I’m Cubmaster of a new Cub Scout pack. My 6 year old has his own hammock, and all the other kids are super awed that we use hammocks when we go camping. (So do quite a few parents that have never even heard of hammock camping) I’ve offered to let some of the scouts try it out on our trips, and the ones who have, have loved it. Problem is, they’re always using my personal set up. I’ve got no problem sharing with them at all, but at the moment, I only have one hammock to spare between them and my family.
I would like to set the pack up with a few of their own set ups, so that, in the future, everyone has a chance to learn and enjoy it. I’m having trouble deciding what to get them though. My sone has a Hennessy Scout, but I’m pretty much the only one who is knot savvy. I converted his to a whopper sling suspension, but that may be a little advanced for some people if I’m not around to guide them.
I’m looking for recommendations on what may work best for them. I don’t want to go too expensive. I would like to get at least three. One for an adult. Two for the kids. I would like to get something fully integrated like the Hennessy’s. The simpler it is for the kids and parents, the better. Is there a way to convert a Hennessy to a daisy chain suspension that still accomidates the rain fly other than whoopie sling? Or are there other set ups you would recommend?
