You've obviously never seen or used the DD Frontline? Beats the Hennessey hands down as a tent.

Nope, never heard of it until now. I hadn't really bothered with hammocks until I was given a hennessy as a present...I do like the look of the zips and double-layered fabric for a sleeping mat.

Between pallets usually works for me, or just use a therm-a-rest.

i got a really good one from a surplus in norwich, made by milcom, only a tenner and it was fine until i slung it over a brick wall and fell asleep in it.

i used the pussers one with carrying handles loop to make a stretcher etc in Belize. I thought it was pretty good myself both in the bush and on the cayes. Didnt have fancy covers or mossie net just a poncho and mossie spray - worked for me

Snip the jingly-jangly zip-pulls off and replace them with knotted paracord (light coloured so they stand out better at night) and add two climbing krabs to the webbing (as in the youtube demo) and Bob's your uncle.

Slipping a mat between the layers is also cheaper than an underblanket :D

Just to clarify, I'm intending to use the hammock on tour, so hot and sandy, and potentially the flight out there (depending on the loadies).

The DD looks outstanding. I had loads of trouble with mossies on my last tour using the issued 'dome' tent so I might get one of these to keep the feckers out.

"If you're very pushed for space/weight or need something more tactical go for a Thai hammock"

Huh !
you mean one of the Multi coloured things they sell by the roadside ?
Cheap lightweight but certainly not Tactical.
