How high do I hang?

When I hang I'm about as high as I can get... :shades:

Great to hear all these positive remarks.

I agree that the 'biners that come with the ENO are very basic and much heavier than they need to be. I replaced them with Black Diamond Neutrino biners...

And just to be 100% honest, I didn't exactly go with first come first served. I went with the person who mentioned PayPal (because that works best for me), and I went with the person whose location...

Thanks MJM. I felt bad that I got several replies at basically the same time. I'm glad that more than 1 person was able to get what they needed. Good deal.

Yeah I bought mine a few years back when the wife and I did a 3 day hike on the Inca Trail in Peru. It's a fantastic bag. Packs down small, lightweight, warm. I guess they are used by the British...

SOLD, thanks all. Received several PM's. Sorry to those that did not get to buy it.

Cool, thanks everyone. I may consider a double once I start doing more hammock camping. But for now, since I'm just a casual hanger, I'll probably stick with my singles.

Question: is the double...

Panoramic Hammock.

Cool. Understood. I can see why I'm partial to the ENO single...

1. I've only tried one other hammock besides the ENO single.
2. I don't camp in a hammock yet - just casual/recreational user.
3....

Hi all,

Just recently got into hanging. Bought my first hammock last month - an ENO single. Just ordered another ENO single today so that my wife and I each have one.

I'm just wondering what...

I know I'm new here - hopefully this doesn't put anyone off. I'm user "ruckusmcduckus" on ebay if you want to check me out. Been a member for a very long time, 100% positive feedback.

SOLD
For sale $45 shipped, or would trade for a quality tarp or hammock of similar value:

Details can be...

Haha cool thanks. Didn't mean to be all "what do I get?!" but I had to ask. Make sure I wasn't missing anything. Like I said, I wasn't too concerned with getting anything. I donated just to donate,...

I already donated. I like this place. But I'm curious what the details are. Anyone?

Thanks.

I have one of these...

And it's great. Been using it for years. But only just got into hammocking last month. Just curious if anyone has...

NICE packeagle! Yeah I need to rig something like that up. But you know, I'm not certain the wife would be down with sleeping in a hammock all night. She likes lounging in them but I'm not sure about...

Right on. Thanks guys.

I had no idea the material was so expensive. And obviously weight and packability really matter when you're backpacking. I live in Chicago so I don't have any cool mountains...

This is a seriously sweet tarp. But $130 for a tarp? At the risk of sounding like a cheapskate - what gives? I bought a 10x10 tarp from...

So here's ye olde backporch. I forgot to do this yesterday so I did it this morning before leaving the house, and I didn't have time to unravel the hammock and clip it in. I can take a shot like that...

Thanks Mickey. Appreciate the guidance. The issue though would be that the roof is taller than I can reach without a step stool. And I'm 6 foot 4 inches. So My 5 foot wife probably can't reach that...

Haha I feel like this thread should have died a long time ago. Other than the forthcoming pics and measurements, it has little value to anyone but me. Heh. But thanks for putting up with me and...

Cool. I have two Neutrino carabiners but I also have two of these larger Omega ones...

Perhaps I'll just put those on the hammock ends instead. I...

Cool, good call. It would save some weight I guess but how much do 2 small pieces of black rope weigh? As it is, I have the Black Diamond 'biners clipped into the black ropes/loops on the ends of the...

Yeah I'll take some pics once I get home from work. I'll also take some measurements. I'm a total hammock rookie, so when I first installed the eye bolts, they were not far enough apart. I was...

The back porch rig goes like this - eye bolts up in the rafters of the porch roof, each with a fixed length of 7/64" Amsteel. This way I can easily clip in/out so as to avoid my beloved hammock being...

EDIT: I said I have 1-inch "nylon" straps but they are indeed poly. They're from whoopieslings.com

Okay I got what you guys were saying originally I thought you meant remove the black loop/tie from the ENO and replace it with the whoopie. But now I see that you meant use a larkshead to attach the...

Thanks guys.
The reason I use carabiners is because I use the hammock on my 3rd story covered back porch/deck too. It clips in/out of 2 fixed lengths of 7/64 Amsteel which hang from burly eye bolts...

Easy noob stuff here. I've only just become aware of the relaxation and pleasures that a hammock can induce. Went camping last month with some friends and picked up a $15 hammock off Amazon to bring...
