Cottonland Overland Opine Thread

hook those eno's to your roof or ladder and you won't need a RTT. Nice. What did it run shipped?

It was about $700 with rack mounts etc.

Now that i know the footprint I'm going to work on this. The zip in panels and a big cot would be nice too.

School me on these ENO units. Looks like a great option for quick camp set up as long as you don't feel like a rusty jack knife the next mornin.

How To Sleep In A Brazilian Hammock - The Ultimate Hang

 

[wngrog]

I never slept in a hammock in my life until Big Bend. I loved it. Super comfy. Get a double and try it.

 

[Papalud]

The kids and I pretty much only camp in eno's now. Get the bug net, too. Unless it's below 50 degrees or raining, it's the best way to sleep in the woods.

 

[Papalud]

Wish we had the bug nets on this trip: Current River, MO.

Hammock sleeping is awesome when you've had about 47 beers the night before and can't find your glasses to see or your keys....

 

[wngrog]

So wrapping yourself up in it won't keep bugs out?

 

[Papalud]

Not river bank mosquitos in the summer. Bug net also keeps it darker in the morning so the sun doesn't wake you up at the asscrack. That little pocket on the side is perfect for glasses and keys, @beno

The ticket for me would be if I could suspend between the open swingouts in the rear.

Counting the days till the next camping / overlanding trip...

 

[MEMCruiser]

As soon as I got this $hit set up, I would need to make a beer run

 

[BMThiker]

^^^which is why setting up an expedition trailer is preferred by many.

 

[wngrog]

Yeah. The RTT put me in that spot a couple of times. This Foxwing is quick. Easy to set up just for a break not only in the end of day.

 

[ntsaint]

I've almost gone the trailer route a dozen times. But I always talk myself out of it when I think about pulling that thing behind me on a tough trail...

Would be great for a base camp setup, but I find that I don't really do much of that...

That's why the Triple OG Overlanders run the hard shell tents. 30 seconds to deploy/takedown.

 

[Bomar]

Batwing has legs in the bars but $1300. There is another that requires no legs but is not imported from South Africa my guess it is $2500. I really like the Oz tent products but don't know why only the RV5 can zip to it?

 

[MEMCruiser]

Hanibal is legless but pricey and not ready available

 

[wngrog]

The bars are not a $700 hassle I promise

 

[MEMCruiser]

Does the wing always have to be fully extended or can u just extend it fully?
