Thank you! Glad it was helpful

Danke schön. Wo bist du denn in Deutschland? Ich hab drei Jahre in Braunschweig gewohnt und bei VW gearbeitet. Ich bin auch Vater in Deutschland geworden, da mein erster Sohn Peter in der Frauen Klinikum in Braunschweig geboren ist.

Ha, die Welt ist klein. Komme aus Finnentrop. Liegt im Sauerland bei Olpe. 300km südwestlich.@@35andRetired

@@35andRetired had a comfortable weekend trip sleeping in the hammock last weekend - very useful tips

Glad it was helpful!

@@35andRetired Seriously took so many notes and tried few hitches, many things I never taught of. Really glad you're making these sorts of videos as it'll make things so much more smooth in the coming days

Makes me very happy to read this! I thought the published videos on Hennessey Hammocks were a bit lacking...and I understand that Hennessey themselves want to be careful not to over publish and intimidate people...but I thought that after more than a decade of use, I might be able to offer setup 2.0 tips :)

How tragic of me. I’m gonna shut down my channel now. 😂😉

You're welcome! I hope you have a good hammocking experience!

@35andRetired Thanks you so much I really do appreciate that.

I got the 13 EEEE, i thought that was tough. Saves on water skis, eh?

Hey! Not sure I understood if you were asking a question or just a comment. The ??? threw me off. Did you have a specific question?

@@35andRetired strangely yes a question mark means a q

Never owned a whirlwind model so not sure the answer to your question. Take care

Howdy! I think that if you feel cramped in a regular gathered end, you would probably feel cramped in this too. The mosquito netting gives a "ceiling" feeling which makes the whole thing feel even smaller than an open hammock. The hammock itself does not have an asymmetrical cut, it just has o-rings and pull outs at certain locations to make it "lay" as if it were asymmetrical. The rainfly itself does indeed have an asymmetrical cut. I am a 1/4 inch short of 6', weigh 165 lbs and I would not say it feels spacious, but I am ok with that. You could look at their website as they have several that are for taller folks and would feel more spacious. Regarding the zippers, take a look at "locking zippers" from the company YKK in Asia. They feature a small lever which holds tension on the zipper coils to keep it "locked". That is probably the difference you notice from one zipper slider to another. In any case, these hammocks have normal, non locking zippers they operate like you are describing.

@@35andRetired Thanks for the info about the zipper. I’ve been watching several videos today, and have since found out that they do indeed have different sizes and some are asymmetrical some aren’t. I’m ok with my current set up, a DD double bottom one. It can be set up on the ground as a sort of bivy, or hammock. I got woopy slings for it, and a decent tarp. I was just starting to think about something that I can lay a bit flatter on. Like I’ve learned to hang it with about a 30deg angle, use a mat between the two layers, and lay a bit diagonal, and it’s pretty good. It’s just a bit short, and I end up with my face in the mesh. I dunno, I’ll probably keep it for a while longer. Maybe look into a bridge hammock or asym next year. Just bought a family tent, and some mats, so money is a little tight for experimenting right now
