Hello,

My first post. Be gentle!

I have a Hennessy Expedition A-sym that I've used only once. It's about 10 years old but in pristine condition as it's been stored inside. I intend to begin backpacking this spring. Starting with some overnight trips in the NC mountains followed by the Foothills Trail and, someday, the AT (or at least about 300 miles of it).

I'm interested in opins of those who have used Hennessy Hammocks.


1) Is this a suitable hammock for the trips I've described? I'm sure technology has changed but has it changed enough to warrant the expense of buying something different? If so, what?

2) Does the "Super Shelter" work well?

3) Is the standard rain fly large enough or should I invest in something larger?

4) Quilt vs. sleeping bag? Go! Interested in make/model recommendations.

Ready to do this!
