Jungle Hammock

Does anyone use one of these? They look pretty good for a spike camp.

I have not, but I question the usefulness of it versus a standard tent especially when taking into consideration the weight of it.

I would say it gives you the option to camp out over un-even ground, steep slopes, and over rocks or logs.

You could look at these as well, there a little more basic but they are a little cheaper as well. I like the entry from underneath.
I talked to a Soldier who slept in one during his tours in Afghanistan and he loved them.
Only thing he recommends is a bigger raincover than the standard one.

I'm planning some extensive jungle hiking in the amazon and I'm going to try the hennesy. I think the one you mentioned will do better in colder weather.
