I've got one and highly recommend it. Love wild camping with it. I've used it in the pissing rain and kept dry. I use an old bivi bag to put my stuff in underneath it and to stand on before I get in. I haven't used a carry mat but my sleeping bag is a five season so that's OK. My top tip is to carry a few pitons. I've twice slept in an old roofless house in Wales and Scotland where I've just hammered pitons into secure the hammock. Hennesey's are so comfy compared to a tent. Expensive but a lot better than the cheaper alternatives. Go for it.
