Hello from TN - longtime lurker.
I have a 16 yr old son whose friends all have (or are getting) an ENO hammock. I am going to get him one for Easter. I'm getting me one too!
My motive is to eventually go on overnight hikes - I have been researching like crazy, mostly on this forum.

Here is my short term plan:
For my son: ENO doublenest plus Atlas straps. He will mostly just hang in the parks and keep in his truck. ENO cause he likes the colors!
For me: ENO doublenest, pair of amsteel continuous loops to replace the included cords, keep the caribiners, Atlas strap, whoopie adjustable ridgeline. I'll look into whoopie slings after testing out and if I decide to do some camping.

No trees in the back yard but I do have a 6 ft fence around the pool. Rather than tie to the posts in one corner and risk pulling the posts inwards, I am thinking about a 10-12 ft bar laid on top of the fence in the corner and hang from the bar. This should put downward force on the fence, correct?
