My Hennessey Hammock has been my go to camping shelter for 4 years. This Jungle Explorer Zip model is my new favorite. It has a bug net, a rain fly and the double bottom is as warm as an underquilt with the optional double bubble radiant pad.

Bryan...As a retiree for past ten years and being pleasure oriented was looking a more comfort oriented system. Based on your review I ordered the Deep Jungle XL double bottom along with pad, snake skins etc and should arrive any day. Looking forward to the experience and your clear, concise demonstration, endorsement is what pushed me to give it a go. Will let you know how I fair out down the road. Thanks again. Lou

Thanks for showing us how to put the pad in, I was throwing mine inside, and even clipped in it still slid around a bit. And you are correct, this is one of - if not THE best - camping purchases I ever made. And the snakeskins are definitely the icing on the cake. I’m usually rigged up and off to help the Scouts and other Scout Leaders setup before they even figure out how to put their spider web of poles together, much less their tents up. Takedown with the snakeskins is even faster. It’s also by far the most comfortable camping experience ever, no more bumps and sore spots and I’ve been surprised to wake up with ice on the ground and rain fly. I didn’t know it was that cold because I was nice and toasty inside. The Scouts who had fully zipped up their tents to stay warm actually had ice INSIDE their tests from the condensation from breathing building up. Not a problem with the separate hammock and rain fly and all the ventilation between.

i know this comment was over 3 years ago but youre so right they are so good ive littleraly just bought one i think it was the jungle expedition zip but from what youre saying im expecting a super good hammock. I also bought the double buble reflective body pad thingy with it hopefully im gonna be able to stay out all year round ( ive had hammocks before and they were like 40£ but they were still good for the price but this one is gonna be better then any ive ever had )

I have had the older style of Hennesy Hammock since 2008. I have the old style separate "supershelter" bottom with a light foam pad for cold weather . I have slept comfortably a few degrees below zero. For temps this low - you need something like the supershelter or bubble pad underneath you as the insulation in you bag gets flattened against the nylon you are laying on reducing it it's insulating ability , with cold air blowining past your back and butt! This new version with the zipper and double bottom looks great. As usual Brian gives an honest and reliable review

I had the older version too until some bozo broke into my truck, but I didn't have the super shelter pad (or any other cold weather accessories). So I can't compare but I can say this one has kept me warm in some pretty cold temps as configured in this video along with an Outdoor Vitals 20 degree underquilt.

I have the Explorer XL, 4 Season Explorer XL, Ultralight Backpacker. I also use a pad in the hammock in 20F or bellow. All I use too, down to any temp -20F is usually as low as it gets here. The 4 Season with insulation, a pad, and good -40F/C bag and it's not problem. Boots freeze outside, but that's unavoidable whatever shelter you use. Except maybe a hot tent, which is not packable for distance.

I use a Dutch Ware 11' hammock with whoopie sling suspension, a dyneema ridge line and tree straps I make myself from Mule Tape. I triple fold the Mule Tape ends into a loop, stitch it solid and use heat shrink over the stitching. I use a toggle in a knot learned from Shug to hold the whoopie slings. It is an awesome setup. Under quilt and tarp above. Really comfortable, small and light to pack.

Another youtuber (Shug) made the suggestion of putting a bight length of cord and tie it to your bug net zipper. You ensure the cord is laying inside your hammock and when you are laying in, you can just pull the cord to pull the zipper without needing to bend over.

I've owned the Ultralite Explorer Classic for over 2 years now, and I have no plans of ever going back to tents. When paired with the gigantic hexfly sold by Hennessey not only will you stay dry in a downpour w/ substantial gusts, but you can create a spacious work area while still keeping your gear/bed bone dry. Now I realize that the price tag on a Hennessey is likely to scare most people away (my setup for example was $300+), but for someone who already knows they enjoy sleeping in hammocks Hennessey can provide a tremendously durable product that will be enjoyed year after year.

I've had my Hennessey Explorer Asym Zip for over 3 years now. Love it. would never go back to tents. I should have got the jungle one though, since it has the double bottom, and the sleeve for the bubble pad. The bubble pad is a bit annoying if you have it right under you..... I use the climbing rings and carabiner method to hang the hammock. Its super fast and I havent noticed any wear to the ropes.... I have some 550 paracord tied to the zipper so its easier to close once I get in. otherwise trying to reach that zipper once your in can be a bit of an annoyance...... Happy you're enjoying your's Brian. Great video.

Spotted your video after deciding a hammock was the way to go, visiting the Hennessey site and specing out almost exactly the set-up you have (larger rain fly for the motorcycle or the kayak-gear). Unfortunately I will have a bit of a wait due to current 'supply-chain-issues' in these trying times. Thanks for an excellent explanation and 'demo'.

Thanks for your video. Had my Hennessey jungle safari zip for a few months now and couldn't be happier. Reaching the zips was an issue, so attached some luminous paracord. Made it easy to find at night and easy to zip/unzip. I keep the fly seperate so it can be washed when the wildlife decide to add dropping on it. Which has happened.

I wanted one (two actually - one for my son too), but alas, this year has been rough on all stores, at least in Canada. So I bought two expedition zip with the larger tarp, snakeskins thrown in for free and 42" tree savers. The non-tent adventure begins. I may still bring the North Face expedition tent that has done me well for decades for car camping. We are even considering using these instead of regular beds... cleaning underneath would be so much easier! Thanks for the excellent review.

It may take you a couple of times to figure out how tight you like it but I have been using Hennessey Hammocks for at least 7 years and I am never going back to tents unless there is no way to hang a hammock.

I love mine! I got the larger square rain fly, because I like to keep my gear underneath. When it’s hot, I put poles at each corner to hold it up for the best ventilation possible. I use the tent stake method for tying up the main line, so when I take down, all I have to do is to pull the stakes out, & it all comes apart.

Great review, I love my Deep Jungle XL which is almost identical to your hammock. One thing I do differently is not pulling the suspension ropes quite as tight as you do. It puts less strain on the trees and all the hammock parts but more importantly, it helps with keeping the tarp stretched out better once you enter the hammock. I don’t necessarily do the 30 degree sag angle I do for other hammocks but at least a 20 degree sag.

Going to try one with the Military Sleep System but with a twist others have found works better for extreme cold temps. It is recommended to take the bivy and place a space blanket in as the first outer layer inside the bivy then the extreme cold bag inside the space blanket and as follows the inner sleeping bag. This is said to really work well in extreme cold temps. Now I bought for the purpose from Amazon a Utool 83" x 59" 3 layer padded rip stop aluminized Mylar with 90% heat reflective heavy duty emergency blanket. About $17. Being short lol sometimes has it's advantages. The Utool blanket has eyelets in the corners and has many additional uses if needed. Rolls down to about 3.5" x 16" and being water proof and about 1 lb I strapped it on top of the back pack. If it works which I think it will the cumbersome Hannessy foil blanket between the layers can be left at home. Something to consider as I've seen in the past you have everything and have tried several systems.

Not a drop of water and the lines never came loose. I use the climbing rings with a carabiner for easy setup. With all the ants, mosquito's and other creepy crawlies we have no bugs have ever got in.

very good video about the HH jungle explorer model set up. I recently bought a HH Expedition Asym Zip because it was affordable. I'm looking at placing a swatch of fabric between my backside & the hammock to foil them pesky skeeters from penetrating. If it isn't storming, I'm not adverse to hanging a Thermocell device under the hammock some way. A long time past I used an Army jungle hammock for canoe camping but the old Duck canvas hammocks were sort of hefty.

Bought the exact same hammock just received and set it up the only thing I didn't like was the tree huggers they were to short and I had to order 🐍 skins separate !! The hammocks are a bit pricey !! But I think the skins should be incorporated in the deal !!

They have different length tree huggers. And sometimes you can get free snakeskins, I guess it depends on whether or not they are running a promotion. At the end of the day I think you'll be glad you bought it and after using it a few times you won't think about the cost. I 100% like mine.

Brian, can you sleep on your side in a hammock? I'm 78 yrs. old and don't know if i can sleep in a valley all night. Love the idea of a hammock and rain fly and off the ground. Would hate to invest in a hammock and not be able to use it. You do a great job on you videos.. A+ Rating haha

The mesh on my Ultralite Explorer lets a nice breeze blow through, so I would assume all Hennessey hammocks allow good airflow.

+Feral Woodcraft The mesh breathes very well for me but, like any hammock, the nylon you lie on doesn't breathe much. A couple of years ago at Summer Camp I used a battery powered fan and hung it from the support line inside.

I used a Hennessy hammock for the first time this weekend and found the only position uncomfortable was on my stomach I will say you definitely need some sort of pad underneath you though The temp got to 3 degrees centigrade and even sleeping in a ex military bevy bag as well it got cold I have now ordered the pad and snake skins to complete my set up

Unfortunately Amazon don't stock or ship these hammocks within Canada so you have to deal direct from the manufacturer. As such you don't have Amazon 100% satisfaction guarantee. You also have to pay import and customs fees yourself.

This was one of the best Hammock reviews I have watched. It sounds like Hennessy has stepped up their game. I would have put Warbonnet blackbird XLC as my grail hammock but I have to say this one is equally good. Just a few differences but still top end. Have you tried the blackbird? It the Jungle explorer long enough for a "6"4 guy? The slight advantage the Blackbird seems to have is the extra room in the foot box. Well and that they come in a larger size. Does the Hennessy do OK for side sleepers? It is asymmetrical so I would think it would be good in that regard.
@Aaron_Jensen
@Aaron_Jensen 8 жыл бұрын
Multiple hammocks from Hennessey offer around 7ft of space, and I believe their jungle hammocks fall into that category. Now when it comes to being a side sleeper in a Hennessey the opinions vary from one person to another. Personally speaking I've never been uncomfortable whilst sleeping on my side in the Ultralite Explorer classic, but what I really enjoy is the fact that I can fall asleep on my back. Which is something that is rarely accomplish for me in a bed.

Let me ask, looks like your back is really bent, if you try to sleep on your side, any problems? Also, where do you put your boots, clothes to keep them from getting wet, if it rains? Thanks.
