Thread: Gear hammocks

    Gear hammocks

    Was wondering if anybody here uses a gear hammock? I have a ENO underbelly gear sling that works great and packs up fairly small.
    My only gripe is, I wish it was a little lighter(7oz manufacturers specs) I know I could probably make one, but I'm not confident enough to attempt such a feat, I'll probably install some whoopie slings to my ENO Gear Sling in the mean time.
    But, does anybody else use one and if so, would you mind posting pics and describe where you got it, what material it's made from, product weight, overall size weight limit. Thanks
    Here's a pic of my ENO Underbelly Gear Sling in the mean time.

    I just got my hammock chair from Arrowhead and it dawned on me that it might make a fine gear hammock at times it is not be used as a chair..

    That's the plan i have as well, i have a diy double layer 5 and a half foot long hammock chair, all it needs to become a good gear hammock is a pair ofspeed hooks and just throw the loop over my hammock suspention.
