ENO Hammock

[OzaawaaMigiziNini]

Eagle Nest Outfitters makes some nifty hammocks, with many accessories. I got the single person hammock with Pro-straps rather than rope. So far I can set it up in 2 minutes or less, and have camped out several times with it. Two bits of information I can give are these:

1) it says it can take up to 400 lbs, and trust me, it can. I had me and a friend (about 420 altogether) sittng on the hamkock, jumping a bit on it, just to see if any damage would happen... nothing!

2) ake sure you have a sleeping bag on any chilly night! Parachute Nylon is not very insulative (I have not had any experience with hammocks before this, so this might be a given to you more experienced folks). But my first night in it, was a nightmare, comfortable, but freezing!

Anyone else carry this brand of hammock? Anyone else interested in them?

try using a self inflating sleeping mat inside the hammock, very cosy

Cool, thanks for the heads up on this one..

I quite like the idea of the straps, how many holes does the slap strap have on it for setup??

cheers LB

the bush pod pro is dead cool, about as fast to put up as anything could be, very large, strong and packs down into its own little sac that'll sit outside my rucksac so i can set it up while i'm having a brew and chill for an hour, take in the sights and generally enjoy being alive!

DDhammocks are better value, more for the money ?

I second your opinion of the Bush Pod Pro, about the same size (and comfort )as the Magikelly Group Buy Hammocks but double layered. The ENO looks very similar in concept to the Pro pod but I think the ENO is only a single layer ( can someone confirm if that's true or not please ) which is slightly disappointing as Bushkit haven't updated their website in a long time and so may not be making stuff anymore.

These look very much like the Paradise Hammocks that the group buy ones are based on. http://www.paradisehammocks.co.uk/ I have a Paradise double hammock and would never swap it, it's so comfy. And they're cheaper!

couple of climbers daisey chains will do the same job - or buy some webbibg tape and put a few overhand knots in it.

You are indeed a brave person - there is no way I would have my dog in with me, he is an English Bull Terrier and snores and farts constantly
