    Has anyone extended the quad-pods? Those legs are really short!

They do not thus I am thinking about making my own. I'll need some bungee which is easy to find, but I will need to find the proper tent style (preferably lightweight as that used in this stand) piping in the right diameter. Thus my question. Does anyone know of a source(s) where I might be able to get a 1.5 to 2 ft extension (with male and female ends) to add to the utility of the eno nomad stand. thanks for any suggestions.

    This is a late reply, but I was looking for other information and stumbled on this.
    Last i checked less than a year ago, you could buy a replacement ridge pole consisiting of all the segments, directly from ENO for around $50. Ask about replacement parts.

    Has anyone considered using a fence top rail like the turtledog stands? I saw one of these and forgot I had a nomad from before I got into warbonnet hammocks. I have a tensa4 but something freestanding would be great in some situations.

    Any update? The Nomad can't be extended safely?

    I took my Nomad stand to a metal supply store. The sales associate was a hammock camper and we discussed what it would cost me to get the ridgepole and legs extended. After inspecting the stand, it was determined that it would be less expensive to purchase a 2nd Nomad and use it for parts. I'm now gonna sell mine.

    For a 12-foot ridgeline, you will need four 36-inch 1-inch diameter poles.

    Cost $67 US Dollars w/o shipping

    I was not just looking at extending the ridgeline, but all 8 legs too. To get the tapered female ends, their craftsmen were $90 an hour. Again, cheaper to buy a 2nd one for parts.
