I'm still a big fan of the Hammock, and I'm thinking I'll write to them, to let them know what sort of retail representation they're getting from Europe-Bound.

Will do it again and again. As for the Hennessy Hammock, I did finally get around to calling Europe bound, but they said how do they know that I didn't damage it. It's really unlike me not to check things I buy before using them, but since I used the exact same hammock last year I felt like I had already used it. Europe Bound does have a point, I'm sure there's lots of people out there that would rip these companies off, which is sad for the honest people out there like me. That said I don't think I will do business with Europe Bound again. There service stinks compared to MEC, the store is a complete mess and every time you buy something all you will hear is how much of a great deal you are getting. As Mike mentioned, we will pay 5 dollars more for better service. I will repair the hammock and it will be as good as new and ready for the next trip. I can't recommend hammock camping enough, it's just so fun crawling into your hanging house each night, can't wait until we do it again next year.
