I had the Eno double nest for a few years and it was a good hammock. I recently upgraded to the Hennessy Explorer Deluxe as I'm 6'3 and found the Expedition was a little short for me. It comes with the bug net attached (instead of encasing like the Eno) and the rainfly all in one. If I had to do it all over again I never would have purchased the Eno. Look at the options Hennessy has and see if they have something that will fit your frame and weight as well as packing ability. I take my hammock moto camping and to the BWCA for a week every year and it's served me extremely well.
If the hammock doesn't come with the snakeskins pick them up. Huge time saver and they used to come with the hammock. Don't bother with the stock straps. I ended up picking up slapstraps for my Eno and found they were much better than the Hennessy ones. The Hennessy ones you have to wrap around trees or whatever and they're just kind of a pain. Make sure you get the pro version of the slap straps. Pick up a couple of climbing rings and a couple decent carabiners and you're good.
I just bought mine last week. So far it is epic. I am going camping 10/25-10/27 ask me the following Monday, 10/28, and I'll give you an update.
If I can make a couple of recommendations: 4x rappelling rings, 2x caribeaners.
You can put the hammock up in a few seconds if you have snake skins.
Yeah, it seems steep but I am just going off of the receipts I have from my purchases.
EDIT:
​
Hammock - 135
Hammock Rainfly - 140
Snake skin - 20
2QZQ - Mod 4 - 92
Atlas straps - 30
Carabiners - 14 (you need 2)
Omega Ring - 20 (you need 4 of them)
Dry compression - 45
​
None of this includes shipping or taxes. That being said, it's a great setup and I am not disappointed with how it performs. If you pick up an under quilt then this setup is unstoppable.
​
EDIT 2: The hammock includes the price for the original rainfly, I still have that and don't want it.
I ditched the stock rope on my Eno and customized it a bit. I got some Amsteel blue and made a continuous loop that passes through the channel and a rap ring. Finished product looks like this. You will never have to worry about a knot coming loose again with this setup, and it makes hanging the hammock a breeze, just clip a carabiner to the rap rings and you're done.
Lots of ways!
• Cinch Buckles
• Rappelling Rings
• Dutch Buckles
• Strap Buckles
• Toggle in a Marlin Spike Hitch
• Carabiner in a Marlin Spike Hitch
Most of these basically involve some piece of hardware attached to the hammock via an Amsteel Continuous Loop pulled through the end channel.
The last two involve tying a Marlin Spike Hitch.
Here's a picture of my SO's hammock being converted to use Omega Pacific Rappelling Rings on 15" Amsteel Continuous Loops.
