Hello my name is Benjamin. I made the transition from a tent to a hammock about a year ago, I just couldn't stand sleeping on the cold ground any more. had to find something better. and i did :)
I am using a stock eno now, thinking about a HH asym. here is a pic of my last camp.

Anyone out there who has used the HH or the eno, I'd love a little feedback about the differences between.
Thanks
Way to go doood! You're well on your way.
And welcome!
Welcome to the campfire neighbor!
Welcome to another Alabama hanger. Since I have no experience with either, I can't help with the HH or ENO, but love my Warbonnet Blackbird (and waiting on a WB Traveler). I'm certain that some knowledgeabe hangers will chime in.
Welcome to HF from central FL!
That's a really nice looking camp site you got there.
I have an ENO DN. I like it a lot!
Then I got a Eureka Chrysalis. I love it!! :boggle:
At 6-1+ I can't get a flat enough lie and still be able to move around in the DN.
I have never slept in a Hennesey, but I don't ever remember anyone complaining about them. :)
The WBBB & the Switchback seem to be getting a lot of attention so they may warrant a look too.
If you can... check out one of the group hangs that are coming up soon. You'll be able to see lots of different set ups and talk to the users.
Good luck!
Welcome to the Forums from Canada!
Welcome to HF from Mass.
Lots of differences between the ENO and the Hennessy. Both brands have subforums. You might want to check them out to get a sense of what people like/dislike about the models for each.
Welcome to the forum from west Texas!
Hi and welcome, I have the ENO DN and a'm happy so far. I'm upgrading the suspension now. We just got a used speer hammock that I think will go to my 18 year old son, it's not as wide as the DN. At 6'4" I like the extra diagonal length. I don't know the HH but I here the asym gives a better diagonal lay. "Check the sub forums" (+1). Good luck and happy hunting.
Welcome aboard from Florida. Buy 'em all, what you don't like you can sell here!:D
Welcome from a neighbor to the south
welcome to the madness.
While I have an ENO DN, I preferr my BB for overnights. The ENO I use on day hikes for when I need to take a break on the hike.
Thanks for all the feed back. I'll be sure to look up all these options. I had never heard of the chrysalis before, looks interesting. too bad that there are no good outdoor stores in the north ala area, i love to be able to walk into a store and check out some new gear...
?? No good outdoor stores? Alabama outdoors is in Huntsville too.
I have basically the same setup you have, except I have changed out the stock suspension for all in one whoopieslings and have a structural ridgeline. I use a AHE Jarbridge underquilt for warmth.
My son uses a ENO SN with a Kelty Noah's 9 tarp and an AHE Jarbridge quilt too.
I just bought another ENO doublenest.
Check out the Hang we are having at Cheaha on the 21-23 of this month.
Heart of Dixie Hang II, Oct 21-23
i have been to Alabama Outdoors, and they are ok, most of the stuff they sell is clothes. I have been looking for a camp stove for some time now, and went there and they only carry one type of stove. same with other stuff i have been looking for. idk, i would just like to have a store in town ( or at least close ) that carried a little more for the hike/camper. Maybe there is just not enough interest in our area...
Wow, our AO in Mobile carries 5 different MSR stoves and three different Jet boils and parts and canisters for each of them. Sound like your AO isn't that hot. I know the one in Homewood carries HH and ENO. The one in Mobile only carries ENO but they will get me a an HH if I say go.Quote:

I wish you luck on finding your backpacking gear store. I find I would rather buy online as most stores will have a limited selection when there is a plethora of gear out there.
Welcome aboard..Last time I was at gander Mountain on North parkway they had 7 or 8 different kinds of stoves.Also the store at bridge street (cant rember the name) has a good selection as well , or they did a week ago.. I personally had rather ruse my blue-mini alcohol stove, or my favorite mini atomic..both of these serve the purpose on the trail..
