    hammock rookie from Hickory NC

    Hello all, i bought a eno doublenest in April at the REI anniversary sale, i finally got to use it last week on a quick overnighter. It was great except dealing with the pad, messing with my home made bug net, lack of storage and everytime i got out of my hammock something would be falling on the ground like my bag or pillow. But last week i solved all my issues, i sold my eno and ordered a WBBB DL 1.1, Warbonnet Mamajamba tarp, and early next week im gonna order a hammockgear.com phoenix or incubator underquit. I dont know what to do about the underquit, it just seems like you need more than one, im thinking a 40 degree phoenix and a 20 degree incubator. Any suggestions would be great. thanks for having me.

    Welcome to the greatest show between 2 trees! You are headed down the same path I am. Since I've got my WBBB in i gave my wife the ENO DN, she won't be hiking that much. Boy i know what you mean about crap falling out, it gets aggravating BUT I can tell you your problems are almost over. The WBBB is an awesome hammock! As for UQ and TQ I took up sewing and made my own for the summer but when the temp drops you cant go wrong with anything StormCrow makes.

    Welcome and dont be afraid to try DIY stuff, its a blast.

    welcome to the madness from down on the coast and another welcome to the BB Clan. Be nice and get your wife a BB and she might go camping with you.
