About Eagles Nest Outfitters
Brothers Peter and Paul Pinholster opened Eagles Nest Outfitters after embarking on a cross-country adventure in the summer of 1999. The pair had set up shop in their sister's garage sewing hammocks and slap straps, with the goal of traveling the East Coast selling their products at music festivals and community gatherings. They initially lived out of their seen-better-days mini van while building a thriving business. While vending at festivals along the Appalachian Trail, a friend suggested they set up permanent shop in Asheville, North Carolina. In short order, the brothers established themselves high up on the Blue Ridge Mountains, where they continue to supply hammocks and accessories to like-minded people all over the world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Large double hammock, May 23, 2009

UPDATE: I ended up purchase the Grand Trunk ultralight single hammocks for my two sons, so was able to actually compare the ENO with the Grand Trunk brands.

The ENO is definitely a thicker material - parachute nylon - while the Grand Trunk hammock are made a very thin nylon material. But for a hot/humid climate like Texas, the Grand Trunk hammocks outperformed the ENO hammock this weekend (May) while camping. The GT hammocks allowed the breeze to circulate, and actually keeps you quite a bit cooler. I think the ENO hammock will be better in the cooler times of the year, but for the summer - and for this price - the GT is a winner.

Also, if you are planning to purchase the "Slap Straps Pro" as I previously recommended - be wary that the tag states that they are for a weight max. of 200 lbs and does not tell whether this is per strap, or for the two straps combined (although the ENO hammock is rated for 400 lbs). If I had noticed this before I purchased, I would have contacted the manufacturer for clarification.

I debated between this and the Grand Trunk Double Hammock that was about $40 compared to ENO at $58. The ENO hammock has very good quality caribiners, unlike a lot of hammocks which have S-hooks (although I am sure you could purchase your own caribiners or higher quality S-hooks). Also, the ENO hammock is supposed to be able to hold up to 400 lbs, compared to most other hammocks which state 300 lbs. The hammock appears very durable and strong, and we have actually had it in the rain, and it dries very quickly.

The only Cons I saw compared to the GT hammock is that the ENO hammocks only carry a two year warranty, compared to GT's 10 year warranty. However, the ENO hammock quality appears superior. Also, note that the double hammock is very wide compared to a single hammock, so it takes a little bit of getting used to all the room you have :) (the extra material can actually "cover" you like a light blanket).

If you camp a lot and can spring for the Eagle's Nest Outfitters "slap straps pro" which are around $20-$25 - you won't regret it. They make putting this hammock up super-easy and super-fast. They are thin, lightweight, but super strong. They are also easier on tree-bark compared to plain rope. On that note, this hammock DOES NOT HAVE ROPE ATTACHED. So make sure you have some on hand, or buy the "slap straps".

5.0 out of 5 stars My New Bed, January 6, 2010

Been sleeping in this hammock as a bed for about 2 months. Very comfortable when I lay diagonally in it. Very sturdy and stable. Should last for a long time. My therm-a-rest made warm enough to sleep when the heater broke and my room went down to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. The extra room from the doublenest is great even for just one.

5.0 out of 5 stars I could LIVE in this hammock, December 30, 2009

I bought this hammock after my brother got into hammock-camping. I only use it for one person, but because it's wider than a single nest, after I add a sleeping pad and my sleeping bag and camping pillow, there is plenty of fabric on the sides to protect me from breeze, or just make me feel like a caterpillar :) I slept in this for a week straight on one camping trip, with a rain fly set up for wind, rain & falling branch protection. I quickly discovered that if it's raining and you lay in the hammock to read & stay dry, it's IMPOSSIBLE to stay awake. It's incredibly relaxing, and this model is very well built. I just bought a second one for my fiance's christmas gift - no more tents!!
