Help for my first hammock!

Very new to all of this and while I have researched a lot I think the best thing now would be advice from enthusiasts!

I've narrowed my choices to
ENO doublenest
Grand Trunk double
Trek-Light Double

For suspension I am pretty much sold on Grand Trunk Tree Slings. Has anyone used these and have an opinion on them?

From what I'm finding online my 3 hammock choices are very similar, and for me it comes down to pricing. Some have said they can get one for as cheap as $45, how can I do this?

All opinions and words of advice are greatly appreciated!

I do like my Grand Trunk UL though just a touch short but sorry, I do not have any hands on knowledge of your three. Many Eno hangers here though!

All of my friends have ENO's, so I went the road less traveled (and cheaper) and ordered the GT double today!

Now if I could get opinions on the GT Tree Slings I'd be set.

congrats,now go order a set of whoopie slings and replace the cordage in your hammocks channels with them,and get a set of tree straps www.whoopieslings.com you won`t regret it. Trav.

I dont have any experience with the double, but my single nest is built nicely and if it were wider and perhaps a bit longer id like it more because I am tall. The thing I like about ENO hammocks is their "max weight" as compared to the weight of the hammock is really good.

any hammock is way better than laying on the ground. Have a hammock bliss no seeum and love it . not expensive but nice just the same and plenty od room

I'm enjoying my GTUL...seems to do the trick for now. Campmor.com had them on sale for $13 a pop when I got mine.

I was just curious if you had plans for a ridgeline and any type of bug netting. I see with your 3 choices that none of them come with either of those things.

As you research bugnets and ridgelines, you may find that cost-wise, you may be better off with a Hennessy Zip or Warbonnet hammock. There are other hammock manufacturers out there, but I own these two. After the cost of the hammock, add the whoopies, ridgeline and bugnet, you may be just as well off, cost-wise. :D
