    I had the Eno Singlenest and returned it, only to buy the Skeater Beater Pro. The material on the Skeater Beater Pro is very soft and comfortable, much like the Eno. It also seems to be a bit more...
  4. So frustrating

    That was probably the single most frustrating thing for this trip. The campground I hiked into was Sheeps Campground just south of Mt Pinos. In that area, there is not another camp open for many more...

    You bet it was. Again, I think I made it so tight because I was worried the cords would stretch through the night. Next time I will try to hang the straps higher and give the lines more slack.

  6. good points

    Thanks for the advice, I did do a quick setup at home beforehand to test the straps I made (but the trees I used were not large in diameter). I did not anticipate the trees to be that large. I also...
  7. haha

    Thanks for the advice.
  8. good advice.

    I will definitely try that next time. I knew paracord stretches, which is why I doubled it over. Surprisingly it did not stretch much, and I woke up still with two feet from the ground to hammock...
  9. thanks...

    Thank you. It was a great place. I think I pulled the hammocks so tight because I was worried the paracord would stretch - and to be honest it did not stretch much at all when doubled over. What I...

    That is really not that bad at all considering you have everything rigged up at that weight. I think I may actually go this route. How difficult do you suppose the material is to work with, if I...
