    What goes around comes back.....
    I used this exact set up in Vietnam and Panama during my active service. Used smaller, more flexible stretchers though. When up and over my hammock I could drape my mosquito net and had a good nights sleep even when it rained. Ahhh, the memories

    Looks good Lars. Growing up down in south Florida, I did a lot of camping with a military surplus jungle hammock (Hammock, fly, mosquito net all a single unit.), which, I found, as you would say, quite awesome.

    I first saw this back in 85/86. Ex FFL pal said it kept you off the floor in Guyana training but not used tactically. Works great but needs tethered in windy conditions or it swings about like a bell. Good to see rope still being "daisy chained", my hammock hangs with them. Good vid, thanks.

    Setup actually looks comfy. Warmer times of year it's great to be outdoors while in the outdoors or flaps open to have the lovely outdoor air. When I did camp often and regularly the best investment I made was in the mosquito net shell for hammock or ground. Sigh, I slept so so so so good outdoors while protected from things that bite. Fresh air, quiet but for forest animals, more sighs, best sleep of my whole life.

    I also just bought a super similar hammock, which is probably the same, but with a Hurley label. Got it more for camp lounging, but who knows, maybe I’ll sleep in it. How was your sleep? Oh, and I guess the mat would be important in summer, if for no other reason that the mosquitos wouldn’t be able to sting your butt! 😀

    @Lars For the Eno hammocks the "suspension system" straps come in a second pouch, so either they were not included, or possibly left at home. Either way you've obviously made a good solution with what you have, so no big deal. I forgot about your previous video showing this tarp set up, definitely saving this one so that I don't forget again, seems very handy.

  • @williamwright1434

    If you have a 30 degree angle on your hammock and a double wide hammock, which I believe you have, then if you turn your body 45 degrees you will lie flat and your back will not hurt in the morning. Also, if you have a double layer hammock and you place your sleeping pad between layers and your sleeping pad will not slide on you. There are plenty of videos on RUclips videos on the perfect hammock hang. Also, if you take your your Fjallduken hunter and tie the ends around your hammock so that it stops the air flow from the ends and it hangs loosely so that it does not touch the hammock and the hunter does not touch when get in the hammock it will keep you from getting cold from the underneath.

  • @Hollylivengood
    @Hollylivengood 2 года назад

    I tried an Eno hammock and felt the same misgivings about it's strength. So I made a hammock. i would recommend it, it is easy and you can make it how you want. You want to use heavy duty upholsterers thread and a number 16 needle if you make it out of canvas like I did. Anyway, if you make them a good three feet longer than yourself, and a bit extra wide, you can lay in them corner to corner, and this lets you sleep somewhat flat, which is more comfortable, and on your side if you prefer. Also canvas keeps the creepy crawlies away. I went over the outside of mine with watered down acrylic paint...I admit in somewhat hippy colors...so I had it water proof on the outside, but still soft on the inside, and that also kept the cold and wind out. This was very comfortable in cold nights. With a sleeping bag, I slept like in a womb. That tarp is cool, but with a hammock, you want it to go corner to corner and it will cover. You kind of have to tie down to the ground. Those clamps make a big difference for dealing with the rain if you attach them so the D side is facing down. Seriously. The rain can drip down the tree and flood all over you, but if you have those clamps aiming down, the water follows the downward arc of the D and drips down to the ground. I don't have them, so I got lengths of nylon and tied them on each end like fringes, and that works to guide water away and down to the ground.

    ENO sells the suspension separately from their hammocks, ratchet tie down straps work well in a pinch…. That paracord sounded like it was most unhappy 🤣
    With a 3MX3M tarp you need to hang them corner to corner to cover a hammock unfortunately.
    I use the ENO Jungle nest or the Camo nest with the ENO housefly rain tarp or my aqua quest defender tarp when I’m out, they do make for a lite weight sleeping system that gets you off the ground BUT they are COLD and require a lot of testing various setups and insulation before you just run into the woods and go camping.

    • @Hollylivengood
      @Hollylivengood 2 года назад +1

      The cold is why I use canvas. Just a suggestion about the cold: I discovered making an under hang of the tarp that you sling over the hammock. take one side of that tarp and zing in under the hammock and up the other side, like a little envelope and it keeps the wind out.
