Heya Group!... first time poster and my first Hammock-tent experience... Hopefully I can learn from you all!
So... I'm looking at small backpack excursions 1-4 days moderate climate - Southern Coast BC, Canada - the coldest I'd probably be out would be springtime/fall at lowest 10 degrees Celsius and normal summer temps. I'm really interested in trying the Hennessy experience, but I don't really know what to get.
- I'm 6'3 and about 230 pounds, moderate camping/hiking experience so the Explorer Deluxe and Deep Jungle XL seem to be my options...
- I live in rain forest country so the large Hex Fly Tarp seems appropriate. Question: Do you all recommend a separate snakeskin for the larger fly particularly if its often wet?
- What's the main difference between the Deep Jungle and Explorer Deluxe? It appears to be the double bottom for inserting the bubble pad or other insulation, correct? Is this worth the nearly $70 difference in price? I'm in mosquito country - is the Explorer & Ultralight really so thin that you can be bit through?
- As a first time Hennessy buyer, what do you guys recommend I start my experience with? Price is not a huge factor... functionality and weight are more important to me. So that also leads to your collective thoughts between the Explorer Deluxe and Ultralight! So many questions for this Noob... sorry!
Thank you group! I'm looking forward to your wisdom and advice and sharing my experience! I'm sure I will have more questions along the way.
