I probably wont use it to backpack, but it would be cool at home.

I probably wont use it to backpack, but it would be cool at home.
See my new thread, NEW ENO
Sorry not many/any details but I do know its being called a "Double Deluxe." I can only assume a huge double nest. Hopefully with a higher weight rating. ENO says its "coming soon" but that can...
Saw the ship last summer. Amazing how many folk on there at once.
slowhike, when I got that answer I had told them upper creek (or falls, cant remember exact name) back country sites I was informed it was a new rule. Yet stone mt rangers told me no such rule...
yeah which park? In South Mountain State Park, I was told no hammacks period!

WOW! Thanks for the leg work slowhike. Guess I was "lied" to? I don't get why I was told that. It is very nice to be wrong though! I realize that most of us would never "get caught" anyway, but...
Yeah Slowhike, there are different anwsers at different parks. Makes me wonder
Yeah, I was planning to hike in myself. Just curious, at many state parks you fill out paper work, drop it off and take off. So who would know anyway?
mmmmm. Might have to change my name on here:(.
I just got back from South Mountain State park where a ranger advised me that they just got a "memo" in regards to hammock use in the parks. They no longer allow hammocks in their parks.:scared: I...
So besides the pad pocket, what is the difference between this new hammock and their $269.00 Deep Jungle Hammock? Besides $130.00?
also, Golite is using the EN temp rating system on some of its bags for 2010
Thanks to this thread I've checked out the new Golite RS1 40 deg quilt from golite. WOW! Only 3 ounces heavier than the down 40 degree quilt but pretty much HALF THE PRICE! I like the added...
Not sure how long marmot has been using this, REI guy says 2 years+, and it causes more weight per same degree bag which is why not all companies choose to use it. I got a ecopro 40(which I love)...
Just a heads up, the other company besides REI is Marmot that uses the EN 13537 testing method for sleeping bag ratings. I've found it to be spot on. Thats one reason I use a Marmot bag. But I've...
rei still has ENO and HH, in stock and in the my local rei store. ENO seems like they are in every NC outfitter store, but they are located in NC so it only make sense.
Thanks everyone. Sounds like a little saving for some whoopie slings. One last thing. I'm considering the 10ft whoopies for my single nest. Can anyone give me a weight for the eno, whoopies...
I did cut the strap on the pouch off. It helped more than I thought it would. So no negetives on getting rid of the cord? I'm considering woopie sling setup, but i might have to purchase instead...
Hello, I have the singlenest which I love. I just want to make it lighter. I use it with camp nano biners. I was curious is there any reason to keep the black cord at the end of the hammock on...
Simple for me. Sleeping bags can be used for all types of camping and crashing at friends, underquilts only for hammocks. And I already had em.
aahhh. the memories. wish i was there. awesome pics.
i forgot to mention i only need 4 stakes when hanging, 8 for ground use. 4 extra stakes cost me 2 ounces using golite tent stakes.
MacCat deluxe will work fine for ground use. While I haven"t used it in the woods, I have set it up many times in my yard just in case I had to go to ground. (Bald Mountains, for views) I used my...
I'm ready to purchase a new suspension system. I wanna get the strapworks polyester webbing that I here is so great. I tried of my stuff stretching in wet conditions. I've been using climbing...
The other night while camping near Mt Rogers I watched a deer as it slowly came closer and closer to my hammock. It was at the base of my tarp. Something spooked it and as it took off it tripped on...
Thanks! For the comments and help from all to getting my setup down pat.
yeah slowhike, water was decent. I got one of the national geo. maps of the area that had the springs marked. All were easy to find. Thanks for the info before on the area.
and some more....
and some more pics, yes that dead tree was stout enough:rolleyes:
Just got on today from an overnighter at Grayson Highlands and Mt Rogers area. I started yesterday at 9am on the AT spur trail to the AT to Scales back to the AT to Pine Mountain to Rhododendron Gap...
thanks slowhike! I plan to start at Massie Gap. I only have 2 sleeping bags one 40 deg and one 15. Guess I'll take the 15 to be on the safe side, as my 40 is good to about 50 or so in hammock. So...
I'm thinking about heading up to Grayson Highlands/Mt Rogers area to do some backpacking. I was looking for ideas on where to hike. I see the Mt Rogers trip in winter but I wanted to try it now...
thanks! planning on going next week during the week. anyone been on site D? I've heard its got good views in winter, not sure about now of course?
For those who are interested in the Nano.

thanks! sounds like webbing shopping is on my things to do list. man my stuff does stretch when wet.
Please, please excuse my lack of knowledge but what is this modification for? Less weight? I have several eno's and would love to know. Thanks
wish i could have made it
Falls above site A
Great report! Glad you enjoyed it.
thanks tired feet. You know what, I got two hammocks so I'm gonna get both kinds (harbor freight and strapworks) to see which I prefer. Man this hammock stuff is addictive!:cool: Hey any excuse...
Thanks guys! I've looked at the polyester and seatbelt style webbing at strapworks. Will either of these be lighter than my current nylon tublar? And which is better for hammocks, seat belt or...
Its is tubular. I shot an email to Blue Water but they never replied. My guess is that it is polyester because I don't notice much sag. Cheap is webbing is, if there is something better I'm...
I've been using my rock climbing webbing for my hammock suspension with no problems. Its from the company blue water. Does anyone know if this webbing is nylon or polyester? I've seen on here...
