    after having these ss for awhile i find them great for one thing, teaching my 9 yr old how to use a suspension system and how to put them away for a lighter version, she did like the ease of them though
    i do not remember the question, however i believe beer is the answer

    I switched out the slap straps on my DoubleNest for a set of whoopies and never looked back. I still think this is the most comfortable hammock I own.

    I also have their Pro-Fly - Just long enough so you get wet on both ends in the rain

    Is it true they're called "Slap" straps because after buying them ... I feel like I ought to be slapped for doing it?

    Mine is currently balled up in the bottom of my gear closet. It's replacement, the Speer Winter Trap is nicely packed in the top of my closet

    My eno singlenest, 2, 6' whoopie slings, and 2 six foot polyester seatbelt webbing tree staps (2) from strapworks weight about 20 oz. If you tie a toggle onto the tree strap with a marlin spike hitch you don't need any hardware. Arrowhead equipment has whoopie sling if you don't want to make them yourself. Think how light this setup would be with a Speer Hammock, humm...

    Yes..... I agree. I LOVE my ENO, but have no use for ANY of their other products.

    I know we're not the only ones to ever discuss this, so I wonder why ENO doesn't up their quality on their other products.
