Just a quick preview. I'll get some more thoughts up later.

Nice review brother ... I also liked the pics that Patriot posted on this item from his trip last year ... maybe he can post some of them in this thread. One question I have is would it be feasible to use this as a ground shelter as well to keep bug and snakes out if there were no suitable trees around with a couple of small collapsible tent poles to keep the net up and string a tarp with?

Yeah, you could rig something up. The one thing to keep in mind though, would be that the bottom is not waterproof, so if you were on damp ground, you'd definitely want some sort of WO ground sheet.

Really good review of what appears to be a solid product.
Someone needs to come up with something a little beefier for those of us in the Northern climes...

For cold weather, even something in the 60's to low 70's at night, you might want to use a pea pod. I believe some call it an under-hammock. It hangs under the hammock and offers an insulating layer of air. Look at hammocks on youtube and you can see some folks use hammocks when it is really cold weather even with snow. Being in the deep south, I have never used one. If it was going to be cold, I just slept on the ground with my thermarest. |
