think I am even crazier than normal!

Mike
