I'm 200 lbs and tend to be skeptical of weight ratings on things like this. Anyone have any experience with these particular ones? What he said. I'm around 250 when on a fat and 230 regular weight. Will this sumbitch pitch me in the dirt? I weight about 195, and I've spent a bunch of nights in mine with no problems. On a cold night, I also have a pad, sleeping bag, etc. I've also hung an eno gear sling from mine to hold a pack and rifle. Just pitch it at the correct angle with the proper suspension and you should be fine. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Those look perfect ... unforutnalty woot just fucked me. I tried to buy 4 of them for prizes for employees and signed in on my Amazon account but wanted to put on a company credit card ... Went to order and they didn't give the option of changing payment method. Pushed it straight through my personal account... Wtf? What online retailer doesn't give you chance to change payment method before charging?? |

is the quality of these hammocks on par with say ENO? They seem to be lighter in specs. I currently just use an eno double nest and hennessy hex fly. for my set up. it's a nice set up for me b/c I usually just use my tent b/c it's lighter for the most part than my hammock set up haha . May get one for a spare though.

This will be my second summer taking my son out camping. Time to move him up to backpacking in remote areas where being off the ground allows you to sleep safer and sounder |

Ordered. I wanted one of these last time they were on sale but I missed it when I had a chance to try to order.
Might make a day trip out to the middle of nowhere on the motorcycle once I figure out how to set it up.

On colder nights you will want some sort of pad under you, otherwise a sleeping bag won't be sufficient to block the cold air. Some people use these. I use a Thermarest pad along with a 20*F down bag in the colder months. |

When you use a sleeping bag, you are crushing the insulation with your weight. This allows the wind to steal your heat via convection. A sleeping bag will work great for the rest of your body, but your backside will still get cold. Place a thermarest under your sleeping bag, and you'll be fine. The thermarest helps trap the warm air and keeps your backside warm. If overnight temps are above 70, you'll probably not need the pad, but I bring one anyway. |

Got mine today... Seems very well built.. Was disappointed to see there is no suspension system as the description said it was ready to go out of the box.. I have some from my other hammock but will end up getting a dedicated one for this one as not to switch back and forth.

Got mine yesterday and now I've been sucked into suspensions systems ... continuous loops, whoopie slings, DutchWare Dutch Buckles, Hammock Fan's titanium anchors ... my head is spinning.
I just want a fairly robust setup but trying to shave every ounce is not one of my overall goals. |

I just want a fairly robust setup but trying to shave every ounce is not one of my overall goals. the easiest most simple and robust way is a piece of webbing for the tree strap and a cinch buckle for adjustment. It is literally a piece of webbing with a caribeaner or dutch clip at one end and you run it through the cinch buckle that you attach to the clips on the ends of the hammocks. The entire system can be put together for about $12 He shows this from about 2:45-5:00... guy is a bit of a character but has alot of useful information..

19oz for the single with the netting, so yes. But a full hammock sleep system with insulation and rainfly can get as heavy, or heavier than a single BP tent and air mattress. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I'm tempted.  Got a backpacker coming up in a month with kids from the church.
We were going to build shelters but this would be much be easier. Are these light enough that I'm going to want to stick them in backpacks? What do they weigh, any idea? 19oz for the single with the netting, so yes. But a full hammock sleep system with insulation and rainfly can get as heavy, or heavier than a single BP tent and air mattress. It's not always about having a lighter setup. Personally I find the flexibility and comfort of a hammock considerably greater than any tent of equal or lesser weight. |

I set mine up Sunday night as a test run & the kids like them.
They are going to require some tweaking for my 250 lb frame. I also bought the flys that were on sale with the hammocks. They'll do in a pinch, but I think I'd like something bigger.
