Well, I spend the first night in my new hammock. I purchased a Speer IIIA hammock and a MacCat Deluxe tarp. I also bought the Speer SPE 4 x 4 for insulation. The SPE is a pretty great piece of gear....

When making your decision, think about what tarp you will use, too. I say that because I just received a MacCat Deluxe and because my Speer had not arrived I set up my ENO double underneath. The tarp...

I agree those are much better suggestions for silnylon, Jeffjen. I suggested textile outfitters because they also carry a fantastic assortment of notions and patterns. They also have other waterproof...

The Tri-Glides seem to have been out for a while. For those who are using them as per the instructions, how many wraps around the tree with your straps? I'm wondering about slippage if the strap is...

I meant to write that I had found a lot of posts about cinch buckles...sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the information.

I have found a lot on cinch buckles, but have a couple of questions based on what I have read so far:

-do you install a cinch buckle on one end or on both ends? Please elaborate on your choice....

Just wanted to send a note of thanks to all who share their knowledge and experience on the forums. I have been able to learn a lot, and last night I ordered a Speer IIIA, a 4x4 SPE, and a MacCat...

I'm thinking of making a bug screen for my ENO double hammock. Unfortunately, the shops near to home charge about $11 per yard for the full width stuff. Instead of buying a piece and then cutting it...

This is a great thread, and I'm happy to have found this information. One thing I'm interested in learning about is SnugFit vs. PeaPod. I don't have an underquilt, or the PeaPod, but would be...

What about one like this: ENO Guardian BugNet?

Thanks for the replies so far. Glad to hear I am on the right track. Since I made the original post, I looked back through the homemade area and found some other posts. I also read some great info on...
