ENO DoubleNest Hammock

 

ENO DoubleNest Hammock, Red/Grey

I bought the ENO DoubleNest Hammock at Cabela's a few months ago and have used it quite a bit. I use this hammock for day trips and overnights. 

First, I'm so glad I went with the DoubleNest. It's more comfortable if just hanging my legs over the side and leaning back than a single hammock. Additionally....when I lay on my side in this hammock (yes, you can do that comfortably in a double!) the sides fold over the top, nearly putting me in a comfy cocoon! I've thought to get a couple clamps to keep the flaps closed, keeps it so warm when doing overnights. 

It's a very breathable material (Nylon Taffeta, whatever that is...) so you stay comfortable lying in it when it's warm, down to about 60 degrees at night. Below 60 I'd recommend a sleeping bag and/or under-quilt. It will handle 400 pounds and is 9 feet long, plenty of room. I suppose you could sleep two in it, but I've not tried, loner as I am. :) The hammock weighs 19 oz., not adding too much weight to my pack.

I use the ENO Atlas suspension system to hang my hammock, easy work of hanging and taking down. The hammock has an aluminum carabiner on each end that is very strong, no issues with bending when I've used the hammock. (I weigh in at 165 lbs.) I've never had any slippage and the hammock keeps it's shape throughout the day and night.

It fits into the attached bag that doubles as a light gear holder. I use it for my glasses and phone typically. It's an easy fit back into the bag, no issues or frustration. I usually leave one carabiner out for the starting point of hanging, but you don't need to. The bag comes with a buckle to keep it tight. 

I'll be reviewing the under-quilt and tarp later, during the summer I haven't had the need to use either. I recommend this hammock strongly, enough to buy my hiking buddy one too. It's the Limited Edition Hammock Day 2020 print, also a DoubleNest. I expect to use the hammock in the Ozark Mountains all winter, I believe my equipment will keep me comfortable to about 20 degrees, about right for an Arkansas winter. 

Oh, and it survived a bear bump while I was in it.... :) Until the next review....

Ozark Hiking Life

Hi, I'm Mike Edwards. I started hiking the Ozarks earlier this Spring, a result of wanting to get out of the house during the COVID pandemic. I went once, then the next weekend....and now its a part of my weekly life. Day-hikes turned to overnights.... rattler and bear run-ins only added to the stories. Oh, and the rocks....man, if you have any interest in rocks the Ozark Mountains are for you.  I want to share my trips in hopes that my experiences will give you the desire to get out and explore. I plan to post my weekend trips either during the trip where internet allows...or when I return from an adventure. Every trip has a story, an experience that I would not have without getting into the realm of the Natural State, the Ozark Mountains. I hope my stories and pictures inspire you to take a day trip to an Ozark stop....I'll bet it won't be your last.  Welcome, and enjoy. -Mike

Lee Creek, Devil's Den State Park, Winslow, Arkansas

Lee Creek early in the Morning, Devil's Den State Park Devil's Den offers a number of trails, hike-in camping and great places to explore. For me, it's Lee Creek. If you are an amateur geologist there are amazing features. Like fossils? There are areas along the creek that are treasure droves for various fossil types. Caves? Yep. Plant life and wild flowers line the creek, and because of the rock formations causing all day shade in some spots while other areas may be in full sun there is quite a diversity. And regarding animals I've seen deer on every trip, and the creek holds a number of sunfish and bass, frogs, crayfish and of course the occasional snake.  Cave upstream on Lee Creek, strong spring runs from this cave To get to Lee Creek trail it's best to start in the Primitive or Hike-In Camping area at Devil's Den State Park. If you aren't staying overnight you can park at the trailhead that is located in the Primitive Camping (A) area. It's located ...
