Just got my Hennessy "forest" addition. I got one with the pad sleeve and the reflective bubble pad. I have an old Big Agnes down sleeping bag that has a pad insert, I just leave that out and use it as a quilt. I decided to try setting it up "as is" with the knots setup they have it configured for and HATED IT! I plan to either get a buckle system or carbines and daisy loop straps (I have an old set from my old hammock).
i like the look of some buckle systems and slides, i also always a daisy loop as back up plan, but the fun is simply getting out and about , and i needed some camo to blend in more with the trees
yes the figure of 8 is a strong knot, but never has a triple wrap failed me or crashed me into the ground, i love to play around with the suspension and make sure when i sleep , i have no creeping doubts, overall the hammock is a good buy. there are combinations people use to hang , but a figure of eight is simple and whats in a few extra turns, now dont start me on whoopie slings
Wow, what a lovely spot to camp.

Hello ,I thought the figure of eight wrapped around the suspension cord only and only up and down the tree straps once 🤔

Did this come with the carabiner and rings or was fhat an add on that you made? I assume yes as you said this is straight out of the box.
the Carabiner and rings are an extra add on, they are not out of the box,
