Hammocks Are All The Rage Now

ENO's are the shite. I have a double nest with the mosquito net and rain fly. I camp during squirrel season with it and during deer season until it gets colder

Or is that just the most familiar and there are other brands just as good for less than $60?

Anyone have one? How do you like it?

My wife has a Grand Trunk and loves it. I think they are cheaper.

I thought about getting one for camping. But, the past couple of years, I've started to see a lot of people switching back to tents, once the hype wore off. I don't know which to believe, but I'd read some unbiased reviews by people who have used them a season or two. A lot of people say they're uncomfortable. I don't see how they can be worse than sleeping on the lumpy, hard ground, but who knows.

I'd avoid it, next thing you know you'lll be walking around barefoot wearing capris.

and playing frolf

I think I'm safe from that.

I've just been noticing them everywhere nowadays so figured they're pretty popular. Didn't know there was a hammock forum... Guess I better do my research.

Don't plan on sleeping in one for camping but would be nice to chill in it at the lake, Park, backyard etc when the weather is nice.

I have one that I love, but it was hand woven in Honduras. Darn comfortable too.......mine fits just right between the support braces in my shop building, right in front of the A/C vent.

I've got an ENO, SMR, and a Dream Hammock. The Dream Hammock is by far my favorite, and what I've used for the past 6 years on my extended backpack hunts in Colorado. I previously used a tent and sleeping pad, but once you get used to a hammock, they are much more comfortable. Just hanging out reading a book, drinking a beer, etc... it's not as important to hang it properly and you don't need an expensive one. But for sleeping overnight in you want to make sure you get the hang right. As mentioned above, hammock forums is a good resource. The hammock calculator will help a lot too. LINK /

I have a piece of hunting property an hour away. Each year I hang mine ( don't know what brand) and catch the best naps between morning and evening hunt after I eat my sack lunch

Absolutely love my eno double nest. Takes about one min to set up. So comfy, amazing product
