HENNESSY HAMMOCK - ultralight explorer hammocks

For our adventure tours on the sunny island Sicily and throughout Europe Hennessy Hammock has sponsored five ultralight explorer hammocks with mosquitonets, tarps and snakeskins. The ultimative hammock test is following...

Update September 2013

So, we tested the hammocks on different places:

On our adventure-mountain, on the rocks and on the beach.

First of all, the "air bed" is awesome! Extremely lightweight, realy easy to set up - fast and everywhere - and very convenient. Actually, the explorer ultralight hammock is for one person only, but also a (also lightweight) couple spent a cozy night in it. Our longest pioneer is nearly two meters long, instead of his tent he prefers the hennessy. The hammocks are safe from mosquitoes and bad weather mostly the tarp protected us from the hot sun on the island but it resisted some strong rainstorms and hail too. The snakeskin makes it realy easy to set up and we enjoy also the way to travel with it.

and other extreme light stuff.

...And here we are on the lonely beach, five miles under our Adventure Hill - to relax:

Further reports of our Adventure Tours will follow, now an external introduction video.

Update August 2014

The hammocks survived several adventures, Including a tornado which destroyed instead a tent with essential equipment in there! Only a tarp from one of the five hammocks went into shreds, one hammock was getting a small hole, a few rubber bands were to be replaced, but all adventurers and pioneers who came to the Island on our adventure mountain and with us on tour, were impressed by the super comfortable and practical hammocks.

Too bad that our great donkey Hercules does not fit in one of the hammocks, so we are a bit sorry for him when it rains during our tours.

Below you can see our laundry was washed, but in the hammock we remain always dry.

On the inner rope there is also space for your clothes, the hammock itself is so broad that even two persons can sleep in - or one person with his luggage if it is necessary. And you can see that it remained dry as well.

Update April 2016

Ingenious quality work! Even after many years, weather changes, long adventure tours and a lot of sun the Hennessy Hammocks are still perfect in functionality!

...Hennessy Hammock - no trail - no campsite - no problem...

YES, WE REALLY CAN DO IT !

Scientific American is an science magazine. It is notable for its long history of presenting scientific information, through its careful attention to the clarity of its text as well as the quality of its specially commissioned colour graphics.

Many famous scientists, including Albert Einstein, have contributed articles in the past 168 years. It is the oldest continuously published monthly magazine in the United States.

In this article you can read about the possibility to live only with wind water and solar power. - Let's do it!

The Eco Adventure Hill you'll find in the middle of the greenest nature area of the sunny island - on the north side of Sicily - directly in the front of the *Aeolian Islands*.

The most common point of view below our Adventure Hil is *Tindari*, a very famous sanctuary. Underneath in Locanda there is one of the best locals, called "Pane e Vino", with all the cheese and sausages of the region, delicious barbecues and good house wines as well as weekly Sicilian live music.

From there a few hundred meters up you come to the small mountain village *Scala di Patti* with picturesque landscape - and just above there is our wild land, which you enter in the *Contrada Lupa* (the way of the wolves)...

After some international inquiries from television companies, which we rejected because we wont sell our souls for some crap, two serious and professional filmmakers with good portfolios recently approached us. We will see what comes out. - And you can see as well. :-) Even better, you can be part of it!

Before we present our own videos, initially on our YouTube channel and later on our environmentally friendly Eco-Server.

Until then, a few articles from journalists who reported on our social work:
