II. INTRODUCTION Nest Outfitters Inc. began as a small operation in Florida when brothers Peter and Paul Pinholster decided to begin a business that would challenge them creatively. They started their company in a minivan selling hammocks at music festivals and community gatherings. In time, the Pinholster brothers found themselves with more business than they could handle. They expanded their company and ENO (Eagle Nest Outfitters, Inc.) settled down in Asheville, North Carolina. Today, Eagle Nest Outfitters, Inc. continues to supply high quality hammocks and accessories as a thriving company. These hammocks, more widely known as ENOs, range from 18 to 29 ounces and can hold up to 400 pounds of weight. They also span from 4.5 to 8.5 feet for a roomy and comfortable seat. ENO’s consolidate into small sack attached to the hammock and can easily fit into any backpack or beach bag. In our first year of selling products to retail stores in Costa Rica, we will offer the SingleNest and DoubleNest hammocks along with the SlapStrap Suspension System and the SlapStrapPRO.Suspension System. Hammock accessories such as the Underbelly Gear Sling and Guardian Bug Net may be offered depending on each outdoor shop. More products will be offered in future years as sales are projected to increase substantially each year. There is nothing more relaxing than enjoying the view from the top of a mountain or the sandy seashore. The exuberant variety of flora and fauna in the wilderness and countless palm trees along the beaches of Costa Rica are perfect places to set up this comfortable hammock. Scenes such as this are what led to our desire to expand ENO operations into the Costa Rica marketplace. The prospective outdoor shops that will carry our products in 2016 are located in popular tourist destinations in Costa Rica such as Guanacaste, Tamarindo, and San Jose.
