I've used both and prefer the Clark. It packs small (into a shoebox in fact) and offers more room than the Hennessy. The clak is about $100 more but for that you get a true three season hammock with the ability to go to four seasons. If you want to hammock camp, just be sure there are plenty of trees and brush up on your Boy Scouts knot tying skills!
