Eno Single Nest Hammock Test and Review for Wilderness Survival, Equip 2 Endure

Review of our Eno Single Nest Hammock. Going over the features of the hammock and some possible configuration to use, even in the winter time. This will be Part 1 of a series reviewing and testing this hammock. Just completed an overnighter with the winter setup to see how warm this shelter type would keep us.

Hey cool vid. I haven't got one of these but maybe you can tell me whether or not a fire bed setup would work with this hammock in a winter environment. You know, dig a hole, fill it up with charcoals and cover it with dirt again, Jeremiah Johnson style. Should keep you warm, and wouldn't catch a spark don't you think? Thanks

@Vandervalter19 , I used heated rocks, I'm sure a fire bed would work. Just make sure no embers are exposed.

Dude, the wicking water away with the 550 cord is a great idea! thanks

@jons4real Thanks!

do you know the maximum distance the 2 trees need to be to use this hammock? and is it possible to modify the hammock to get the 2 trees to be farther apart?

[Equip2Endure]

@AJAX7701 , Well you can make the distance as far as you want as long as you have enough cord, the longer it is though the more the hammock will sag, and that can cause back pain. The best rule of thumb is to stretch out your arms side to side, finger tip to finger tip is the same as your hight. Add a few inched each side and that is about the closest you want your trees to be, if you want to be able to extend all the way out.

My wife bought me that hammock for my birthday. Same color even. I've used at a lot with my military sleeping bag. It's great for warmer seasons.

just ordered one, is there any way to rig a tent-like cover to keep the elements off? other than the bug net and rain cover, worried about allergies lol

One thing you have to remember is not all places allow you to set up a hammock in fear for the trees. Even though ENO's slap strap and slap strap pro are "tree safe" they still aren't allowed
