Im on there if anyone is interested. I have done 2 Hammock Backpacking trips, but the channel is mostly geared towards Hiking/Backpacking/Knives/Flashlights related stuff. I have more hammock...
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...
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.

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...
Thanks for the 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...
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...
I decided to take my dad out to the Los Padres National Forest here in CA to try our first overnight hammock backpacking trip. It was a lot of fun packing in 50lbs in those high elevations (totally...
Thanks for the reply. i think I may need to go that route due to the initial investment cost of a good hammock setup.
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...

Thanks for the insight, I would love to hear your impressions once you get it and test it out.
Cool, thank you very much for the reply. I suppose I could always trim the fabric on the sides and hem or sew it if needed. That is a good option too, at least more affordable. Especially since I am...
How much of a weight difference am I looking at in a DIY Tablecloth design like that? The Eno Singlenest is about 18 ounces with carabiners, 20 ounces or so with straps. I dont mind a bit of extra...
Thanks, I may take a look at the Warbonnet Blackbird and check into some 11 foot designs too. Time to research research research....
Hello folks... I am a 6'5 tall guy at around 200 pounds and I recently picked up an Eno Singlenest. I took it out on a hike to test it out in the San Gabriels a few days back to see if I like it...
