Can we have a hammocks general thread?
I just ordered babby's first eno doublenest, nylon webbing for straps and some 1.9mm tech line to make a ridgeline from. Will return and report on how the ridgeline thing goes.

Using a hammock while /out/ is one of the best things I've done for overall enjoyability since I started hiking.

Pic realted is the setup I use, Warbonnet Blackbird with Mamajamba tarp. Pic is not mine since weather is shit and I dont have enough trees to hang mine right now

always wanted a hamcock but i live in le desert and usually stealth camp.

Also that first picture in OP really makes me question what I'm doing with my life.

I've been using a Hennessy Expedition A-sym for the past few years, and it's been serving me well. Had a squirrel chew some of the mosquito netting on my last trip of the summer though, and I need to patch it this winter. Knew a guy who had used his hennesy for over 10k miles of trips, they're good quality, if a little more mainstream.

My only problem with my hammock is the A-sym fly, it works but there have been nights when I've wished for a 6 point fly so I could have 4 pegs, and therefore less rain blowing up inside my hammock and getting me wet. That can be avoided by making sure your fly is set up properly (and weighted: protip, a full nalgene with a beaner makes a GREAT weight for a corner of your fly!) but a 6 point would allow me to be less diligent about setup.

Pic related: best picture I've taken of my hammock.
