Hennessy Set-Up


The Hennessy ridge-line ‘lashing’ is time consuming to set up, and has no adjustment! A quick adjustable ridge-line set-up is essential when low-light conditions or rain is threatening.

A Prussic Knot can be tied in seconds, using the single Hennessy line, or ‘doubled’ when trees are close together. The adjustable prussic knot is a versatile knot that can be used for numerous situations.

How to tie a Prusik Knot

The prussic knot is suitable for many applications - rain-canopy tie-outs using roots, logs, bushes etc, instead of carrying accessory pegs with the risk of loss.

A prussic knot will not slip when tied and dressed (adjusted) correctly. It is important to practice (by repetition) tying this knot before leaving on a trip, so time is not lost in low-light, or when rain is threatening.

PacSac™ Hanging Information

PackSac set-up with Safari when rain not expected: PacSac set-up when rain is expected:

NB: To stop rain-water running down a ridge-line into your hammock, tie a short length of string firmly to the ridge-line close to the hammock. This acts as a ‘dam' and diverts rain-water to drip down the string, keeping your hammock dry. The PacSac is suitable for all hammocks and rain-canopies.

Caution

Always check for damage after using your Hammock. Inspect suspension systems regularly for wear and tear. When lighting a fire, be aware of the direction of the prevailing wind and establish the fire-pit down wind, so embers float away from your hammock and not towards it! .. Children must always have adult supervision.

Breaking Camp

Before leaving camp, make a habit of walking a ‘circuit’ to check nothing is left behind. Every piece of equipment carried in, is essential for comfort and survival.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning your Camping Hammock– hand wash using mild detergent, rinse and air dry. Always dry your Hammock thoroughly before storing. Damp gear will become musty, but mildew will not damage the synthetic materials used in the construction – mildew will only attack vegetable fibres. If your Hammock smells musty, simple follow the hand-wash instructions above.
