Today we investigate a budget friendly packable hammock. If you are anything like the Thrifty Gadget Guy you enjoy getting away from it all. For some it’s the beach others it the woods but no matter where you go a packable hammock is a great addition to your pack.
Now as we know the Thrifty Gadget Guy wasn’t always so budget minded and he always bought the “best”. Well now that he’s a bit wiser he shops for a great thrifty option to fill his gadget needs. He’s tried the more expensive Eno double nest hammock. While the prices are coming down and the hammock is a great product it is most certainly not a thrifty choice. Enter the Wise Owl two person hammock.
Why spend more….the Thrifty Gadget Guy says don’t! The Eno will save you a few ounces of weight and packs down just a bit smaller. Unless you are a ultra-lightweight hiker you won’t notice the difference. Setup time, well exactly the same for both. Take down and pack time the edge goes to the Wise Owl hammock. The configurations of the bag of the Wise Owl carry bag allows for the hammock and straps to fit in one small package. The Eno is a bit more fiddly and requires a separate bag for the hammock and straps. Now I know you are saying, what about build quality? Good news they are both great. Over years of consistent use there’s been no issues with quality.
The Thrifty Gadget Guy’s final decisions is save your dollars for your next gadget and buy the Wise Owl two person hammock. It works as well as the more expensive option and will provide you with years of comfortable lounging anywhere you can find two sturdy trees.
