Camping and Backpacking GEAR thread

I'm just not sure if I want a wider one or not. Maybe I'll get a regular width and try it out, if it's uncomfortable I'll just give it to my gf and buy the wide width..

 

Same. Plus, part of the reason I go camping is so I can do things at my own pace. I'm never really in a hurry to pack up camp and hit the trails so I don't mind taking a few extra minutes to roll up a sleeping pad. Especially, if it helps me sleep better throughout the night.

 

Sometimes you just gotta get in your miles for the day, and every minute counts. I like to get up early, get the hiking done, and relax in the afternoon. Ironic, because I hate mornings and I'd go as slow as a turtle if I had my way.

 

That suuuucks! Nothing slows a morning down like a bad night's sleep.

 

Tent sold and shipped!

Thanks @phx13!

 

Anyone have anything bad to say about the ENO doublenest? That is what I was originally looking at but it was pricey... right now they are on sale.

 

My friend has one and likes it fine. Where are they on sale?

 

There's no suspension included with them so really they aren't much cheaper. I just ordered the Dutch with hexon 2.4 and a ridgeline last night. $50 shipped to me...if I wanted a wide one it would have been $65, or the wide without the ridgeline (essentially the doublenest) under $60.

 

Online... from Eagles nest outfitters, Amazon and most other places online

 

I still see them at $70. Isn't that normal price?

 

Idk I got an add in the mail the other day from bass pro and it said it was a sale... maybe bass pro had them marked up and tricked me, lol. But I am on bass pros website and it says 69 as well.. idk lol scratch the sale then I guess

 

Ah that old trick.

Like how things on Amazon MSRP for $300 but are on "sale" for $30 lol

 

You could see if @SalmonTaco has any more 40% off coupons and get a Thermarest slacker double...normally $80 would be $48 plus shipping.

 

ENO is good. But just basic and no suspension. On the heavy side if you're using it for backpacking. I use ENO for our backyard hammocks but not for backpacking or even car camping.

 

I am looking into Bear Butt hammocks right now. Apparently they are a start up

 

What's your choice then? Recommendations for the lightest weight but strongest hammock for us big guys? You gals are lucky and can hang in those ultra lightweight hammocks

 

I looked and it says the ENO is only 20oz. OutdoorGearLab has a nice list and a lot of them are about there. Some higher, some lower, but 20oz certainly isn't too heavy to backpack with.

I backpack with mine. Granted, I'm not into ultralight or anything but at 20 oz it's not that heavy.

 

That's just the hammock. Add whatever suspension system to that weight.

 

I bought this little lantern for the next fishing trip I tried it at home and I am pretty satisfied of the light output.
