Best Hammocks - Page 2

I would suggest from campingcentral.com.au double hammock stand frame, I have very similar model, and I must say it's really easily assembled.
What do you think?

It will depend on your use and how you usually sleep.

I really like the looks of the Blackbird. I've long considered getting a hammock for backpacking. I usually bring one along but it doesn't have a bug net or fly so I never sleep in it. The Blackbird looks like I can kill two birds with one stone. I can leave my tent home and also have something to lounge around camp in.

It is now on my to buy list. Thanks for putting it on my radar.

The Blackbird is my favorite for all around hammock camping, the Clark for cold weather and the others fill in on trips.
Wait until you start tweaking the rigging and fly configurations. You'll always be trying to make the perfect system!

Hi...

Have you tried hammockforums.net?

I purchased an ENO single nest last week and have to say I was impressed. It is compact, light weight and very well made. I hung it in the yard, set up a tarp over it and spent the night to test it out and I think it's the most comfortable hammock I've owned.

I probably won't use it instead of a tent for camping because there is no insect netting and the one ENO sells costs almost as much as the hammock itself.

But for a hammock to bring along to use to relax in camp it's near perfect.

aw briansnat, you are missing out! I have the combo ENO One Link w Single Nest and its perfect for camping. Much more expensive but definitely worth the price (my husband is a member at sportsmansguide so I was able to get it for only $170 + FS!)... highly recommend

That fly seems pretty narrow. Have you used in heavy, wind driven rain? It seems the flys that come with some other hammock systems wider and provide more cover.
