I have a genuine issue Jungle Hammock with net and attached canopy and also a issue regular nylon hammock by itself. Everyone is right about the new ones being better but some people like the older...
Thanks for the great ideas so far. I taking notes on all of them so I can try them out when I get the chance. I think I can pull if off with larger diameter trees, maybe 12" and up.
I just picked up one of those monster 12x12 guide series tarps. Does anyone have a good pic or description of how to hang two hammocks from the same trees, side by side? I've seen some photos in the...
Does anyone think I could get good coverage from a 10x10 tarp on a WB Blackbird? I'm using a Claytor diamond right now but I was going to explore the rectangle set up. The BB is supposedly right at...
:lol:The one that is left so I might as well get what I want either way. Its my new evil plan hehe
What is the normal wait for a blackbird? Is he making them right now or is there some downtime? The website does not say anything other than "1 week if in stock and 3 weeks if back ordered.
:lol: I'm already shopping for my next one.

Well I set up my new Claytor Jungle in the backyard this weekend so I could sleep overnight and try it out. I had rain in the forecast so I was hoping to try out the diamond fly as well.
Once I...
So how much weight is pushing the limit of the hammock. I see a lot of hammocks advertised 250# capacity and I weigh 230. I always skipped these and went for the ones that advertise 400# capacity. ...
So does a complete hammock system (hammock,bug net, tarp) qualify as a bivy set up as far as size is concerned? I hear people talking about bivy hunts and hikes a lot but I always had a 2 man tent...
I have the black stuff sack and I bought the foliage one later.
I have the older woodland camo but I have both stuff sacks.
Does anyone use the USGI sleep system? I have two complete USGI sets and while the entire set is heavy, I have them. I used to sleep on top of one while getting in the second if needed. Does the...
Update. It made it and I've already taken the mid day nap. I added teh AHE cinch buckle set up right away. I did not realize it was ripstop nylon just like my GI poncho but that's no problem at all...
Alright, I went with the GT Skeeter Beeter Pro. I have a Claytor Jungle somewhere on its way. I have an ENO double already and its my everyday pack hammock. With the new addition I can have one...
I ran ran across some discount coupons and have the opportunity to buy a new hammock today. The price would be the same and the two hammocks are
Grand Trunk Skeeter Beeter Pro or ENO single with...
I have read several comments about the Claytors being longer than other hammocks, and this causes less than ideal coverage for a normal tarp.
What tarp are you using for the Claytor...
Sounds like a plan. I have another hammock on order so I'm too chicken to take out the rope on the ENO until it gets here. Then the experiments start:D
Yes, thank you. Angry Sparrow answered my question as I was typing it:D
So what is the guestimate of the new weight capacity of the hammock? Since they are seperate componants is the rating for an ENO still 400lbs?
The webbing is what it came with assembled from JRB.
"Two 10 foot long, 1 inch wide, 700 pound, polypropylene web straps with 1.5 inch loops in one end and two JRB Tri-Glides. Each strap weighs...

I just added the JRB tri glides to my ENO double. I could not believe the difference from the slap straps. Are all upgrades this good:D
Sigh. On day eight from the shipping conformation. Seems like forever.
I already received my webbing and cinch buckles from AEI (thanks Paul). Can't wait to try it out.
A search turned up no clear answer so here is a quick question.
Is the hammock weight rating directly related to only the suspension or is it part of the material also. Example.
The...
whoops, old thread:(
I was wondering the same thing about the good old stone age wool blanket. Since it will not compress like a quilt, will it work as an under quilt?
Just a Florida boy, be nice.
P.S.
Yep, the...
Just ordered my suspension from AHE for the Claytor. If I'm lucky it may beat the hammock here:lol:
Since I can still claim noob status, are there any good pics of using the webbing and cinch...
I just ordered a Claytor Jungle Hammock. I can't wait to try it out. Too bad its going to seem like a long time to get here.
Thanks!:) USPS seems to be the consensus.
hmmm. Is it delivered USPS once it gets here or is it delivered to your front door like UPS/Fedex? I live in a condo so I don't like things left at my door when I'm gone. I'll have it shipped to...
For anybody that has ordered their Claytor from his website(www.mosquitohammock.com), what shipping method did he use? I've sent an email but it has not been returned and I could not find an answer...
I'd like to set it up in the yard for my son. I'd never really take it hiking:D

This may be the best place to find out about a hammock I've had in the closet for a while.
Does anyone know much about the USGI Vietnam jungle hammock? The real issue one not a copy. It has the...
Thanks. I may try the Whoopie option on my ENO. I've wanted to change it anyway. I'll wait until I complete the other first I think. Then I'll have one of each to compare. Is there a link to that...
Yes, St Augy
Thanks, after much Google-ing, I've found some kind of set up using a "chain length" and "cinch straps" with the option of using a biner or directly tying the chain link to the cinch buckle. I'm not...
Hello,
My first day finding this forum. Like a lot of people I'm new to hammocks but not hiking. I have USGI Vietnam era Jungle Hammock and an ENO Doublenest so that is my experience so far. ...
Hello all. This is my first post on this forum and I'm fairly new to hammocks.
I have an ENO with the slap straps so that is the only suspension I'm familiar with. After much reading on this...
