    You of course want to try this out in your backyard where you can bail and go inside if it gets too cold

    My KAQ is by far best investment I've made in hammocking so far...

Consider also that if you buy a BB or HH you'll be able to turn it over on the forum in a matter of hours if you decide it's not for you. That's probably not true with the ENO.

    Off topic- are you an IDPA or USPSA competitor? I swear, "slow is smooth and smooth is fast" was their MOTTO or something... I heard it ALL the time
    In this set up the only thing I would need to buy would be the hammock. I'm thinking of one of those $16 hammocks from walmart or Amazon for the under hammock.
    Off topic: I don't know what those letters stand for, so I'm not a part of them. I'm a Firefighter/Paramedic, and I say "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast." in the back of the Ambulance when the EMT's get a little panicked during those serious runs'. i.e.: Cardiac Arrests, Pediatric runs. It seems to work most of the time. It's become my mantra.
    Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

    I've slept in my ENO Single down to 9 degrees, with just a pad, 20 degree bag, and an extra blanket on top. As others have said, it's not the hammock, but the insulation.

    Hey that's excellent advice and I'll agree whole heartedly with on you on the KAQ ... works great, good price and I don't have to worry about it if it gets soaked!

    Well I took the plunge and bought a Doublenest. Well, not really a plunge I guess. My friend owns a river supply place and gave me a great discount on an already inexpensive hammock. He wants me to order an Ember so he can check it out before he orders a bunch of them. He said he would make it worth my while. Tempting.

    I use the ENO Doublenest with a DIY primaloft underquilt down to freezing.


    Combining that with a closed cell foam pad, I've comfortably used it down to 18 F.

    I have often used a ENO with a kickass quilt down below freezing up here in northern New York State. I used to do quite commonly.

    Eno Doubles are the best for winter camping IMO summer you will need a bug net though! Get a 3/4 underquilt stormcrow makes a good one for a very fair price.

    Eagle Nest Hammocks hang great with the KickAssQuilt in the early spring and late summer.

    All I have are ENO hammocks. I've modified my main one so I have a permanent bug net, side pullouts and two full length zippers. Much the same as the Switchback.

    I've slept very comfortably down to 20*f with a DIY primaloft UQ. The Taffeta fabric is wonderful feeling, and the Doublenest is wide enough to get a good diagonal lay in.

    Great hammock but........I'm not impressed with anything else ENO produces.
