Hi,
I am new here and to hammocking.

I picked up a Hennessy used and I haven't tried it out yet. I don't have tree straps for it so I am going to order some. I am thinking of having some made by Paul at Arrowhead and putting alluminum rings in one end for use with the garda hitch style and retrofitting with lighter suspension lines from Paul also.
Any one else have this setup?

Welcome to HammockForums from a fellow Floridian. Please come to our group hang the weekend of Jan 21. It's at Buck Lake in Ocala National Forest. About 30 folks will gather to car camp so that we can see each others setups and ideas. These group hangs are invaluable. Bring whatever you can but the main thing is to bring yourself. We not only share hammock knowledge but everything else related to enjoying the outdoors.
Here's the link ...
