    I'm Patiently Waiting...

    ...on my friend and neighbor to buy this trailer from me... which I will promptly take that money and buy a camo NX 250. I've been eyeing this hammock for months now, and have nearly pulled the trigger twice... but a situation has always popped up to where I couldn't. I'm not rich by any means, and $500 is a lot of money to spend on a hammock.

    BUT I can't have anymore dirt bikes so what the hey?!

    My question is has anyone found anything other than the suspension ropes that they don't like about this hammock?
    I make gear... lots and lots of gear.

    There's more to like about the NX than ever before. If I understand correctly, Clark is now putting velcro along the full length of the hammock body for attaching a full length UQ like the TX has. You may find the NX a little warm in the warm weather but besides that I had no complaints when I had an NX, nor with my TX.

    Take a look at the FS forum - I believe there is a Camo NX listed there.

    Going to a greenbelt near here to hang overnight in a couple hours in my NX 250, I'll post a couple of pics tomorrow when I get back. It'll be about 50 tonight so I won't take any UQ, that's the beauty of this thing. Of course, I'll bring a 3/4 pad "just in case" the forecast is off.

    I'm 59 and my back hurts quite a bit, but last month when I hung in my NX at a national wilderness for 3 days, it didn't hurt at all...I have to build an indoor turtledog stand soon, no more excuses...

    Clark has just introduced a whole new concept in their Z-Liner insulation. Gone are the individual pads that velcro into the under-pockets. They have been replaced but this:

    I'm drooling over this one!

    I just received my new NX 250. love it and yes it has full length Velcro. I have slept in it on my porch and find it to be very comfortable and roomy. I ordered the full underquilt this past weekend. Can't wait to try it out.

    And I'm still waiting.

    If i buy it now, the wife will be none too happy about it. But I will have a place to sleep.

    Patience... All good things to those who wait.

    My wife has an nx-250, and I use a warbonnet blackbird. Im not a big person, but I do feel there is some shoulder pinch. There is definately more headroom on the nx-250 compared to the warbonnet, but I feel like i can stretch out more in the blackbird.

    I had a HH for years, switched to a Clarke because I liked the built in weather shield, it can get very cold up in Canada hanging in winter. No turning back now, I'm a Clarkie. Just so many usable features built into this hammock.
