Floating hammock raft with a fire pit!

Saw this one posted on the ENO Facebook page today. HOLYCRAPIWANTONE :boggle:

Now that would make for some summer fun!

All that water. All that green. No mosquito nets? At least they were nice enough to have a fire pit so the mosquitoes can cook them first...

I was tempted to say maybe it was a dock, instead of a raft, but then I saw the paddles.

I think I'd want more deck area, if I was rafting with three other people.

I wonder if they've rigged a special hammock for hanging over the edge of the raft to get rid of, well, stuff....

lol looks like a fun time on the water to me..:)

Sweet, with a tarp rigged over the whole raft it would make a decent live-a board:D

Tom Sawyer and Hunkleberry Finn go high tech

I saw that on Facebook and it looks way cool. I have been thinking of a kayaking trip on the Apalachicola river but now I may have to do the raft thing.

Great picture! After seeing this I just had to go to the Eno fb page and hit like. If there are more pictures of that adventure I’d love to see ‘em. Seeing the ideas that people come up with while hanging and paddling are fascinating.

Pure Awesome at its finest now let's get some tarps in there for sun protection

I just saw that too! NICE!

Orion X and I are discussing building one that would be sea-worthy! Maddog:D

I just saw this on REI's facebook page too... thought I was gonna be the first to post here. You guys are fast! :)

LOL same here. Hammocking sure is catching on...almost TOO fast. Everyone's going to get all the good trees! I need to start spreading some propaganda about how great tents are :lol:

I'll take one or two please

That is what my summer would have looked like if there had been hammocks in 1972.

that what im screamin, i want one to

Already some need for a new product! Time to hit the lumber yard Brandon. "The Warbonnet Brandon's Ark" :laugh:

I saw the same FB post from ENO... what a fantastic getup!

Awesome.....

Looks like a great amount of fun. YeeHaa!!!! :)

A nice way to spend a summer, no need to find water source, plenty of water for a bath, fishing for food.

Smoke from fire keeps the skeeters away, being on water helps to. They usally dont fly over water but around its edge.

Also notice they have the tiki torches for mosquitoes. A tarp would be a must have I would think.

A good tarp and you can sail anywhere.

These guys better be members here???! Thats some crafty thinking. Bear Grylls or Cody or Les didn't think of this?
The lads deserve an award...if they are still afloat.

That is freaking AWESOME!!!

I wonder how balanced it is. Like in the airplane so it doesn't fly crooked.

There goes my weekend.

like how the fire pit is suspended on chains over the water...........just move it out of the way and you got yourself a crapper too........multi-purpose :)

Okay, who's gonna be the first to do "A Year On The River"?

Which river would be the question. Mississippi?

i'd vote this for next NEHHA meetup.

I guess I know what I'm building this winter.

I think it's a dock for the mere concept of tipping a raft that small with one person hanging on the end like that. That being said, that leaves an opening for someone else to build an even sweeter set up. Group hang ON the river anyone?

It takes all sorts for the world to go round nice one

I think the Jacks could design one where the hammock doubles as a sail during the day.

Just need to add outriggers for tarp support and you've got a great setup.

It give's new meaning to "getting out of the wrong side of bed".

That looks like a great time. Needs a bag to stick in the water to keep the beer cool.

While I like the idea I wonder how many places exist where one can float for more than a day or two without hitting a dam or rapids to get around.

Notice the tiki torches on the corner posts. Ya gotta love ingenuity.

How they made the raft.
