ENO Double Deluxe Hammock

The good book tells us that ‘in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.’  While there is no historical evidence to prove this theory of creation, we’re pretty sure that Adam spent day number eight crafting a hammock.  What better way to hang out under the tree of life, gently swaying in the cool breeze of the Garden… relaxing… and enjoying his newly created paradise, than in a hammock.

And because we’re pretty sure Adam was no dummy, that first hammock had to be a double. After all, do any of us really think Adam was going to leave the world’s first woman out to fend for herself? While we’re far removed from days in the Garden, today Eagles Nest Outfitters is carrying on the tradition of crafting hammocks for enjoyment and relaxation in your corner of paradise.

Get to Know ENO…
In the summer of 1999, brothers Peter and Paul Pinholster decided to permanently escape the traditional workplace and make hanging out their full time occupation.  The idea behind  Eagles Nest Outfitters was born in the campsites and throbbing crowds of Festivals – the result has been a full line of hammocks letting people lounge in comfort nationwide.

Double the Size, Double the Goodness…
Backyard, beach or base camp, the Double Deluxe is the largest hammock in the ENO line, ready and willing to serve as your own portable luxury lounger.

Offering two feet of additional width compared to the ENO SingleNest, the spacious 6’8” x 9’4” dream machine allows room for one, two, or three people–however you want to distribute the 400 pound capacity in your portable tree bed.  The huge surface area means that you can frolic in almost any position and any direction with plenty of room to spare.

Manufactured from breathable quick-drying nylon fabric and triple stitched seams this parachute-style hammock is durable and lightweight with superior strength.

The Double Deluxe also comes complete and ready to hang with high-quality steel carabiners and strength-tested nautical-grade lines for easy setup when it’s time to relax.

Perhaps the only thing better than revelling in the goodness of your tree bed, is the fact that when you’re on the move the DoubleNester easily packs down into the stuff sack rendering your grandiose Nature Lounger the size of a softball.  If only your margarita was this portable!

Once you’ve strung up your grandiose tree bed, use the stuff sack to hold necessities like a flashlight, beanie or midnight snack.

Did we mention that new research suggests how hanging loose on a rocking hammock can soothe you into a quicker, deeper, and more satisfying sleep?

The Critique…
Let’s be honest, when you’re relaxing in a hammock there’s not much to complain about.  As a matter of fact, the largest complaint we had during the trial period was not being able to kick people out of the hammock once we gave them an opportunity to experience the elevated bliss.

The only other ‘legitimate’ complaint we had was a minor static electricity issue on warm windy days.  But here’s a question, does it look like our little gumption tester was bothered by the static problem?

Bottom Line….
Whether you use the Double Deluxe hammock for extra space or for extra friends, it’s ready for adventure whenever you are.  So go ahead, recline, repose, rest, and relax in the ENO Double Deluxe Hammock and find your own Garden of Eden moment.

And now if you’ll excuse us, our Double Deluxe is calling….
