In the summer of 1999, brothers Peter and Paul Pinholster decided to permanently escape the traditional workplace and make hanging out their full time occupation. They wanted a business that would challenge them creatively, but also allow them to pursue a laid-back lifestyle.
They began as a small operation in St. Petersburg, FL, planning to travel the East Coast in a ramshackle minivan and sell hammocks at music festivals and community gatherings along the way. In the early years, home was wherever the van was parked that night.
The brothers dedicated their days and nights to making and selling the most comfortable hammocks in the world…..I was introduced to the ENO hammocks a few weeks ago and since I have always been a hammock fan, I was really interested in trying this hammock. Eno offers a wide selection of hammocks including the Single Nest Hammock.
The Single Nest hammock comes in 32 different color combination and features as you can guess by its name a single person hammock that is made of a light weight high quality nylon material. Unfolded the hammock is about: (L x W) 4′ 7″ x 9′ 4″. The very first thing I noticed is how light and compact the hammock is when folded. It is only about 3.5″ x 4.5″ and weight only 18 oz. so it practically takes no space and its little weight makes this hammock very easy to transport and bring along on family trips and outdoors adventures but does not limit its use to these occasions as I have found it is a really nice thing to have to have at home also…Great for backyard camping and relaxation time.
The Single nest is really simple to install and to make it even more versatile, the storage sack is attached to your hammock so you do not have to worry about losing the storage bag! The hammock has two large easy to open hooks that you use to set up your hammock (you will more likely need to add something to the tree or whatever you are setting the hammock on in order to use the hooks). The Single Nest Hammock has a 400lb capacity and has a retail price of 54.95.
Eno also has other products in the catalog including Hammock Suspension products like the Slap Strap PRO Suspension system that allows you to add two extra feet of length and two extra attachment loops giving you a better range of use for your hammock!
The slap Strap Pro is easily adjustable, features a high quality / resistant .75” Tubular Nylon Webbing, Supports Up To 400lbs and it is tree friendly. It is really a nice addition to the hammock and it is also very easy to use. The retail price on the Slap Strap Pro Suspension System is 24.95.
