    GTSB Pro vs ENO Jungle Nest???

    Hey Guys, total newbie here. Considering getting into hammock camping. I've been a ground dweller. A few 2 day backpacking trips per year. Also some early fall hunting and scouting trips. Anyway I've read a bit about these two hammocks. SB Pro seems to have a good following. The ENO jungle nest seams to be similar of design and very new. Can out in 2014. Not a lot of info or reviews out there. Priced points are $70 for the SB and $100 for the ENO jungle nest. then there is also the ENO Double Nest w/ separate bug net $130 for the combo. I'd be using a cheapo Walmart tarp to start.

    SB Pro - 70
    ENO jungle nest - 100- sale going on at rei now 80
    ENO double nest w bug net - 130 - sale at rei 104

    So what do you think guys can you make some recommendations to get me off the ground? I'd also like to get more info on the jungle nest. Its pretty good looking.

    thx,

    The Guardian Bug guard is hot hot in the summer.It probably would be better as a winter component.
    The ENO and Bliss double are pretty much the same.Both of those are bomb In my opinion the most comfortable.
    If you can get the ENO and either make or buy a Fronkey bug net .you will have a very nice rig.
    If you have a Harbor Freight close you can get a camo poly tarp for under $10.00.
    Dont get upsold, The ENO double is very good.

    You can also watch the For Sale forum for a gently used ENO and bug net and save yourself some money.

    How about neither? You should consider supporting a cottage vendor. They hand make much higher quality gear for a great price.
