Keep an eye on the for sale section. and you'll find great deals on anything you might be looking for. Also, Dutchweare, Warbonnet, AHE, and almost all of the other vendors that have a hammock line offer a netless 11' hammock with whoopie sling suspension and a ridgeline for around $65. Lots of people love their ENO hammocks, and I've never tried one, but Ive heard a lot of HF members say that once you try a wider, longer 11' hammock thats made to order by hand, with a softer, lighter fabric that has easily adjustable whoopie slings, you just might never use the ENO in the woods ever again lol. I used to hike with my mass produced hammocks all the time, but once I got my HH and then Warbonnet XLC , I haven't used them other than at home ever since, but thats me.
