I purchased a Hennessy Hammock after witnessing Pondero's setup. I had doubts about sleeping in a hammock that might force me to sleep in a U shape but the Hennessy mitigates this with its asymmetrical design and I add a thermarest pad as an insulating base that seems to help as well. I like being cool when I sleep, but I've been surprised to find that I prefer the insulation for all but the hottest weather (in the mid-atlantic US).
If you don't have a Hennessy but your hammock is wide enough for you to get a bit diagonal in it so that your head and toes point off-center from your anchor points you may find that you can sleep a bit flatter. My task for my next night out in the Hennessy is to sort out how to set it up on the ground if I ever find myself without appropriate trees. -Jeff Silver Spring, MD On Wed, May 30, 2018 at 1:53 PM, Pondero <cj.spin...@gmail.com> wrote: > I use a Hennessy Hammock, and it is designed for a lie that is bit flatter > because it is angled relative to the line between the end supports.
