RE: [Aushiker] Helena hut/Mundaring weir

Hi
The hennessy hammock is different than mine, mine I made my self and is
based on the Speer style and is top loading, where as the Hennessy is
bottom loading. Plus everyone I know of on the Hammock Forum I visit
also say the stock hennessy tarp is much too small and it gets replaced
by a much larger one.
