I have an ENO and an Honest Outfitters one that I got from Amazon for about 30 bucks (including straps).
I love my ENO and it has held up wonderfully. When my wife wanted one, we decided to try a cheaper option (she doesn't use it as much) and got the Honest outfitters one. Honestly they are pretty comparable as far as quality and all goes. The straps are exactly the same (Atlas brand, same style, size) The only real difference is when you fold them up, it seems like the ENO gets a little smaller than the other and the ENO has a little better quality drawstring. Everything else seems to be the same (size, weight, mil of fabric, stitching, etc), the ENO seems a little smaller and easier to handle, but the straps go in a separate bag instead of in the bag with the hammock like the other so that's prob why. All in all we are pleased with cheaper one just the same. I perfer the smaller size of the eno because I strap it to my camelbak and take it with me everywhere (and the awesome print)
ENO is a great option. If you don't have the money to spend then just get that Honest Outfitters one and call it a day. You aren't missing much at all. Especially for a fest hammock that's prob going to get abused and all. I can't speak for the longevity of the honest outfitter one like I can the eno (bc I haven't had it that long or used it all that much) but the fact that it's literally a 3rd of the price of an ENO makes me think that it can stand to have a little less life in the tank...
TL;DR:
ENO- Awesome all around. Expensive (maybe paying a bit extra for the name). Would still recommend.
Honest Outfitters (Amazon)- Also awesome but with very minor dips in quality, 1/3 of the price of eno, would also recommend. <-- best bang for your buck.

Looks like the low Thursday night will be 41, then back to low 50s Friday and Saturday nights, then a chilly low of 37 Sunday night
I'll go ahead and replace this on Amazon because some are under $10. I got one for like $3 and it seems to be good quality!

Try out a cot instead, man. No inflation needed... ready to-use in two minutes and totally off the floor. Prolly cheaper than any air mattress too

expect strong winds ahead of the front. clocking from south, west, north then warming east winds. tie down your tents! specially the easy ups.
Thanks for the suggestion, but they won't be more comfortable than what I'm bringing. You can test it out yourself @ Hulaween and then make a decision if you've never been on one :)
Honestly you can probably get by with just a couple nice wool blankets, and pick up a cheap queen air bed instead of going for the sleeping bags unless you plan on using them later. It shouldn't get any lower than 40F. Might also stay in the 70s/80s. You never know.
A compact stove and pot would be non negotiable to me for cooking and coffee. If you have something like that bring it, the walmart will have a few different types of gas you can pick up. Below is the stove burner I'm talkin bout. Otherwise you can pick up a cheap single burner for 20ish.
​
Might also be a good idea to bring a freezer bag (a zip up bag that's got the foil inside to keep stuff cold from the store) that you can chuck some bacon, eggs, and some other relatively "doesn't HAVE to stay cold" food in there to save you money on the food stores.
There is almost always a hammock or two on sale in the Amazon gold box, most are pretty much identical. I have one like this for day hikes and hanging around, and a Warbonnet Blackbird for my tent. It is a whole other thing from those hammocks, and is the best night of sleep I could wish for in the woods, especially after a rager.
I second this!
These also work well, but be sure to look around on Amazon and Ebay. I was able to find a deal and got a 12 pack for like $8 last year.

Power stations like this one are great, but unfortunately they're like double the price they used to be (I paid $300 for the one I got just a little over a year ago...). https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08F1Z752B/
One year I saw a pretty ripped dude running around in just a diaper and a crying baby mask
Gave me a good scare when he turned around and then had a real good chuckle
Look into a vagina couch. Very durable and portable for camp, in the venue, or wherever else youd want to take it.

Honestly just go on Amazon! There are so many o options. I did just find a super cool pair and used them camping last weekend; just notes you’d need an external battery pack as it’s USB. But they were super dope!

Blackstones are great - I have that exact model, but I use it at home. It's a big chonker - I'd suggest the 17" model which is infinitely more portable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0083GOYGO/ Just keep in mind that Blackstones use cold steel and thus require proper seasoning. You'll need to take care of it or everything will stick and it will rust. Maybe not the simplest thing when you're getting schwifty.
I've been using one of these Coleman butane stoves for $30: https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Portable-Butane-Stove-Carrying/dp/B00FGPXVSM/ then just use regular old pots/pans. While less impressive, they're way easier to maintain and cleaning is easier!
A camp shower setup.
Needs: -Bucket(to store water but this can also pack into this for transporting) -Pop-up changing tent(to shower on) -Battery shower head - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IFHFJXI/ -A lantern stand or some other way to hold/hang the shower head. Could use some sort of hook in the tent possibly.
I also used a Zodi camp shower heater and circulated that into the bucket because the built in shower pressure is super weak but it looks like they’re way up in price now. Amazon has some other propane camp showers for around $150-200 that might be worth checking out. May not even need the battery powered shower head for those.
I got a Winter Outfitters some time ago. Compared to my buddy's Eno we can't find a difference.
It comes with some lame straps so I sprung for the Eno Atlas straps and have been using that combo for awhile now.
Yeah, it was. The end of rows looked like dinosaur skeletons. By the last day I actually had the only canopy that was still standing in whole row. If you're in the market for a canopy I can't recommend this one enough, it's heavy as hell and the bag doesn't have any wheels but it's an absolute tank, well worth the price. Especially after seeing all of those $100 or less canopies that crumple after a strong gust of wind.
Im watching hella you tube videos on this so a two options really, find or bring stones to put in a circle, dig a deep enough hole (doesnt seem the safest tbh), get one of these fire rings.

I got these bad boys from Amazon last week. At the time they were listed at $25 plus a $3 off coupon at checkout.
These! I put them in gallon zip locks with tp. It has saved me a few times! Or just if it's freezing and I don't want to leave my tent ha
Someone in another thread recommended This stuff to keep hydrated to the same effect as pedialyte! I haven't tried it but I'm gonna use it for every other camelback fillup and see how that works for me
Pickle Pops! Pickle juice does wonders with sodium especially for people like me that sweat terribly. Pickle Pops, fruit, and juice does wonders!
Definitely get some of those cheap solar powered garden lights. They make an excellent marker for the pathway back to your site and are really inexpensive.
I know there was one towards the back of the amphitheater, right against the sidewalk. Saw a bunch of people there charging phones.
I grabbed one of these from work. It was perfect! It's waterproof and solar rechargeable: https://www.amazon.com/Audiobomb-Powered-Waterproof-Portable-Charger/dp/B00U7S66C6
This is much, much better:
Adult pedialyte without the sugars, basically.
