What does your hammock and suspension weigh?

**Wanderlost** · 10-23-2014, 07:20

My main *camping* hammock: 1.1 Double layer roaming gnome in a CF bishop bag with whoopies, whoopie hooks, and 8' straps: 25.7 oz.

My ENO Doublenest with really long straps (12' each, maybe?), dutch clips, and buckle suspension is 25.6. I'm swapping that out for a Duthware PolyD, which should have been here yesterday, but the post office is out to get me. >:-(

I work for a scale company, so I have access to crazy accurate scales. One day I'll count milligrams.

Woah! You work for a SCALE co. and hike/camp? You are a God among (weight weenie) men! :-)

BTW, my setup comes in around 18 oz. (homemade Argon 11')

Anyone use www.geargrams.com to keep track of all of this?

I looked at gear grams, but my problem is I'm an Apple nut and like to have my iPad handy when packing. It's a flash enabled website and as such doesn't work on an iPad. I used Gram Weenie for a while, but it lacked certain organizational features I wanted. I wound up just making up my own Numbers spreadsheet.

I have started to do the same thing. I used to try and make my hammocks out of really lightweight material but I have noticed a few wear marks in some of the hammocks so I am going back to 1.9oz material from the 1.0 and 1.1oz fabric that I have been using. Also, the thinner material has alittle more stretch than I prefer and I worry less about having to replace my hammock every year from all the wear. I am an avid backpacker and adding weight to my pack sucks but in this case, im ok with it.

In response to the thread, my hammocks range wildly in weight because of the different types of suspensions and features on the hammocks.
