Haha I'm in the same stage you are right now. I'm completely in love with my hammock. Can't wait for my next excuse to set up all my gear. I'm constantly trying to find "the next big thing" or...
This is what I was thinking. I love my Blackbird. I don't know what more anyone could want it they're sleeping as good as I an in my Blackbird.
My father is looking into getting this Mosquito Jungle Hammock and is asking me if it's any good. Do any of y'all have any experience with this particular hammock or have any advice? ...
I'm in the middle of my backpacking trip and as I type I'm laying in my hammock enjoying the weather and nature. I got my dad and brother out here with me. But Im most excited that I got my Blackbird...
I have that stand. It works if you absolutely want to set up your hammock and have nothing else. But with it, I find it hard to get the right amount of sag for my hammock without the low of the...
Thanks guys, that's a relief. I didn't want to have to go back to the store and exchange it. Now if my WBBB will ever get here!! YAY!! Thanks again everyone.
It is air tight, I tried blowing air threw it with my mouth and couldn't. I think I agree with the_lorax because if it were open cell, wouldn't it be more like a sponge or memory foam? This is...
I can't tell. I'm starting to be frustrated because everything I have for my backpacking trip Thursday seems to be wrong.
Oh it is? Well what's the difference?
This is the pad I got, it doesn't say it's open cell foam but I think it is.
Can someone explain to me why no one uses open cell pads? Obviously I just don't know what that reason is. I mistakenly bought a open cell foam pad because the dimensions where bigger. I didn't...
That seems like a great idea. You could also try sewing on some industrial Velcro and you wouldn't have to worry about losing your magnets.
Not to hijack the thread but, has anyone tried showing a sleeping bag between the layers? I wonder for myself if it would work. Sorry if that's a stupid question.
Is that something I'd have to order online or can I pick it up at Academy or Walmart?
I recently got a double layer Blackbird and I'm looking for some under insulation. I'm gonna be going to Academy to get myself a pad but I don't know what is better, an insulated pad or a foam pad. ...
Thank you, I appreciate that. :shades: now i feel cool.
I've been talking to Brandon. And he says there is a decent chance I could have it by the 10th. If not then I'll just bring my ENO Doublenest. I'm excited either way. I love hanging.
Sorry to double post, I just bought my Blackbird! Yay! I hope it gets here before the 10th. I have a camping trip scheduled that weekend. Here's hopin.
Thanks guys, it seems unanimous. 1.1 double layer it is.
Ok I want to order a WBBB today but I don't know which one to get. I know I want the double layer for my foam pad. I weigh 162 pounds and I'm 5'11. Which should I get? Is the 1.7 overkill for me?...
Haha I hear that!
So I'm pretty new and I'm just curious I have any fellow Houston hangers around and if y'all ever do anything in Houston. I'd like to get out more and enjoy hangin' out.
Keep Calm
and
Hang...
Well the first night I slept with that inflatable pad underneath me with no under quilt sleeping bag and froze my rear end off. Plus it was frustrating as it moved around underneath me. The second...
Thanks for your input guys. It seems everybody does their own thing. I guess it varies per person, per hammock, per hang. Thanks everyone.
Any pillow. It seems that the majority of hangers sleep with little inflatable pillows or even the Total Pillow orwhat not. But I can't imagine why anyone would use a pillow if they are sleeping...
This is about the silliest question y'all have probably heard all day but, on my hang this weekend I couldn't use a pillow because my chin was pretty much to my chest anyway because of how the...
I was using the sleeping bag as an under quilt. Got down to the 40s last night so it definitely did the trick for me.
Reason I'm asking is because I have the ENO Doublenest and I like it but I'm wanting to get the Warbonnet Blackbird to add to/start my collection. I'd like to keep the Doublenest as my backup or for...
ya, boy did it rain too! I didn't get wet though. Luckily. And yes next time i'll be pitching it as a diamond and plus i'll only be needing 2 stakes that way too.
It wasn't until today I found out that apparently it is bad for trees to use ropes. I have webbing to use I just brought some hammock hanging rope because it was light and convenient. So what do you...
Actually I didn't know that! I didn't think ropes would have any affect on trees for one or two nights. That's good to know. I have webbing from rock climbing but I used my hammock mounting ropes...
I use these to listen to my iPod. $25 free over night shipping and there is no cord. Nothing gets in the way of anything. http://www.arriva.com/shuffle/index.html see what you think.
Oh I have plenty of questions. Thanks for your help.
Well I'm on the way home from my first real hang. I have an ENO Doublenest and I rigged up a sleeping bag as an under quilt and added a structural rigeline from some rope and had a $4 Academy camo...
I got to watch Shug's first 2 videos and wow, they are so easy to watch and are so helpful. I do know that for me, I'd like to add a structural ridgeline so I can have a fixed sag and won't have to...
I'll do that thank you. And no, unfortunately I don't have the slap straps. I'm using spme extra webbing that I had lying around (I love rock climbing). It works and matches my hammock nicely. I just...
Thanks guys for all your help. My intention is to jury rig a sleeping bag as an under quilt and I was gonna pick up an 8x10 blue tarp from Walmart to use as a fly. That should work right? As I...
Hey guys, I've been here before. Bought a ENO Doublenest years back and loved it. I haven't been camping in some time however and the hobby sort of died before it really took off. But I'm going...
hey I was looking in to getting this hammock stand for my eno doublenest.

Haha I am going to enchanted rock for a week up near Austin. Doing some rock climbing and hiking. I'm excited! :) my whole life i've put up with a tent, I get to hang now! :)
Wow. Very good to know. Thanks. You've all been loads of help. :) I can't wait to start hanging.
Awesome thanks I'll do that. Anyone recommend the eno slap straps.? If the webbing doesn't work out that is.
Oh wow I wouldn't have guessed that. I'm using some webbing from my rock climbing gear to suspend the hammock. But I'm in love with my hammock so far, I'd like to get a good rainfly and bug net. But...
oh yes thank you so much. I'm so excited to start hanging. Thank you also with your patience! I tried getting more of a sag and it makes it much much better. But it's raised one more question, do...
Ok I'm brand new to hanging and just bought an eno doublenest from rei today. It's set up and I'm in it in my backyard right now. When I lay in it the sides/edges fold over me, encasing me like a...
Oh I just saw you asked my major! I'm working on my BS in aeronautical science. I'm a helicopter pilot getting my degree for the credentials! :) thanks
Thank you very much. i do hope to use it inside and out.
I think i'll do that. Thank you very much!!
Thank you very much for your reply. Wow the blackbird looks very nice. I may have to upgrade in time. So is the ENO doublenest and TTTM double too similar to speculate a winner? I want to get the...
