In this video, I will be making a modification to the popular Hennessy Hammock. Adding a zip to the bottom entry model hammock means that you can open up the hammock for lounging at camp and you can still use a conventional under quilt - creating a versatile and comfortable above ground sleeping system. You can even keep the original opening so you have both options. There are certain companies offering the modification (particularly in the US), but it is a fairly straightforward alteration that you can do at home with a domestic sewing machine or even by hand.
I hope you find the video useful and thanks for watching!
