Eagles Nest Outfitters is a cool little company out of Asheville NC that has worked its way up from two brothers selling hammocks out of their trunk to a serious competitor in the hammock arena. (you didn’t even know there was a hammock arena did you?) I had a chance to meet these guys and they’re just like you and I. They are the type that would use their product, which always benefits design.

These hammocks are well made parachute type material. The Pronest only weights 12.8 oz yet it can hold up to 400 lbs. Its a miracle of modern engineering folks. The Pronest retails for $79.95.

You can also pick up the Slap Straps which make it a breeze to hang your nest for only $19.95. Who needs a sleeping pad?

  Good call on the lighter biners.

  they also now have the 'microstraps' which are rated at 200lbs but only weigh 4 oz.! Great light sleeping system. I've already spent three days in it and have another 11 to go before i pack it up and leave southeast Alaska. The dryFly and bugnet are good additions as well. Personally though, the heavy steel biners they provide are too heavy; i swapped mine out for some featherweight Trango wiregate biners which also shaved a few ounces i'd guess.
