You can use a Hennessy as a hammock or tent.

Where are you going to be using it? Hammocks work great on tropical beaches, but I prefer a tent at backcountry campsites. You also need sturdy attachemnt points for a hammock.

I live in Wisconsin also - have to say that so far I prefer the Hennessey Hammock when it is above freezing. With the low weight and the versatility of using it as a tarp, it is hard to beat.
