This generic hammock and bug net is all an ENO is at a fraction of the cost.
Pros
- Same materials as the ENO with perfect sewing
- Extra wide, at 78" there's room for two
- Complete package—hammock, tree straps, biners
- Cheap enough to buy seven vs one DoubleNest + Atlas Straps
- Buying this will help the fat CEO and board members of ENO lose weight and live a healthier life LOL!!!
Cons
- You go figure. I dunno. Hahaha
Found it on Ebay and along with the generic Hammock Mosquito Net By Advanced Portable I paid under $30 total for both including biners and tree straps. I could have bought a tarp a bit cheaper, but opted for a Hennessey Hammock Hex Asym for $65. Total complete under a C note and a bit over 4 lbs. trail weight.
A full setup from ENO would have cost $250 and it's all made in China to help the fat get fatter at ENO and other similar US marketing companies. I say feed the Chinese and not the corporate greed to save the glut for my own meager bank account.
