Until today, I thought it was easy. My last visit to REI, I spied a cool looking item. A ENO Doublenest hammock. Down here in central Texas, it trends to be a bit warm. I thought a hammock would be a cool thing to try out. (Never been in one let along slept in one...) REI didn't have the bugnet which is a must here, so when I returned home I looked up ENO. I ended up ordering a Onelink Doublenest system. I have high hope for my purchase (for the cost a bit more then I ever would have dream spending on a hammock). Complete system for about $235 to include the cool looking Possum Pocket. Finally placed the order this morning.
I should have known that there must be a forum out there for hammock right? Didn't even think about it. Well, I found it after I placed the order.... I spent the day reading. Now I am wondering for $235 if my purchase was a good one. (I.e. getting the best equipment for the dollar...) Any opinions? REI carries a Hennessy but I am not sure if they have everything that the ENO kit has. Of if they are equal to or better for comfort.
I wanted to try a hammock for this weekend Boy Scout canoe trip which I am attending. No tents are allowed. A hammock sounded like a great way to skirt the rules.
Should I stick with the ENO for my first hammock or return it for something else?
