I am soon to purchase an ENO sleep system. It will save me around 100 bucks a week. I drive 100 miles one way to fish somewhere at least 5 days a week. My car is small and a tent and all that would go with that is out of the question. A hammock system seems perfect. I just need a place to sleep. I am getting the ENO at REI..if I don't like it I can always get my money back. They also sell the Hennessy system so I am sure someone will chime in on which one is better. I have camped a lot and rain has always been the culprit. At age 59 I just don't like dealing with wet sleeping quarters anymore. I have read many threads on this forum and have done a lot of research on hammock systems and rain and blowing rain. Everyone says if the fly is draped correctly rain is no problem. I can see that a straight down rain would not be a problem and I can also see that a blowing rain from either side would not be a problem but for the life of me could someone please tell me how a blowing rain from end to end is not a problem with a hammock system. I have looked at dozens of pics on this forum...and other places....from folks who say they have never had a problem with blowing rain. But looking at all the pics of correctly setup hammocks I don't see how a rain cannot blow in to one coming from end to end...meaning blowing the direction of the ridge line. I have never seen a hammock setup other than in photos so maybe without the 3d visual I am missing something. Could someone please explain? By the way seems like a great forum.
