Hennessy Hammock // Jungle Expedition Zip // SETUP + REVIEW
มุมมอง 34K4 ปีที่แล้ว
edit SnakeSkins are for the hammock AND the rain fly, not just the fly. Also, to be on the safe side, best not to put a wet fly inside the SnakeSkins as mold may occur.

Me at 5'11''' 245 lbs =(
Thanks!
Thank You for the excellent video and explanation of the product.
I'm 6'1 and I don't want to get the XL size because of the cost in price and weight. How tall are you and do you think I could get away with the average large size?
buddy the whole thing goes in the SnakeSkin(that's the purpose of it) for easy deploy, etc.
Thank you for the great video!!! Very helpful! One question, is it normal that my hammock sinks down when I get in? I set it up at eye level, and I'm kind short, when I get in I can feel my butt on the ground. Should I just tie it higher or maybe my strings were not tight enough??
try the thirty degree angle set up , thumb straight up toughing suspension line index finger straight out at 90 degrees touching suspension line , if this lines up and you are still dragging on ground raise up Tre straps higher
Do you still use this hammock?? At 6'1", would I be to tall for this hammock?? Klymit should sew another layer so an air mattress can be inserted..
Klymit has their own hammock sleeping pad that fits this hammock. I sleep many nights in that hammock with and without their sleeping pad. Have sleeped out down to 15f with down quilts.😊😊
thank, you for you're video. 🇺🇸
great video on mine I keep the snake skins over both the hammock and fly so its all combined into one small package I also have a hex fly but in order to use that it has to have its own set of snake skins I had the velcro version expedition and hated it I might add the 4 season super shelter was worthless and a waste of money for really cold weather camping
Great review.
Hello I have the scout with the double bubble pad have only used it once over night and found I kepted slipping off the pad all the time unless I layed on my back and didn’t move which for me is impossible so Iam going to sell it ,cheers for the great vid😀
You are an excellent reviewer. Thank you.
I have to drive 196 miles tomorrow to pick up my safari XXL deluxe before my trip, you're gleeful joy in the hammock makes me so excited! camping is awesome :)
Seems I got ripped off!!! I had bought the original asymetric jungle hammock for 450$ about idk 8 years ago, it has the sanke skins and big net, but doesnt have a built in Ridgeline, and all the little orings and hooks. I bought the extra large tarp, have the original, also bought the water catchment funnels for the tarp. Its a very noce hammock, but I see I massively over paid, and bought directly from Hennessy...kinda bumbed that I got ripped off, now that their only like 270-300 as opposed to the 500+ I paid....
Requires 3 nicely space trees, with few to no branches to a height of 8-10ft.
Great overview, thanks!
I just got mine thinking it would be good to have it bigger as I am a single bloke. I have set it up once and it was really lopsided with only my 80 kg frame in it. Your video here looks like its flat when you jump in just by yourself.. I gather I did not pitch it right. Wondering whether I should have brought the UNA. I tried putting gear in one side to flatten it out. I like the extra space though. Please tell me it can be pitched flat, Cheers. Great Video thanks.
Hello, any news? I want to buy it just for myself too
That figure 8 knot tie up from Hennessy is just like in the old stone age, who got time for that?
Holy cow! Your dog's eye in the thumbnail looks like in zombie mode... LOL
Thanks for the review . I just ordered one , can't wait to try it out .... Thanks
There was a wolf behind you bud!
This man pulled off an almost unheard of feat on TH-cam: he made a video that was well shot, instructive, clear, concise and not annoying. Thank you, good sir. I would follow you into battle. (No, I'm not military. I'm a guitar player. I'm jus sayin") :)
Exactly why I subscribed just now!
its not spacious at all for 180cm person! you are squeezed in there
So, coming up on a year, what's you opinion of it now?
Very helpful video!
My dog is around the same size what size did you get it in?
We got the medium and it fits perfectly!
I'm using the -5 UQ with a onewind double layer hammock, ECOTEK Hybern8 4 season pad, and a onetigris down TQ, all in a onewind sock. I strap it all to my MTB and go into the Massachusetts wilderness as late as a modestly cold Dec. The UQ is nice, light but HUGE. A down UQ would be a great upgrade but no value oriented brands have one ATM.
would the divider in the middle make it hard to snuggle?
Hi Jasper! Great question! My wife and I were wondering the same thing - I wouldn't exactly say hard to snuggle...but maybe a little less comfortable to sleep in that position. The divider helps guide either person's body into a little pocket away from the center of the tent.
@@topcampinghammocks4372 the tension placed on that middle strap increases the divide.... when looser, the sag returns for a whole middle pocket sag.
great reviews! I rocked this hammock, the zero degree version of this UQ, and the 40 degree OQ (all one Tigris) with some thermal pajamas and a fleece cap during some 20 degree Wisconsin nights this last winter and was very cozy. I’m 5’10, 200lbs with kind of broad shoulders and get a little cramped if I don’t tie out the sides. But around 200$ for hammock, UQ, and OQ is not a bad price point to be pretty well setup. Add a tarp on a ridgeline for rain coverage and you’re ballin’ on a semi-modest budget
Heck yes! So good to hear from a fellow cold weather camper! Thanks for the comment - as much as I do love cold weather camping...I am pretty pumped to be bringing out our summer gear too!
How tall are you? You look to be about the same build as me, but wondering if you would recommend getting the larger Explorer XL over the Expedition for someone 5'9" - 5'10"?
I'm 6ft exactly. If you're not going to be packing your hammock for a hike, I would typically size up as a personal preference. More room is always a plus! The advantage the Jungle has over the Explorer is that it's a 2 layer bottom, so if you are hanging in a particularly buggy environment, that can be a pretty big bonus.
my top go to hammock now also had to get one for the wife....definitely passed the winter test
Hell yeah! Glad to hear it - which underquilt did you go for?
@@topcampinghammocks4372 onetigris camo underquilt onetigris
I came for the backpack review and stayed for Barry!! I’m so fascinated by the fact that he’s blind and gets around as well as he does!
He does great! He's usually always off leash. We just sort of tap for him to hear us in tricky terrain but, otherwise, he's good to go!
This channel deserves more visibility.
Hey thanks! We're working on a few new reviews. Stay tuned!
Hey Ben, currently deciding between this and the Expedition Zip and the Jungle Expedition Zip. Does he jungle require an underquilt or sleeping pad, or is it insulated enough for 3 season camping?
All/any hammocks need insulation on the bottom. The double layer is nice for insects or if you want to put insulation between the layers, versus laying directly on top of a pad. I have a dozen HH's, ranging from 4-season Explorer, Jungle Safari XXL to ultra backpacker. I see no issues at all laying directly on a pad. TBH, other than a thin foam I use in the double bottoms, I always choose to lay directly on the inflatable pad, for all models. If you are in temps under 40F, you will get a cold back w/o insulation. I use my HH's every year in -20F temps. I use a good tarp and over cover (HH over cover #2). The over covers are fine for zip models - HH say classic only, but that's not true. I clip the over cover on the non zipper side and once in, you can clip the zipper side.
And easy to get back in the bag and kept me warm for several nights
In a little over 30 degrees with a 20 to 30 Walmart sleeping bag
Thanks for this nice video. Do you know if a Thermarest sleeping pad would work without too much slipping around in the pocket?
You’re oozing positivity and joy. Love it
I see you have the hideout underquilt. What is the difference between Night protector and Hideout? Looks like the both have the same dimensions just different colors
Hey Robert - the Hideout and the Night Protector look near identical (diff. color options though) - only difference is the materials used. Basically the Hideout is the economical version of the Night Protector. Specs included for both in description.
@@topcampinghammocks4372 Hey I appreciate the fast reply. Thank you
@@topcampinghammocks4372 Could you be a little bit more specific please? The temp ratings are almost identical as is the weight. Yet the price tags differ quite a bit?
Deeee heeeee heeecent
Ive got a 50lb aussie. Is that the medium or large?
Hey Keith - follow this link for instructions on how to measure your aussie: www.onetigris.com/dog-harness-038.html Sizing is based less on weight and more on neck/chest/back measurements. Good luck! We love this thing!
Hey Ben, I just found your channel. It looks great! I'm new to hammocks and looking at either a Hennessy or an Amok. I'm 6' and 250lbs so I need the larger hammocks. Can you recommend a few hammocks for the larger person? Thanks. Look forward to seeing more of your videos!
Hey Jim! The Jungle Expedition Hennessy probably has more accessory options in that you have the ability to use not only a sleeping pad, but an under quilt. That particular one is rated for "up to 250lbs" and "up to 6ft" so you'd be pushing both those limits. There is a Jungle Explorer Zip XL - which looks like it is currently sold out on Hennessy's website - but that is rated for up to 7ft and 300lbs...so that would be a great way to go. I haven't tested it out personally yet but Hennessy is a great company so you can count on the quality being there. We do have an Amok Draumr and Draumr XL, with associated Fjol sleeping pads. Haven’t had the chance to do a video for them yet but they are awesome. Super comfortable and the added enjoyment that comes out of being able to use your hammock as a recliner is actually amazing. They have, in my humble opinion, a superior sleeping pad and substantially more storage and room inside. That being said, a whole rig will cost about $100 more and a little harder to set up. But the XL can hold up to 400lbs....so you're definitely good to go there! Final answer, if you will be trekking in the late summer - winter... Hennessy with adequate fly, pad and under quilt. If you are looking for a super fun way to replace your tent on frequent summer or early fall trips, Amox hammock are stellar. TLDR - hope this helps! Thanks for the great question!
the hammock is cool and the colors are also very attractive
100% agree! Really liked this set up.
yes, I am Indonesian. in my place there is no hammock that cool
@@BakoAbdullah Bisa bayangin ya kalau ada hammock 3jt IDR yg dijual di Indo :D
Where to order it if you want to buy a tent
Hi! You can order from Amazon through this link: www.amazon.com/Tentsile-Flite-Plus-Tree-Model/dp/B07YYLXBHH/ref=sr_1_1?tag=TopCamp-20
Thank you! This was really helpful!
So happy to hear it! We had to take a break but will be back posting new reviews/set-up videos soon. Happy hammocking.
How tall are you? Looking for something, I’m 6’2” 230# and my wife is 5’ bout 115 so looking for something we can kinda be comfortable without me sucking the rig down.
Hey Joe. I'm 6ft exactly (about 170lbs) and while there isn't too much extra room at head/foot, the underfloor webbing does a great job separating sleeping quarters. My wife is 5'8" 135 lbs - so we are a little closer in size to each other. May just be a matter of messing with the tension for you guys? It's definitely a really well made/well designed tent so I would say it's worth a try!
Great presentation thanks
Have you tried it in rain? The last several tents I bought had rain fly's that would weep water in if it rained
Hi William. We haven't had the chance to rain test it (high desert living and all). The frame construction and spacing between the fly and the bug net lead me to believe that any condensation would pretty easily roll to the bottom of the fly and not in to the tent.
is this the 3.0 version?
Hi Luke! Yes, this is the Gen 3 Flite.
What's 28 ounce in the rest of the world's measuring system?
Hey! 28 ounce = 1.75 pounds. Happy hangs.
@@topcampinghammocks4372 so just shy of 800 grams
Really good informative review, thanks for making it!
My first hammock was a HH expedition. Then the safari then UL backpacker. Love them all. Ended up keeping the deep jungle xl. Still use it. Now I mai my use my Warbonnet xlc or Amok draumr. Great video.
So draumr is that much better? I'm indecisive because there's so many hammocks to choose from... I do want a sleeping pad just in case I have to sleep on the ground, and I'm inbetween the Draumr, the Haven and the henessy double layer rn
