After what seems like an eternity, my custom Nighthawk from Dream Hammock arrived today! Let me tell you, I could not be any more satisfied with this hammock.
I decided a month ago that it was time to retire the ENO DN and get a hammock truly dedicated to hammock camping. After doing my research, I decided to order from Mr. Randy at Dream Hammock. I liked the ability to build a hammock totally custom to my camping style, as well as the use of the Hyper D fabric. The Hyper D fabric is totally as advertised. It is soft to the touch and not "plastic'y"(I just invented that BTW) like so much of the other ripstop nylons. It is also a very cool fabric. I am a hot sleeper and after laying in the hammock for an hour today it was still as cool as the other side of the pilliow (RIP Stuart Scott). The last thing to note is the unbelievable strength of the fabric. I am a big dude, weighing around 275 depending on what I had for lunch. There was virtually no stretch whatsoever after climbing in. I had to hang my ENO 10 feet off the ground and pole vault into it to keep my backside from dragging the dirt.
Mr. Randy does unbelievable work and his customer service is second to none. After shooting him an email before I offically placed my order, I asked Randy to call me as I had a few questions. He was extremely patient as I berrated him with question after question to make sure I was getting the set-up that was right for me. I got a totally custom hammock, tailored exactly to my specifications in less than 3 weeks. How's that for customer service?!?
Here are a few pictures from today. Mind you, we had some 30 MPH gusts in Savannah today, but I was not going to let that affect a quick test run. Thanks Mr. Randy!
Look at that room!
