    How many hammocks is---

    Enough? ???? I got into hammocks about two years ago and since, have made and purcharsed several others. I now have 6 all together. I have my Claytor jungle hammock which was my first. Then I got a Clark NA in camo for colder, wetter weather when hunting. Then the DIY bug bit me and I made one just to see how easy it was and found it pretty easy to do, so I made another just for the fun of it. Then one day I was looking at a local outdoor store and saw some ENO single nests. Loved the fabric these were made of. When i got home i looked them up online and found out its hard to find this type of material, so one day I'm looking on the for sale boards here and find an ENO single in great subdued colors for $30 bucks. Jumped on it like a fat kid on cake. Then right before the holidays i found some cheap camo fabric so i made another hammock for my hunting partner but he said he likes freezing on the ground. That is now residing in my gym/get home bag with a firearm, a stainless water bottle with GSI stainless nesting cup. 2 broke down MRE's with heaters and some other S.H.T.F. items. I have always been the outdoor type and have always had the "Always be prepared" mindset. However now I find myself starting all of my preparedness sessions with my hammock/tarp setup first. My question to you folks is, when will i have enough hammocks???? LOL

    i feel the answer you are looking for is never due to the fact that it is just simplisity and bliss...and in my experience you can never have to much bliss in your life its to counter all of the worries and stress from the real world

    Anything more than two hammocks is just plain overkill.

    I'm a bit of a gear freak and not only have multiple hammocks but multiple tarps, knives, packs, stoves, lanterns, cookware... the list goes on. I suspect many here are the same.
    Don't let life get in the way of living.

    I can easily completely outfit one other hanger, for mild weather at least. Plus I can get one other off the ground, they need to supply insulation, but they will get hammock, suspension & tarp.
    Plus; backpacks, knives, stoves, etc.

    None of it is "Extra" after all, as has been asked here before: Do you count the underwear in your drawer as "Extra" just because you aren't currently wearing them?
    When you have a backpack on, no matter where you are, you’re home.
    PAIN is INEVITABLE. MISERY is OPTIONAL.

    I have so much outdoor gear, it has it's own room. Not to mention all the stuff in my truck, shed and garage. If my wife had any idea, she'd probably divorce me. LOL
    I think I have a gear fetish. Is this a bad thing??? I think not!!!!

    The way my wife see's it, (and I do too) I could be spending the money on drugs (like I used to) or spend it on something that is good for me mentally and physically, which is good for us as a whole...now the car thing she is not so enthralled about, but that came with the package (me) from the start.

    So there is your defense...."at least I'm spending it on drugs, or something like that"
    I miss my 4.8Lb base weight as a ground dweller...But I sure DON'T MISS the ground.

    The way I look at it is " How many pairs of undies do you have?"

    I have my lightweight hammock for long hikes, my ripstop hammock with micro fleece lining for car camping, my BIG hammock for at home, my spares for loaning out, ect. ect. Then there is the commercial ones I bought to try out but didn't quite like as much as my DIYs or made a clone of and resell. Then there is the spare DIYs to give as gifts.

    How many hammocks do I own, hmmm, depends on the day. Right now I think I have approx. 30.
