ENO DoubleNest Hammock

 

ENO DoubleNest Hammock, Red/Grey

I bought the ENO DoubleNest Hammock at Cabela's a few months ago and have used it quite a bit. I use this hammock for day trips and overnights. 

First, I'm so glad I went with the DoubleNest. It's more comfortable if just hanging my legs over the side and leaning back than a single hammock. Additionally....when I lay on my side in this hammock (yes, you can do that comfortably in a double!) the sides fold over the top, nearly putting me in a comfy cocoon! I've thought to get a couple clamps to keep the flaps closed, keeps it so warm when doing overnights. 

It's a very breathable material (Nylon Taffeta, whatever that is...) so you stay comfortable lying in it when it's warm, down to about 60 degrees at night. Below 60 I'd recommend a sleeping bag and/or under-quilt. It will handle 400 pounds and is 9 feet long, plenty of room. I suppose you could sleep two in it, but I've not tried, loner as I am. :) The hammock weighs 19 oz., not adding too much weight to my pack.

I use the ENO Atlas suspension system to hang my hammock, easy work of hanging and taking down. The hammock has an aluminum carabiner on each end that is very strong, no issues with bending when I've used the hammock. (I weigh in at 165 lbs.) I've never had any slippage and the hammock keeps it's shape throughout the day and night.

It fits into the attached bag that doubles as a light gear holder. I use it for my glasses and phone typically. It's an easy fit back into the bag, no issues or frustration. I usually leave one carabiner out for the starting point of hanging, but you don't need to. The bag comes with a buckle to keep it tight. 

I'll be reviewing the under-quilt and tarp later, during the summer I haven't had the need to use either. I recommend this hammock strongly, enough to buy my hiking buddy one too. It's the Limited Edition Hammock Day 2020 print, also a DoubleNest. I expect to use the hammock in the Ozark Mountains all winter, I believe my equipment will keep me comfortable to about 20 degrees, about right for an Arkansas winter. 

Oh, and it survived a bear bump while I was in it.... :) Until the next review....

Redding/Spy Rock Loop Trail, Ozark, AR

The Redding/Spy Rock Loop begins in the NE section of the Redding Campgrounds. Ample parking is available, and there is a $3.00 day-use fee you should pay.  The first 10 minutes is a trail through taller weeds, a low area that stays wet and is most filled with bugs/spiders/ticks. Once you get to the loop you have the choice of going right or left....highly recommend going left, the trail to the right is very rocky and best going downhill coming in from the other direction.  Once you get on the loop, starting to the left, it's a clean trail, easy to follow. There are a few creeks to cross with little to no water most days. A timber rattler made a sound behind a few rocks, otherwise a great hike, uphill for an hour and a half.  At the top of the peak there is the spur trail to Spy Rock. It is well designated by a sign, and you'll go left off the loop on the spur trail. This trail crosses a road (I suppose you could skip the loop trail and just take the spur to Spy Rock if you wan

Bear Cave Trail, Petit Jean State Park, Morrilton, Arkansas

Rock Formations from Erosion, Bear Cave Trail Bear Cave Trail located within Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas, is a short trail (. 5 mile loop) down to a cave and some awesome rocks/boulders/formations to climb and explore. Legend has it that in this cave the last Black Bear to be killed in the park was shot here. The cave itself is about 8 feet deep, 10 feet wide....would have been a great hibernation den for a bear. I found the cave to be cool to see....but it was the rock formations created by erosion that was most interesting.  Bear Cave on the Trail The rock formations provide ample and mostly safe climbing to the top to see across a valley. There are numerous passageways between these large formations, most 20-30 feet in height, some of the cliff area higher and impassable for climbing.  Rock Formations, Bear Cave Trail Although a short hike, this is a great place to climb early in the morning and sit on a formation and eat breakfast while taking in the valley and sights.
