Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me begin by saying that my $17 OuterEQ hammock is EXACTLY the same as my roommate's $80 Eno. Exactly! I was going to give it four stars because I need one slightly larger but I figured that's my problem at six feet tall, not theirs. Anyway, I LOVE THIS HAMMOCK! It's light, it's fairly spacious for me and should be quite roomy if you're smaller, it folds up very small and very quickly. As for the straps and suspension systems... NOT NEEDED. I learned a few knots and watched a few videos on YouTube and managed to get the hammock strung as you see it in the picture with just a single 50 foot long 1/8" nylon rope and I didn't even cut it, I just left the slack under me. As a matter of fact, I had to climb back down the cliff at the halfway point when I realized what I was getting in to and use said rope to tie my backpack to my belt so I could pull it up after I reached the top. As a lifetime hammock enthusiast, I already owned two good hammocks but one has straight pieces of wood running through the top and bottom for support and the other is a heavy knit, likely made for beaches or back porches I guess, and neither is portable at all. This OuterEQ lightweight parachute material hammock is able to be carried anywhere; that's why I included my climb to the hammock spot as well as the hammock spot picture. I scaled a 70 foot cliff face to get to this spot and it was breathtakingly worth it. (downtown Denver waaaaay back in the distance) I have wanted a picture like that since I first saw these types of hammocks but didn't think my very first set up would be so worthy. I intend to make each and every set up of it to be worthy of a shot like that and I hope you have similar good luck with yours.
