I never camp w/o my earplugs, or my Lab/Shepherd/St. Bernard/Springer Mix.....she's chased two bears out of my campsites so far this year!

I had back pain every morning for the last 5 years. I bought the Doublenest Deluxe and my back pain was gone the first morning. I have slept in it every night since except when I am in my camper,...

OUCH....I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you are OK.

Some folks start a new hobby and feel they have to buy every single gizmo and accessory available. Others buy the essentials, and see if they like it first.

Funny you mention Amsteel.....that's...

The nylon strap broke right above the marlinspike hitch. I think the strap was just old, and may have been stressed. I tested the new setup out and adjusted it so the next time I fall it will only be...

hmmm those just might support the weight of my carcass....I'm quite the 'bloated sack of protoplasm' at 268 lbs. and I was just at HF two days ago for their big sale too.

That's the sound my body made this morning when my nylon hammock strap broke just above the marlinspike hitch....

I am thankful my dog chose NOT to sleep underneath me last night, as she sometimes...

Dog,

I believe you 100%

Shug,

I hope you didn't take offense at my comment...I found your videos very informative and amusing, and your characterizations and humor off the chart. You seem to...

I just watched several of Shug's videos.....and there is definitely something wrong with him:scared:

I believe he'd be fun to camp with though!

W&^%&^%e S#@&^%s.....

I refuse to utter the phrase myself....

I would not knot the rope, I'd use a marlinspike hitches and either attach the carabiners there, or run another piece of rope through the hitch loop and rig my suspension from that.

I like the...

Doublenest Deluxe at that!

Yep, a newbie mistake I guess! . I use a couple of clothes pins to keep the excess fabric from hanging too much into the interior. Still worth the $49 in my book though....

I am doing great with a thin contour pillow for my head. I also use a large body-pillow and place it perpendicular at my feet. It keeps them warm and comfortable.

Oh, and I found out why I hammock...

After trying out a few other hammocks this past weekend, I have come to the conclusion that most of my difficulty is due to the hammock itself. It is incredibly deep compared to anything else I...

My feet do touch the floor when I swing them out. I may be too close to the wall to push myself up using my feet. and swing up as I sit. I was very limited as to where I could hang my hammock in my...

I read somewhere here on one of the threads I researched that if your sides were too high your hammock was not hung right (too tight). I actually have the ENO Double Deluxe which is supposed to be 8'...

These are very simple to make if you follow the directions. You can use some stiff wire or use a guitar string doubled over to make a fish-tape instead of using the needle, but other than that, this...

I am new to hammocks and recently purchased an ENO Doublenest. I camped with it a few nights and got such a great night sleep that I decided to hang one in my spare bedroom. Now I am sleeping there...
