If you are an average weight person and planning to use underquilts as your primary insulation below the hammock, I don't see any point to carrying the extra weight of the double layer.

- You are a heavy person who needs additional strength in the cloth that supports your weight

I’m trying to figure out what hammock to pick up for camping to upgrade my eno double nest. I’m tied between a Hennessy hammock (perhaps the jungle XL) or a hammock gear circadian pro.

The Hennessy hammocks have the two layer system so you can put a sleeping pad in between the layers for warmer nights. I like this feature, but I know many here dislike Hennessy and it comes at a large cost premium.

How useful do you think the double layer is?

Double layered hammock vs single layered

..  Warbonnet Blackbird XLC with their Wookie UQ rated at 0 degrees along with an UQP made by 2QZQ - then I use my Outdoor Vitals Summit series -15 down bag as a top quilt.

. wearing a good down jacket is also a must.  I may also slide a Thermarest NeoXtherm Max pad in between the double layer.

As the title goes, what hangs under your bum, what conditions have you used it in, and what features do you like about it, or dont like if that is a thing.

No more cold bottom, what is your underquilt?

 you want to try to stop the convection from stealing the heat away, so you are comfortable. If you have down or similar it will compress under you can be cold. If you can get enough material under you it will work. Your feet and lower legs are less important than your torso

 This for me is perfect. I don’t need a pillow in my hammock, my head is where I like it. Not too high, not too low.

Hey guys! Im done with the noob gear that I have for hammocking and am looking to get a whole new set up. The only problem Is I dont know what I want. Ive been mooved by the whole UL movement and am trying to get things that are light weight but will last. The biggest issue im having is figuring out what kind of sleep system/insulation I want/need. 

Hammock: The Hammock I have now (Equip double) I could never get into a comfortable diagonal lay without feeling like the sides of the hammock were straining my neck and forcing my legs back in. Laying strait seemed to be the only way I could fit in my UQ and still feel comfy though I would consistently have issues with my knees hurting since I was in the banana shape. I would usually remedy this with putting something under my knees which worked great. This leads me to believe that a smaller hammock with less slack might be ok for me especially since they will be lighter weight as well. Something like the hummingbird single+ or the Wise Owl (bare bones) seem like a good place to start? They are both around 9 ft in length and 400-450 weight capacity ( I'm 5'3 and weigh about 180 plus or minus a cheeseburger). It seems like a good idea in my head but so do all my ideas. Practicality from someone who has this set up or has done this set up whould be very much appreciated. Dont wabt to go spend a tone of money on something that doesn't work. Also if there is a diagonal hammock out there specifically built to be diagonal without it being a nightmare for my neck, recommendations are always welcome.

UQ and Top quilt: I sort of BYOG on this one using 3 quilts I got from Costco. I use 2 as my UQ (wide not long so equivalent to a 3/4s UQ) and 1 as my TQ just to lay on top of me as I sleep. I will say now that this setup is NOT a 4 season setup and is pushing 3 season though I will say I never once got a cold butt while camping, just cold feet 😩. I know for a fact that om gonna change out my top quilt for something a little warmer. I'm just curious if I should take it a step further and turn my top quilt into a Peapod system since im looking at doing a strait lay set up anyway. Ive been looking at the burrow custom from HG with the zipper foot box and wide and just mod it a bit. Has anyone done this with this kind of set up I mean? I figure I could just carry the one quilt I use as a TQ now to fill the dead air since it packs down so small but I dont want to go out a buy a $300 top quilt just for this to not work. Main reason I'm looking to converting rather than picking up something like the 1) Hyke and Blyke peapod or the 2) Outdoor vitals, I need something that is gonna keep me warm all night long and they don't seem to have the greatest reviews. Maybe its just the design of peapod overall but I figured I see what you guys think. HG's burrow looks like a great hammock and it can be converted for ground which is great. I'm more than happy to carry both Top and Bottom quilts but just want to exhaust all ideas before pulling the trigger on something so expensive haha.

Thanks for reading through all this. A pain in the butt I know but I really appreciate the feedback.

Thinking about doing a thing with a top quilt. Need to know if its been done before or if I should even do it.

Ordered my first "non-generic" hammock. Went with the Warbonnet Blackbird XLC. Anyone have any experiences with it? I love every feature about it, especially the idea of adding top covers or underquilts later if need be. Every review I see is great

 Any thoughts from you guys? Hoping to ditch the tent fully this year and strictly use the hammock!

  Top notch craftsmanship, super comfortable fabrics (dream tex nylon) and has a ton of accessories to fit whatever type of hammocking youre into.  Super recommend.

Hey y’all, I’ve been taking hanging a lot more seriously lately, and I’m looking to upgrade my Eno Doublenest to something more comfortable to sleep in. I’m a taller guy, and I’ve found the Eno puts a lot of pressure on my feet and heels. This sub has opened me up to a wide world of hammock options, but what are folks currently recommending for premium camping hammocks these days?

2021 hammock recommendations? Upgrading from an Eno

I am your size - just go buy a Warbonnet blackbird XLC double layer and you will be safe and HAPPY…. You wanna lay like a banana and not be happy and buy the Eno and save a couple bucks. But if you were serious about actually laying flat and feeling great and a hammock Warbonnet has hit the ball out of the park with the black bird XLC

Ok so I’ve only camped in a gimmick twice and it was with a cheapo sams club hammock. I want to get into something better. I am 6’3” 260. I was thinking of an eno hammock setup but I hear they are shorter and have seen that 11 foot hammocks are recommended any thoughts on what I should go with a 75$ dollar max for the hammock

Wanting advice on a hammock setup

 Steer clear of Dutch - his hammocks are overpriced and he nickel and dimes his customers on options that other vendors include for less money.

 I can say that a *longer* hammock is more comfortable than a shorter one. I made a 12.5' one for a trial and it was more comfy than my 11' Blackbird.

5' one for a trial and it was more comfy than my 11' Blackbird...which was already pretty dang comfy

I am a bit new to hammock camping, but I tried it out last summer and loved it. Being able to sleep on my side and not having rocks in my back was amazing! That being said, I ran into a few different problems. Namely, I have broad shoulders, weigh 240 pounds and I am 6ft. I stayed in an older Hennesey and although I enjoyed the experience it felt like my shoulders were squeezed pretty tightly.  Additionally, I camp in Minnesota so weather can vary quite a bit, below -30 to above 100. I'd like to get a few different opinions. 

1) Do you recommend the XLC, or the Wide Chameleon for me? 

2) Am I able to get a -20 UQ and just hang it lower when its warmer (I probably won't use it above 50 degrees)?  


I would like to be able to use my gear all year this year (1 spring trip, 2 summer trips, 5 fall trips, 2 winter trips). What should I buy?

Review of Warbonnet Blackbird Double Layer Hammock w/ Superfly Tarp

Don't feel like sharing? The SingleNest understands. Pull the SingleNest out of its soft-ball-sized stuff sack, clip it to your handy-dandy SlapStraps, and settle in for some me-time. Light enough to make the backpacker's cut, but robust enough for backyard luxury, the SingleNest is the go-to for any occasion. PLEASE NOTE: HAMMOCK SUSPENSION STRAPS ARE SOLD SEPARATELY.

Available in 26 colors, this breathable, quick-drying nylon hammock is small enough to take anywhere but durable enough to last for years.

 and they're Pro nests which is 13 ounces. That's kind of more of a backpacking hammock. It has an attached stuff sack with compression straps, so it packs down nice and small, and that stuff sack also conveniently turns into a drink holder when you're sitting in the hammock. We also have the slap straps, which are sold separately, but they make it super easy to put up

 That's compared to their double nest at 21s. That's a two-person hammock. and they're Pro nests which is 13 ounces. That's kind of more of a backpacking hammock

 So as for comfort, it really doesn't matter if you're setting this up in your garage, your backyard, or out on the trail, you will definitely enjoy sitting or sleeping in this hammock. You can just kick back, especially if it's a little bit windy. You can kind of curl these corners up, just wrap yourself up in it. It's a super comfortable hammock no matter what you're using it for

ENO Singlenest Hammock Review

Also, keep in mind that you'll need a bug net, tarp, and some sort of insulation for your backside for the first and last month or so (UQ, pad, etc).  All of that starts adding up, and it usually ends up being cheaper to just use a tent.  Most of us don't hammock because it's cheap, we do it because it's so much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground.

  I always thought my eno was comfortable until I got an 11' hammock, and now I'd rather sleep in that than my bed at home. It's that good. 

 

I am aiming to thru hike the Appalachian Trail in a year or two and am looking into hammock camping. I initially chose hammock camping because I already had an eno single nest and thought it would save me a little money. I know that I still need to get things like a bug net and tarp, but I think I've found some options that would still be cheaper than purchasing a whole new set up.

The problem is all the enos I've seen recommended for a thru have been double nests, not single. I am kind of young and trying to save money where I can, but I wanted to know it if would be worth it to spend the money on a new hammock that might better suit my needs or stick with what I have and make it work.

If I were to buy a new hammock I would probably look at something like Hennessy or blackbird or something made specifically with thru hiking in mind.

Thru Hiking Hammocks

Made a purchase of several items though it was a few dollars cheaper at another online site and was wanting a price match but found it has to be like for like...

Eno Hammick works great!

 They are easy to put up and move to another spot (which the kids do themselves at camp). They pack up compactly and the storage bags are perfect. The single hammock is a great size (the first kid got a double & we like the single size better).

Compact & Easy to Assemble

 How you doing everybody? Tim here from that I have the Eno 16 ounces you are looking at I Really don't know because I'm a today I have the Eno single net hmm I think I just ate a buck. How you doing everybody Tim here from the Tactical Defender and I have the Eno single nest hammock in olive green and khaki my favorite colors. It comes in this very nice stuff sack. The whole combination as you see it right here with carabiners is only 16 ounces

 I usually carry it like this I put it inside my pack but I leave this out I Get to a spot I set up my tree strap I hook one end on and then I undo the rest and walk it to the next tree. Fantastic hammock. It is very small as you can tell. You can hang it on your pack like that or you can just stuff it in your backpack the way I do
