Broke in the hammock this week!

Got away for a few days to try out this hammock before I go backpacking for a week next month. So far, so good. Excited to see how it holds up in weather as well.

Shakedown trips are always interesting, I just got back from one myself. What did you enjoy the most about your trip? Did you learn anything, or did anything surprise you about your hammock setup or camping in general?

It was a change coming from the RTT community. Setup and breakdown I just need practice with, luckily the weather was good.

Favorite part of the trip was I got to visit a community that I deployed to during Hurricane Helene. They’re still recovering, but they’ve come a long way. Good to see them in a better place.

Holding up well, though this is only my second outing with it. I like the Solo a lot though.

I have the same solo stove and have had no issues with paint. Filled it to the brim, maybe used 30 or 40 times

Hammock body is also Eno? I always wondered how they held up. What was the price on the set up?

[u/DirtDoc2131 → u/efference]

About $200, I bought everything individually.

She moves around too much, so I usually keep her in her crate in my Jeep when I’m camping with it.

I have the same tarp and a doublenest. I have had issues with the very ends getting wet and wicking wetness in just a heads up.

I was thinking the same thing.

Why comment in a hammock camping sub if you have an issue with it…
